A Chat with Kelsey Price. The New UK 100km Champion.

On Saturday May 3rd, Kelsey Price, won the 2025 British 100km Championship, incorporated into the annual Anglo-Celtic Plate 100km Home Countries International. 

Although she has gained sucees at 24-hour and longer off-road events, it was her first 100km road race. Her time of 7 Hours 44 minutes and 21 seconds places her as 13th athlete on the GB all-time lists for 100km. I caught up with Kelsey to chat about her race, her training and what the future holds for what many are calling one of the “Rising stars of GB ultra-running”

Who is Kelsey Price? 

 AS. So where does Kelsey live, and who is Kelsey?

 KP. I live in South East London, so East Dulwich. I grew up in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which is where the team hotel was for the Mallory Park race. So, it was a home run for me.

 AS. Oh my gosh, that’s weird. What do you do for work? 

Do you sit at a desk? Are you active? Or what does work involve for you?

 KP. I’m a management consultant. Our clients are all health and well-being clients, but I am also a running coach with Camino Ultra. So, I’ve got two things going on really.

AS. How have you recovered from the 100km?

 KP. I think, touch wood, I’ve got no injuries. It’s been a real whirlwind week. So, last week, I went straight back into busy work at client sites, travelling down to Bournemouth and then on Saturday was my partner’s first 100k where I was crewing, which I’ve also learned is a very hard thing to have to do. It was also his 30th birthday. So, we flew to Sardinia and now is my recovery plan. I’ve got a couple of days of just resting because I think it’s more than just the physical recovery, isn’t it? It’s the whole nervous system recovery. So, I’m still recovering and enjoying looking forward to the next few days. 

AS. I’m sure you’ve been well advised it is more than just the physical. There’s a whole emotional element that affects you on many levels after these big efforts. 100km on the road, as you found, takes a lot out of you. You are riding a high for a few days because you obviously had a good race, but take your time before you plan your next adventure.

 KP. It’s a really funky mix of fatigue and adrenaline.  I think you have to get past that. You have to process what you really feel like. So, yes, I am definitely learning a lot.

First Steps Into Running 

 AS. Just backtracking a little, were you sporty at school? Looking at your sporting background, did you do any athletics at school? Were you involved in other sports? Tell us about school days and sports.

 KP. Total opposite. I actually broke my arm once and my mum thought I was making it up because I didn’t want to do sports day. So, I didn’t really do any sport at school. My Mum finally took me to the hospital about three days later, and it was actually a broken arm and not me wanting to miss sports day. I didn’t start running until I was probably 17. So, I definitely wasn’t sporty at school.

 AS. Looking at your race record, you seem to have run your first ultra in 2017, the Snowden quarter ultra. Is that right? Or had you run one before that?

 KP. No, that was my first one, and it was a very, very hard one. I thought I’d never do anything like it ever again. I was absolutely broken. I did that with my Dad. He’d started running when I was about 17, and I thought it was quite cool. So we just spent a lot of time running and training together.

 He booked me a marathon for my 18th birthday, and then, every birthday, the distance went up and up and up. The Snowdon race was definitely a very early race of mine, but it was very beautiful and very difficult.

 AS. How old were you then for your first Ultra?

 KP. I think I was 21. I think you had to be 21 to run it. And I was 21 at that point.

 AS. What a great 21st present.

 KP. Some would not agree.

Best Distance and Best Surface?

 AS. Things have certainly progressed since then. You first came on my radar when you ran the Gloucester 24 hours in 2022 and won that with about 200km. Then you stepped up on my, and other people’s, radar when you won the 145-mile Grand Union Canal race from Birmingham to London the following year. How did you progress from doing 50k around Snowdonia to doing a 24-hour on a track or running from Birmingham to London?

 KP. Great question. It’s a couple of things because my first ultras were definitely all on the trails and quite different to the more recent races that I’ve done. That is probably because of two things. Around COVID, like many others, I didn’t really have much else to do apart from running so I started running a lot on flattish terrain. I live in London, so I ran a lot of London miles, which are fairly flat.

 I was playing to my strengths a little bit by not being able to train so much on the trails. But then also my coaches, Darren and David at Camino Ultra, who have done 24-hour track running as well, have always said you would love a 24-hour track race. That sparked my intrigue. I thought I wouldn’t love it, and then I did one. I think, what I learned from the flatter type races is that they’re so simple. It’s just you and the running, and I think there’s a real meditative element to that, where you don’t have to think about anything else. I was drawn more to that and ended up running more flat miles and less on the trails. I’ve definitely got more trail races in me in the future, but I haven’t done one for a while, and I am really loving the kind of track and canal races. The canal race was quite a special one because I live in London and grew up in the Midlands, so running from Birmingham to London felt like a nice one to do as well.

 AS. You ran a very good time. I think it’s still the fifth or sixth fastest time on that course, and there are some very good names ahead of you on the All-time list like Sam Amend and Debbie Consani, who have both been involved with the ACP. 

 KP.Thank you very much. That’s very kind of you to say.

 AS. You went back to Crawley last year and improved your 24-hour distance to 231km, which is quite a jump. In those couple of years since Gloucester,  and going through to Crawley, you improved your hundred-mile time split by two and a half hours, and your 24-hour distance increased to 230km +.

 What is the magic formula? Or is it nothing special other than consistency and keeping doing the simple things well?

 KP. I think part of it’s been learning to trust myself a little bit more. I think when you first do these things, there are so many unknowns, so you tend to play a little bit on the edge of caution. I think that’s something that still makes me very nervous because you don’t like to start a race too confidently, and then realize that you’re crashing and burning at the end, so I’m definitely still on that journey. The Anglo-Celtic Plate taught me a lot about that because I probably played with fire a little more than I ever have. I think a lot of that is knowing that when it gets hard, you can keep going, so it’s okay to be a little ambitious and push it a bit more. I think more widely that I’ve learned a lot about my hormones and learning to work with my hormones. Improving my nutrition too, and adding a bit more strength coaching as well. I’ve now got a strength coach to help the whole wrap-around that’s more than just the running.  I think that’s where the added little parts have all had their part to play to help improve those times. It’s a combination of a few different things really but I’m feeling more confident, I think, with trusting myself, which is nice.

Balancing Running Work and Life

 AS. Looking at your stats, whether by choice or design, you seem to work around your lifestyle and balance that work-life balance, by majoring in one or two ultras a year, whereas some people tend to run an ultra a month.

Is that a conscious decision or just something you think that’s all your body can handle and do well?

 KP. So I’ve been on a bit of a journey with it. Back in 2020, I had quite a bad stress fracture. Then, in 2021, I had another stress fracture, which meant I was out for months and months. Then I learned that I was probably suffering from Relative Energy Deficiency in sports (REDS). I had a lot to address with that, and thinking off the back of that I was working with caution, knowing that I can probably handle one race a year, that’s kind of a big one, but in order to be sustainable I need to put the time in to recover after that. So, that was about five years ago now that I’ve been playing a bit cautiously with the races. Also, I actually love rest as well. I love to do a race and just absolutely rest and have the time to kind of feel like you’re ready to go and train again rather than constantly be training. It’s a bit of those two things, but this year, I’m feeling really good about things. Probably, it will look quite different.

I’ll probably run three races this year.  I ran the Barry 40  in March, which was a bit of a training race for the Anglo-Celtic plate. Now having run the Anglo-Celtic plate, I will rest a little before building up to my next 24-hour as I have just been selected for the GB team for the IAU World Championships in October.

 I’m feeling in a good place with all of the other stuff that supports the running, and I  feel quite far away from the time when I was constantly injured. 

AS. On this journey you’ve been on, was there a magic moment when you thought, I have some capacity here, and I could be quite good at this? Is it still a journey you’re just enjoying, and it’s evolving?

 KP. I still don’t think I am very good. It’s funny when I was picked for England for the 100k, I said to Robbie ( Robbie Britton the England team manager ) “Why are you picking me? I’d applied for the Open Race but then got selected for the England team. So yes, still definitely on that journey. It’s been so nice to hear people say, Well done and things” to kind of make me feel like I did something good.

 AS. I have to say, that’s very refreshing to hear. What motivated you to put your hat in the ring for the ACP?

 KP. My coaches Darren and David (Darren Strachan and David Bone,) ran in the open race at an ACP as one of their first Ultras, and they said it was an amazing race. They went into it naively and ate loads of pizza and things like that. So I knew of the event from them, and they spoke highly of it. Then, if I’m very honest, there have been a lot of unknowns with the World 24-hour  Championships in October. I got a qualifier at Crawley last year, but obviously, you don’t know whether you’ll be selected. I only found out a couple of weeks ago, but on the off chance that I was selected, I thought it would be a good stepping stone to get another serious ultra in my legs.

 I applied for the open race, but the selection for the England team was a massive surprise. So, I was very flattered that I was picked, but I’m very glad I did it because it was such a great day. 

The Training Block building to The British Chamionship 100km. 

AS. You mentioned you did the Barry 40 mile as a training run on the way. Briefly describe the training block building up to the ACP. How many weeks were you focused on it, and what was your average weekly mileage, etc?

 KP. I would say from the new year in January, I started to be a bit more structured and have these two races with Barry as the stepping stone and then, ACP as the main one in mind for the first half of the year. I only ever did two 100-mile weeks, so I never went above that. I’d say my average is probably around 70-80 miles and about 20% of that is walking, so I don’t do big mileage weeks. I still don’t know if I benefit massively from the big mileage weeks, but I think mentally it’s good to get those big mileage weeks in my legs. I think just being consistent with the mileage and having some harder sessions in there is what probably has made the difference for me. I’ve done some quite longer, hard runs like Barry. I did try to go for it there. So that was 40 miles. I think I ran a 33-mile training run a couple of weeks before the Anglo-Celtic Plate, but I didn’t really go higher than that. As I said, my weekly mileage wasn’t huge, but it felt like a good amount for me, especially going back to what I was saying about being a little cautious. I don’t want to go into a race already fatigued and potentially on the edge of injury or illness. I think I am still learning exactly what that sweet spot is, but my coach has been great with all of that. 

AS. I think It’s fair to say, between you, you’re doing something right. 

KP. Thank you.

 AS. I chatted with Henry last week. ( Henry Hart Mens ACP winner)

 He’s obviously with Belgrave Harriers, and he is down at the club every week, having great sessions with the guys and the girls.

Do you have a weekly session where you’re doing something out of your comfort zone? 

 KP. Throughout the winter, Camino, my running community, had a winter track series. Every Friday morning, we would go to a different track in London and do a track session together. I feel like that set off the training block nicely. Then I’m quite lucky. I’ve got quite a few friends who also like to do the longer runs as well.

 Then I have had a couple of long solo hard runs, which are always the harder ones where you’re out there on your own. But it’s much easier to have company when you run with people, isn’t it?

Race weekend at the Anglo-Celtic Plate,British 100km Championships.

 AS. Certainly is. So fast, forward a bit, and you get to your home town of Ashby de La Zouch. 

KP.So very weird.

 AS You’re at the Premier Inn, and all of a sudden you’re in the team environment. You’ve got all these people swanning around in tracksuits from various countries.

Did you feel any imposter syndrome just being there in a team environment, or did you suddenly feel at home and that this is where you belong?

 KP. It felt very, very strange. I’ve got to say all week, you’ve got the race in your mind, but it’s the first time I’ve ever run in a team in this kind of way. So I think an added layer of anxiety was what it was all going to be like with the team hotel stuff and having the team around you. 

 I think beforehand, I was quite nervous to have that whole weekend in Ashby de la Zouch, but as soon as I got there, everyone was so kind. It actually did feel nice, because everybody was just in the same boat. The team were all so lovely. We hadn’t met each other before, so it did feel strange. 

AS. For most of you, especially the England girls, you were doing your first road 100Ks.

 So, you’re there on the start line. What’s going through your head?

 KP. What was going through my head was, “ I have no idea what pace I am going to run this at. I’m just going to have to go with it, but I had no real idea.

All the girls in the England team set off quite quickly, and we were chatting and ended up staying together for quite a few laps.  I remember having a conversation with myself after maybe 10K or so along the lines of, “I’m here now, and I’m running at this pace. I’m going to just hang in there and sit tight, and see what happens. I think after a couple of miles, you do relax, but that start line’s always a bit of a strange feeling, isn’t it?

 Especially seeing so many England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland tops. It was very cool though. I felt very proud.

 AS. Watching the race unfold and looking at your splits as well, although you were more or less running together as a team, you seemed to let the others go a little bit and were just slightly behind them. I think Steph, Belinda and Katie went off ahead of you, and you were lying a little bit behind them for the first few laps. Was that a conscious decision thinking, ” Oh. I’m not sure I can hold their pace.”

 KP I don’t think I’ve ever started a race where I was in the lead. There’s something about that which makes me feel very, very nervous. I think even though it wasn’t a conscious decision, there’s something inside me that makes me hold back a little bit because once you are at the front, I think there is a little bit of pressure to keep that up, and mentally, if you’re at the front and then you get overtaken, I think that’s a little bit of pressure to keep that up. I think that’s a harder way to race it. So it was a conscious decision, but then when that gap closed, I was like, well, I’ve just got to try and keep this now. Even though we were all on the same team, it didn’t really matter who came where, but Belinda was always very close behind, and I think with the nature of the race and the hairpin turns you’re very aware of that, so I think the whole time you didn’t fully relax but I think it was. It always makes for good racing in those situations, doesn’t it?

 AS.Yes, it does. When in the race did you take the lead? Can you remember when you consciously took the lead, or didn’t that register? Were you just running, and kept running?

 AS. It was all such a blur.  I have no idea, and I think partly that’s because I didn’t check my watch for distance, which is a good thing. I’ve been guilty of checking it too many times in races before. I had no idea in terms of timings or distance when I did take the lead.

AS. Looking at the splits, you ran a very even race. You should be happy with that as it’s very hard to run a nearly even 100k. You didn’t run over a 23-minute lap, and you didn’t run less than 22 minutes. So, all your splits were within a minute of each other, and many were just a few seconds different.

KP.Wow?

 AS. Looking at some of the others, they’re throwing in the odd 25 or 28-minute laps. So, something was happening to them.

 KP. I think part of that was just telling myself not to go to the loo!

 I’ve got to say though, in terms of feel, it didn’t feel even pace in that second half. That hill that you go up and down twice each lap kept getting harder, and it felt like a mountain by the end.

 AS. How should I put it diplomatically? It was not an easy course.

 KP. I’m glad you said that.

 AS. When did you feel you could win? Did you have a scary moment thinking, “Oh my gosh, here I am, little Kelsey, who had never run a road 100km before, is going to win the British Championship?

 KP. I can’t quite remember, but as soon as I took the lead, I think that’s when I first said to myself, “Oh, if I keep this up, I could potentially win, but I also knew that the other girls who were quite closely behind me, are very, very good at the marathon distance. I mean, their marathon times are way, way quicker than my marathon time, so I always had it in the back of my mind that all it would take is for them to do a bit of a sprint or tempo surge, which they’re more used to doing races than me, and I’m definitely not in the lead anymore.

 So, I never felt comfortable that I’d have the win, but it was something as soon as I was in the lead that motivated me to try and keep up the gap.

 AS. How does it feel now, to look back and feel you are a British 100km champion?

 KP. Oh wow! It doesn’t feel like that’s me. It’s a bit of a surreal experience, but when I think about it, yeah, it feels amazing. I feel very, very, very proud and happy. 

AS. You’ve got that wonderful British Championship shield now, which has some amazing names on it.

KP. I know we’ve had to move things around the house just to fit it. It’s huge, and it’s so cool to see how far it dates back.

Nutrition and Shoe choices for the 100km 

 AS. Geeky stuff and slightly tangential. What shoes were you wearing?

 KP. I was wearing the Adidas Adizero 4’s.

 AS.Okay.

 KP. This is probably not recommended, but  I’d only ever run three miles in them. So it was the second time I’d run in them.

 AS.You’re following a strong tradition, so don’t worry about that, but you’ve worn Adidas shoes before, so you know the brand?

 KP. Yes, but, only recently though. My partner got some for free for running the Cape Town Marathon last year, but they didn’t have his size but had mine, so I got a pair. So that was the first time I wore them, and I’ve loved them ever since.

 AS. Nutrition-wise, did you have a regular plan going into the race, or was it just something that evolved as the race went on?

 KP. This was the thing that was most different to what I’ve ever been used to. Normally, I’ve got my Dad, my partner, and my brother crew me and my nutrition is quite random. They just give me stuff as and when I say I want it. Because of the team element, Robbie said everything had to be down on a sheet of paper in terms of what I would need on each lap, what carbs I’d need, what water I’d need and what salt I’d need. So I had to think of what I would need, and I tried more than I think I’ve ever, ever had to and probably had a Maurton gel every 25 minutes or so. 

AS. That’s good because he wants his athletes to all have a plan, but he will also know from experience that very few plans work out and go according to a plan. There’s always a bit of flexibility, and you sometimes have to adjust as the race goes on to how you’re feeling. 

KP. You’re so right.  I think you can feel if you’ve got too much of a plan, that you think you’re going to stick to and you don’t, you can feel, “Oh! I’ve gone off plan, ” and that can make you almost feel like you’re failing or panic a little bit. So it was quite different to any racing I have ever done. Even sticking to gels for that long. I mean, I normally scoff like pastries or something instead. So the fuelling was different, but

 even the feel of the atmosphere, the environment, around the Anglo-Celtic Plate was different to other races.

 I don’t know whether competitive is the right word, but it’s like that extra level, isn’t it? It means a lot to people, and they’ve trained really hard for it. They’ve sacrificed things, and I think you can feel that a lot more than say Crawley or Gloucester 24-hour races where there are so many different standards of people there, and they’ve all got different stories and journeys.

Marathon Times and 100km Performances.

AS. Looking at 100k as an event. You mentioned that people like Belinda, Steph and Katie all have much faster marathons than you. 

Your best marathon is around 3:04 while they are running down to the low 2:40’s and faster. You look at the women’s team that went to the World Championship in India last year with Sarah Webster, Julia Davies and Melissa Gibson. They’re also all running low 2:40s or just below 2:40s. 

Two questions there. Number one, I’m just looking at that and saying you’ve certainly got a few minutes to knock off your marathon when the time is right to fit in a specific marathon training block. What I’m trying to get to say is that 100k at the elite level has become more of an event that good, competent marathon runners are seeing as a credible challenge. Runners like Belinda , Katie and Steph McCall all running credible times in their first road 100k’s and for the men, Henry and the likes of Dougie Selman and Alex Milne, who are running 2:20 and way below 2:20. 10 years ago, those runners might not have looked at 100k, but now they’re almost embracing it. 

KP Yeah. It’s crazy, isn’t it? It’s quite a big difference from a marathon to a hundred Kilometres.  I forgot to say, I did Cape Town Marathon in October, and I didn’t relax through the whole thing. I think with a marathon, it takes me about a marathon distance to get into the race, and I found that at Barry in March. I got to 20 miles, and then I started to relax and really enjoyed the second half. So who knows? Maybe I’ll try and sneak one in, in training for Albi 24 hours, and just see what happens.

AS. Number 2.  I’m sure there are coaches and other observers of the scene like myself looking at this and comparing that England team and thinking, the bulk of the team were good marathon runners moving up in distance, whereas you’ve done 24 hours and you’ve done Grand Union Canal. You’re actually moving down in distance to go to 100k. Yet you still did pretty well and still maybe figuring out what your best distance could be?

KP.Thank you. Thank you.

What’s Next for Kelsey?

AS. Looking ahead, as you mentioned, just before the Anglo-Celtic Plate, you were selected for the Great Britain 24-hour team. Congratulations.

KP.Thank you so much. Thank you.

AS. It’s a very strong team.

 KP. The team looks amazing, with so much experience. 

I’m looking forward to meeting the other women and the men on the team that I haven’t met yet. 

AS. Looking ahead, how will you build towards October now? Will you have any races planned as stepping stones, or just get your head down, when the time is right, and you’ve recovered from this, and just get a good 12-16 weeks of training in?

KP. I wish I knew the answer to that, but I think over these next couple of weeks, I’m going to have a think and a chat with my coaches on what the best plan is. I think there’s always a sweet spot, isn’t there, with the training of how many weeks to build up to an A race. Probably over 16 weeks is maybe a bit long, but then it’s kind of how you keep things ticking over most optimally between now and then. I think I’ve got to think about what that looks like.

 Maybe a bit longer weekly mileage compared to the Anglo-Celtic plate. I’m pretty sure it will be. I don’t know, but I’m excited about that new unknown. 

AS. I would say don’t change too much. You’re doing something right.

I think you’ve got to trust what you know already about yourself and go with that to a great extent.

KP.Thank you. Thank you.

 AS. After the 24-hour championship in Albi, where I’m sure you will do well, do you have any bucket list races on a list?

 You also mentioned possibly going back to run on the trails.

 KP. I would love to do Spartathlon and Comrades. Those two are on my absolute bucket list. Western States, hopefully at some point, but I think that’s in the far future, and it’s so hard to get into anyway. I would also love to do Spartathlon. I’m getting married early next year.

AS. Congratulations.

KP.Thanks.It will also be nice to run Albi and then soak that up and then hopefully do something after that.

AS. You mentioned your early race was in Snowdonia, which can be quite technical. Do any of the more technical European races appeal to you at all?

 KP. I would absolutely love to do UTMB at some point. My dad did it, and I crewed him, following him around the race when he did it, and the atmosphere was just incredible. 

 It’s probably a question of when, as it would take a whole new level and type of training for me to get onto the trails. I’m not terrible on the uphill, but I am terrible on the downhill. I’m just very nervous, so there’d be a lot to learn there, and my navigation is not fantastic. 

AS. Many European trail races you shouldn’t have to worry about as they’re all very well marked. It’s only when you come to the North of England or Scotland and do some of the classic fell races where you have to follow your nose, read the hills well, and be ready to get your map and compass out.

 What Motivates Kelsey?

AS. To finish up, I’m always very keen, and this is one reason I got involved in helping runners, with what actually motivates them.

 You seem like you’re fairly relaxed in some ways about your running, but I’m thinking in the 100k, you probably had at least one or two points when everything got a bit interesting or it was difficult. How do you cope with a race when things get challenging? Do you have any strategies, or are you just trying to be in the moment and go with it?

KP. Good question. I think in terms of strategies when things get hard, I think I’ll try and have a bit of a conversation with myself just to slow my brain down. If that means slowing down for a tiny bit, then that’s fine. I think running gives me this kind of perfect balance of just calmness, but also energy and endorphins. I think when you talk about “The Why?” For me, it’s definitely the freedom running gives you, but also the calmness and finding the equilibrium between that. I think when you’re in races, and you’re on the edge, then you can go off that balance a little bit, so it’s, “What do I need to do to reset and find that equilibrium” Whether that’s finding a person to run with for a mile or two to help reset myself and regulate myself again, or go a bit slower, or just say to yourself in a lap race for example, “one more lap”. I said that so many times in the 100k, and I had this massive cheer squad of family, which I was so grateful for because it was a home run. It was quite local for people to come and support. So, just having them there was fun. I would get to them, and then they were cheering, and I was like, “Right, I can do one more lap now.” That seemed to happen again and again, and the end just got closer. I think there’s a point in a race, probably the third quarter, where it’s really hard because you’ve run a long way, but you’ve still got a long way to go. So once that’s out of the way, you can think about the finish then, can’t you? So that in itself, I think, brings a level of calm, which is nice.

 But it was a hard race. I was on the edge the whole time.

 AS. Tangentially, I was reading an article about a 1500m runner recently, and they identified that the third lap was the hardest for much the same reasons

KP. No way! So it’s obviously a mindset or a reality relative to all distances. 

AS.Exactly. It’s just you’ve done the easing into the race, you’ve gotten to your rhythm, and then it’s just a case of, “Do I commit or do I follow the pace or what do I do?” Obviously, in an ultra, the pacing and length of time are different, but that little third phase seems almost a little netherworld for any distance. 

AS Ok. I am going to let you go and enjoy Sardinia now.

KP.Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to it. The sun’s just coming out. It’s been so nice to actually speak to you because I’ve seen you on Instagram, and I saw you while I was running around Mallory Park. But I didn’t have a chance to say hello properly.

AS, No, you wouldn’t…….you were going too fast!

It was fascinating chatting to Kelsey and just feeling her genuine freshness and enthusiasm. She seems to be embracing finding out more about herself, and finding the work/life/training balance as much as discovering where her running capability will take her. We look forward to seeing her compete in the Great Britain & Northern Ireland  at the IAU World Championships, at Albi, France, in October.
