Episode 538 - 2026 Delirious Series - Intro - Bluff Knoll, Treadmills & Moroccan Sand: Meet Kylie Bell

From muddy mountain bike rides to midnight treadmill runs after night shift — Kylie Bell brings grit, humour, and heart to every mile she runs.

In this Delirious West 2026 intro episode, we meet Kylie: an Albany-based police officer, remedial massage therapist, and adventure-seeking endurance runner who’s taking on the 100-mile event in 2026.

From her early years in Armadale to paddling adventures with her dad, Kylie’s been wired for movement and challenge since day one. Her racing resume includes epic stage races across Morocco, Hawaii, and the Grand Canyon, plus a DIY “Everest” effort up Bluff Knoll (14 times!) — all squeezed between shift work, business ownership, and life with her fur-baby Noodle 🐾.

🎧 In this episode:
•Why Kylie left triathlon for the trail life (hint: muddy mountain bikers + beer)
•How she trained for ultras while working 10-hour night shifts (and sometimes… running to AND from work!)
•What it’s like being a detective, a runner, and a human who still loves running “for the calm”
•Why her husband says she “ruined running” for him 😂
•Her unique approach to training that involves treadmills, forced events, and “just figuring it out”

Kylie’s take on ultra-running is refreshingly real: it’s not always perfect, but it’s always worth it.
