About this episode

Heather Anderson interviews Lucy Gossage about her record-setting run on the South West Coast Path.

In this week’s episode, join host Heather Anderson as she chats with our women’s fifth place FKT of 2025, Lucy Gossage. Lucy set a stout new self-supported time on the U.K.’s 630-mile South West Coast Path by completing it in 11 days and 9 hours. Tune in to hear how she handled the challenging logistics of a route that has over a dozen ferries to catch, nightly hotel reservations to make, and tides to time correctly while tackling 40,000 meters of elevation gain in often rainy and sometimes windy conditions.
