She shares more about this race experience and her recent journey rebuilding from injury, cycling to Zegama and Andorra to build up to the race.We explore the importance of doing things in a way that works for you outside of external noises, and finding your place in the sport, remembering why you are in it, and why you want to stay in it for a long time.

So happy to welcome Lianne van Dijk to the podcast today. This summer she tackled the Dragon’s Back Race, a 380 km, six-day ultra-running challenge across the spine of Wales. In her first ever stage race, and her first race in Wales, she finished 3rd woman and 10th overall.We dive into what the experience was really like, the highs, the lows, what she learned by trying something completely different, and how she’s redefining her relationship with running. We also talk about the expectations we put on ourselves, why running is such an honest sport, and the importance of not comparing ourselves to others, both in running and in life. Hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed this conversation.

Today I am very happy to share my conversation with the awesome Anna Troup. We recorded this episode after her Summer Spine journey, 268 miles along the Pennine Way, where she won the race outright. Endurance athlete since she was young, she tells us more about why she started and loves ultra-running and how it evolved with the years, alongside the different stages of her life as a mum and professional. We also talk and reflect on experience and aging as an athlete, injury recovery, and the importance of running your own race. I felt in this conversation, a lot of what we talk about applies to life, and I hope you will enjoy this episode :)Subscribe to "She Trails Podcast" for future episodes, where we dive into women trail runner stories, and get inspired to explore new paths and seek our own adventures, whatever they may be.

This is a special episode, and the first one of a mini series of 3 episodes, following Rebecca Devereux on her way towards OCC at the end of Summer in Chamonix. I love the way she shares her running and training journey on instagram, and I was so excited when she said yes to create this series of episodes together. In the first episode we focus on her why behind taking part in this iconic race, the motivation and what has been instrumental in her running journey. Subscribe to "She Trails Podcast" for future episodes, where we dive into women trail runner stories, and get inspired to explore new paths and seek our own adventures, whatever they may be.
