Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

Fantastic to talk to barefoot runner Anna McNuff - she ran 2,352 miles (90 marathons!) across Britain in 2019. I do have a confession to make in that I rarely enjoy reading books about someone running a long way or conquering some kind of hard as nails running challenge (I'd much rather be out on a run myself!) but I make an exception for Anna's books as they're so well written, engaging and hilarious I can't put them down. This Barefoot Britain run in particular is also much more about one person completing a challenge and so much about inspiring others along the way including the people she ran with and the Brownies and Girl Guides she gave talks to. I love her zest for life, made up words, beautiful descriptions and honesty about situations and feelings that come with a huge challenge like this. I'm a massive fan, and I hope you enjoy her book as much as I did - link below! Barefoot Britain book by Anna McNuffhttps://amzn.to/3GBbjKH The Pants of Perspective book by Anna McNuff about running the length of New Zealandhttps://amzn.to/3IiqHwE My book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook https://amzn.to/3jgKvTyPlease like and subscribe here on YouTube https://linktr.ee/ClaireWGRFollow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/Support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunningMeet me at Nene Valley trail races https://nenevalleyraces.wordpress.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Nick Knight joins us again for an enlightening chat with Q&A about getting older as runners (I'm 40 in Feb and feeling exhausted!) - what can we do to recover quicker and protect ourselves from common age-related running issues like osteoarthritis, and how can we come to terms with never again reaching PB's from previous years?

Delighted to chat to Sophie! Sophie Power - She.Races founder, spearheading women's equality in trail racing after she had to make the decision to breastfeed her 3 month old at checkpoints on the UTMB 2018 or face losing out on a race that didn't allow deferrals for pregnancy and birth. Originally on YouTube here https://youtu.be/hArsJq5-5yY Super excited to chat with Sophie as she has long been a hero of mine. How on earth she was fit enough to run 100 miles around the French, Italian and Swiss mountainside 3 months after giving birth to her second child is absolutely beyond me as I could only run for 5-10k 6 months after Finny was born and I'm only now up to half marathons and he's 2 in January!  How did she find the time and more importantly how was she not just totally knackered? Sophie has 3 kids now so it will be super interesting to find out how she juggles her time between work and play.  I'll make this into a podcast soon after, search Sophie Power Wild Ginger Running in your usual podcast provider and enjoy our chat on your next run! More women's running films on WGRhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyZ16LRfpz0AY3Q2oCeRO27OkI6XpTLrX Pregnancy and baby running filmshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyZ16LRfpz0CHTR_kibrN2WOiBAQUvAL2 My book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook https://amzn.to/3jgKvTyPlease like and subscribe here on YouTube https://linktr.ee/ClaireWGRFollow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/Support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunningMeet me at Nene Valley trail races https://nenevalleyraces.wordpress.com/ Hosted on Acast.
