Lily Collyer: Adidas athlete, world record holder, marathon runner.

This week we sit down with runner, creator and women’s coach Lily Collyer, whose fitness journey took off when she moved to Dubai. Over the last four years she’s taken on 24 hours of burpees, a 100K ultra, and multiple marathons — all while fundraising for mental health charities and sharing her story online.


Lily opens up about:

  • The transition from ultras to speed-focused marathon training (“I was humbled… it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done”).
  • What Berlin’s brutal heat taught her about respecting the marathon distance.
  • Running a solo, night-time marathon across Dubai — no music, alone, carrying a gimbal — to show how safe the city is for women (“I was told to go to the darkest places”).
  • Why doing less can sometimes unlock your best performances.
  • The realities of self-belief, discipline and starting small.
  • And… a little hint about what next year’s challenge might look like.


A raw, honest and empowering episode that proves you don’t need to be extraordinary to take on extraordinary things.
