Break the Bias with Vera Ngosi-Sambrook

Break the Bias with Vera Ngosi-Sambrook

Vera Ngosi-Sambrook grew up in Malawi and moved to the UK to study mechanical engineering. From the very start of her adult life, she has challenged bias in her choice of career.

It was after meeting her husband that she first tried cycling, on a tandem, on the promise of being able to just leisurely cycle.

Five years later, she was awarded a scholarship The Ultra Distance Scholarship, with her own coach to train for the Pan Celtic Race https://www.pancelticrace.com.

From only being able to cycle 50 miles in, Vera had to train to take on a 1200km, self supported bike ride through England, Ireland and Wales. https://www.stayercycles.com/the-ultra-distance-scholarship/

From learning how to ride for long periods of time, how to fix her bike and what to eat, we talked about practicalities along with the psychology of training for an ultra event of this magnitude.

Plus imposter syndrome, building mental resilience and how training and achieving this has helped quieten the self doubt.
