In this new episode, we welcome Sabrina Verjee, well known for her impressive performances in endurance races in the UK and abroad. After setting the course record in 2022, she raced Tor Des Geants again this year and finished second female. We discuss the race, and what it’s all about for her, exploring what she can do, and the journey through the mountains.

We also discuss the importance of loving and respecting the planet as runners, along with her journey—from being on the sidelines as a kid, with a passion for sports to challenging the expectations and limitations set by others.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

Thrilled to be joined by Charlotte Fisher today. She started running fairly recently, with the goal to run an ultra and raise money for charity in honor of her aunt. Since, she has found her passion and love for long distance trail running. In May, she was one of the 8th women to finish UTS 100miles, a beautiful race, but very challenging with a high DNF rate. We delve into her experience, some of the best and most challenging days of her life, aiming for the finish rather than the podium when it didn’t go her way, meeting people on route, and seeing northern lights. We also discuss imposter syndrome when being such a ‘new’ runner, as well as commitment and life changes that came with running.
