From hockey goalkeeper to 100-mile ultra-runner.
This week, Nats joins the podcast to talk about her journey into running, the role fitness has played in shaping her life, and how the support and community found through Curves helped build the confidence to tackle some huge endurance goals.
We dive into her experience at Glenmore 24, the realities of running through the night, dealing with the inevitable low points, race hallucinations, nutrition challenges and why having a clear sense of purpose is essential when things get tough.
A brilliant conversation about discipline, community, stubbornness and discovering what you're truly capable of.

• From hockey to ultra-running
• Life and coaching at Curves
• Training for Glenmore 24
