She Trails Podcast

Very happy to welcome Lydia Oldham to the podcast today. She’s an ultra-runner and since a couple of years has taken on big solo adventure projects, her latest one being a 500km run from London to Cornwall. We talk about her mindset and attitude towards change, and the resilience she built when swimming competitively. We also go into more details on all the things we don’t see when following these big challenges from afar, how she chooses them, everything it takes to make them happen behind the scenes, and what was special in each of them. Hope you enjoy our conversation. Subscribe to "She Trails Podcast" for future episodes, where we dive into women trail runner stories, and get inspired to explore new paths and seek our own adventures, whatever they may be.
