Aoife Mundow has gone from strength to strength since first trying an Ultra Trail Race back in late 2018. Realising that she enjoyed the longer distance and was a natural in the hills she started to take her running a bit more seriously and in 2019 she won six of the ten races that she entered, varying in distance from 50K to 200K. These wins included a course record in the 127km Wicklow Way Race, winning the Connemara 100 Mile, winning the Ecotrail Wicklow and also winning the 200Km Kerry Way Ultra as featured in previous podcasts.

Most recently Aoife has set a new Women's Irish Record for 24 hrs by covering a distance of 231.376Km in the Athens International Ultramarathon festival, Jan 2019.

The previous record of 229.346Km was set by Ruthann Sheahan during the 2012 World Championships in Katowice, Poland.

In this podcast we trace back to Aoife's first race, the Great Ireland Run, a 10K that she finished in 1hr 6mins and we discuss the mindset and belief that has helped her become a world class athlete.
