Sophie Power is a campaigner and a GB ultra athlete. Sophie recently broke the female World Record for running the length of Ireland, which she did in 3 days, 12 hours and 8 minutes. In this conversation we talk about the highs and lows of going through this experience, what she was hoping to achieve and support received along the way.
Sophie also founded the campaign, SheRACES, with a goal to educate races to be more inclusive to female athletes. One of the drivers for change came after a photo of Sophie went viral at UTMB of her breastfeeding her 3 month old baby, as she wasn't able to defer her place when she was pregnant. As a mum of 3, Sophie shares her experience of balancing running with motherhood and barriers women face in the running world.
