Lucy is not only an Oncologist working in a busy NHS hospital, but she is also a super athlete – being a fourteen times Ironman champion. On retirement in 2018 she didn’t hang up her running shoes like most people, but instead continued racing in Ultra, Extreme events. She is also the co-found of charity / community based initiative ‘5k your way, Move Against Cancer’.
In this chat we cover a range of topics including how Lucy’s career as an Oncologist has helped to drive her athletic career, what motivates her to embark on extreme challenges (including the most recent ‘The Spine Race’ – which is a non-stop 268mile ultra race along the Pennine Way with 13,300m climbing in extreme conditions of snow and blizzards) and her passion regarding the importance of exercise in cancer.
