E177 Sophie: Running with Celiac disease

In August 2020 Sophie was diagnosed with serious anaemia. She was given a couple of iron infusions, which completely transformed things and she went from running 10:30 minute miles to sub-8:30 in the course of a couple of weeks.

Make a public commitment and put a date on the calendar and let’s take on a Spartan Race together! All you need to do is post a video or photo of yourself training for your SpartanRace and use the hashtag #spartantrail tag @spartan and @hilsport55 and I'll DM you the code :D
