Rivka: Your body is made to move

February 29, 2024/ Hilary Spires

Rivka was so much fun to chat to! She started running in her late 50's in 2013, and ran her first half marathon in 2015. She's now completed quite a few road half marathons, a few trail races, and two marathons. She is a mother of five sons, and grandmother to one and one on the way. Rivka is also a birth attendant, attending some births and teaching a birth attendant course. She is also training for her first 50k! We chat about how you have to move your body to stay healthy and strong.

Anushay: Doing hard things is exciting

February 15, 2024/ Hilary Spires

Anushay has always defined herself as an Academic but struggled to call herself an athlete. She moved to Canada from Pakistan and quickly became involved in the trail running community and with a bit of work is now both an athlete and an ultrarunner.

Anushay was inspired to go further and push her body and mind to complete her first 50km last summer. She has an amazing energy and will leave you feeling like doing hard things is exciting.

April 18, 2023/ Hilary Spires

Liz was one of six women to run from Boston to New York 560kilometres / 350 Miles in 11 days - an ultra a day. She was an absolute pleasure to chat with and brings fresh energy to the sport!

"Finishing in the dark, beyond tired, with swollen joints hurts, but I am also quite happy. This experience has been beyond incredible. Diving deep in to the pain cave with my 5 gals has already been an absolute pleasure." - Liz

We get into her epic adventure and how she went from university track to ultras.
