Episode Synopsis
Heidi’s running mantra is to enjoy the journey, and to live life as the great adventure that it is.
She has a super positive and optimistic outlook on life. We discuss her ultra running journey, including a 100 mile race, lessons learnt and kit advice for various multi stage races including the 2018 Half Marathon des sables Peru which we both took part in.

The plan is to cover 45k over several days, with the aim to get as much elevation, as possible over the set distance. It’s happening between May 7-10 or June 5-7 click the link to find out more.
