Listen "Running 961km - Olga Stignii's Story of Her Epic Run for Ukraine"
Episode Synopsis
What do you do in the face of watching terrible atrocities occur in your home country when you are thousands of miles away?
For Olga Stignii, she turned to the one thing that has given her strength and purpose throughout her life: running
Last year, to mark 31 years of Ukrainian independence and highlight the ongoing war, Olga challenged herself to run 31 kilometres every day, 31 days in a row. Each day she dedicated to a different region of Ukraine that had been affected by the war. She called it 31 for 31, ran a total of 961km in one month.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine last year, Olga has spent so much of her time and energy championing the voices and stories of Ukraine here in the UK. And our conversation is a reminder that behind every headline, is a human story.
In this episode we discuss Olga’s journey into fitness from being a partying, smoking, fashion designer, to now being an incredibly athletic personal trainer. We also discuss how the war in Ukraine has personally affected Olga and she shares her story of bringing her family over to the UK.
This is a conversation about resilience, taking action to create positive change, and the importance of having the support of people and communities around you.
