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.  More from her @anushaymalik If you'd like a backlog of episodes - check us out here:  Patreon Follow the new pod insta @trailrunningwomenpod !! 50Km Training Plan Details - https://ruggedconditioning.com/pre-made-50km-training-plan
