When I first came across a doco about Lucy Bartholomew running 231 kilometres in 54 hours on the Larapinta Trail solo, I thought, I need to talk to this woman! Lucy is an ultra-runner and an incredible human and I'm so happy to share our chat with you. From facing early controversy in the sport to tackling some of the world's toughest races, and rebuilding after a downfall, Lucy shares what keeps her going. 

She shares how her mindset around competition has evolved, why she now focuses on personal growth over podiums, and how her menstrual cycle became a green light for her in training.


More about Lucy...

She started running alongside her dad as a teenager and over the years, she has carved out her own path.
