Ultra Marathons with Mimi Anderson - The Inspirational Fitness Show

This week on the Inspirational Fitness Show, I am in conversation with Mimi Anderson.    Mimi is one of the world’s most inspirational distance runners, having made an incredible journey from stay-at-home mum of three to multiple Guinness World Record Holder.  The list of achievements that Mimi has accomplished is endless but here is a taste of some of the incredible races and running challenges that she has completed.   353 miles non stop across the Arctic for the 6633 ultra where she was the overall winner and course record holder.   She ran the gruelling distance from John O’Groats to Lands End – 840 miles across Britain which she completed in a Guiness World Record time of 12 days 15 hours and 46 mins.   Double Comrades in South Africa  Namibian Desert Challenge where she was the overall winner of the 220km race   Double Badwater – 292 miles across the most extreme heat and altitude   The Spartathlon – 153 miles from Athens to Sparta – also achieving the double by running the return leg  345 miles from the North to the South of the island of Ireland   And of course the toughest footrace in the world the Marathon des Sables which she entered just one year after she decided to take up running.   Not content with these races she has also organised her own adventures including 300 odd miles from Paris to London, 1,223 miles across South Africa, and an epic run to attempt to break the female world record to run across America a distance of 2,852 miles. This challenge was brought to an abrupt end due to an injury after running and incredible 2, 217.2 miles in 40 days, on track to smash the record.   Mimi sets the standard for resilience, drive, determination and a desire to overcome adversity and aim to massively over achieve.

The Falklands Ultra Marathon with Andy Hodgson - The Inspirational Fitness Show

This week on the Inspirational Fitness Show, I am in conversation with Andy Hodgson.    Andy is the Co-founder and Director of the Falklands Ultra Marathon. Now for those of you watching or listening to the show who are British will immediately know where the Falkland Islands are and their significance to every single British citizen.   For those of you a little farther afield that don’t know, the Falkland Islands are in the South Atlantic near the bottom of South America that if you get in a boat and head south the next land mass you come across is Antarctica.   The big significance is that in 1982 there was the Falklands conflict that took place after the military junta in Argentina invaded the islands and the British sent a task force all the way to the South Atlantic to liberate the islands and the people on it.   The inaugural race is in March 2022 and will be a 100 miles from Goose Green to Stanley via San Carlos, Mount Kent, Wireless Ridge and Tumbledown. All names that evoke powerful memories for so many of us.
