Faye McGinty is joined by Sophie Power, an elite ultra-runner who, whilst famously known for completing the gruelling 106-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) while stopping at aid stations to nurse her three-month-old baby, is also a fierce advocate for structural change. As the founder of SheRaces, she is leading a vital movement demanding that the running industry dismantle its 'one-size-fits-all' approach.

We sit down with Sophie to discuss how gear, race policies, and training schedules must evolve to truly support the unique physical, physiological, and lifestyle realities of the female body.
