Clare Elms: The Mum of Triplets Who Became a World Record-Breaking Runner at 45


Listen Later

What if your greatest athletic achievements came after having triplets? This week on the Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Clare Elms, a multi-time world record holder and one of the most dominant Masters runners of all time.


Despite discovering her talent later in life, Clare has gone on to:

🏆 Win five European indoor gold medals and multiple world records.

⏱️ Break the W60 Mile World Record with an incredible 5:26.13.

🇬🇧 Set 14 UK age-group records

🏃‍♀️ Dominate ParkRun—she’s been the fastest female finisher in all 158 ParkRuns she’s done!


In this episode, we talk about:

👟 Winning races at 45+ and staying at the top of her game.

🥑 Why she eats avocado with every meal.

👩‍👧 The joy of training and racing with her daughter.

🆕 How new shoe technology has given her a second wind.

💪 The mindset behind "slowing down the getting slower.”


Clare’s story is a powerful reminder that age doesn’t define your potential—it’s all about mindset, training smart, and loving the sport.
