In this interview I talked to Chloé Léger and Sophie Power about the recently announced Pregnancy Policy by UTMB.
Chloé Léger is the Regeneration Manager at UTMB Group and she is one the main faces behind the new and innovative policy - https://fr.linkedin.com/in/chloe-helene-leger
Sophie Power is a british ultrarunner - part of the 24h national team. Sophie is also the founder of SheRaces (https://www.sheraces.com/) "a global network of champions, driving change to support female athletes". Sophie was one of the people/groups involved by the UTMB group to help writing the policy, together with the Pro Trail Runners Assosiation (https://trailrunners.run/).
With them we discussed the rational behind the policies, what the policy entails, what will the impact on female participation in ultrarunning will be, and what can be done to increase the number of women in the sport.
