Ethan and I sit down with Ellie to hear all about how she overcame major injury last year, to win the biggest ultra marathon in the world this year. We get deep into her incredible Comrades victory and Ethan nearly books himself a ticket for 2015.

Naturally, we also talk about haggis, lollies, ice hockey, and what’s on her calendar for the rest of the year.  Hint hint: It’s booked.
