Imo Boddy: An Inspirational Ultra Athlete on Her Journey to a Second World Record


Listen Later

On today’s episode of The Runna Podcast, we welcome Imo Boddy (@imoboddy), an amazing ultra runner who is the current world record holder for being the youngest female to run the length of the UK! 


  • Get insight into the mental fortitude required for such extreme endurance feats as Imo discusses her upcoming world record attempt - to become the youngest/fastest person to run and summit the UK's Three Peaks (Snowdon, Scafell, and Ben Nevis) in under 7 days
  • Imo recounts the gruelling details of her 22-day run across the UK, including hitting a low point where she thought she had a stress fracture and had to walk part of the distance.
  • She shares how she normalised bodily functions like needing frequent bathroom breaks during her ultra challenges, including an embarrassing story of falling over covered in mud after a pit stop!
