British ultra runner Imogen joins the podcast to share her incredible journey from team sports in Yorkshire to breaking records in some of the world's toughest endurance events.

We dive into her 77-hour Speed Project record from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, running John O'Groats to Land's End, completing the National Three Peaks the hard way, and the mindset required to keep moving when your body wants to stop.
