Listen Later

In this episode, we chat with Scottish ultra-running legend Izzy Cairns (née Knox).

After a two-year wait, Izzy finally joins the podcast to share her incredible journey. She talks about her childhood love for running, from being timed by her auntie to joining her first club in Peebles.

Izzy opens up about a life-altering accident at 21 that doctors said would end her competitive career, and her powerful determination to run again.

We discuss Izzy's progression from 10Ks to marathons and the Dean Karnazes book that sparked her passion for ultra-marathons.

Izzy shares memorable stories from her five Berlin 100-milers, the pride of becoming a Scottish 100K champion, and her plans for a road marathon in Malaga and another 100-miler in Chester.
