Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️

In this episode I speak to Laura Swanton Rouvelin, who is returning to this years Spine Race.

Laura has had mixed success at the Spine over the years, from a DNF due to back pain, to returning only to have the same back issues, but gutting out the rest of the race to finish. 
She then came back in the summer of 2023 to land on the podium in 2nd place and 7th overall for Britains Most Brutal race.
This time she takes on the winter race hoping to better her previous performances.

We talk about her approach to training and how that's changed over the years under the watchful eye of her coach - Kim Collison. We talk about the steps she's taken to strengthen her back in preparation for carrying the infamous "Spine Pack"

We talk a lot about how she juggles work, parenting, running and her favourite hobby, horse riding!

We talk about everything that the Spine throws at you, from spectacular views, to destroyed feet and everything in between!

This was a great chat and I'm really excited to see how she gets on next week!
