Welcome back to the What The Fartlek Podcast, in this episode we have the amazing Fiona Oakes (Rob is just a little excited!) @oakes.fiona on Instagram about how her journey into running from a young age. Despite losing a knee cap at the age of 17 she has ran 4 world records, completed the Marathon Des Sables and ran a 2:38 marathon all in the aid of her sanctuary which she runs. In this incredible chat we find out just how she juggles it all whilst promoting veganism.
