Michelle and Sophie chat about:

- Sophie's World Record breaking 48 hour treadmill run at the National Running Show and how she's contributing to scientific research on female athletes.
- Her first experiences of ultra running

- How a viral picture of her breastfeeding at the 106-mile UTMB led to her campaigning about inclusivity for female athletes.

- How race directors can make their events more inclusive for women.

- How male runners can be female allies on the trails

The SheRACES female-only 25k and 50k trail race in the Peak District is happening on 2nd August 2025
