Ten-minute power naps, knee injuries and sheer determination – Sophie Power gives an unflinching account of what it takes to break a multi-day running record. The 41-year-old mum of three is now the fastest woman to have run the length of Ireland, covering the 350 miles in three days, 12 hours and eight minutes. She talks about embracing the possibility of failure and how she hopes to inspire other women.
