In this episode of Studmarks, we sit down with Carol Morgan for a raw and honest conversation about what it really means to keep going when things don’t come easy.

Carol shares her journey into fell running and the defining role persistence has played along the way. Her story is one of grit and refusal to quit — nowhere more evident than in her multiple attempts at the Bob Graham Round. What stands out isn’t just the achievement, but the mindset behind it: a stubbornness that, in her case, becomes a superpower.

We also widen the lens to explore the female experience in endurance sport. Carol speaks openly about the realities of training through different life stages — from the impact of periods to navigating the menopause — and how these factors are still too often overlooked in performance conversations. It’s an honest, necessary discussion about resilience, adaptation, and the quiet determination to not feel like an outlier in a space that hasn’t always made room.
