Women Unscripted

British Ultra-Runner Sharon Gayter has come a long way, quite literally, since enduring a difficult childhood that left her socially scarred and lacking confidence to take part in any sport.  Now at the age of 55 she has clocked up too many miles to count with record-breaking performances around world that have fueled her ambition for yet more milestones.  Sharon has gone from bus-driver to university lecturer turning her life around as her world has pivoted around her running career.  She has run over 1,500 races over 30,000 miles and represented her country at Ultra Marathons for 18 years but who’s counting.  Her world records include Land’s End to John O’Groats in England and Mizen Head to Malin Head in Ireland.  Sharon has set three world records at Teeside University running on the treadmill; her 833km in 7 days is still 6km ahead of the men in the 2018 Guinness World Records book. In January 2018 she completed 10 marathons in 10 days on a treadmill and we will hear about her plans this year to break more world records.

This week's show focuses on two riders in different sports; one a young professional show jumper and the other an Adult Amateur Eventer. Kelli Cruciotti won her first major show jumping Grand Prix this past weekend when she partnered her Belgian Warmblood mare Hadja van Orshof to victory in the $204,000 Coca Cola Grand Prix at the Tryon International Equestrian Center.  The conditions were less than idea but the 22 year old from Colorado pulled out all the stops to beat a competitive field and clinch her second win of the week. Chris Stafford spoke to Kelli after she arrived back home to hear what this means to her and how she is establishing her career as a young professional. We also hear from an adult amateur Eventer, Caitlin Henderson, who is a full time nurse practitioner in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Caitlin competes with just one horse, her off the track Thoroughbred Creative Design and recently made her four-star debut at the Bromont CCI4-L event in Canada. We hear how Caitlin has transferred some of her skills from being a soccer player to riding and what she learned when she was being coached in a team sport not least of all her attention to detail in training for an event.

Dr. Juliet McGratten was a General Practioner for 16 years before she decided to hang up her stethoscope and follow her passion, using medical knowledge and experience to improve the health of women through physical activity. She published her first book Sorted: The Active Woman’s Guide to Health in 2017 and won first prize in the Popular Medicine category at the 2018 British Medical Association Medical Book Awards. Juliet is the resident Health Expert for Women’s Running UK magazine and a regular contributor for other publications. She is the Women’s Health Lead and Master Coach for the 261 Fearless global network which was founded by pioneer marathon runner Kathrine Switzer, to empower women to find courage through running. Juliet is the Founder and Director of 261 Fearless Club UK and a founding member and coach of her local clubs 261 Fearless Club Lune Valley and 261 Fearless Club Lancaster.
She worked for three years for Public Health England as the Lead Champion for Physical Activity in the North West of England. And as we will hear she loves to run from 5k to Marathon races. She says; I’m not a fast or a hugely accomplished runner but to me that’s not important. Running and sport in general is all about fun. I want to get as many people up out of their chairs as possible and experiencing the joy and benefits that exercise brings.’
