Stronger together, on and off the dirt- all things Trail Running to Ultramarathons
In our 'Listen and Learn' series we heard from our very own Harriet Gaywood
Having started running in her forties, trail running had become a passion. UK-born and educated Harriet Gaywood has spent more than half of her life living in China working in the field of public relations and raising two children. In 2024 Harriet ran over 1850 km of trail-races and climbed over 90,000 m, (over ten times the height of Everest). Trail-running can be tough and requires perseverance. In her book - Trailing around Asia: Mud, Sweat & Bears, she write about her experience as a trail runner and her journey to qualify for Ultra-Trail Mont Blanc. More importantly, it is a story about achieving goals. Learn how she built up to running ultramarathons, from trail runs.
