Running Across Africa - Ultra-Adventurer Véronique Chats About Long Distance Running Trips

Dec 24, 2020 E28 01:03:22

#028 - 

Here at RaceMob - we’ll occasionally hear about incredible feats.  Sometimes - they just seem too incredible to be real.  Like in episode 17, when we talked to the world record setting Ironman athlete Will Turner.

Well this story is just as incredible - and it comes from someone with so much heart and passion.  Vero had no idea what the impact that a $50 treadmill was going to have on her life.  When she first stepped on that simple machine, and took her first admittedly awkward steps - she had no clue that 13 years later - she’d have completed some of the most grueling ultra distance races in the world.  And in the midst of planning a 13,000 km trek across the continent of Africa to help raise money and awareness for access to clean water.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why a marathon didn’t seem quite enough for this ambitious athlete
  • Her initial struggles and her mindset to finally break through 
  • How she ran across Japan with her daughter biking at her side
  • Why this African trek means so much to her

If you’d like to support Vero’s trek, receive coaching from her, or want to follow her on social media - then you can find all of the show notes online at racemob.com/podcast  and without further ado - here’s our conversation.
