Today I am speaking with Sophie Power, a mum of 3 most known for breastfeeding my 3 month old baby during the 106 mile UTMB ultramarathon in the Alps, (you may be familiar with the photo). She also represents Great Britain on the 24 hour running team. Sophie also founded SheRACES, a campaign for equality for women in racing, including deferrals for pregnancy.

We talk about:

-pregnancies and postpartum recoveries all being different

-running with a prolapse

-running faster in her 40s and after third baby

-asking for help to train and race

-female-friendly policies in racing

-that photo that started it al

-founding SheRACES
