9. Into the Mountains with Keri Wallace from Girls on Hills

The Endure Stronger Podcast

This week on the Endure Stronger podcast, we interview Keri Wallace, the co-founder of Girls on Hills, and a climber, mountain guide and sky and fell runner.

Keri loves the mountains. She’s taken on some mind-blowing running challenges such as running for 10 days non-stop in an attempt to tick off the Bob Graham, Paddy Buckley and Charlie Ramsay rounds in one single go. (If you don’t know what that means, look it up. Like we said. Mind-blowing.)

In our interview with Keri, we discuss:

• The origin story of Girls on Hills, Keri’s female-only guided trail running and navigation company based in Glencoe, Scotland
• The difference between sky, fell, mountain and trail running
• How Keri drew inspiration from a tragic incident on one of her first mountain runs to forge a safer path for everyone in fell running, especially women
• Why you shouldn’t be scared of going off the beaten track and hitting the trails, and
• How going into the wilderness has helped Keri avoid injury (and it may help you avoid it too)

The best part of this interview? Keri dropping some serious knowledge bombs on how navigate your training and mindset whilst being a parent. Not to be missed.

We loved catching up with Keri and were super inspired by her achievements, confidence, and can-do spirit, and we’re definitely heading to Scotland to go for a run with her soon.
