Sophie’s just broken the overall Fastest Known Time for the Via Alpina. It’s a 2000km route across the Alps and she beat the original FKT by 7 days! Tommy sits down with Sophie to discuss all things ultra, but also so much more. Sophie’s spoken openly about her fertility journey in the last few years, and she’s a great example of someone who brings themselves fully, vulnerably, and completely to the sport.
If you want an honest episode about life, mountains, ultra running, and handling hard things, this is for you!
