LOUISE GODDARD | From a Life of Debauchery, to a Life of Ultra Discipline!

Get in touch with Ultrarunning Sam here ⬅️

Louise returns to the Home Trails podcast for her second appearance. 

The first was as part of a short format Spine Race preview episode, so we didn't dive too much into her life story. In this episode we go right back to her early days, especially her wild days back at uni in Manchester, when she was fully immersed in the early 90's rave scene. 

She talks about going to the legendary Hacienda club in Manchester, how she help Madonna to shimmy over a wall to escape the venue and how she raved until the sun came up at every opportunity.

Louise now channels her addictive personality into endurance sports. Where she's competed at road races, masters marathon, won silver medal at duathlon and more recently has dominated ultramarathons, including our favourite race, the Spine.

Louise is also a coach, so we talk about her coaching methods to prepare for ultras, including some very specific work in tough conditions!

Louise is a real character and was a pleasure to interview!
