Charlotte Mountford - ADHD & Autism in Ultra Running #243

This week we’re catching up with Charlotte Mountford. We first met Charlotte on a frosty Tea & Trails Ultra recce, she later reached out to see if we’d be up for a chat about neurodivergence in ultra running, and of course we said yes.

Charlotte has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism, so we dive into the traits, the challenges, and the joys of running as a neurodivergent athlete.
