I’m really excited to be joined by Gemma Hillier-Moses for this new episode. She is a pro ultra runner from the UK who’s made an incredible rise in just three years of trail running. We caught up right after her longest race yet at Chianti Ultra Trail, racing alongside some of the best women trail runners in the world.

We discuss her journey, and the perspective and life changes that came from facing an aggressive cancer at 24 years old. We deep dive into what followed in terms of career, projects and sport, with at the core her passion for the outdoors and helping others. Also the way she talks about backing herself and trusting what feels right at different stages of life really stuck with me.. Hope you enjoy the episode!

She just won TransGrancanaria for the second consecutive year, with her husband also taking the top spot this year.

She shares how much joy she finds in being outdoors and connected to nature, and we chat about the highs and lows of the sport, the wins, navigating injury and REDs and the road back to being the strong athlete she knows she can be. I hope you enjoy the episode!
