This week, I talk to Kirsten about taking on her first 100km event at Oscars Hut 2 Hut.

We talk about what kind of training she had to do, how she adapted her training based on limited access to similar terrain and what the first day was like.

We also talk a bit about the things that might stop someone from training or entering ultra trail events and what can be done to make it more accessible to people.

You can check her on instagram at @shelovestorun and connect with us through the Operation Move Sisterhood in Run Club

If you would like to join us for Learn to Run we’d love to have you – it starts on Monday!

Podcast: Episode 66 – “Do You Feel Like an Adventure?” – Crewing the 100 Mile Alpine Challenge with Kirsten

· · Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to support someone running 160 kilometres? Kirsten doesn’t wonder, because she did it for Jo recently. You can read all about Jo’s amazing race here.

But in this episode of the podcast Kirsten talks about the other side of the experience. What it’s like to crew for someone, how you can best support them, what you can learn from the experience and how it has helped form her goals as well. And how supporting someone can be just as nerve-wracking and just as fulfilling as running your own race.

It’s a long one, because we aren’t capable of anything else, apparently.
