How do you prepare for races that last hours and hours? Does sleep deprivation affect you running through the night? Does being a professional trail runner provide a sustainable full-time income?
In this episode we are joined by GB ultra runner, Fi Pascall. Fi runs for Salomon, whilst also working as a strength coach and Pilates instructor, living and training in the stunning Quantock Hills of Somerset. But that’s not all – Fi and her husband, Matt, have just launched Trail Retreats, all inclusive trail running weekends in the heart of nature, just 2 hours from London.
Having always been active, Fi’s journey as a pro ultra runner began with the legendary Bob Graham Round in the Lake District, sparking further curiosity about where she could go with the sport. We delve into what goes into preparing for ultra trail races, what it’s like to be running on no sleep and what it is about trail running that’s attracting everyone to the scene!
