In this inspiring episode of the Bee Sober Podcast, Lisa and Alex sit down with the incredible Dr. Angela White, also known as The Running Granny.
Dr. Angela White, widely known as The Running Granny, is a retired doctor, surgeon with a special interest in hip fracture, and qualified personal trainer with a deep passion for healthy ageing and the power of movement to transform lives. With a career spanning medicine, surgery, fitness, and technology, she combines medical expertise, lived experience, and relentless curiosity to inspire individuals and professionals alike to take action for lifelong health.
Angela’s journey into running began at the age of 53, in 2012, when she took her own "small steps" to improve her health after years of being overworked, overweight, unfit, and unhappy. At the same time she started running, she was introduced to endurance and ultra-running, and she became fascinated by what the human body can achieve when challenged. Since then, she has completed a range of extreme endurance events, including 100-mile races, 24-hour challenges, 190-mile coast-to-coast ultras and various mountain challenges. In 2024 she represented Great Britain in the European Multisport Championships bringing home two age-group bronze medals in duathlon and half ironman distance triathlon. Most recently, in January, she completed the gruelling Spine Challenger North, 160 miles along the Pennine Way in winter.
We were so captivated by her story that we ended up chatting with Angela for over an hour after the podcast ended too—she has that much more to offer! Her journey is a true testament to perseverance, determination, and the power of pushing beyond limits, no matter your age.
If you’re looking for motivation and inspiration, this episode is a must-listen!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
