I’m really happy to welcome Katja Takala to the podcast: a mum, ultra-runner, Ironwoman, and entrepreneur. Growing up in Finland, being active outdoors was simply a way of life, and running has been part of hers since childhood. We talk about how that relationship with running has evolved through different life stages, and how it also was the foundation for building her business, Stolt Running. We dive into the importance of stepping back and looking at the bigger picture, being intentional with what we do and how we live. From training when we can to navigating social media in a world of content fatigue, to staying competitive with ourselves, to expanding the running space beyond just products..Katja is helping to shape the future of the sport both as an athlete and an entrepreneur, creating more opportunities for others to take part in meaningful ways and I can’t wait for you to hear her insights.

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!

So excited to welcome Henriette Albon for this new episode, an amazing mountain runner based in Norway. She just won TransGrancanaria for the second consecutive year, with her husband also taking the top spot this year. We dive into what it takes to perform at that level, the discipline behind the scenes, and the big life decisions that came with going all-in on the athlete lifestyle & building a business.

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!
