This is part two of my conversation with Nikki Love and her remarkable journey across Australia, spanning from Perth to Sydney, began on May 1st, 2023, at the scenic shores of Cottesloe Beach. Over the course of 76 days, 3 hours, and 43 minutes, she traversed the vast expanse of the continent, culminating her adventure at the iconic Bondi Beach. In her quest for a Guinness World Record, Nikki braved the rugged terrain and unpredictable conditions that define the Australian landscape.

Setting out to achieve a feat unprecedented by any woman before her, Nikki aimed to establish a new standard for endurance. Her route, totaling nearly 4000km, posed a formidable challenge, especially considering the perils inherent in crossing Australia's wild expanses. The desolate stretches of the Eyre Highway, spanning 1650km through the desert, presented a daunting obstacle. With roadhouses spaced 200 to 250km apart and no other amenities in between, Nikki and her team faced the daunting task of ensuring they had sufficient supplies and equipment to endure the arduous journey.

Welcome to part one of my podcast interview with ultrarunning adventurer Nikki Love, where we delve into her incredible journey across Australia. On May 1st, 2023, Nikki embarked on a monumental 4000km run from Perth to Sydney, a feat that tested her endurance and resolve.

Nikki initially aimed to cover 60km each day, aiming to surpass the men's record. However, the reality of the terrain and conditions proved more demanding than anticipated. Battling warmer weather, bustling traffic, and physical strain, Nikki found herself behind schedule within the first few days. Despite the setbacks, she persisted, pushing through the pain and adjusting her expectations along the way.

But what does it take to get to the start line? In Nikki's case is was 10 years in the planning, a lot of training, injury, dissapointment and sacrifice. In this podcast you'll hear what it takes and the commitment involved.

Join us as Nikki recounts the highs and lows of her epic adventure, offering profound insights into the power of perseverance and the joy of realizing a dream.

In the second part of our conversation, Nikki shares insights into her distance goals, the challenges she faced on the road, and the triumphant culmination of her journey. So stay tuned!
