Very happy to welcome Jen Scotney on the podcast today. She is a podcaster, writer, coach, yoga teacher, and mountain leader. She also was a runner and has previously stood on the podium at some of the UK’s toughest ultramarathons, including the 190 mile Northern Traverse race and twice on the 108 winter Montane Spine Challenger. A diagnosis of osteoarthritis that was not related to running, led to two knee replacements, and the end of her running.

Welcome to episode 4! In today’s episode, we have the privilege of hearing from Serena Broadway, ultra runner based in Scotland.

We talk about believing in ourselves and the importance of representation and community. She shares some good memories, running races she had read about and the juggle of training and life while training for them. But above all she talks about the joyful moments such as crossing finish lines with her daughters, and showing them making space for what makes us feel good matters.

It was awesome talking with Serena, and I hope her story will inspire you to lace up your own shoes and find joy in being in nature.
