Today’s Guest is 32 year old Sanna Duthie.
Sanna is a runner and ultra runner from Pembrokeshire, she ran her first race 14 years ago - and has since then completed Marathons, placed 1st Female in the Llanelli Marathon in 20, and has ventured into the field of ultra running, and has raced the Pembrokeshire 100 miler twice,
And The Endurance life in the Gower where she placed third.
Most recently, Sanna completed the whole of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park - in one go, becoming the second person ever to complete the full path in one go (non-stop). Not only did Sanna complete this, she also knocked off the former record - by almost 13 hours, running the 186 coastal path miles in just 51 hours and raising nearly £4,000 for the Wales Air Ambulance.
Sanna shares her story with us Today; what drew her to running - why she runs and how it impacts her life, and what inspired her to run the 186 miles of Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks to raise money.
What amazes me about Sanna, her training and accomplishments is that she balances her ultra training around full time work, and she does not skip on her additional components of her training; she regularly trains at the gym, completing her strength and conditioning exercises and mobility, balancing both the gym, running, and training on the coastal path. Sanna also writes her own training plan, essentially coaching herself through her ultra training and events - which to me is fascinating., Wanna is incredibly motivated, and committed to her training, and her determination and resilience in pursuing a goal, and overcoming obstacles is truly inspiring. I hope you enjoy this episode Today - as ever if you are listening please take a screen shot - share this episode online with others, so they too can feel inpsired by Sanna’s Story Today.
