In this episode of the Tribe of Runners podcast, host Liz Myers chats with ultra runner Lucja Leonard to explore her inspiring journey into the world of endurance running. From starting out as a way to lose weight before her wedding to tackling some of the toughest races in the world, Lucja shares the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way.
Lucja opens up about her first ultra, the grueling Kalahari Extreme Marathon in South Africa, her training strategies that include back-to-back long runs, and we dive into her experience with the 220-mile Race Across Scotland.
She also dives into the critical roles of nutrition, sleep, and mindset in ultra running, along with the unforgettable (and sometimes hilarious) hallucinations that come during long efforts.
Thank you so much Lucja for being on the podcast and sharing your story.
