003. Jenny Tough - Living up to her Namesake

What better way to round out the trifecta of Atlas Mountain Race podcasts than to bring you the top women’s finisher, Jenny Tough. Jenny @jennytough is an explorer, an endurance athlete and finds meaning by pushing her limits in the mountains. Jenny is no stranger to endurance events and is on a mission to run a mountain range on every populated continent. Jenny has completed runs in Asia, Africa, South America, Oceania and still plans on adventures in Europe and North America. She has also raced her bike in the Silk Road Mountain Race, the Transatlantic Way Race, the Transcontinental Race and of course, the catalyst for this conversation, the Atlas Mountain Race. We chat about Jenny’s AMR experience but also touch on topics like self esteem, gender issues in sport and self identity. This was an inspiring conversation and I hope you enjoy it.
