400 Miles for Love | Elsey Davis and the Cornwall FKT

from Notes from Big Trails · host Big Trail Adventures // Rob Savin

What makes someone decide to run 400 miles around the Cornish coast?For Elsey Davis, the answer wasn't simply to chase a Fastest Known Time.After her mum was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's, she found herself looking for a way to channel grief into something positive. The result was an extraordinary six-day journey around the entire Cornish coastline, raising money, raising awareness, and discovering that some adventures change far more than your fitness.In this episode we talk about the planning behind the challenge, how her body coped with six consecutive days of huge mileage, why the inland section proved tougher than the coast, and the emotional finish alongside her mum at Land's End.It's a conversation about resilience, purpose and the remarkable things people can achieve when they have a powerful reason to keep moving.
