Episode 12 - Veronika Vadovicova - Trail running

Send us Fan MailIn this episode Cindy Jourdain, our former professional ballerina & Joint Dynamics movement specialist talks to Veronika Vadovicova about how she started competing in triathlon for fun with her friends in Shanghai before falling in love with trail running and the steep mountain peaks in Hong Kong. Veronika is currently ranked top 50 in the international Trail Running Association ranking of female trail runners globally. In 2019 she won the title of Asia Trail Master Championship with six victories out of six different races alongside of Ultimate Tsaigu and Hayden Hawks. In 2020 she joined the Ultra Trail World Tour and came 2nd in the Hong Kong Vibram 100. Shortly after her move to Hong Kong she created Asia Trail Girls, a female focused running community that encourages women in Asia to join the sport of trail running and grow women's participation in this sport. Cindy and Veronika discuss the intricacy between the natural gift of an athlete and the error they sometimes ended up making which in Veronika's case cost her a severe injury.
