Sophie Power

Kate is joined by Faye Johnson, who is filling in for Robin while he files everyone’s tax returns during January. They chat to Sophie Power whose book, The Power Within, released yesterday on 29th January, tells the story of how a single photo pivoted her life from elite ultra runner to a force for change for women everywhere. They discuss her early days, the challenges every woman faces when juggling training, life and family, the inequality that women suffer at so many events and the subsequent founding of SheRaces. Faye is reading Sophie’s book and her review will be out soon. Photo: John O’Regan at IAU World Championships Thanks for tuning in!
