ULTRA WOMEN The Book, with Lily Canter & Emma Wilkinson

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️In this episode I speak to authors Lily Canter and Emma Wilkinson.Last month the duo launched their book ULTRA WOMEN, a book all about the history of women's endurance throughout the years. This book reveals the sometimes hidden history of women's sporting achievements and paints the picture of the opposition that women have faced over the years.The book tells the stories of multiple women that have gone above and beyond what has been expected of them by the largely sexist male population. The book shows that women have always been equal to men, if not better when I comes to extended feats of endurance.The book starts with Jasmin Paris crushing the field at the Spine Race and quite rightly finishes with her record breaking run at Barkley. But this isn't another book about Jasmin, it's a tribute to every woman that has achieved greatness in the face of doubt by their peers!A great read and highly recommended! @ultrarunning_sam@hometrails_http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam
