Episode 3, Season 4 coming at ya! And we've managed to bag another inspirational guest to catch up with.  We start, as has become customary, with a quick weekly update. How's John's diet going? What are you up to on Saturday 6 November? AND in a  world first a live shwank off (we kid you not!)  Then we're joined by our guest Sophie Mullins, Sophie's running CV speaks for itself. She's repped both Scotland and GB, crowned 2019 by winning the British 100k Championships and competed at the sharp end in some iconic ultra-marathons in the UK and on the continent.    Recently Sophie has made some big changes, moving to Spain as well as launching her new coaching initiative Ultra Potential (see bottom of show notes for exclusive discount).  We enjoy chatting through recent race experiences, revisit Sophie's poignant encounter with the West Highland Way Race, Anglo Celtic Plate antics in Perth, training approaches and Sophie shares some valuable insights into her own training routines and mindset.  We do touch on a few topics we've never been able to discuss before now. First, 'why do womens jeans have tiny pockets?' and secondly, but much more importantly, 'what effect does the menstrual cycle have on training and performance?'.  A conversation that is hardly discussed nor researched, something that many of us guys are ignorant of or afraid to talk about (it's uncomfortable....but it shouldn't be).  We're blessed to have Sophie allow us to open the door to get the conversation started and have some amazing insight into this important topic.  We also hear about Sophie's BIG plans for 2022 as she surges back into full on race mode! The future looks both exciting and adventurous for her and we can't wait to watch her progress back to the very top of her game. Oh and please hang on to the end for this weeks dialect dictionary, it's a belter!

Sophie Mullins (Denude)

Sophie Mullins is an Edinburgh-based and plant-powered software engineer and runner. She was good enough to sit down with me just a few days after the 95-mile West Highland Way Race in June, with an impressive array of bumps and bruises, and tell me the story of some pretty sizeable life challenges she’s been through over the past few years. Sophie has a rare disease called Mastocytosis, where the body’s mast cells (a kind of white blood cell) become too active, increasing the risk of life-threatening allergic reactions through anaphylaxis. Sophie talks about her journey from diagnosis and being told she couldn’t run again to treatment and discovering how she could be active whilst managing the disease – a pretty unprecedented move in the community of sufferers.Since then, Sophie has become Scottish champion at the 100k distance – on punishing road no less – run sub 3 hour marathons and won 5km races outright. But more importantly to Sophie, she’s been able to just keep active and moving in the outdoors and it was so interesting getting an insight into the strength of mind that helped her prove doctors wrong. Enjoy this conversation! It’s about dealing with the unexpected roadblocks life throws at us, self-belief and the huge role of outdoor activity.
