Episode Details

On today's show we are running wth Camille Herron, a celebrated ultramarathon champion. We cover a lot and we do so in five instalments due to bad internet!

We discuss the evolution of her career and the broader sport of long-distance running. Herron details her transition from marathon racing to breaking world records in ultra-endurance events, highlighting a pivotal 100K win that redirected her professional path. We explore the increased commercialization of running, where Herron explains how she helped establish modern contract standards for professional athletes. She also addresses the need for standardized regulations and ethical oversight within the trail running community to ensure fairness as the sport grows. 

Furthermore, Herron shares personal insights into her resilience following severe injuries and how her neurodiversity influences her analytical approach to competition. We finish off with our Running Scared and rapid fire questions.
