Interview with Maree Connor - An Epic 246 km Spartathlon Journey

I am thrilled to have Maree Connor on the podcast for the second time. Maree recently returned from running the iconic Spartathlon Ultramarathon - a 246km journey from Athens to Sparta along the route run by Pheidippides, an ancient Athenian long distance runner, who in 490 BC, before the battle of Marathon, was sent to Sparta to seek help in the war between the Greeks and the Persians.

Maree has achieved so much in this sport in such a few short years, and has established herself as one of Australia’s best ultramarathon runners. A 2 x time Australian representative, Maree has a long list of achievements including 2 x wins at the Brisbane Trail Ultra 100 miler, 2 x wins at Coast to Kosciusko 240km, 3rd place Badwater 135 mile (including being the 10th faster female ever to finish Badwater) and so much more.
