Ep36: Imo Boddy - The Power of Self Belief

This week we’re joined by 24 year old World Record Holder, Imo Boddy, just a few weeks after finishing her mind blowing 3 Peaks challenge. On 21st May, Imo dipped into the Welsh sea after running 680km and climbing over 10,000m of elevation in just 6 days 5 hours and 43 minutes, breaking a 45 year old record for the fastest female to run the UK Three Peaks in the process. Despite being just 24, Imo is no stranger to ultra challenges and also holds the record for the youngest female to have run the length of the UK, from John O’Groats to Lands End.

We find out what Imo’s prep for the challenge looked like, how she got through the toughest moments and how she recovered after pushing her body to its limits. We also hear about the importance of a supportive team and the power of believing in yourself.
