In this episode of the podcast, I caught up with Samantha Gash, an incredible Endurance Athlete, Global Keynote Speaker, Social Impactor, Adventurer, and Co-Founder of Her Trails (a trail running program and community for women).
Samantha was one of the pioneers of the ‘running for change movement’, where people run to raise money for and bring awareness to causes, they’re passionate about.
She has run across India, South Africa, and Nepal, raising millions of dollars for various charities like World Vision and Save The Children.
In 2010, she became the youngest female to complete the Four Desert Grand Slam, a series of four 250 KM ultramarathons across the world's most unforgiving terrain, and in 2012 she ran 379km non-stop across Australia’s Simpson Desert, which took her 3 days, 14 hours and 28 minutes.
We explore the valuable lessons she's learned about perseverance, grit, and pushing beyond one's limits, and we discuss her passion for supporting other women with their running.
Samantha has been an enormous mentor of mine over the past 5 years and was the first person I reached out to when I was starting out on my own ultra-running journey.
I can’t thank Sam enough for her support and I hope you enjoy my conversation with this remarkable woman.
