Jacky and Pete sit down with Bev Clifford — an angler, ultra-runner, and true force of nature. Bev shares her remarkable journey from navigating teenage pregnancy, addiction, and the chaos of youth to becoming a voice for women in both the angling and endurance communities.
Growing up in the family business, Bev made her mark in the male-dominated fishing industry before discovering running as her ultimate outlet. What began with a 5k has now led her to one of the toughest ultra races on earth — The Spine Race. She opens up about her emotional decision to withdraw at mile 180 during the brutal winter edition due to injury, and how she’s now focused on coming back stronger for the summer race.
More than just an athlete, Bev is a fierce advocate for women pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones, challenging stereotypes, and finding their power in what she describes as 'very male dominated'. This episode is a raw and honest conversation about healing, growth, and why failure isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.
