Hello beautiful people
On today’s podcast we have the lovely Nikki Wynd. Nikki is a highly respected runner in the ultramarathon community. Starting her running journey in 2005 after the birth of her son, it wasn’t until 2008 when Nikki did the 100km Oxfam trailwalker that she really began to lean into this new area of her life. By 2011, Nikki was awarded the Australian Female Ultra Runner of the Year having broken the course records of 6 out the 7 races that she competed in that year. It’s safe to say Nikki has ran a lot in her time, with some of the most notable achievements being her completing Badwater 135, referred to by many as the world’s toughest footrace, three times, including being the female winner, first Australian female winner and record holder of the over 40 category in 2015, and in 2016 she set an Australian Record running 343km in 48 hours in the Australian 48 hour Track Championships. Nikki currently runs between 180km-200km per week.
What I personally love about this conversation is how Nikki has this beautiful balance between the importance of dedication and commitment, particularly when it comes to training, but also this touch of gentleness and enjoyment that she emphasises is just as significant. You would assume that a woman that has achieved so much, including winning the female category of a world’s toughest footrace, would be made up of grit and grind, but she shares the importance of drawing on positive energy, of placing intention behind a smile and of being motivated by family. It is in this conversation that we get to know Nikki at a deeper level; about how she is all about giving something a crack, putting it all on the line and giving her 100%.
