In this episode I chat to Maria Leijerstam - an amazing endurance athlete and mum of 2.
In 2013 Maria was the first person to cycle to the South Pole. She has also cycled across New Zealand and taken part in a number of multi-day adventure races.
We talk about how Maria stayed active during her pregnancies and how soon she got back to fitness afterwards. When her youngest was just over one Maria took part in a 6 day adventure race across Sweden and Norway and her plans for the future include horse riding across the Tien Shan Mountains with her mother and cycle-rowing across the Atlantic.
Maria also runs the Burns Series Adventure Race https://burnseries.co.uk/races/burn/ which allows families of all ages to compete in an adventure race together and as a team. This year's event is on 9 October at Margam Park in Wales.
Thanks for listening. Please subscribe, leave a review and share. Even better - take a screen shot and share it on your social media so we can inspire women and Mums to stay active and to adventure.
