In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Carter, an ultra runner, coach, and mom of five who made headlines for running a 100km ultra while pregnant. Sophie has also co-authored a paper on endurance running during pregnancy, adding valuable insight to a growing body of research that challenges traditional views on what’s possible for women in sport. As a coach, she’s passionate about supporting other women in finding strength, balance, and confidence through movement—no matter what stage of life they’re in.
We talk about:
-listening to your body
-exercise during pregnancy
-twin pregnancy and birth
-running as an outlet
-pregnancy loss & recovery
-participating in research
-the importance of strength training
