Mimi is a renowned endurance athlete and multiple Guinness world record holder who began running as a mother of three aged 36. Mimi found ultra running and took on some of the biggest and most extreme running challenges in the world, winning and setting many course records. She set two world records for running the length of Britain and Ireland and became known for her ‘double’s: completing an incredibly tough race, crossing the finish, turning around and running back again! Four years ago after an injury stopped her ultra distance running, Mimi moved into endurance cycling and has already cycled across Britain, and the Pacific Coast Highway in the US.
Mimi is very open about how events of her early childhood contributed to her developing an eating disorder. We discuss the stigma around periods as a teenager, the juggles of endurance running and parenthood just what you do when your period arrives mid way through an ultramarathon. As well as Mimi's more recent experiences of sporting achievements post menopause.
