Show Notes

Lisa Richards earlier this year completed a multi-year dream of running in the Atacama Stage Race. An incredible 250 kilometre journey that takes place in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

But, not only did Lisa run in the stage race, she finished as the fifth female, completing an incredible transformation, from someone who grew up avoiding school athletic's carnival, and only took up running in 2018 through parkrun, to becoming a finisher of one of the world's toughest stage races.

In this podcast Lisa talks about her incredible journey, and in my opinion it will leave you putting a world class stage race on their running bucket list.
