Sophie Raworth

Su questo episodio

<p>In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down fellow broadcaster Sophie Raworth. Sophie is one of Britain's most recognisable faces on the BBC news for over thirty years, and someone who has covered some of the most significant moments in modern history and interviewed some of the most important figures of our time. </p><br><p>But this conversation tis around a different subject. Away from the newsroom, Sophie has built another passion entirely. At 40, having done almost no exercise for decades, she decided to run the London Marathon. She collapsed two miles from the finish. She got up and did it again. She has now completed all seven World Marathon Majors, more than twenty marathons and ten ultra-marathons, including the 150-mile Marathon des Sables across the Sahara. Her first book, Running on Air, published by Bloomsbury, tells the story of how running changed her — not just physically but in the ways that actually matter. This is a conversation about resilience, getting things wrong and what it takes to keep going and how MidPoint is often, the perfect time to try something new.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
