How do we cope when we can't do the one thing we love? This is a question that really started this podcast and Jen Scotney's journey to delve into resilience.
This week we ask this of Beth Pascall, who is in a very similar position, having to live without running, after an injury in 2021. We talk about how we do or don't cope with not being able to run, what that resilience looks like, and other time's in Beth's life she has been through similar. Thank you to Beth for taking the time to talk about such a difficult time.
Beth is a leading ultrarunner. She has won the 100 mile Western States Run, 268 mile Montane Spine Race, the Spine Challenger, the Highland Fling, and many others. She’s come 4th at UTMB and 2nd at Dragons Back Race. She holds the female Bob Graham Round record, of 14 hours 34 minutes, as well as the record for running Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland. She has run for Great Britain and is supported by Salomon Running and other brands, as well as working as a paediatric doctor.
She has largely been out of running for 18 months, and although she has been out on her bike, recently completing the single stage Atlas Mountain Race, a race over 1300 kilometres, we discover cycling isn't a simple substitute for running.
