So happy to welcome Siân Longthorpe for this new episode of the podcast. Running has been a constant in her life, on the road and the trails, through different life stages, and more recently the transition to her new life as a woman. She shares more on her journey with us, the initial fears of loosing the community that means a lot to her, and how her relationship with running evolved, becoming an incredible way to process things and be immersed in nature. We talk about how she’s finding new joy in running, and why challenging biased media narratives by sharing different stories is essential, because we’re all human, and trans people belong in running. So grateful for her time and I hope you will enjoy the episode.

This FKT is the result of years building experience, skills, and confidence, and we explore where her sense of adventure comes from, with curiosity as a starting point always.
