Taking Big Leaps Through Small Steps with Angela White aka The Running Granny (125)

Seasoned Athlete

Today I’m excited to welcome Angela White aka The Running Granny to the Seasoned Athlete Podcast. Angela started running at the age of 53 as part of a series of ‘small steps’ she took to improve her health and quality of life. A friend then introduced her to the world of ultra running and she became fascinated with what the human body can achieve when asked.

Since then she has completed events of varying distances including 50 miles, a 100 mile race and the 190 mile Northern Traverse and a number of 24 hour races as well as taking up cycling and swimming. A former surgeon, Angela has a passion to inspire others to take their own ‘small steps’ to adopt healthy lifestyle choices throughout life and has set up a social enterprise to encourage and motivate people to improve their future health.

We discuss:

• The beginning of her athletic journey.
• Why it can be hard (but so important) for people to get active in their older age.
• The ways society makes it harder to get started based on assumptions that aren’t true.
• How becoming an ultra runner changed her lifestyle.
• How you need to think of athletics differently when you do it later in life.

… and more!
