Episode 252 Sarah Pendergrass: The Light at the end of Scotland

Sarah is taking a selfie, with her arm behind her and looking back. In front of her is a gravel pathway heading off towards two or three mountain peaks.

Kia ora e te whānau. Sarah Pendergrass has changed. I mean, we all do, right? But Sarah’s journey has taken her from being a self-confessed “pom at bondi” to being an ultramarathon runner, podcaster, bike-packer, successful illustrator and all round adventurer. Sarah joined Eugene and Matt to discuss her epic run across Scotland, her history with running and cycling, and all the other cool stuff she does, and her close up encounters with the multitude of horrifying beasties that call Australia home. Apart from cementing our phobia of lurking Atractaspididae, this is an uplifting and engaging conversation with someone who has moved from wanting to find the nearest hurt locker and jump headfirst into it, to moving with joy and engagement in nature and the community. Faced with such and epic guest we ask the hard questions, like “Can snakes clap?” and other gems. Strap in. Plus we bring you our first ever trailhead links and a GRE for the ages. Best Enjoyed Running.
