Trail Running Women – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In 2015 May believed she wasn't an athlete, but started walk jogging short distances around a track to try something different. She quickly became obsessed and started the instagram account @i.heart.running to document her new hobby. Like many of us, May most certainly is an athlete and just needed to get over that mental block. She's now run distances up to 50km and is passionate about the sport and the community. She will leave you feeling excited to get out there!

Sarah Seads has been working and playing in the fields of running, rehabilitation and health and wellness since 1996 when she stumbled into her career as a Kinesiologist during her first year of University at UVic. Intending to complete her degree as a writer, Sarah suddenly found herself in the school of exercise sciences when a tree planting injury landed her in the university’s Physio clinic.  Sarah has been working as a professional Coach in the fields of Kinesiology and sport science for over 25 years and has helped thousands of inspiring humans overcome their limiting beliefs and reach towards their soul sized visions, dreams and goals all over the planet. 

Thanks in part to the pandemic, Sarah closed her successful in person company on Vancouver Island to follow her lifelong dream of becoming a successful writer.  Although she has written 3 small books already, Sarah is currently writing her first experiential & highly adventurous memoir, which will be based around a central theme of pushing pause on her familiar life, closing her business, turning away from her mind-only living experiences and turning solely into heart based living by learning to listen to and trust her intuition.  Sarah has recently returned to her full-time business coaching groups and individuals both online & in-person, after spending the past 3 years navigating her inner and outer wilderness all around the world.

Anushay has always defined herself as an Academic but struggled to call herself an athlete. She moved to Canada from Pakistan and quickly became involved in the trail running community and with a bit of work is now both an athlete and an ultrarunner. 

Anushay was inspired to go further and push her body and mind to complete her first 50km last summer. She has an amazing energy and will leave you feeling like doing hard things is exciting.
