Information

BBC news presenter Sophie Raworth is used to reporting on the world’s biggest stories - but her own is just as compelling. Starting to run at 40, and after a first marathon that ended in collapse, she refused to give up, going on to complete all seven World Marathon Majors and the gruelling Marathon des Sables across the Sahara. Honest, funny and hugely inspiring, this is about far more than running: it’s about resilience, friendship and discovering strength you never knew you had. Join Sophie for a candid and uplifting conversation that might just have you reaching for your trainers.
