The Long Way With Ultramarathoner Lizzy Hawker by kimkircher published on 2013-11-08T18:11:39Z What makes some people want to run ultra marathons? For some, grinding out all those miles through dust and mud and huge gains in elevation is nothing short of transformational. Some people were just born to run. Lizzy on the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc Inspired by mountains and wilderness Lizzy Hawker ‘fell’ into the world of ultra-distance and endurance running more by chance than by design. She entered the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc on a whim in 2005, a race that gains 31,168 feet in 103 miles through the Alps. Lizzy surprised herself, and the ultra-running world, by winning that race, and then went on to win five more times. Join me on The Edge Radio as I talk to Lizzy about pushing herself to the limit.
