Episode 11: Interview with Jasmin Paris
Jasmin Paris shot to global attention in January 2019 when she beat the first male finisher by almost 15 hours in the brutal 268-mile Spine ultramarathon. She has also set records on the Bob Graham Round, The Paddy Buckley Round and the Ramsay Round, won the World Sky Running Series and twice won the British hill running championships. She talks about dealing with all the media attention after winning the Spine race, about the joy of moving light and fast in the mountains, and about her plans for the future.
““It’s nice at the end to feel tired, that you’ve pushed yourself hard. I enjoy that feeling.””
