Lauren Gregory 1st British Female Marathon des Sables 2021

This week we are lucky to have Lauren Gregory on the show. Lauren not only completed the infamous 35th edition of the Marathon des Sables in 2021 she was also the first British Female.

Whilst Lauren didn’t suffer from the stomach bug that rampaged through camp in 2021 her race was far from straightforward. She definitely had her own problems to solve, and some of the choices she made could have been a race ender if she’d gotten them wrong.

This is a great episode with lessons for runners of all abilities. Enjoy the show.

Lauren is also a personal trainer and you can find out more about what she does on her website.

Also the charity she ran for (raised £12k) and she has stayed on as part of their MDS coaching team and also a Trustee – Hope for Children.
