Kate Sanderson, is a rather, shy, introverted Australian girl, who loved nothing more than to run ultramarathons but one particular ultramarathon in the Kimberleys in Western Australia was to change her life forever. 

Kate shares her horrifying story of seeing a wall of fire coming towards her and a small group of other runners including the famous Turia Pitt as they ran through a gorge,

Each runner tried a different way to escape the flames, two managed to get out unhurt, another two suffered burns to 20% of their bodies and Turia and Kate unfortunately got his the worse and were burnt over 60% of their bodies. 

Kate lost half a foot, the tendons on her hands melted as she tried to protect her face with her hands and her arms and legs were severely burnt. For 4 long hours they hung on for dear life while waiting for rescue. What ensued was another 6 months of intense rehab, skin grafts and operations and years of recovery. 

Now 7 years on Kate is back doing what she loves, doing ultras all over the world even conquering the infamous Marathon des Sables a 240km race across the Moroccan Sahara last year and the Grand to Grand in the USA and that despite not being able to regulate her temperature properly.

Next up is a 316km ultra in New Zealand the Alps 2 Ocean. 

In this incredibly rare interview Kate shares her very private journey and I had the privilege to interview this incredibly strong woman. 

We would also like to thank the sponsors of this show.

Lisa Mammana is an Australian born mother of three. Her husband is in the Australian Air Force which means long periods of time with the kids on her own, add to that being a full time chef and having to shift towns and even countries regularly for her husbands work and you can imagine how tough it is to fit in your own fitness training and how hard it is to focus on your own sporting ambitions but somehow Lisa found the time to start. It wasn't all smooth sailing but slowly Lisa increased the distances she was able to do firstly just to the letterbox and back and after six months of steady work to do her first 10k but that was just beginning of her story. 

She went on to achieve half marathons, marathons, ultramarathons and even a multi day stage race across the Australian Simpson Desert in 45 degree heat. 

Hear her inspiring story. 

We would also like to thank the sponsors of this show.

Rose Byass suffered a mental breakdown and ended up hospitalised and at rock bottom but inside she had a strong will to survive and to get back up again, a strong desire to climb back out of the morass and after over a decade in the army and having faced many of lifes typical problems she the resilience to get back up.

A big part of her recovery journey was when she took up running. At first just short distances but within a very short period of time she started tackling one ultramarathon after the other. Getting mentally stronger alongside getting physically stronger and fitter. 

She is a strong advocate for the power of sport to help people overcome depression and mental health issues. 

Her next challenge is to compete in Florida in the Triple Ironman. 

We would also like to thank the sponsors of this show.
