In the fifth episode of our special Break the Bias series, I
chat to Kate Jayden, who has just finished runnnig 101 marathons in
101 consecutive days.
Kate set off on New Year's Day 2022, and has
raised over £27,000 to help refugees with food, hygiene
products, and mental health support.
The distance of 100 marathons, is the same distance that a
Syrian refugee would travel to come to the UK.
But this is not her first ultra endurance challenge.
In 2027, she ran from London to Paris and cycled
back.
She has cycled from John'O'Groats in Scotland to Lands End in
Scotland and run back.
And this summer, she will do complete 10 Ironman distance
triathlons back to back.
She is unusual in being one of the few females in ultra
distance events, proving that anything is possible with the right
mindset.
We spoke about her upbringing and how she has survived and
thrived despite suffer abuse when she was young child.
She chats about the mental processes that she uses to survive
and thrive during these epic challenges, particularly when working
full time.
And if you want to know what she eats in order to manage to
run a marathon a day - all that have to be done as one run, you'll
find out here!
