What can running a 6-day long, 257 km ultramarathon teach us about life?

How can we unlock more of our own potential through pushing ourselves physically?

How can coaching facilitate insights for startup founders, women in tech and the people in our lives?

Listen to Lorraine's incredible story of resilience, ingenuity and drive in this fascinating, wide-ranging conversation about startups, adventure races and personal physical challenges. Lorraine covers her role as Head of Operation @NDRC in Dogpatch labs, one of Ireland's biggest startup incubators and accelerators and their fascinating initiatives to support women-led founders. Then we get into the amazing stories Lorraine has from completing the Marathon des Sables, a seven-day, 257 km ultramarathon, which is approximately the distance of six regular marathons. And her excursions climbing mountains in Latin America and Africa, all while managing a condition where she gets regular migraines.

I was blown away by Lorraine's resilience, determination and drive to make the most of life and her career, despite dealing with often debilitating migraines.

This episode exemplify's the running theme of our podcast, chatting with someone carving out their own path, doing so against many obstacles, and following their intuition, even though difficult obstacles.
