“When I started running marathons at 42, I thought I was too old and that it would be a one-off. I never imagined 15 years later I would be running even further,” Sophie Raworth, now 57, tells me over video call.
Since her early 40s, Sophie has pulled on her running shoes for over 20 marathons and ultra-marathons. Her achievements include the 250km Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert, an ultramarathon from Orsières in Switzerland to Chamonix in France, and 55km through the rocky hills in Mallorca. She has also completed all six World Marathon Majors, from London to Tokyo.
