Sophie Raworth

At a time when I felt unsure of my footing at work, running was starting to make me feel steadier on my feet and in my mind.

At the age of 40, BBC broadcaster Sophie Raworth assumed she was too old to start running. But after seeing a friend do the London Marathon, she decided to give it a go.

Since then, she has run races all over the world, including across the Alps and the Sahara Desert. And along the way, as she charts in her book Running on Air, she has discovered unexpected strength, new confidence and a deep resilience that has helped her through some tough life challenges.

We’re thrilled to welcome Sophie to discuss how you can do ‘so much more than you ever believed, just by putting one foot in front of the other’.
