‘It’s never too late’: The Running Granny Angela White on ultra running & healthy ageing

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It’s hosted by Liv Bolton.

This episode takes Liv Bolton to the beautiful Howgill fells in Cumbria to walk with Angela White, better known as the Running Granny. Angela is a retired doctor and surgeon and now an ultra runner and personal trainer.

Over the past 15 years, she’s taken on some extraordinary challenges: 100-mile races, 24-hour mountain challenges, and even a Guinness World Record for running 875 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End.

And the remarkable thing? She only started running at the age of 53.

She’s now trying to spread the message about the importance of staying active throughout life so you can live healthier for longer.

Liv joined Angela for a rather steep hike (!) to hear her thoughts on healthy ageing, but also how the outdoors and her running challenges have helped her through some incredibly tough times.

We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Angela!
