The Ultratriathlon is a staggering feat in its own right, but becoming the first person in the UK to complete two of them back to back is among Claire Smith’s crowning achievements.

She once hated sport, and has fought through addiction and mental battles, demonstrating a level of resilience that enables us to achieve the impossible.

Claire joins us on Extrology to detail the brave start to her endurance athletics journey, how she processes failure, and the huge next chapter to come.

Lee and Claire discuss:

  • The journey from once hating sport to completing her first half marathon
  • Focusing on the journey over the destination
  • The sheer scale of Claire’s past achievements, soon to be surpassed by future endeavours
  • Processing failure as a deeply personal experience
  • How to cultivate the power of the mind to overcome challenges
