The Extra Mile: Running marathons aged 75 with myeloma

Dela

On this episode of The Extra Mile, Jenni previews the New York City Marathon, which marks 50 years since the five-borough course was first run.

Then Jenni meets an incredible mum and daughter duo. Pritpal Kaur ran this year’s London Marathon at 75, three years after being forced to stop at mile 17, and months before being diagnosed with the blood cancer myeloma. She’s now in remission, and her daughter Minreet, a journalist, ran every step of it with her. Minreet also tells the story of Asian Women Run, the community she founded for South Asian women who rarely saw anyone like them at the start line.

To finish, as it’s Menopause Awareness Month, there’s a bonus Q&A with GP and menopause specialist Dr Naomi Potter. She shares what she wishes every woman knew about perimenopause, how she finds time for herself with five children, and her go-to fix when she’s feeling off. Her full episode is out now on RunPod!
