Imo Boddy pushed her body to the absolute brink, conquering 682km on mere hours of sleep. But the true test of her resilience only began when the running stopped.
This week, Imo joins Ty to detail the physical toll of her Three Peaks record attempt in May 2024 - a milestone that demanded physical recovery, even while her mind was set on the next challenge.
We also trace the drive behind her endurance career, from a self-designed challenge at 17 to running the length of the UK and taking on the Three Peaks.
This is a story about breaking boundaries, and learning that your greatest battles are the ones you define for yourself - no matter the scale of your challenges…
