EP. 104 | Rising to the Desert Challenge; Kim Sonntag's Ultra Journey Balancing Running, Medicine and Charity.

Dela

Today we're diving into the inspiring journey of Dr. Kim Sonntag, a dedicated Runner and Obstetrician & Gynecologist from Cape Town. Kim has not only conquered the grueling Two Oceans and Comrades marathons this year, but she recently took on the extraordinary challenge of a 250 km self-supported race through the Namibian desert ; The Desert Ultra.

In this episode, Kim shares insights into her remarkable running journey, from Parkruns to Ultramarathons, and how she recently overcame the intense heat and demanding conditions of the desert race. She opens up about her passion for supporting causes close to her heart, raising funds for Liv2Run and Mowbray Maternity, through her racing endeavours. We'll explore her unique approach to training, balancing her professional demands, and maintaining a holistic approach to health—both for herself and her patients.

Stay tuned and get ready to be inspired by a story of resilience, community spirit, and the transformative power of running. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
