Sophie Grace Holmes: Defying cystic fibrosis, 36 Marathons in 36 Days, and Her Ultra Ironman

In this episode of The Runna Podcast, hosts Ben and Anya sit down with a woman of steel, Sophie Grace Holmes (@sophiegraceholmes). She is a remarkable athlete who has defied all odds. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a life threatening lung disease, and not expected to live past 16, Sophie took up running to prove her doctors wrong and extend her lifespan. Now over 30, she has surpassed all expectations and achieved extraordinary feats, demonstrating that anything is possible with determination and a positive mindset.


Highlights include:

  • Incredible Achievements: Completing 36 marathons in 36 days and an ultra Ironman in Lake Como, including a 5km swim in pitch black and a 50km ultra marathon.
  • Defying Expectations: How Sophie used running to challenge her diagnosis and extend her lifespan beyond what was thought possible.
  • Breaking Barriers: Her role in inspiring and breaking barriers for those with cystic fibrosis, showing that a life-threatening disease doesn't define one's capabilities.
  • Mental Fortitude: Insights into her incredible mindset and mental strength in the face of her challenging condition.
  • Lighter Moments: Humorous and uplifting stories from Sophie’s incredible journey that will inspire and entertain.
  • Running tips and tricks and debunking common myths
