Helen Skelton: Why We Should All Do Hard Things

Helen Skelton: Why We Should All Do Hard Things

How do you build a mindset so powerful that nothing life throws at you can hold you back?


This week on The Runna Podcast, we’re joined by the unstoppable Helen Skelton—broadcaster, adventurer, mum of three, and true superwoman. Known for saying yes to the wildest challenges—from kayaking 2,010 miles solo down the Amazon to cycling to the South Pole—Helen has become an inspiration for what’s possible when you refuse to let fear or difficulty stand in your way.


Think of the craziest challenge? Helen’s probably done it. As she gets ready for her fourth London Marathon with Runna, we talk about fitting marathon training around her busy career and three kids—including how a 24-hour rollerblading challenge for Comic Relief became part of her prep.


🌟 Superwoman Mentality – Why Helen says yes to the toughest adventures and how each one builds her resilience

💪 Doing Hard Things – How she uses her wildest experiences as reference points for life’s toughest moments

🏃‍♀️ London Marathon – What keeps her coming back and how she fits training around family and work

👧 Mum of three – How her children inspire her and how her adventures set an example

🧠 Mindset – Using adversity and challenge to shape a powerful, positive outlook


Helen’s story proves that saying yes to challenge doesn’t just change you—it inspires everyone around you to see what’s possible.
