Podcasts about elisabet barnes

Elisabet Barnes is a 5x participant at MDS The Legendary and a 2x champion. In 2025, Elisabet returned to the Legendary with different goals, different perspectives and to experience the race without the pressure of the podium. Her last MDS participation was 2017. A great deal has happened in the last 8-years, Covid for one and of course, a change of organisation at The Legendary. With extensive experience of MDS as a participant and coach, Elisabet provides and in-depth insight of the 'new' Legendary. "...very friendly, cheerful, supportive, it was a very positive experience to come to a checkpoint or the finish line. There was always people on the course wether in buggies or a medic running the opposite way; I saw so many people on the course, it was good for moral but it also felt safe... but I never felt there was less people on the course, actually I think there was more and they could access everywhere." Evolution not revolution.

Rebecca in her own words:   “First and foremost, I'm a mum of 5. However, I've always maintained and embraced sport throughout pregnancies and parenting.    My love of the outdoors and especially running, was instilled in me from an early age having grown up with a very sporty family. Many holiday was spent walking and camping in Scotland   I started running, ballet and horse riding at a very early age. I grew up in a small village in the north and if I wanted to see friends I'd walk, run, ride a bike or pony !    It wasn't really until 2014 that the ultra endurance big kicked in with full effect ! I wanted a new, bigger challenge to raise money for a charity which had helped me during one of my pregnancies. I'd heard about a brutal desert race ( the infamous Marathon Des Sables ) and decided that this would be a great challenge.    It's from here that the endurance bug really kicked in. I finished a respectable 10th lady on my first big challenge. What's better is that I'd found this incredible community of like minded people who loved being outside and running for hours on end !    I competed globally racing in Colorado, Himalayas, Spain, France - picking up the occasional podium on my travels.    Yet, it was the mountains which really set my heart on fire. Racing in the Himalayas, I'd often seen this beautiful mountain called ‘Ama Dablam'. I'd think to myself how wonderful it would be to climb it but I'd been told it was for really accomplished climbers only.    It is a technical mountain. Unperturbed, I decided ‘why not try?!'    A running friend put me in touch with his climbing friend and we worked together last year climbing in Wales - around the lockdown.    I summited Ama almost a year ago and from there, a love of high altitude mountain climbing was ignited.    To find myself completing the Everest and Lhotse ‘High Double' at the beginning of the season and then to summit K2' was simply a dream!”   Learn more about Rebecca and her love and passion for the outdoors.    New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss a single episode.    You can support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

NB! Denne podcasten ble spilt inn november 2020. Alt som ble sagt ifbm COVID, reise og holdninger må derfor bli sett i sammenheng med samtiden.Du kjenner kanskje Elisabet Barnes som hun der som har vunnet og vært på pallen i verdens hardeste og mest prestisjefylte ultra- og etappeløp. Jeg nevner i fleng: Maraton des Sables, Oman Desert Maraton, The Coastal Challenge Costa Rica, The Big Red Run og Everest Trail Race. Om du er en av de som følger henne på sosiale medier er du nok ikke den eneste som fikk bakoversveis i mars/april da instagram-feeden hennes gikk fra å bestå av løpebilder til plutselig å inneholde promiskuøse og lettkledde bilder av henne, samt bilder av sexleketøy. Elisabet liker ikke å binde seg til et yrke, og har gjort flere slike helomvendinger i sitt voksne liv. Hør alt om "reisen" hennes i dagens sjukt fete NEDA-episode.

Elisabet Barnes is een superster in ultralopen. In 2015 én 2017 won ze de Marathon des Sables. Een brute multi-stage ultraloop van 250 km door de Sahara. Ook wel aangeduid als “the toughest footrace on earth”. In 2015 deed ze dat zelfs door elke etappe te winnen. Op haar wikipedia staat een imposante lijst met races die ze heeft gewonnen, velen in een recordtijd. Recent heeft ze een switch gemaakt en is ze haar passie gaan volgen. Die ligt in seksuologie en relatiecoaching voor koppels. In de podcast hebben we uitgebreid gesproken over haar carrière als ultraloper, maar we zijn snel doorgegaan op het onderwerp seks en relatie. We hebben onder anderen gesproken over de rol van schaamte in seks. Hoe je een goed gesprek voert met je partner over seks. Hoe je aangeeft wat je prettig vindt tijdens de seks. En hoe je je seksleven wat meer pit geeft als deze wat is ingedut. Voor mij zaten er volop inzichten in en ik weet zeker dat het jou ook veel oplevert.

Sondre Amdahl og Elisabet Barnes er to stk ekstremt erfarne og meritterte ultra- og etappeløpere. Jeg besøkte dette nygifte paret i Trysil rett før min avreise til Nepal hvor jeg selv skal løpe et etappeløp, nemlig Everest Trail Race, som tilfeldigvis begge to har løpt. I denne episoden går vi i dybden på etapppeløp og alt som hører med.

Jeg er glad og stolt over å presentere Elisabet Barnes som gjest i Captares 25-episoders jubileum!Elisabet er en ultraløper som har som spesialitet og løpe etappeløp, gjerne under ekstremt varme forhold som i Marathon des sables.Hun setter seg ned og forteller om sin transformasjon fra en karriere i London til ultra- og utholdenhetsløper i verdensklasse.Vi snakker også om hennes vei inn i et plantebasert kosthold, et tema som er like viktig som det er kontroversielt. I dag er det liten tvil om at veganismen er kommet for å bli, noe som kan ha avgjørende innflytelse på miljø, helse og hvordan vi behandler dyr i fremtiden.Sett i lys av de siste tiders dokumentarer som blant annet The Game Changers, er dette en høyaktuell samtale som jeg håper bidrar til å utforske et tema i rivende utvikling.Linker som omhandler Elisabet:The Rise of the Ultra Runners som lydbokArtikkel i The Guardian om ElisabetElisabet sin hjemmeside Løpesamlinger med Elisabet og SondreElisabet som din personlige trenerE på InstagramDiverse vi nevner i podcasten, og annet som kan inspirere til videre research:Dokumentarer:https://www.whatthehealthfilm.comhttps://www.cowspiracy.comhttps://www.forksoverknives.comhttps://runningforgoodfilm.com/#home-2-section (Elisabet er med i denne og den handler om løping og Marathon des Sables)Bøker:How Not to Die av Michael Greger (og svaret hans på om dadler er bra for deg:)The China Study av T.
