What happens when one of life’s biggest setbacks becomes the catalyst for a completely new chapter?
In this powerful episode, Gemma Hillier-Moses shares her extraordinary journey from battling cancer to becoming a trail running champion. She talks openly about how movement and exercise supported her physical recovery and mental health during treatment — and how the experience transformed her perspective on resilience, challenge and life.
Gemma takes us inside the world of ultra running, from tackling technical mountain races and running through the night to race strategy, navigation, crew support and the problem-solving mindset needed when things inevitably go wrong.
We also explore her passion for making trail running more environmentally conscious, the impact of endurance sport on the places we love to run, and what comes next as Gemma sets her sights on even bigger mountain challenges.
