Susie Chan and her running adventures

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

From the Moroccan desert to the Peruvian jungle, British endurance runner Susie Chan’s adventures have taken her all around the world. She has completed the Marathon des Sables more times than any other British woman, set the 12-hour treadmill world record and was one of the first women to finish all the world marathon majors. But she tells Sportshour’s Caroline Barker how her love for running came later in life and how it’s helped her through some of her toughest moments.
