The Ultra Running Registrar - A conversation with Beth Pascall

Beth is a professional trail runner and NHS paediatric registrar based in Derbyshire, UK. Some career highlights include setting the Bob Graham round record, two x top-5 finishes at the UTMB and several GB vests at ultra-distances. In 2021 she took some time out from medicine and headed to the US to prepare for the Western States 100 race. She won the race in the second fastest women's time in history, despite temperatures over 40°C. She enjoys running with her Kelpie trail dogs and a bit of cycling (gravel and MTB) on the side. Beth talks through how she manages her ultra running career alongside her NHS career, how she trains while injured, and how she fuels her body to complete ultra events.
