Come run with Lou Ramsey - winner of the 100 Mile Brisbane Valley Rail Trail or BVRT as it is better known. I was lucky enough to be out on course this year and witnessed Lou’s extraordinary performance in her maiden miler. She ran with so much determination, courage, resilience and a willingness to mix it with the men’s leaders for the majority of the race. So I made contact with Lou and asked her if she would mind sharing with you what it is like to run a 100 miler for the first time and win. Her recollections of the day I know you will find fascinating. We discussed where the idea for entering the race came from, the wide array of people resources she used including picking the minds of past winners, how she went about choosing the most crucial element of the day, her support crew. I loved hearing about her realisation that a lead that was at one stage 60 minutes, was cut to 14 minutes and how the barking of neighbourhood dogs alerted her to the location of second place. Lou talks about her family and how the thought of her kids waiting in the darkness of the finish line spurred her on and then finally how she was caught off guard by the mental challenges that follow the euphoric high of finishing an ultra.During our run, I really got a sense of how important running is in her life, her warmth and love for her running friends and her family shone through each of our smaller conversations.  So I hope you can download this episode, pop the headphones in and head out for a run with Lou Ramsey and get inside the mind of a 100 mile winner!
