46. This 100km Race Sent Her to Hospital... How Running Became a RISK

Is the fitness world over-optimising itself into the ground? This week I'm joined by runfluencer Jenny Mannion to unpack the Stephen Bartlett wine controversy and what it says about obsessive health tracking in running and wider fitness culture. Plus — Jenny opens up about her 100km ultra DNF which led to her visiting A&E... Jenny also explains plans to build the next 'parkrun' but female only!
