At 56, she set the women’s record for running across Australia - 4,044 km in 76 days - building on previous challenges like 63 marathons in 63 days across the UK and multi-country runs including around Ireland, the length of Wales, the length of Scotland, and across the Netherlands, all since turning 50. Now 58, Nikki is combining her lived experience with academic study to explore how mindset, motivation, and midlife physiology intersect. Her TEDx talk, Running Into the Gap, challenges the research and cultural blind spots that treat ageing as decline, and invites us to see midlife as a time of potential, performance, and power. Through her adventures and studies, Nikki explores what happens when we stop treating age as decline and start studying it as potential - asking what might change if we began seeing this stage of life as a launchpad, not a limitation. https://nikkilove.co.uk https://www.chaseyourextraordinary.comhttps://instagram.com/nikkiloveruns
