    From mountain runner to mountain rescue casualty - how Sally Gilson escaped loosing a foot on the fells

    From mountain runner to mountain rescue casualty - how Sally Gilson escaped loosing a foot on the fells

    Thanks so much to Sally Gilson for today’s episode. Four months ago, ultra runner and Wild Ginger Running Patreon Sally badly broke her ankle while on a hike in the Lake District to celebrate her 50th birthday. The damage was so bad she had to be stretchered off the hill by Keswick Mountain Rescue. They had to put her foot agonisingly back in place on the hill quickly or she risked losing it altogether.
    After surgery, two pins and a metal plate, Sally’s bone is gradually fusing back together but she is navigating a life without running for a good while. She was aiming for a 100 miler this summer but crewed for her buddy instead. We caught up with Sally to find out more about her accident, her subsequent recovery and how she’s coping with being a runner who can’t run for possibly a whole year.

    Tim has made some Wild Ginger Running training plans including drills and skills, take a look here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/my-training-plans/WildGingerRunning
    In 2000 a car on the wrong side of the road, overtaking on a blind summit, crashed into coach Tim's car leaving him in a coma for two weeks and life-threatening injuries that took him years of surgeries and rehab to recover from. He is now mostly held together by metal. Find out more about the accident and his road to recovery here https://www.youtube.com/live/dRzi1AvUNOA

    What's it like to be a trail & ultra race director? Due North Events founder Mel Steventon shares her story, how she went from founding the company in 2017, taking it through the covid lockdown and working hard to increase female entrants and encouraging a more ethnically diverse participation.
