Summary

Welcome back to this Big Fish mini series! I'm so nearly half way through. Today I’m joined by Jasmin Paris, an ultra-runner who made history after becoming the first woman to complete the Barkley Marathons - one of the hardest ultramarathons in the world.

In this episode we discuss how she physically and mentally completed this gruelling race with only a couple of minutes sleep.
