Zahra (@muslimactivemum) went from running ultras and racing on the world stage to being grounded by an unlikely fall at parkrun. The resulting injury sidelined her from the sport she loves for years, but her incredible positivity helped her come out stronger.


While recovering, Zahra became a mum. In this episode, she shares her struggles during those early days, how buggy running transformed her experience, and how it shaped the runner she is today.


She also discusses her mission to promote representation in the running world, what it feels like to be the only person who looks like her on the start line, and her hopes to inspire more women to confidently take up the sport.


If you've ever felt lost or lonely in motherhood, Zahra's story offers hope and reminds us that our biggest challenges can eventually lead to great things.


Hope you enjoy the episode!
