Today’s guest is a force of the British mountains, a Great British athlete and the female record holder of the legendary Paddy Buckley Round. From slate, scree, and sky to split times that make your jaw drop, she’s rewritten what toughness looks like on the toughest Welsh peaks. We’re diving into the mindset, the miles, and the moments that turned grit into a record. Lace up: this is the spirit of mountain running at its highest altitude.

We had some Old County Tops chat for fans of fell running and last but not least Lizzie shares how the World Mountain Running Champs went down.
