What if your greatest athletic achievements came after having triplets? This week on the Runna Podcast , we’re joined by Clare Elms , a multi-time world record holder and one of the most dominant Masters runners of all time. Despite discovering her talent later in life, Clare has gone on to: 🏆 Win five European indoor gold medals and multiple world records. ⏱️ Break the W60 Mile World Record with an incredible 5:26.13. 🇬🇧 Set 14 UK age-group records 🏃‍♀️ Dominate ParkRun —she’s been the fastest female finisher in all 158 ParkRuns she’s done! In this episode, we talk about: 👟 Winning races at 45+ and staying at the top of her game. 🥑 Why she eats avocado with every meal. 👩‍👧 The joy of training and racing with her daughter. 🆕 How new shoe technology has given her a second wind. 💪 The mindset behind "slowing down the getting slower.” Clare’s story is a powerful reminder that age doesn’t define your potential—it’s all about mindset, training smart, and loving the sport.
