Marie Cheng: Leaving London life for the outdoors and trail running

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It’s hosted by Liv Bolton. In this episode, Liv Bolton goes for a walk in the Peak District with Marie Cheng. Marie’s life has been transformed by the outdoors in the last few years. Before the pandemic, Marie used to work as a consultant in London. She loved hiking and skiing, but felt like they were just fleeting moments in her busy, urban life. Just before lockdown she decided to make some big, brave changes. She quit her job, moved to Sheffield and based her life in the Peak District. Her dog Millie and a new interest in trail running soon followed. A few years later, Marie now has a career working for outdoors brands and trail running dominates her free time - she’s run the Snowdonia ultramarathon as well as races in the Alps. Marie’s message is about encouraging us all to take small steps towards our dreams to see where the journey takes us.  If you enjoy this episode, it would fantastic if you could subscribe.
