Ruth Croft joins the show fresh off her victory at the 2025 Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc (UTMB). With this win, she completed the trifecta of finals victories (adding to her titles at CCC and OCC). In this conversation, we briefly reflect on the race but also take some time to explore her background and the transformative decisions she’s made to reach this moment.
