Coming up is a snippet from an interview with writer, activist, television presenter and model Katie Piper. Back in 2009 Katie bravely went on TV to document her experience as the victim of an acid attack that left her needing pioneering surgery to restore her face and vision. Today, she’s a mum of two young girls, and juggles motherhood with work with regular runs. She’s an advocate for using physical fitness to help strengthen her mental fitness and that’s what we discussed on the podcast. A quick note to say that I recorded this show before the pandemic when running was a social not solo sport.
