The Power Within

The inspiring story of ultra-runner and campaigner Sophie Power's achievements and the transformative power of endurance.

In 2018 a photograph of Sophie Power breastfeeding her three-month-old son during the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc went viral. This powerful image not only changed Sophie's life but sparked global conversations about motherhood, endurance and the barriers women face in sport.

The Power Within delves into the key life lessons Sophie has learned through running: lessons on resilience, self-belief and female empowerment. Her journey is extraordinary: from coming second to last in the school cross country to reaching her peak in her forties when she not only ran for Great Britain in the 24-Hour World Championships but also broke two Guinness World Records in ultra-running.

Sophie shares how she built resilience through life's toughest moments, learned to prioritise herself beyond motherhood, and discovered the power of both saying no and empowering herself in male-dominated spaces.

Through deeply personal reflections and practical insights, The Power Within offers a roadmap for women to reclaim space - in sport, in life and within themselves.
