How to start running and reach the national top at an age at which other professional runners start retiring?

In this episode, I talk to Ingrid Prigge, who has been 17 times Dutch Masters Champion over various distances from 10k to marathon. At age 35, shortly after giving birth to her second daughter, Ingrid wanted to get back in shape and started running. Coming from a background that was not too enthusiastic about running, she discovered her talent and passion for the sport. Talking about the past 20 years, Ingrid explains, how and why running became one of her big passions. We talk about her fast, and at times naive and bumpy way to running to the national top. Now at age 55, she explains why she started coaching other runners and what messages she would like to convey to them.
