    @mellywellywoo

    We last spoke when she won The Spine Challenger South in the summer of 2023, so we had some catching up to do!

    Mel was on a trajectory for success the last time we spoke, but something got in the way of her lofty plans, chiari malformation! (The medical term) So after brain surgery and recovery, her racing career was in question. But thankfully for Mel she has been able to return to running, but not just that, she is back racing and took second place at this summers challenger south race in preparation for her next big outing.......The full Winter Spine Race in January 2025!

    We talk about the challenges she’s faced over her recovery, her return to running and her plans for January’s race. Mel talks at length about the women’s Spine recce weekend that saw a large group of talented female runners take on some of the north section of the infamous winter race.

    With so many experienced women out there, this years race is going to be dynamite! 🧨
