The Running Granny : Angela White

Angela,aka The Running Granny, is a retired orthopaedic surgeon who started running aged 53. At the age of 60 she ran 875 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End (JOGLE) – not because running the length of Britain had ever been an ambition, but because years on orthopaedic wards watching preventable decline had made her determined to start a conversation about healthy ageing. Overcoming extreme weather, injury, and a thorough reappraisal of what she believed herself capable of, she became the oldest woman ever to complete the JOGLE and gained a Guinness World Record for doing so. What audiences tend to find is that the run turns out to be only part of the story. ‘You’re never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream’
