Laura Massey-Pugh - ultra/long distance cyclist, planning to break the tandem around the World Record with her husband Stevie in 2022.

<div>Laura in her own words:</div> <div> </div> <div>“I’m a 35 yo Veterinary Surgeon, ultra/long distance cyclist, hiker and runner who loves having adventures... and this year, 2022 I plan to break the tandem around the World Record with my husband Stevie.</div> <div> </div> <div>I started out in life not at all sporty or fit but adventurous: white water kayaking, cycling, hiking and camping.  </div> <div> </div> <div>I realised mid-twenties I wanted to get fitter as well and this coincided with meeting Stevie and being introduced to long distance cycling where I completes a range of long distance events on solo and Tandem including the infamous Paris-Brest-Paris solo and Lejog on a tandem.  </div> <div> </div> <div>I then took up running and after a couple of false starts ran wainwright's coast to coast by myself in May with Stevie as support, 190miles in 5 days.  We have also completed some of the more epic long distance walks I the UK such as Offas Dyke and the Pennine Way, camping along the way with our dog Geoffrey (as well as West Highland way, Ridgeway and Hadrians wall)</div> <div> </div> <div>2022 is the big one though! 18,000 miles, 180 days, 2 people, 1 bike!! We set off in June to attempt to break the current Tandem World Record!”</div> <div> </div> <div>New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out. </div> <div> </div> <div>The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons. </div> <div> </div> <div>Support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.
