Hanny is no stranger to the trail running and outdoor adventure communities in Australia.
In 2006, Hanny won the Junior and Senior World Orienteering titles. In doing so, she became the first non-European to win an Orienteering World Championship and the first person, male or female, to hold both the Senior and Junior title in the same year.
In the years since, she’s achieved a long list of victories, records and placings in the worlds of mountain and trail running, ultramarathon running and sky running.
She’s also the co-founder of my favourite retail and online store - Find Your Feet - based in Tasmania with her husband Graham.
And on top of all that, she’s a performance coach and the host of an incredible podcast also called ‘Find Your Feet.
We cover all of that, and more, in our first conversation (which you can find here).
This conversation is very different.
This is a conversation about Hanny finding her feet.
She has just released a memoir - her first memoir - called ‘Finding My Feet’.
I was lucky enough to read an advance copy. And the best way to describe it as soul-full.
It's Hanny's incredible story (so far) that is brave and vulnerable and heartbreaking and awe-inspiring. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. It’s one of the most honest memoirs and autobiographies I’ve read in a long time.
