Running Into The Gap | Nikki Love | TEDxLoughborough University

Running Into The Gap is a bold and energising talk about endurance, age, and rewriting the story of women in sport. Beginning with the trailblazing example of Kathrine Switzer and Bobbi Gibb in 1967, this talk traces one woman’s lifelong journey in running and her refusal to accept the narrative of decline placed on midlife women. Nikki Love is an adventurer, author, speaker, and Sport and Exercise Psychology undergraduate at Loughborough University. Building on previous challenges like 63 marathons in 63 days across the UK, she set the women’s record for running 4,044 km across Australia in 76 days when she was 56 years old. Now, at 58, she intends to combine her lived experiences with academics to explore how mindset, motivation, and midlife physiology intersect. She uses her personal anecdotes to challenge the research and cultural blind spots that treat ageing as decline, and invites us to see midlife as a time of potential, performance, and power, inspiring us to ask what might change if we began seeing this stage of life as a launchpad, not a limitation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
