Ever wondered what fuels someone through 230km of frozen Arctic wilderness – and still leaves them winning? ❄️🏃‍♀️

This week, we’re plugging into the Power Playlist of ultra-runner legend Ioana Barbu, who just smashed the Arctic Ice Ultra – first woman across the line, second overall (!!), and still going strong with six ultras lined up this year. 

Ioana swears by Kris King’s Running Playlist and podcast – she’s a proud member of the Beyond The Ultimate Crew, and she’s not risking a dead battery mid-run, so yes, it’s wire headphones only in sub-zero temps. 

From pounding icy trails with Kris in her ears to vibing with Classic FM and Smooth Radio when the weather matches the tarmac, Ioana’s 'Global Radio' roots and epic endurance are giving us serious motivation.
