Chrissie Wellington: What's tougher than an Ironman triathlon?
from Bristol2Beijing · host Luke Grenfell-Shaw
Imagine swimming more than two miles before cycling over 100 miles and then running a marathon… This week’s guest is disarmingly modest about her extraordinary career as four times Ironman world champion and yet she has achieved far more than this. Before becoming a professional athlete, Chrissie worked for the British government on international development policy and for a NGO in Nepal. Despite all of this, her biggest challenge was not Ironman related but instead one that many of us face. Chrissie talks candidly about the experience of being a mother and the secret behind the success of parkrun.
