Episode 84 featuring Angie Joiner Handy

Send us Fan MailIt was great to meet and listen to the story, so far, of Angie. from a background as a runner, who reached the elite level at cross country and long distance, laid the foundation for what has been a diverse sporting journey.Angie states "I come from a running background. Between 1996 and 2000 I ran internationally as a distance runner. Representing England in the Commonwealth Games 1998 in Kuala Lumpur. The World Half Marathon Championships in 1997 and the World Cross Country Championships where we won a team bronze medal. I was sponsored by puma for 5 years at that time and ranked 8th in the Commonwealth over 10,000m with a time of 33.20.I had my family and got into triathlons at around 40. I have never really trained to optimum for duathlons as I have always relied on being a PT for fitness. However, they are getting super competitive and if I want to get in the medals I need to do some proper and structured training. I have had 2 silver medals in the middle distance duathlons at Worlds. I got double bronze medals in the sprint and standard distances 4 years ago. I also got a silver getting exactly the same time as Cathy Dawson to 100th of a second. What a race that was. I have also bagged another bronze at standard distance 2 years ago. The last couple of races 4th and 6th. I have a year between now and the Worlds in Australia so time to put the training in ready.I compete in powerlifting too. I am the World Champion in single lifts and full power and I hold the world record in my category for deadlift (full power) European records for squat in full power.
