  • Summary

  • This podcast is an honest insight into the struggles and sleepless nights of hunger for an endurance athlete trying to get back to race weight.


    I was absolutely gutted with the numbers I saw on the weighing scales when I stood on them after not weighing myself for months. I thought I looked the same but clearly the pizza & justified dessert here and there was making those kilograms sneakily pile on.


    I genuinely felt I didn’t look any different at 79.4kg than I looked at 75kg but I did certainly feel heavier when I was running, which led me to stepping on the scales. I know the diet has been tough but I’m glad I am now getting my weight back to a better place and the running is also feeling a little easier too. Hopefully, this can translate into my racing performances too🙏🏃‍♂️
