New location, podcast from poolside 😊 Joe and I catch up chatting how our athletes have been improving despite the unusual challenges we find cropping up. How to train despite, what not to drop now we have pool access and staying healthy.

Another famous lady more used to being on the other side of the mic, but today I am asking the questions. Annie first raced as far back as 1991 and has had success running for GB, Duathlon and Triathlon on the world stage & even winning the UKs first Half IM distance event in 2002. Since then her coaching career has grown helping womens tri grow with the help of the BBC Tripod podcast then the Herspirit website. Other accolades include being involved in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics with the commentary team. A fascinating insight to her racing, overcoming a fear of the swim, not fully but enough to race to an elite level. Her coaches and progress through to retirement when she started coaching herself.

With a long background in communications she first started learning about performance psychology after competing in Ironman Melbourne in 2013. It was a really windy day with huge waves. For someone used to swimming in a 20 metre London gym pool this was way out of her comfort zone. She heard the commentator mention the waves. He said “you can’t control the conditions. What you can control is the way you choose to react to them.” A light bulb moment. She realized it was her choice if she was scared or not and had to choose not to be. It became the fastest Ironman she’s raced and set off a full career change, from a conversion course to learn all the basics of Psychology to the MSc in Sports and Exercise Psychology. https://performanceinmind.co.uk/about/
