After a two-year wait, Izzy finally joins the podcast to share her incredible journey. She talks about her childhood love for running, from being timed by her auntie to joining her first club in Peebles.
Izzy opens up about a life-altering accident at 21 that doctors said would end her competitive career, and her powerful determination to run again.
