ASICS athlete and international runner and triathlete Anna Hedley joins the podcast to share, quite a lot...
From high levels of childhood success where she took national titles left, right, and centre, in both running and triathlon; to leaving home at 17 to pursue her sporting career; to dealing with injuries and beginning her sponsored career injured; to balancing life, training, and the multiple sports; to some more reflective and discussive points, this episode covers it all.
Anna reflects around the meaning of success and balance and what these mean for her. She introduces new and insightful points around what it means to be a female athlete ,the role of female coaches, and both physical and psychological reasons for why different approaches to training may be needed for the average female when compared to the average male. She also sheds light on the importance of owning your own journey, being kind to yourself, and staying strong when faced with adversity.
Anna further raises the point that she would like to use her success in sport to help enact positive change in other areas of life, such as through social value. A topic which is seldom raised but needs more attention.
It is a long episode, but we cover a wide range of topics.
