Ep11 - Chrissie Wellington

This week we’re lucky to be joined by Chrissie Wellington, Chrissie is a four time Ironman World Champion having won the race in Hawaii in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. She has held all three world and championship records relating to ironman-distance triathlon races: the overall world record, the Ironman World Championship course record, and the official world record for all Ironman-branded triathlon races over the full Ironman distance.

She is the first British athlete to win the Ironman world championships and was undefeated in all thirteen of her races over the ironman distance. She is the only triathlete, male or female, to have won the World Championship less than a year after turning professional.

Having retired in 2012 from professional racing Chrissie now works for Park run and has very recently made a return to competition at the Zugspitz Trail Ultra in Germany, winning the 69km Leutasch Trail event, which features 2,950m of ascent.

She has also written two successful books, A LIfe Without Limits and To The Finish Line and a series of children's books.

Join us on the trails, and find out just how simple it is for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary levels of health and fitness.
