This week’s guest is the bubbly and very fun Lou Bates.  If you’ve been in triathlon for some time, you might know her better as Louise Collins. She was an awesome age grouper who turned pro about a decade ago, at a similar time to Lucy Gossage. Things unravelled somewhat though and she took time away from triathlon. More recently she’s been national hill climbing champion, she's become a yoga teacher and she raced in the UCI E-Sports World Championships.  It’s a fascinating story about burning out and learning to find balance, with so much stuff that we can all relate to You'll hear: 21:30 Lou talks about trying to combine 20 hours of training with 60-70 hour work weeks "there is only one way that is going to go eventually" 26:50 When Lou decided to step back from triathlon and how she dealt with the emotions and mental struggles that came with the decision. 33.35 We talk about yoga, why it has helped Lou, why it took her time to get into it and why she decided to become a yoga teacher. 45:15 We talk about hill climbing on a bicycle - 'crazy' events that draw big crowds. It's a TT on a short hill and you go up as fast as you can. Lou won the National Hill Climbing Championships after a number of attempts.

Dr Emma Ross: Focus on Females

Dr Rebecca Robinson - Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine and Medical Doctor and former pro triathlete Dr Tamsin Lewis join me this week, to talk about returning to training after covid, dealing with Long Covid, plus advice on training around the Coronavirus vaccination. You'll hear: 37.50 Getting back to sport. "It's often mind over matter with a lot of athletes, but with covid if you push through there is a massive pay back. You have to celebrate the small wins. " 43:44 Dr Rebecca Robinson's wise words for returning to training. "Don't get carried away, it's keeping progress gentle and slow." 44:25 Advice for training around getting the Covid-19 vaccination 48:50 Tamsin speaks about dealing with Long Covid, as an endurance athlete: "It's forced me to confront stillness and sit with anxieties and fears and traumas and ultimately that will make me a better human" 51:35 Tamsin talk about shifting your goals if you're still dealing with the effects of Coronavirus: "If you have long covid symptoms, allow yourself 3-6 months to recover. You have to be shifting your goals because endurance exercise is a stress and your body has gone through a massive stress with covid." Plus we catch up with the amazing Luke Grenfell-Shaw Luke talks about having to pause his ride due to Covid and then re-starting it in the summer of 2020. He is full of wise words and it's amazing to hear about his journey on Chris, the tandem. 10:10 When Covid forced Luke to change his plans: "It's harder to accept something when there is no other option. I had a choice about how I wanted to use that time and I didn't want to waste it. 11:58 Luke talks about starting his 'https://www.bristol2beijing.org/podcast (Facing Up/Bristol to Beijing' podcast) 12:17 I've become interested in how some people can face a challenge and then pick themselves up and turn a challenge into an opportunity, and that's the nub of the Facing Up Podcast. 14:20 Luke really helped me to change my mindset a bit on days when I'm not feeling too happy: "Wallowing in self pity and grief means that you are going to be unhappy for that period."

Covid special: Dr Rebecca Robinson and Dr Tamsin Lewis

She's played for Brian May, she's been involved in the Queen's Christmas Broadcast, she's been a Paraclimbing World Champion, she's had to re-learn how to walk and she's taught herself how to run. If that isn't enough, she's also a Paratriathlon World Champion. Yet this still only scratches the surface of the remarkable British Paratriathlete, Fran Brown. You'll hear: 07:45 Her amazing and very varied background in music and sport 16:25 How she went about re-learning how to walk and stand, following her spinal cord injury when she was working as a lighting technician in the West End. 22:50 Fran explains how she returned to climbing, even though she thought it was impossible and how she progressed to being multiple World Champion "I started climbing again, even though I thought it was impossible at the time" 32:30 How a talent ID day at British Triathlon opened the doors for Fran. I was swimming, I was cycling and I thought 'running can't be that hard' 34:30 The measures Fran went to in order to teach herself how to run. "Try it, film it. I can't learn by feeling, I have to learn by watching" I can walk very fast or I can run but I'm too imbalanced to go at that in between speed. I fell over loads basically. "I was on the team for 2 years before I could run a 5km without a walk break" 40:33 Her hatred of the words can't or shouldn't. "If I think there is a tiny chance I can, I will still try. What's the worst that can happen?" 46:15 Her Paralympic hopes, even though she hasn't been in a pool for a year because she is on the clinically vulnerable list. My focus is training and it gives me the structure I need. 51:40 Being diagnosed with Crohn's disease and having surgery in August 2020 and a stoma fitted. "As much as I didn't want a stoma fitted initially, it's actually really helped." "Define bad. I see it as a challenge I can learn from."

This week it's all about ultra endurance cycling. Guest Anna Haslock is Race Director for the Trans Continental Race (TCR.) It's a self-supported bike race across Europe, approximately 4,000km. The race was originally set up in 2012 by Haslock's partner, the late Mike Hall, who was one of the best endurance cyclists on the planet. They ran the race together for three years, until Mike's tragic death during a self-supported race across Australia. Anna has continued to organise the race following Mike's death and in 2019 the TCR caught the headlines around the world when a young German female Doctor, Fiona Kolbinger, won the race outright. You'll hear: 06:50 What makes the Transcontinental race so special? 07:45 How Anna got involved - she admits she wasn't interested in bikes or cycling before she met Mike! 18:43 Anna explains the GC race is 15 days, but some people have taken over a month to complete the event 20:23 We find out what makes dot watching so gripping 24:05 How Anna goes about planning the route and the check points 30:20 Anna's favourite part of Europe 34:45 Striking the balance between racing and fatigue.

Sophie Coldwell and Tom Evans in Conversation

Darren Hardy was in the military for 15 years before being discharged on medical grounds. After being diagnosed with PTSD, Darren has turned to ultra endurance challenges as therapy. In 2020, he took on the 10-10-10 challenge - 10 Ironman, 10 days, 10 locations to raise money for the charity Help for Heroes. Darren talks about mindset, perseverance and why he now embraces failure. You might find some certain things that Darren says about PTSD and the effects that it had on him distressing. You'll hear 04:46 Where the idea of the 10x10x10 challenge came from 08:42 Why failing was not an option "Failing it was my biggest fear." 09:37 Darren explains how he undertook the challenge, without having much experience on a bike. 11:30 We are very good at making excuses as a nation. i.e I'm not going to go out running in the ice. Good on differences between a driven and a motivated mindset 14:00 Darren explain how endurance events has helped him to deal with PTSD. "I suffer badly with PTSD and it's my management tool and I have learnt that I need to get out my comfort zone. And I learnt the definition for me of failure that it is a mere stepping stone to success and I believe you have to fail in order to succeed. 15:00 Talks about the process of being medically discharged from the army as being 'horrendous' 25:55 Darren explains why the message "its okay not to be okay doesn't resonate with him 35:35 Without Help for Heroes, I wouldn't be here. They got me to the point of 'I need to change my mindset' Find out more about this week's guest - Darren Hardy Darren Hardy https://watch.endurancesports.tv/perseverance (Perseverance film) from EsTV Darren Hardy's Justgiving Fundraising page Darren Hardy https://www.instagram.com/darren_hardy4 (Instagram) Like what you heard?

Darren Hardy: Dealing with PTSD through ultra endurance

We catch up with British professional Fenella Langridge who always has a smile on her face and lives with her coach and partner Billy in her Mum's pub in the south of England. Fenella admits she can be quite shy but she's loads of fun when you get chatting to her and she has a heart of gold. She finished 7th at Challenge Daytona in 2020 and she trains in the pool in Bath alongside Olympian Vicky Holland and fellow pro India Lee. Away from triathlon, Fenella loves spending time in the kitchen, wouldn't mind going on Bake Off and is passionate about craft work. You'll hear 04:22 How she's finding being in the UK over the winter for the first time in five years. 09:15 Her talk about her 7th place finish at Challenge Daytona and her incredible finish line celebrations (see cover art!) "This is really real. I'm actually finishing a race and I've come 7th" It wasn't just about the finish, but the two years going into it." 12:05 Fenella's GREAT on finding the early part of the season in the UK a bit tough. "I think need a finish line at the end of every day at the moment, to celebrate getting through another day . you're able to eat your dinner without falling asleep into it. 13:25 Talks about the team around her. "I'm the feeder, so I take that responsibility and I'm proud of that" 17:05 We talk about Fenella's love of crafts and baking 19:38 Fenella on relaxing and recovery. "It has taken a lot to just sit down and do nothing. If you need that mental release, then going out for a walk is fine, but if you need to recover for the next session, get your arse on that sofa and sit down. Accepting it and knowing it's the right thing to do and it's part of what we have chosen to do" 26:17 We talk about how Fenella brings Strength and Conditioning into her training programme "It's always been a key part of our training and that's been really present with Billy and his principles. At the end of the day if you want to be fast, you have to be strong and powerful. It's even more prevelent for older athletes for general health and bone health. We do two sessions a week and then a general session too. " 41:47 We touch on finances "I think I've broken even this year. It's not a lucrative career to be in" Find out more about this week's guest - Fenella Langridge Fenella Langridge https://www.instagram.com/fenella.alicia/?hl=en (Instagram) Like what you heard?

Fenella Langridge: The art of recovery

Sarah True is just a wonderful human being. Simple. I have so much respect for her and it was glorious to actually sit down over a cup of water and have a good natter. You'll hear: 07:00 Why she's been back at school this year as she prepares for her career after triathlon and why she's applying for a doctorate in clinical psychology "As you get older it's hard to anticipate what you are going to want to do. Where I thought I was going to be ten years from now is totally different to where I am and I am so grateful that I've had the time to do that." "I will be in school for another five years which is overwhelming but it's worth it. I am really interested by the subject matter and there is a clear goal in mind , to get my doctorate, so I can start working with patients." 17:23 Her belief that triathlon is actually a mis-fit for her 18:36 Why talking so openly about her own mental health struggles has helped her as an athlete. 25:52 Why she didn't race in Daytona and isn't a member of the PTO. 40:42 Sarah talks about what happened at Ironman Frankfurt when she collapsed just before the finish line. She also admits that listening to her coach Dan Lorang would have been wise. 46:33 Sarah explains why retiring as a professional athlete is so hard. 47:50 We talk about professional athletes coaching amateur athletes. "We are so focussed on ourselves that it's hard to relate to others."

Sarah True: Always learning

Endurance cyclist and adventurer Mark Beaumont joins Helen this week. In 2017 Mark broke the world record for cycling around the world, taking 78 days. Helen gets beyond the normal questions and answers with Mark and really finds out what makes him tick. You'll hear: 17:25 the idea of identity and individuality and encouraging youngsters to pursue their passions and not feel like they HAVE to conform. "That ability to commit to the things that interest you is far more important than the specifics of the sport you did" 27:25 Mark talks really well about the feeling of a void at a finish point of a big expedition or adventure and the greatest emotion of getting there is 'a bloody relief'. "The elation and happiness is often given for those around you so I find the finish line bizarre. Maybe it's too much." 28:15 When you finish a challenge, you don't change, but you quite often change in the eyes of other people and I don't think that helps you return to normality 34:49 If you don't have periods in your life, when you have a natural flow of arrows going in and arrows going out, I think you can end up a pretty unhappy person, because I think you lose that purpose and that connection in life. 35:34 If you are having a bad day, you're feeling sorry for yourself, things are going wrong, just do something that makes the arrows go back out the other way. 40:30 How do you cycle around the world in 80 days? "All that matters is ruthless consistency" 33:08 We talk about the idea of loneliness on long challenges. "It's ultimately a huge amount of time in your own head." 46:05 Sleep deprivation, cognitive function and emotions during long, record breaking endurance feats. "I definitely saw sides of my character that I didn't know existed" 50:10 - What's the Mark like on his adventures compared to the Mark with his mates or with his kids 53:23 We find out which stretch of road in the world Mark would most like to ride again and what's coming out of his headphones Find out more about this week's guest - Mark Beaumont Mark Beaumont https://www.instagram.com/mrmarkbeaumont/?hl=en (Instagram) Mark on https://twitter.com/MrMarkBeaumont (Twitter) Mark Beaumont https://markbeaumontonline.com/ (website) Mark's new book - https://shop.globalcyclingnetwork.com/endurance-how-to-cycle-further-book (How to cycle further) Like what you heard?
