About this episode

Chrissie Wellington OBE is a former British professional triathlete and four-time Ironman Triathlon World Champion. She held all three world and championship records relating to ironman triathlon races and remains the world record holder for Ironman distance (8hrs,18 mins). But her success doesn’t stop there, she also has an MA in Econ Development Studies, is the Global Lead for Health and Wellbeing for parkrun and is a Sunday Times Best Selling author. 


As a child her dad told her to ‘seize every opportunity and make a mark on the world for all the right reasons.’ She’s certainly achieved that, and in this podcast, she reveals how you too can learn to trust yourself, believe in what you are capable of and be the best you can be.


Chrissie has released two children's wellbeing storybooks with friend and former athlete Susie Bush-Ramsey entitled You're so strong and You're so amazing, available to buy here.
