My guest today is Lucy Gossage, one of the most successful Ironwomen in the UK in recent years having now won 13 Iron distance races. Lucy is such an enthusiastic guest and always a joy to chat with. She ‘retired’ from Pro racing in 2018 to concentrate on full time work as an oncologist but I’m pretty certain will still see her taking part in events and finishing high up on the podium.
This is another great conversation and we chat about several subjects close to Lucy’s heart including:
- How Lucy became known as the “Everyday Pro”
- Participating in a triathlon as part of a relay time and why YOU should try it
- Making a living as a pro athlete
- Why smiling helps your race performance
- Patagonman and the fun of triathlon tourism
- How much training Lucy does every week now that she is ‘retired’
- The inspiration behind the Cancerfit.me and 5kyourway.org
If you have cancer, are in remission, or know someone else currently in this situation and would like to know all about exercising while receiving treatment then please visit Cancerfit.me. 5kyourway.org is a community-based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends and those working in cancer services to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at a local 5k Your Way parkrun event on the last Saturday of every month.
If you would like to follow Lucy she is all over social media.
