Chrissie Wellington: Truly fierce - The undefeated Queen of Ironman

Four time Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington joins us on the podcast this week. It's such a fantastic, authentic chat.

We find out how she really felt when she wasn't on Ironman's 2020 list of 'fiercest female competitors' in Kona and why she believes her career only lasted for 5 years.

It's an interview full of wisdom, life lessons and Chrissie style inspiration.

We talk about:

08:06 How she thinks she would have dealt with things in 2020 if she was still an athlete
