Our guest this week is someone with Olympic, World and European medals. It's Emily Diamond. A team mate of Martyn's in the 4 x 400m relay. Emily talks about her early life as a junior tennis player and the hours of practice she put in. She was eventually talent spotted for athletics and moved sports in her teens. Emily talks about her career and her coaches who've helped her along the way to her medals. And how she now combines living in the South West at the weekends and in Loughborough during the week. There's a lot of takeaways from this podcast and a great discussion on the need for more research to help women athletes around the use of contraceptives and the menstrual cycle. She's a great guest.

In 2016, at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, Emily Diamond and her teammates stood on the podium after winning the bronze medal in the 4 x 400m relay. While the race to get there only lasted a few minutes, the journey started many months and years prior. Ever since Emily took up athletics as a teenager, she has been focussed, dedicated and willing to make sacrifices in order to reach the top. Sprinting is a sport with incredibly fine margins, meaning that immense discipline, determination and motivation is required to ensure every millisecond is gained. Sprinting is also hugely psychologically demanding, and in this episode, Emily explained in fascinating detail about the mental challenges of the sport and what goes through her mind during a race. At 29, Emily has already achieved so much – she's an Olympic bronze medallist, a European gold medallist, a World Championships silver medallist and a British Champion. Emily has started to use her experiences to give motivational talks at schools, inspiring children to participate in sport and pursue their goals, no matter how ambitious they are. We are grateful to Emily for sharing her journey, and we enjoyed learning about the mental challenges of sprinting and what it really takes to become an Olympian.

(32:20) Before the inaugural Athletics World Cup in London, Emily took time out to chat to the show all about her career in athletics.  While there have been medal successes the highs naturally come with the lows, with mental strength and striving to better yourself two of the biggest challenges the 27-year-old has faced.  As Emily keeps pushing, to be the best that she can be, she is also looking to share her experiences with the younger generation with one message shining through above all - sport should not be a punishment.
