In this episode I talk to Iain Innes about his season racing skimo in the ISMF World Cup series, before going on to chat about longer team races and our season finale in the iconic Trofeo Mezzalama race in the Monte Rosa region of the Pennine Alps.Iain raced for Team GB as a downhill skier for over ten years, before switching to more mountaineering-centred activities. This season he has lived out of his van in the alps, training full time as a skimo athlete. Whether racing the furiously-paced skimo sprint, putting in big elevation days to Chamonix summits or cross training on foot or by paraglider, he has had a long and busy season. Trofeo Mezzalama is an Italian high altitude ski mountaineering team race in which pairs traverse from Breuil-Cervinia to Gressoney-la-Trinite, crossing the Monte Rosa massif and reaching altitudes of over 4200m. Named after Italian military ski mountaineer Ottorino Mezzalama, the race was started in 1933 and is one of the oldest and best known skimo races in the world.Due to the altitude and terrain involved, it is difficult to get perfect conditions on race day. Thus we were delighted to be met with exactly that: even atop the 4225m Castor there was no wind, perfect visibility and sun, with good snow and well established tracks. The race involves around 3200m of ascent over 40km and pairs must be roped together for the glacial section of the race.We talk through the preparation for this race, as well as race day itself, where an excited 320 teams set off at 5.30am on foot through the dark but crowd -lined streets of Cervinia.Iain is supported by Black Diamond, Augment and Tillicoultry Quarries.See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smp6_jYcbAY for a video of MezzalamaIf you want to buy me a cuppa to help support the podcast, thank you and please do at: https://ko-fi.com/finlaywild

Helen speaks with coach Adam Smith about the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape everything.From negative self-talk to the pressure to prove ourselves, Adam shares how he broke free from old patterns and now helps others do the same.Together, they explore how changing your inner dialogue can shift your whole life. Starting with just a few simple words.Here are the highlights:00:00 Introduction02:32 Reframing anxiety: the language we use shapes our reality09:48 Formative voices become our inner critic13:55 Why high achievers often struggle with low self-esteem18:08 Social media validation and the craving to be seen23:27 Shame vs guilt: the danger of attaching identity to actions27:09 Interrupting the spiral: the power of a more helpful thought32:13 Emotional regulation starts with letting yourself feel36:18 The healthiest choice might not be what you think it is42:26 “Have you had enough pain yet?” The question that sparks changeAbout Adam Smith:From depressed and suicidal to the happiest and fittest he's ever been, Adam's self-development journey hasn't been easy but it has been worth it. Today, he is a qualified in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and a certified Time Line Therapist®.He has coached hundreds of high performers, CEOs, celebrities, and athletes including Team GB, using NLP to rewire their thoughts and behaviours so they can destroy limiting beliefs and engineer the change needed to excel.He was working in hospitality, drinking in excess, and hoping to find happiness at the bottom of a bottle - of course, he did not.After a failed relationship, losing a job, and drinking too much, he hit rock bottom and wanted to end his life. After only what I can call a blessing, he was interrupted by a call from my Mum, and everything changed.He transformed his mental and physical health by starting small and gaining momentum.

From Paralympic pools to the English Channel, Melanie Barratt took on the toughest swim of her life — laying to rest her demons, and honouring her beloved mum.Melanie Barratt was born with congenital toxoplasmosis that left her severely visually-impaired. As a teenager she excelled academically but found it hard to keep friends. She found solace in the swimming pool where again she shone, earning a chance to represent Team GB at the 1996 and 2000 Paralympic Games. Despite winning gold medals at both, her confidence in the pool did not extend to her social life, where she struggled with self-loathing. One constant source of support however was her mother, who continued to inspire Melanie even after her death. It would take decades and a gruelling swim across the English Channel – earning a place in history – for Melanie finally to find peace.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Hetal Bapodra and June ChristieGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

The Written World was the Scottish Poetry Library's London 2012 project. To mark the Olympics, we launched a scheme to find a poem for each of the 204 countries taking part, which were then broadcast on BBC Radio. In October 2012, with the project over, we took the chance to look back on The Written World with its project manager Sarah Stewart. We also talked to Richard Price, whose poem ‘Hedge Sparrows' was chosen to represent Team GB, and William Letford, who the SPL asked to write a poem marking the end of the tournament. A trio of poets is rounded out by Mariama Khan, a poet representing Gambia at Poetry Parnassus, another international event linked to the Olympics.

Today's guest is with a former Team GB elite athlete, who was originally a 400 IM swimmer, turned 10km OW swimmer. She talks very openly and candidly about her struggles with competing at the highest level of the sport, recovering form injury and also an eating disorder which very nearly took her out of the sport altogether. Once she had hung up her goggles from the sport, she decided to swim the English Channel, after also completing the Straights of Gibraltar swim. As you do. This is a wonderful chat and it was my honour to speak to Amber Keegan…Season 4 is in collaboration with Ocean Lube the anti-chafing skin cream that protects your skin and saves our oceans.

In this episode, we're talking about strength - not weight, not size, but pure, functional strength. Because let's be honest, we can spend way too much time worrying about one and not nearly enough about the other!Strength is vital at any age, but as we hit midlife and beyond, it becomes essential. It boosts confidence, protects our bones, and keeps us active for longer. After all, what's the point of making it to 90 if you're too frail to enjoy it?To explore this, I'm joined by the brilliant Christien Bird, a familiar voice on The Happy Menopause podcast. A women's health physiotherapist with a passion for strength, Christien is in her early 60s, represents Team GB in triathlon for her age group, and has just signed up for an Ironman challenge - because she loves pushing herself! If anyone can inspire us to embrace strength, it's her.Together, we discuss:-       The barriers holding women back from exercise – and when they start-       Why strength is so important in midlife-       How it plays a key role in avoiding frailty-       Three different exercise personas - find out which one you are!-       Practical tips for getting started, even if you're feeling shyTune in for an inspiring and empowering conversation that will change the way you think about strength!If you love The Happy Menopause, why not share it with your friends and family?

In the summer of 2024 Harry Hepworth and Luke Whitehouse represented Team GB at Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Recently I had the opportunity to sit down and interview Dave Murray, Andy Butcher and Jaron Morgan three of mens program gymnastics coaches at the Leeds gymnastics club.

They talk about the hardworking culture that's the foundation of their coaching philosophy at the club. You can now watch our short film starring Harry Hepworth, Luke Whitehouse and then Leeds gymnastics clubs coaching staff on the Sam Oldham YouTube channel titled "Building Olympians | Harry Hepworth & Luke Whitehouse" and this is their story.

Anita then speaks to Dr Caroline Copeland, senior lecturer in pharmacology and toxicology at King's College London, about the term chemical submission, which has gained more recognition during the trial.Hundreds of women in labour are being diverted from their birth hospital of choice. Exclusive research done by the Health Service Journal found some were sent hundreds of miles from home to different hospital Trusts. The main reason was because of staff shortages or because midwifery teams lacked the right skill-mix for a delivery to be safe for the baby and the mother. Anita is joined by Health Service Journal Senior Correspondent Emily Townsend who carried out this investigation and Gill Walton, Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives, to discuss.Bryony Page, Olympic medallist and trailblazer for British gymnastics, made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning Team GB's first ever trampoline gold.

This is the first episode in a series of four podcasts made in collaboration with Redtorch, the research and creative agency that's been at the heart of Olympic sport for over 20 years, working for many of the key international federations. We've used Redtorch research insights several times on the podcast because they ask really good questions that seek to break the walls between the elite performance side of the industry and the participation, retail and sporting goods sectors. The idea for this podcast came from a conversation with Jonny Murch, Redtorch CEO, about a peculiar problem, which has a several different applications. It's about why the sports industry seems to find it so hard to get its message out to policy decision makers. This was a point reinforced in our recent conversation with Tracey Crouch, the former UK Sports Minister. She said, there is no social problem for which sport can't provide an answer. So why then doesn't government or other powerful groups listen? Why is sport not more central to decision making process when it comes to questions such as the health of the nation, the cost of the NHS or the obesity time bomb? Where is sport's voice at the top table of decision makers? Why isn't there a more powerful and coordinated lobbying group for the sports industry, in the way there is for other industry groups, such as pharmaceuticals, Big Food, oil or automobile? Myself and Jonny Murch are joined in this first episode by two people from a different part of the sports industry.Celine Del Genes is Global Chief Customer Officer at Decathlon, the giant sports goods retailer.Emma Zwiebler is a lawyer and a former Team GB professional international badminton player who is CEO of the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry, Visit www.redtorch.sport to learn more or call Redtorch CEO Jonny Murch on +44 7989 514 912 for a friendly chat with one of the industry's most respected marketers.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

"I genuinely told myself that I was born for it. On the start line, I kept saying that to myself. I was like, ‘I was born for this.' It just made me feel like I was totally meant to be there, and as long as I was going to be brave, I would be rewarded." My guest for today's episode is Georgia Bell just a month or so after her first appearance on the show where we detailed her remarkable comeback to the sport. Well…now she's an Olympic bronze medalist in the 1500m.  In the Olympic final, she shocked many – not really the CITIUS MAG crew – by running a British record of 3:52.61. She was just 0.05 seconds shy of a silver medal, but her perfectly timed push in the final stretch earned her a place on the podium, overtaking Ethiopia's Diribe Welteji by a mere 0.14 seconds. As Faith Kipyegon claimed her third consecutive title, Bell's remarkable performance capped an unforgettable night for Team GB. If you haven't listened to her first episode go back and do that because this one picks up right where we left off in her season build-up to her first Olympic Games and and how she made history in the race of a lifetime.
