Business of Endurance Podcast
It is nearly time for season 7 of The Business of Endurance podcast to go live, and boy have we got some awesome guests in store for you. Meanwhile, not sure if you saw but Brit, Emma Pallant-Browne picked up her first win of the season recently as she put together a brilliant run to take the tape at IRONMAN 70.3 Alcudia-Mallorca. She has gone from strength to strength since we interviewed her on the pod; all pretty impressive for someone who’s running career was ended by a recurring knee injury. Sid and I got to chat to her about the benefits of cross training, cracking the nutrition and hydration challenges of the long course, being mentored by Dame Kelly Holmes and giving back to the community through sport.
