As a self-conscious country girl in France, I was terrified I would get fat. Even though I was already quite active, spending my time riding horses and climbing trees, I took up running.
Running became such a passion that I eventually ran 14 marathons. I even completed a 100km run in Egypt.
I also love cycling. Although I mainly concentrate on spinning at the moment, I’ve mountain biked in the Australian outback and climbed the grueling courses of the Alpes d’Huez, Mont Ventoux and Le Galibier.
Although these experiences gave me great insight into training endurance athletes, I now take a rounded, dare I say, holistic approach to fitness.
