Description
Up to the plinth to talk about running and motherhood today is Olympic athlete and Perri Edwards (formerly Shake's Drayton). Earlier this year, Perri announced her retirement from sport after 16 years of competing. After many years of life in the fast lane, this year Perri is taking on the huge new role of new Mum to son Mathew who was born just a few weeks ago. Just before Perri gave birth I chatted to her from her Mum's garden to find out how an athlete who's so used to pushing her body to the max embraced 10 months of change and what that meant for her running and fitness. We talk about how Edwards has adapted her running training and body goals in line with pregnancy and her new role as the face of Nike's new maternity wear that's just landed in stores. So let's get into today's show and talk about how an athlete approaches, fitness and sports kit with pregnancy in mind. Expect training chat, English garden sounds (and notorious north London Seagulls?) and stories of training with a bump. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
