We were so excited in this episode to talk to the legend that is Lucy Campbell!

Lucy, a former swimmer for Great Britain, now the 16th fittest woman on earth, opened up to us about the transition from swimming to CrossFit. Lucy shared with us her highs and lows from both sports, as well as what a week of training would look like right now.

There truly is so much in this episode, it was a real honour getting to chat to this wonderful human!

Huge thank you to Lucy for giving us her time to chat to us honestly. 

We hope you enjoy the episode!

In this episode we were extremely lucky to be joined by Olympic champion… Anna Hopkin! 

Anna shared with us her own swimming journey so far, which isn’t necessarily the ‘normal’ route that the majority of swimmers take… as well as all the amazing coaches she has worked with, some of the most important lessons she has learnt and what it’s like to have a partner who is also on the Great Britain team! 

We are so appreciative that Anna gave us her time and believe that this is an incredible episode to learn from! 

Huge thank you to Anna for her time, we really hope you enjoy the episode!
