I finished Season 1 of the podcast by talking to the lovely Adelle Tracey. Adelle is a British Track and Field Athlete, competing in the 800m (for which she is a sub 2 minute runner!) and representing Great Britain on the global stage. Me and Adelle trained at the same club growing up, Guildford and Godalming Athletics Club, so it was really lovely to catch up with her and learn more about her athletic journey. We explore Adelle’s relationship with running from a young age to now, and discuss; her inclusion in the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, challenges that have allowed Adelle to grow as an athlete, the importance of maintaining love and appreciation for our sport, respecting and strengthening our bodies, and staying present both in our lives and sport. We also speak about how COVID-19 has shifted the running world, and discuss the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021. We go on to address Adelle’s exciting work with the Women’s Sports Trust Unlocked Program, which is raising visibility and increasing the impact of female sport. Adelle is also an ambassador for Dementia UK, the British Dyslexia Association and FitrWoman, where she is using her platform to pursue positivity. We complete our converstation by speaking about Adelle’s career external to the running world as a hair and makeup artist, and contemplate the benefits of possessing passions outside of our sport. We really hope that you enjoy this episode!
