Today's episode is with the phenomenal Ellie Lacey.
Ellie was a fit and active runner when her liver failed without warning and she needed an immediate liver transplant. Thankfully she was found a transplant with just 2 days to live.
Ellie was back running 2 months post transplant and competed in the Transplant Games just over 5 months post transplant.
A year post transplant Ellie managed to get pregnant and we talk about the impact of having had a transplant on her pregnancy, how she stayed active during her pregnancy with running and indoor cycling as well as whether being a runner helps with labour!
Ellie admits she started running too soon post birth and had to seek help from a physio to help with her weak pelvic floor.
Amazingly, just 8 months post baby Ellie competed in the World Champion Transplant Games and won gold in the 800m. Read more about her on her blog runbecauseyoucan.co.uk.
