On Episode 7 we chat to Lee Ross, a ridiculously sporty childhood, reaching the level of a semi pro footballer only to have his sporting world brought to an abrupt halt after suffering a broken back following a car crash. The injuries Lee suffered caused too much pain for him to continue sport, so he threw himself into his role as a sales person, driven to use his competitive streak in another direction Lee drove himself into the ground working 70 hour weeks and finally to burn out. what Lee calls a normal life working hard and partying hard saw him balloon to 18 and half stone. After a second honeymoon, Lee quit his job and started walking his dog and losing weight. Lee started park running and set a goal of a half marathon only to be struck down with injury in the final mile. Being told not to run for a few months, Lee turned to swimming and biking and finally joined his local Triathlon Club. Once back running Lee set out the goal to gain qualification as an Agegroup Athlete.
