Description
Series 2 kicks off with Olympian and former world champion athlete, Liz McColgan.
Liz had a glittering career in athletics on both the track, in the 10,000m and the road, in the marathon. On top of world titles, she’s also a double olympian, double commonwealth champion and multiple marathon winner. In fact her story around her debut marathon, coming straight off a track season with no Marathon training to go out and win the New York marathon is a must listen coming up.
From her early days growing up and the hurdles she overcame to succeed, to her coaching herself in her crowning achievements and training in a sauna in Scotland is all on its way! We also talk drug use in sport and the grey areas around technology creeping in as well. She is now a coach to others, including her daughter Eilish, a world class athlete too and on her way to the Tokyo Olympics as we speak.
It’s a great listen and we start with her own origin story and those first experiences of competitive running.

Dr Sherylle Calder - 'Little Things Make A Big Difference': My guest this week is Dr. Sherylle Calder. Sherylle was part of the staff that helped South Africa win the Rugby World Cup in 2007, having won the same tournament four years earlier in Australia with England. She's also worked in many other sports including Football, Cricket, NFL and Formula One and has also worked on an individual basis with some of the world's best athletes, such as Open Golf Champion, Ernie Els. Her specialism, that she discovered as a young international hockey player, centres around vision and improving all aspects of that, not just with elite athletes, but also young children and CEO’s. We talked about embracing natural talent, seeing the whole picture, sifting what information is useful and what isn’t, critical non-essentials and the effect of mobile phones on elite sport and life in general. Its another one of those episodes where we cross into many different sports and skills and it was fascinating by The Ben Ryan Podcast
