S10 Ep3: Gabby Logan on the Lionesses iconic win, her ‘competitive’ household and Strictly disappointment

This week on the #MondayMile podcast, I’m joined by @gabbylogan for a very fast mile, I mean in pace haha. She’s been a dominant force on our screens anchoring some of the countries most historical moments in sporting history. Not only is she a Mother, a wife, she’s former athlete, a broadcaster, author, writer, and fellow podcaster. The word professionalism can be banded around lightly, however this women encapsulates everything that word defines. There’s great and there are The Greats, and Gabby Logan is one of them. On our (very) brisk walk, I chat to Gabby about her upbringing, including what it was like to have a professional footballer for a father, and how ever-changing lifestyle led her to appreciate change in her adult life and career. We speak about how it felt to commentate on the @lionesses historic win at the 2022 Euros, her iconic sign-off – ‘You think it’s all over, but it’s only just begun’ - and the progress and development of women’s sport   We also speak about her family, and the influence of their ‘competitive’ household. She tells me how proud she is of her fantastically talented kids, twins @reuben_logan and @_loislogan, and how proud she is that they’re pursuing their dreams, as well as how it felt to compete against her husband @kennylogan11 on Strictly Come Dancing   This is a special one – thanks so much for joining me, Gabby! See you at the start of the London Landmarks, Team Fuller and Logan Mum and Daughter half marathon it's on. Available on all podcast platforms now

What knowledge can they pass on?’ Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
