S12 Ep3: RICHARD WHITEHEAD ON INCLUSIVITY IN THE PARALYMPICS, RESILIENCE AND HIS LEGACY

This week on the #MondayMile podcast, I’m joined by the incredible @richard_whitehead_mbe; the double amputee athlete best known for his world record setting performances in the Paralympics and the full and half marathons. What can’t this man do?  We chat about the duality of Richard’s career - going from the marathon to the 200m and back again - and how he’s quite literally pushing the boundaries of sport to compete and advocate for disabled athletes.  Richard and I also dig into the topic of inclusivity in the Paralympics. He shares his thoughts on what can be improved, the responsibility on the shoulders of all Paralympic and Olympic athletes, as well as how all members of society can contribute. It’s quite the call to action. A hugely inspiring chat with an incredibly inspiring guy!

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? 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.
