Non Stanford: No regrets - a podcast by Helen Murray

Non Stanford has been involved in and surrounded by sport for her entire life. She was destined for big things on the track and was 3x Welsh Schools 1500m champion, before being mentored by Dame Kelly Holmes. But injuries took their toll and Non made a successful transition into triathlon. She moved to Leeds and in 2012, she was crowned U23 World Champion. Just a year later, she became ITU World Champion.
But Non has had her fair share of ups and downs since. 2014 was wiped out by injury, in 2016, she finished 4th behind GB teammate Vicky Holland at the Rio Olympics. At the end of 2018 Non left the Leeds set up to join Joel Filliol’s squad. She won WTS Hamburg in 2019, before having knee surgery at the end of the year which put her hopes of a second Olympics in doubt.You’ll hear:
*Non open up about the disappointed after the Rio Olympics and ‘not dealing with it’ at the time*How she considered jacking it all in
*The key thing she has learnt from Joel Filliol “You don’t need to push really hard in training to race well”*The downside of pressure and being a perfectionist
*Her love for Geraint Thomas (as well as fiancee Aaron Royle, obvs), Taylor Swift doc and her Grandma’s welsh cakesLike what you heard?
