What is it like to be in a relationship with another athlete?

In this week’s episode, former elite cyclist and now PT Charline Jones and Scottish rugby player Lee Jones talk to PodCrash hosts Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes about sport, training and what it’s like to be married to someone equally as competitive as you…

Launching straight into the cycling podcast with this week’s news; Hindes is preparing for a trip to Valencia and has hailed his new extra fancy BBQ as the “best purchase of his life”. Meanwhile, Skinner went on a stag and caused a ruckus, and also managed to drop into Glasgow to give a talk on his top cycling tips. Plus, there’s banter around an Ironman and a bet that could go horribly wrong for Hindes.

Then it’s into the lives of Charline and Lee Jones. With a background in hockey, Charline explains how she’s always seen cycling as a team sport, even when you’re riding solo, while Lee gives an insight into the camaraderie he’s experienced playing for Scotland and the Glasgow Warriors. The main difference?  “If you get beat you can blame it on someone else I guess”. 

In this light-hearted episode, the couple also open up about what it’s like to be in a relationship with an athlete. From their competitive natures, to diet, training and holidays together. 

We also cover how the selection process differs between cycling and rugby and why it’s always good to be on the right side of the coach. Join us for chats on injuries, dealing with rowdy crowds and find out how Skinner made a tit out of himself... again.

Wrapping up, Charline shares how she found a new, rewarding purpose as a PT after retiring from cycling and Lee prepares for pre-season training for the Glasgow Warriors.
