On today’s episode of Coaches on the Couch, Coach Philip has guest
speakers: Susie Cheetham, Angela Jameson and Emma Hatzis. The aim of this
conversation was to educate and empower pregnant and postpartum female
athletes in an informed manner while attempting to clarify and dispel any
myths or misunderstandings around pregnancy and endurance sport. In this
honest, transparent and enlightening episode, we cover a whole range of
experiences and lessons that these three experts want to share with you.
Susie Cheetham is a GB runner turned professional triathlete: Course record
holder at IRONMAN Hamburg, a frequent contender on Alii drive with 6th
places at the World Championships. Both Susie and her husband Rob are
coaches themselves. Susie is expecting her first child shortly!
Angela Jameson runs Physically Fit UK. Angela is overly qualified: after a
degree in sports science, she turned her hand as a physical trainer and
pilates instructor where she is a leading expert on pre and postnatal
pilates, health and well being. Her brother-in-law is ex-professional
triathlete Joel Jameson and so she understands the sport of triathlon.
Emma Hatzis is a top age-group triathlete, after being the fastest AG at
Staffordshire 70.3 in 2018 and the overall winner at IMUK in 2019, she
competed at her first World Championships in 2019. She also has been
dragged into this episode as she has the pleasure of being coach Philip's
wife! They are expecting in early January.
