The Checkpoint

This episode of The Checkpoint podcast is sponsored by The North Face® and we speak with Great British Olympian Michelle Griffith-Robinson. 

We discuss her career as a former GB triple jumper, where she was the first woman in the Commonwealth to jump over 14m. We talked about the time she met Muhammad Ali, plus we learn other insights into her journey as a life coach, mentor, trainer, and mum.

This was a powerful conversation where Michelle shared lessons she learned across sport and life, including diversity in sport. 

Additionally in this episode, we catchup with the BTR runners who took part in the recent Ultra X England 125 race in the Peak District.
