Running

On this week's episode, Georgia Bell details her remarkable journey back to elite-level running. An outstanding junior, Bell was seemingly on course to become a star athlete, but after suffering series of injuries while on a scholarship at Berkeley, California, she walked away from the sport in her early 20s – seemingly for good. But lockdown and an impressive parkrun time convinced her to refocus on running – and she's now aiming for Paris 2024.
