An ebullient character of the UK endurance running scene, Hayley Yelling was a mainstay of the GB & NI cross country team in the early 2000s, twice winning individual gold at the European Cross Country Championships. She also won international vests on track and road including at the European Athletics Championships, Commonwealth Games and World Half Marathon Championships. But she narrowly missed out on the Olympic Games on three occasions, most closely in 2004, when she fell short of the 10,000m time by just 0.14secs. She looks back on her time in the sport, including the highs and lows, being in the same team as Paula Radcliffe, experimenting with hypnosis and the close relationship and rivalry with sister-in-law Liz Yelling.
