In a storied career Jo Pavey represented Team GB at five Olympic Games, more than any other track athlete. But it was in 2014 when she really captured the public's imagination when she won her first major title aged 40 - and as a mum of two - when she won 10,000m gold at the European Championships. One of the most down-to-earth and genuine runners of her generation, the Devon born and bred runner tells a facinating - and often funny - story of her journey to top level athletics. We talk backpacking, hot chocolate in the Olympic village with Kelly Holmes, being slightly tipsy in front of the Queen, family life, frustrations of competing against drug cheats and ultimately, gold medal glory.
