From growing up on the breadline on a Dundee council estate where prospects were limited, Liz McColgan rose up to be one of the world’s great long distance runners. As well as winning London, New York and Tokyo Marathons, she was World and Commonwealth 10,000m champion, Olympic silver medallist and broke numerous world records. She speaks with typical candour over her life as an elite athlete, including the incredible highs such as becoming World Champion to the lows of an insect bite ruining her bid for Olympic glory. In retirement she turned to coaching and in summer 2022 her daughter Eilish followed in her footsteps by winning Commonwealth Games gold in Birmingham on an unforgettable night. A must-listen episode with an incredible woman.
