In her case time was the healer, but reflecting back on her experience Lynn acknowledges that her approach to training and nutrition may have been contributing factors.
Overtraining and undereating/ incorrect fuelling are common pitfalls for the driven female athletes, but Lynn shows and shares why and how these can be sub optimal on long term performance, and how you can change for the better.
Aside from being an incredible athlete Lynn is a smart, ambitious individual, with aspirations to practice law. Lynn's story so far shows an inspiring journey of resilience and growth, and there is a lot to be learned from her.
