#161: Operation Ironwoman with Emily Bond - from leg surgery to tackling every UK Ironman race in one season
About this episode
Emily Bond shares her inspiring journey from leg surgery to attempting every UK Ironman race in a single season.
Today's guest is the incredible Emily Bond @operationironwoman who will take on completing every UK Ironman race in a single season this year. After major leg surgery in 2018 and years unable to run, Emily has worked her way back from her first 5km to now pursuing the ultimate endurance test which will make her the first woman to achieve the feat. Emily was very kind to share her struggles and her aspirations and I know this will provide so much inspiration to listeners. The series consists of 3 half and 2 full ironman race between June and September.
