Dame Kelly Holmes - 'Going For Gold'

We're back with another amazing episode of RunPod 'Going For Gold', and today we're delighted to welcome the legendary Dame Kelly Holmes to the studio!

From dreaming of Olympic success as a teenager, inspired by watching Sebastian Coe, to making history at the 2004 Athens Olympics with double gold in the 800 metres and 1500 metres, Kelly's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. She became the first British woman to win two gold medals at the same games, solidifying her place in sports history.

Join Jenni as she delves into Kelly’s incredible story—a tale of resilience, perseverance, and unyielding self-belief. Hear about the highs and lows that defined her path to success, and discover the mindset that propelled her to the pinnacle of athletics.

In this episode, Kelly also opens up about her deeply personal journey, as shared in her inspiring autobiography ‘Unique’, and discusses how she navigated the challenges of hiding her sexuality due to fear and ultimately finding the courage to embrace her true self.

Listen on for a dose of inspiration, motivation, and a celebration of one of Britain's greatest athletes.
