Sarah Holden - The impact of an invisible injury and the journey back to the competition floor!

Sarah Holden is an athlete, mother and inspiration to so many - it was an absolute pleasure to talk to her and we know you will love this episode!


We dive into Sarahs background, her love for crossfit and if she's fallen in love with running since Hyrox!


Sarah opened up about her journey since discovering she had multiple blood clots in both lungs and heart strain. After pulling out of a Hyrox race in Milan thinking she was having a panic attack, to later find out it was a pulmonary embolism and had it been left untreated any longer she would have died is absolutely terrifying! We talk about how this has changed her outlook on life, how mentally it has affected her and what it has been like to get back to training and walk out onto that competition floor again.


We also discuss training as a mum, juggling it all and the influence you have on your children. We really do cover it all in this episode!!


A truly inspirational conversation, Sarah is raising awareness of Pulmonary Embolisms and highlights that you never know what someone is going through, life is short, make the most of it and surround yourself with love and support.
