Phoebe Gill holds top spot when it comes to the 800m and 1500m, with multiple number 1's for the UK All Time rankings across U13 and U17 with a PB of 2.01.50 (800m), and 4.11.9 (1500m). So aside from a lot of talent, what does she attribute her success to? And what challenges has she faced, and how has she overcome them? A really insightful episode which discusses some key topics around athlete success, and finding the right balance between life and sport, and physical and mental training. If you ask Phoebe its ' 40% physical and 60% mental' so what does this mean? She might only be 16 but she has already got a great mindset with lots of valuable knowledge, perspective, and insight. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to follow @fitterfasterhappier on Instagram for updates, guest requests, feedback and more.
