Is it not totally wild that the last time we got Emma on the podcast it was August 2021, weeks after her gold medal win at the Tokyo Olympics!? Today she is just days away from flying (back) to Europe for her final training camps and before the Paris 2024 Olympics. There aren't many Kiwis to have reached such a milestone (five Olympic games), and the privilege isn't lost on Emma. In this episode we discuss at length her current training regime, what that looks like, how it feels today 20+ years into her career compared with in her early 20's and the pressure, ins and outs of life as an athlete. When I speak with Emma I am always so in awe of what it takes to compete at this level - it's always inspiring and I think super motivating for us non-athletes just looking to be consistent with our exercise. We finish the chat with the quick-fire Q&A and naturally land on food. Thank you Emma for your precious time and thanks poddy pals for listening.
