Meet Stacey Smith (Triathlete!)

Why did you want to do Triathlon: I want to do Duathlon/Triathlon as I love a new challenge, it is something I have been intrigued by for sometime and my body cannot deal with my running mileage anymore, I have had many injuries through Athletics and I look forward to trying something different. I genuinely enjoy the journey of training, pushing my body and working towards a goal.

What is your sporting background: I am a former professional athlete. I competed for GB in 800/1500m from 2008 to 2018, throughout this I have placed top 8 at European Championship and World Champs. I have also trained and competed in CrossFit and play golf for Ramside Hall too.

What attracted you to F4L: So many great referrals!

What are your targets: I want to enjoy training again and enjoy new sport, learn lots, build my experience and compete (hopefully this year)

Favourite motivational quote: The only constant in life is change

Favourite Training song / music track: Black and White Town – The Doves
