Show Notes
Lizzie Rayner is a British professional triathlete whose journey into elite sport began with a childhood immersed in many sports from swimming and hockey to cricket and running. She competed in her first triathlon when she was 12 years of age, inspired by the 2012 London Olympics, she rediscovered her passion for the sport and set her sights on a professional racing career.
Lizzie had a breakthrough in 2022 with a surprise win at the Outlaw Half in Nottingham, an achievement that allowed her to secure a professional triathlon license. Since then, she has raced with and against some of the best middle distance triathletes in the world. In 2024 in just her second season as a pro, she took the tape to win IRONMAN 70.3 Portugal, Cascais in a hugely exciting sprint finish. She went on to race at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Taupo New Zealand last year, rounding out her year with a 16th place finish on the world stage.
This year she has already finished twice on the podium with a 3rd place finish at IRONMAN 70.3 Valencia and a second place finish at IRONMAN 70.3 Pays d'Aix, steadily building her profile and trophy cabinet with some super results and performances.
This episode delves into Lizzies' training routines, fuelling strategies and goals for future races. Her sporting story to date is a testament to her approach to performance, perseverance and progress in achieving athletic excellence.
Although Lizzie is relatively new to the professional ranks of the sport of triathlon she is already making her mark and undoubtedly has a bright and podium filled career ahead in the sport.

Jen Done didn't grow up sporty. She swam a bit as a youngster, tagging along to galas beside a sister who was the 'sporty one of the family' and other than a handful of pre-baby marathons, a life in sport was never really part of her master plan. Seven years ago, after the birth of her daughter, she found herself in a very different kind of race, a race against postnatal depression so severe she could not get out the front door, convinced her husband and daughter would be better off without her. Dismissed as "baby blues" by three separate doctors before a female GP finally gave her the diagnosis and help she needed. Somewhere in the middle of it all, her husband suggested she try running again; she managed 30 seconds out the door and back. It was enough to change everything. That 30 seconds became a habit, and the habit snowballed; an IRONMAN 70.3 in Weymouth, her first full IRONMAN in Hamburg, the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona in 2023 racing with the IRONMAN Foundation. She launched her own podcast, 'The Toughest Finish Line', to share other people's stories of using sport to fight through trauma and mental health struggles and she is also a triathlon coach. A little over three weeks ago, Jen took on her biggest challenge yet: two full IRONMAN races, on consecutive days, in two different countries. IRONMAN Kalmar in Sweden on Saturday and IRONMAN Copenhagen in Denmark 24 hours later. In this episode Jen recalls and shares insight into her Viking IRONMAN adventure, the highs and the lows, the chaos to the calmness, from lost luggage, to the hectic hours before the race weekend even started and the nausea that almost derailed her ambitious racing plans which saw her become an eight time IRONMAN. Jen talks openly about her postnatal depression and the transformational journey she has been on since that 30 second run seven years ago. She reflects on what she's learned about her own capacity to cope, how strong she is and how far removed this version of herself is from the woman who once couldn't leave the house. This is a lovely episode centred on courage, resilience, self-belief and the importance of a loving support crew to help you take one small step at a time, even when that small step seems impossible.
