Mark, Lewis and Andy set out with great plans of discussing the highs and lows of athletics, both in terms of how they support athletes but also the impact the demands of coaching have on them... they covered about quarter of what they had planned!

Part 2 will cover the athlete side of things but in this Part 1 they dive deep into some of their experiences looking at how coaching can be both an escape from ‘real life’ but also a source of stress in its own right.
