Listen "004 From Inactive to Ironman with Caroline Bramwell"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode I speak to Caroline Bramwell who shares with us her incredible journey from living a more sedentary lifestyle and being diagnosed with a long term condition to taking back control of her health and becoming a triathlete. Hear Caroline's story and be inspired that you can start a new movement activity, whatever you choose and whatever your circumstances. About Caroline:A self-confessed couch potato, Caroline Bramwell turned to sport after having her large intestine and bowel removed and had to live with a permanent ileostomy as a result of having Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease. Dispelling the medical profession’s ‘you can’t do that’ attitude Caroline has completed two 24 hour cycle events (London to Paris and Newcastle to London), and now competes in all triathlon distances up to full Ironman.With her determination to prove that life can be good with a stoma bag, her story is the epitome of the self-belief that anything is possible and she has been inspiring others around the world.Her autobiography ‘Loo Rolls to Lycra: The Ironman Dreams of an IBD Sufferer’ was published in 2018.Website: https://www.carolinebramwell.co.uk/The Triathlon subscription box: www.thetriathlonbox.co.ukFearless by Louise Minchin (featuring caroline) https://linktr.ee/fearlesslouiseminchin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caroline.bramwell/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/carolinebramwell/Twitter: https://twitter.com/CarolineBramwelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinebramwell/Email: [email protected] Sarah:Sarah Bolitho helps fitness and health professionals develop their careers and grow their businesses by providing specialist training in teaching, assessing, and internal quality assurance, together with qualifications in exercise referral and disability.
