Episode Synopsis



What does success look like to you? How do we learn not to resist pain and discomfort and make friends with it?
Check out Lee Craigie's new book 'Other Ways to Win'
Lee Craigie competed internationally in cross-country mountain biking and represented Great Britain at World Championships and Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. In 2016 she became the UK 24-hour MTB champion. After retiring from full-time racing, she went on to set records on several self-supported bikepacking races at home and abroad.


In 2009, Lee founded Cycletherapy, a Scottish Government-supported project that used mountain biking to engage marginalised young people in the Scottish Highlands. In 2016, she launched The Adventure Syndicate to offer an alternative female sporting role model. She has also worked as Scotland’s Active Nation Commissioner, working independently of government to ensure the provision of fair, accessible spaces where everyone in Scotland can benefit from being active.


Her new book, Other Ways To Win, is out now with Vertebrate Publishing and is a memoir that reflects on success and the highs and lows in cycling and her life.
