Episode Synopsis

Cat is the Poly's only wheelchair athlete. We talk about her early inspiration Tanni Grey Thompson at Sydney 2000, meeting your hero (and becoming friends!), the not-flat ness of the coast if you're in a chair, the GNR (and holding Mo off until mile 11!), customised chairs and dreams of Berlin. Such a positive and energetic chat in which I learned that there's more similarities than differences between wheelchair racing and running, it's just that the differences are obviously significant. Impossible not to feel positive after hearing this - huge thanks to Cat for coming forward and agreeing to light up this little podcast.
