Business of Endurance

From Rowing to Running with Victoria Thornley

14 Jan 2022

Description

Victoria Thornley competed in rowing at the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Olympics, winning a silver medal for GB with Katherine Grainger in the women's double sculls in Rio while she narrowly missed out on a medal in Tokyo in 2021, finishing fourth in the single sculls. She also won bronze and silver at the World Championships and gold, silver and bronze medals at the European Championships during her illustrious career. Now retired she is embracing ultra-running - not the obvious choice for a woman standing at 6ft 3. I wanted to chat to her about the highs and lows of the Olympics, how she learnt to calm her nerves on the start line, how she dealt with over-training syndrome and about the Sporting Giants campaign that took her from showjumper to Olympic rower. www.victoriathornley.comTwitter: @VickyThornleyGBInstagram: @vickythornleygbThis episode was sponsored by Precision HydrationTake the free Online Sweat Test to get some personalised hydration advice to test in training.Use the Quick Carb Calculator to understand how much carbohydrate you need per hour to perform at your best.Listen to our podcast episode on hydration strategy and the common mistakes athletes make on race day.Book a free 1-2-1 Hydration and Fuelling Strategy video consultation to discuss your strategy for your next event.Enter the code TRIBEATHLON15 at the precisionhydration.com checkout to get 15% off your first order of electrolytes and fuel.This episode was sponsored by The Trusted Team and 4th Discipline
