BEC HENDERSON // Elite Triathlete and Olympic Racewalker talks about the benefits of having multiple sports

Beyond Sport with Fiona Stewart

This weeks guest is a close to home one, Bec Henderson. I normally introduce guests by their sport, but with Bec she’s a multi-dimensional athlete. Bec and I know each other as we grew up swimming for the same swim club, where Bec specialised in the open water events. She then added triathlon to the mix as well as race walking. Debuting at her first Olympics last year in the 20km racewalk. In this episode we delve into the benefits of training for multiple sports as well as an insight into some of the nutrition and training studies that go on behind the scenes with high performance athletes.

I’ve always admired Bec’s balanced attitude when it comes to sport and training and it was a pleasure to take a bit of a trip down memory lane with her.
