While Team GB Paralympic cyclist Dame Sarah Storey is breaking yet more records in Tokyo by winning her 15th gold medal, we revisit an interview from last year on the Mum’s the Word podcast. Sarah is Great Britain's most decorated female Paralympian with 14 Paralympic gold medals (and counting!). Sarah spoke about her experience competing at the top in track and road cycling whilst starting a family with her husband Barney. Training through both pregnancies and having c-sections for both births, Sarah built a team of support around her that helped her get back in the saddle, winning a world titles just months after giving birth. The women discussed breastfeeding and how Sarah made it work through training and competition by training around both her children’s schedule and picking her moments to get out on her bike so that she could still be there when her kids needed their mum. Sarah gave insightful and empowering advice for all mothers, not just the athletes.
