Rose Harvey: I joined a run club to meet friends, now I’m running for Team GB at the Olympics

Today’s bonus guest is Dr Chris van Tulleken, he's the author of the bestselling book Ultra Processed People, an infectious diseases doctor and broadcaster. Now for anyone who’s been listening to Big Fish for a while, you’ll know that this book absolutely changed my life. It’s an eye-opening exploration into ultra processed food and why we can't stop eating it. He looks at how this industrially processed food is designed and marketed to be addictive, why exercise and willpower can't save us and what UPF is really doing to our bodies and our health. I absolutely loved this conversation with Chris - you’ll find it utterly fascinating.

Frankie Bridge is best known for her pop career - she was a member of one of the UK’s most successful girl bands, The Saturdays, and pop group S Club Juniors, which she joined at just 12-years-old. She’s also the Sunday Times bestselling author of OPEN: Why Asking for Help Can Save Your Life and GROW: Motherhood, Mental Health and Me. In this episode we talk about the power of self-belief, her experience of being a child star and its impact on her life, and the challenges of comparison when you're in a girl band.

Welcome back to this Big Fish mini series! I'm so nearly half way through. Today I’m joined by Jasmin Paris, an ultra-runner who made history after becoming the first woman to complete the Barkley Marathons - one of the hardest ultramarathons in the world. Only 20 people have ever made it to the end of the race within the allotted 60 hours. In this episode we discuss how she physically and mentally completed this gruelling race with only a couple of minutes sleep.

Welcome back the The Great Desert Challenge mini series. Today I'm joined by Rose Harvey, who's running for Team GB at the Olympics - despite only taking up running professionally in 2020 after she was made redundant from her job as a corporate lawyer. She's utterly talented and inspiring, so whether you’re a runner or not - I know you will absolutely love Rose’s story and be inspired by the idea that you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
