This week on All In Triathlon, we sit down with one of the toughest and most honest voices in the sport — Non Stanford.

Non shares her journey to the very top of triathlon, going from a part-time athlete to U23 World Champion in 2012, before becoming Senior World Champion just 12 months later in 2013. She remains the first and only female athlete to make that jump from U23 world champion to senior world champion within a single year.

But with rapid success came a heavy cost.

We talk through the years of injuries, missed races and lost seasons, and how it all built toward the emotional low point of finishing 4th at the Rio Olympic Games — a result that left Non in a very dark place mentally.

In this episode, Non opens up about how deep those struggles went, the pressure of elite sport, and how she slowly fought her way back — rebuilding herself both as an athlete and as a person — to once again compete among the best in the world.

A powerful and honest conversation about the real cost of elite sport, the ultimate highs, and the deepest of lows.
