À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, I’m joined by Beth, a 22-year-old veterinary student and elite dragon boat paddler based in Nottingham. Beth shares how a simple home workout routine during the COVID lockdown sparked a journey into endurance sport—from running the Robin Hood Half Marathon to discovering dragon boating at university. Since then, Beth has gone from novice paddler to competing on the world stage, representing Great Britain at the 2023 Dragon Boat World Championships in Thailand. Now a coach, helm, and passionate advocate for women in sport, she talks about training, teamwork, and the power of inclusive communities. Beth’s story is one of grit, growth, and finding joy in pushing physical and mental limits. New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!
