Trigger warning: This episode discusses eating disorders
Eating disorders are something we are still coming to understand as a society, and one of the things many of us don’t realise is that they can really affect anyone. Even an athlete, who has to be healthy to compete can find themselves with a disordered style of eating.
That is exactly what happened to Holly Harris, who quickly experienced the many different ways an eating disorder could effect her health and her life.
Holly has been a 6 x Australian Champion in multiple disciplines including XCM, XCO and Gravel and has represented Australia all over the world at world championships, world cups and world tour events. There are too many to fit in here but a few are:
2023 Australian 24hr Championships 2nd Elite Women
2022 Elite Women National Gravel Champion
2019 Otway Odyssey Elite Women Winner (One of Australia’s hardest MTB Marathons)
2018 Cape to Cape Elite Women Winner (One of Australia’s most prestigious races)
2017 Runner up Des Femme Grafton to Inverell (Females raced the same course as the Males).

Key Quotes

“I couldn’t listen to my family or my friends. I’d get really defensive about it. I think it really hurt a of my friendships.”
