Is social media making us better athletes — or making us feel like we're never doing enough?
This week we're diving into the influence of social media on athletes, and we've handed the conversation over to you. Listeners have written in with a huge breadth of opinions: from those who barely notice its influence, to those who find it motivating and inspiring, and others who feel the comparison, pressure and constant stream of achievement can have a much more negative effect.
We chat about why social media can be such a brilliant part of the sporting community while also exploring the potential downsides of always seeing other people's training, racing, results and seemingly perfect lives.
Plus, there are plenty of life updates along the way — Jess's house move, Bex's weekend in the Peaks and all the other things keeping us busy away from triathlon.
A conversation about comparison, motivation, perspective and finding your own version of enough.
And, as always, we'd love to hear your thoughts: how does social media affect you as an athlete?
