Stick or twist: Renee Kiley
This is the remarkable story of how triathlon has completely transformed Renee Kiley's life.
In 2014, the Australian came 252nd in her first ever sprint distance triathlon. “I pretty much walked the 5km” she says.
In 5.5 years, Renee has gone from weighing 104kg, with alarming blood pressure readings to racing in the pro ranks.
Long gone are the long, boozy Friday lunches, the 7 day working weeks in the office and the daily packet of cigarettes!
We go pretty deep in the interview, but Renee is ridiculously open and honest and she reveals she still struggles with her body image.
You'll hear:
*The 'lightbulb moment' that made her start to change her life around
*How she ran on the treadmill and avoided the pool at busy times when she first started exercising, for fear of what others would say
*The lessons she's taken from the business world into the triathlon domain and vice versa
*Her struggles with body image and disordered eating
