Bethany Shriever "I gave it everything i've got"

In today’s episode, I head to East London to meet a woman who has just written her name in the cycling history books - Bethany Shreiver . She's humble, hard working, and riding the wave of success off the back of becoming the first British BMX racing cyclist in history to win both the Olympic and World titles in the same year.

During our Monday Mile stroll, we go off piste and take a track walk at Lee Valley Velo BMX track, the home of the 2012 Olympics, what's wild about walking this track is that Beth sat in the grandstands as a spectator in 2012, and 2 Olympics cycles later, we delve into her journey and her meteoric rise to becoming Olympic Champion at the most recent Tokyo Olympic Games.

Former Team GB double winter Olympian Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities who are excelling in their field, dropping a new episode every Monday.

Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?

Each episode drops on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. 

Dropping every Monday as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
