Summary

Sir Chris Hoy is a British sporting icon who has battled his way to the top of the Olympic podium multiple times, but little did he know that the toughest battle was awaiting him in midlife. At the age of 47, Chris was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. In this episode, Chris opens up about the shock and emotion of the first few weeks and months, and how he tried to use all the tools he’d learned from his time as a professional athlete to get through the treatment that was keeping him alive. He is candid about how different his mindset is even compared to six months ago, and how his wife, Sara, has helped him to see how lucky they are as a family, despite receiving her own life changing diagnosis at the same time. Remarkably, Chris has found a way to stay in the moment and not hang on too tightly to a future that is guaranteed to no-one; this episode will certainly get you thinking about what is truly important in life.


For more from Chris, check out his autobiography All That Matters which is out now. Gabby and Chris also mention Professor Steve Peters’ book The Chimp Paradox
