I learned what I need to do in the long jump, what I needed to do in the javelin and I've been able to rectify those events. It's been a bit of a learning curve, which is good.

People who aren't perhaps that into sport are going to be following me and wanting to be part of the Olympics. That definitely does bring added pressure but as an athlete the Olympics are the ultimate competition.
- First Time
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was around 15 when I first wanted to compete in an Olympics. I even remember the first time I got to wear a GB kit as a junior. I've even kept it. It's in my mum's loft somewhere, probably gone mouldy by now.
- Experience

- Nov 07, 2020
I want to experience that massive adrenalin rush when you step into a new stadium, all the more so when that Olympic Stadium is packed full of people waving British flags.
- End

- Nov 07, 2020
It's quite funny in that I once won Rear of the Year at my school! I was about 17 in the sixth form and we used to have an end of year celebration and give out different awards. I even got a little trophy!
- Feet

I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.
- Know

I don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going.
- Compression
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.
- Help

- Nov 07, 2020
To get the adrenaline pumping between events - or to help me switch off, Jay Z, the Roots and Drake are on my playlist.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There was a massive poster of me down my road, right outside the chip shop. I was about to go in, but then I saw it and changed my mind. Me coming out with a bag of chips, while I'm up there doing crunches on the poster... well, it would not look good.

I wasn't the kind of kid who would get A's without even trying. I had to work to get good grades, but I was very organised about it because I always wanted to do well at everything I did. I'm very competitive.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Things have changed so much, with Facebook and Twitter. Everyone is so much more accessible these days: no British athlete has ever experienced what we are experiencing now. It's such a unique situation with the home Olympics.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Training is full-on. Some days I really don't want to get out of bed and hit that track again. Sunday and Monday morning sessions are always horrible. But who really looks forward to going to work on a Monday morning?
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We always spend more time on the throwing events and a little bit more on the long jump. They're my weaker events - they don't come as naturally to me as running and jumping. I like the hurdles and the high-jump, I'm a springy, speedy athlete so those suit me.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there's going to be pressure on all the British athletes. It's a home Olympics at the end of the day. I like adrenaline, that's something I feed off. I'm just going to go out there and do my best.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to think of life after competing. But if I were to do anything else I'd go down the psychology route. That's what interests me.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's really important for me to look good before a race. I definitely think if I feel I look good, it makes me feel more confident.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love getting dressed up for red carpet events and having my hair and makeup done professionally - that definitely helps with nerves of going down the red carpet.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To unwind after training, I love to have a long hot soak in the bath, then veg out on the sofa with a box set. I'm a box-set junkie! I absolutely love 'Grey's Anatomy.'
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love championships. That's when I want to be at my best. I love those environments. It brings the best out of me.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As soon as I had a child, he became the priority. Now, I fit my training around him. I've changed as an athlete.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is a need to be the best you can be. You can't panic; you concentrate. When I run up to the hurdles, I'm very nervous, but I'll tend to think about technical things to keep my mind focused.
- Cheering
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The closer I get to retirement, the more I feel it will be a huge change, a shock, because athletics has been the core of my whole life. I know I'll miss the feeling of running fast, the adrenaline rush, and hearing the crowd cheering me on.

- Nov 07, 2020
Motherhood has changed me as a person. I'm much happier and very content with life. That can only transfer positively to the track. It will make me a better athlete.
- Push
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have always been small and one of the smallest heptathletes out there. And earlier in my career, I was faced with coaches and athletes who felt I was too small to be a multi-eventer. It gives you a push to show you can do it.

- Nov 07, 2020
Being a mother changes perspective. Things that were once really important, the sole focus of your life, aren't the same.
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To be confident going out and performing, I need to be with my son for as long as possible; then I know I'm happy, and he's happy, and I can go out and put all my energy into performing.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started training with school friends and, one by one, they all dropped out. When we became teenagers, it seemed more exciting to go shopping at weekends. My mum told me not to worry about what my friends were doing and to stick at it.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started training again four months after giving birth, and it was strange not to be fully in control - I'm so used to my body performing at a certain level, but it wasn't. I was like, 'Oh, man, can we go back to where we were, please?'
- Little Things
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get my competitive edge from my mum. When we're together, we're competitive about little things - it'll be, 'I can bake cakes better than you can.' But she's never been a pushy parent; she's always just supported me.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After I stop competing, I'd like to do something that inspires people to get active and fit.

I don't wear strappy tops. Everyone feels self-conscious about something on their body. It's just finding a style that works for you, and I don't really suit strappy tops or dresses, so I avoid them.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always said that you're obviously doing something right if you have got pressure on you.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that's one of the first things you'd say if you met me: that I am just nice and smiley. And that's how I might appear when I'm not competing. But I'm totally different when it comes to sport. It's just something that seems to be within me. It's not external or visual. But it's within me.
- Known
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always known what I wanted. I've always wanted to be on top of that podium.
- Conflict
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I dislike conflict, so I do try and steer clear of arguments. Apart from with my coach. Who I literally have an argument with every day.
