The Level Playing Field
The Level Playing Field is an online sports platform which seeks to tell the untold stories of sport. We are now delving into the podcast world, with our first series about everyday women in sport. This podcast series is all about talking to 'everyday' women about their journeys with sport. A few months back, I put out a rather vague and blanket post on some public Facebook groups I'm on, asking if there were any young women out there who wanted to share their story and their experience with sport. They could be of any ability, any age, any sexuality, any race, anything! Unbelievably I received over 150 responses. This podcast series is therefore a short collection of interviews I did with various different women. Some are elite athletes, some are newbies to their sport, some do sports I'd never even heard of! Ultimately, the aim of this podcast is to either encourage you to get active, learn more about the sport we discuss, or simply just be inspired by the stories you hear.

My guest on this podcast is Mhairi Maclennan, who is an elite GB runner. She shared her amazing story with me about how she got into the sport and how she hopes to take it further, but also she very openly shared personal struggles she's encountered in the sport, as well as wider issues amongst women in the sport. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to tune in next week for another story about an everyday woman in sport.
