In this podcast, 14 x World Champion Cyclist, Neil Fachie MBE and presenter John Mellis ask high achievers about their best habits and behaviours in an effort to build a tool box allowing everyone the chance to prosper at an elite level.

In Episode 6, John is in his element as he and Neil welcome the second Paralympic Gold Medal Winning Cyclist onto the programme - Neil's wife Lora. 

She tells her story of being raised in an almost entirely blind household, in a very determined sporting family - a life which led her to follow in Mum's footsteps in Athletics, and then away from it to forge her own path which eventually led to cycling after hearing a story about.....well, we'll let you hear for yourself. 

Yes, she talks about meeting and dating Neil, but how it wasn't all plain sailing. 

How heartache in London turned to delight in Rio, at the exact same moment her husband was going through the polar opposite situation in his own sporting career, how difficult it is for two incredibly competitive sporting individuals to live in the same household and about her passion for food, nutrition and cooking through her blog Blindingly Good Food. 

Oh, and there's a little bit about training for the Tokyo Paralympics as well, because Lora's competing too!

It's The 1% Club meets Mr and Mrs, and it's everything you'd hope for and more. 

Enjoy Episode 6 of The 1% Club Podcast as we welcome Lora Fachie.
