Episode notes
Four-time Olympian. Commonwealth Games medallist. World Championships representative. And now one of the very few athletes on the planet to complete all 7 World Marathon Majors.
This week on The Perfect 10, Lisa Weightman joins award-winning host Steve Allan for a fascinating conversation about resilience, longevity and performing at the highest level for more than two decades.
Lisa reflects on the coaches and mentors who shaped her journey — including the legendary Dick Telford — the influence of her Dad, balancing elite sport with a successful business career, and why so many are now calling her ‘Wonder Woman.’
While 2024 presented enormous challenges, this conversation focuses on perspective, growth and the remarkable chapter Lisa is writing right now.
An inspiring and honest chat with one of Australia’s most respected athletes.
