Graham Bell meets journalist and broadcaster Louise Minchin.

Louise has a brilliant career across radio and television. She has worked as a host of BBC Radio Five Live presenting the drivetime show, plus a range of other programs. She was one of the main news anchors on BBC News 24 before joining BBC Breakfast in 2012. She's also a key presenter of the BBC's triathlon coverage. But Louise not only reports on sport, she also competes in it. She completed her first triathlon in 2013 and then went on to qualify for the GB team, for her age group, and raced in the Chicago World Championships in 2015.

Since then, she's raced in five World and European Championships and gone on to compete in extreme triathlons, including one of the toughest in the world, the Norseman in 2019. Louise has recently been absent from our TV screens recovering from a horrific foot injury, but thankfully she’s almost back to full fitness.

Graham and Louise discuss how to stay fit whilst juggling a demanding job and a hectic family life.
