I think I might become a pescatarian. I love sushi, couldn't give it up.
From Victoria Pendleton
I think women are by nature competitive - secretly, privately within their own selves, on lots of different levels, on the way they look, perform.
I'm definitely capable of just enjoying riding my bike these days.
A car is a killing machine. It's like waving a loaded gun. People don't realise how dangerous they are.
Eating vegetarian in the past would have been a really bad choice as an athlete. Impossible. Just being able to get the amount of protein in was a mission. You couldn't be picky. I feel quite liberated by the fact that I can now quite recklessly choose vegetarian food.
There have been a lot of moments in my career when things haven't gone to plan.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
You have to make the mistakes and have those failures in order to learn from them and grow and improve... But for me, the best way to combat any of that beating yourself up or overanalysing, the most important part is always to be prepared to the best of your ability.
People will put restrictions on your ability, on your aptitude, on your talent, on your character, and to be honest, it's just opinion. Don't let anyone put you in a box or draw your path for you.
As you get older, you get more accepting - although, if you asked me whose body I would want, I would say Jess Ennis's at the Olympics.
