This week on the @Monday_mile_series, I’m joined by a lady who defines the word inspiration, @amydowden!
Known best for her time on @bbcstrictly as a professional dancer, she is the perfect demonstration of resilience and determination, she’s far more than the glitz and glam of the ballroom.
Amy was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at a young age, we chat about her battle with the disease, how it affected her early career in dancing and how she fought to not let it continue to do so.
Amy was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and is now a fierce advocator for early checks and proactive healthcare. We chat about her cancer journey; she shares the terrifying story of how she contracted sepsis and was fighting for her life. She also shares how important it is for her to use her platform to spread awareness and support others who are going through the same thing.
It was an absolute pleasure to have you, Amy!

S14 Ep3: NICK HOUNSFIELD ON CREATING AN INLAND SURFING DESTINATION, BLUE HEALTH AND CHAMPIONING FOR ACCESSIBILITY WITHIN THE SPORT
This week on the @Monday_Mile_Series I’m joined by a man championing for #bluehealth, @wavemakernick
Today we’re in Bristol, linking up with a man who, 12 years ago, had a big dream. A vision of how to bring a slice of the ocean, in land for more people to access it. Nick founded The Wave in 2012, the first inland surfing destination in Bristol, with sustainability and accessibility at the heart and the aim to bring year-round consistent surfing to both beginners and experts.
This week we discuss The Wave, his vision behind the project and how incredible it has been to watch it grow into something that so many people love.
He explains how he’s worked with the adaptive community from the beginning to ensure the whole place is accessible and that those with disabilities or cultural barriers, who previously wouldn’t be able to surf, now have the ability to do so. ‘Where are the barriers and how can we break those down, that’s what we’re about’
Nick also opens up about having a stroke, how terrifying it was and how it lead to where he is today.
It was so interesting hearing more about the project and getting to see it for myself was just breathtaking. An extraordinary guy with an extraordinary story!

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week.
Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’
Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week.
Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
