In this episode, we're thrilled to have Olympian Andy Butchart, a standout figure in the world of athletics, joining us on the podcast. Andy is renowned for his incredible achievements and unwavering passion for his sport. For years though, Andy has been plagued by a condition known as Haglund's deformity, causing persistent heel pain, he recently decided to have surgery even though it means he will miss the Paris Olympics. He explains his decision and long-term vision of a commitment to returning stronger and better than ever.

Prof Mackay talks us through this common injury, also known as Pump Bump, why it happens, what you can do to try relieving it, and if all else fails, how surgery can help. Andy is recovering well and focussing during rehab on what he can do to stay strong. He has some great tips for others struggling with the same problem.
Andy's journey to the top began to gain serious momentum when he clinched the British 5000-meter title, a victory that earned him a spot on Team GB at the Rio Olympics where he delivered a stellar performance, finishing sixth in the 5000 meters final and setting a new Scottish record. He has continued to shine on the international stage - his versatility netting him bronze at the European Cross Country Championships in 2017. More recently he competed in the 2022 Commonwealth Games - demonstrating his versatility and endurance across different running disciplines. In his downtime, he also recently broke the Park Run World Record!

Jennifer is impressed by Andy's incredible enthusiasm for his sport, his positivity about beating his injury as well as his optimism for the future. Download this episode today.
