Bare Truth 98: Mike Holgate - Ironman Triathlete

07 August 12

Mike Holgate

I lived in Bath in the 80’s and there was a big group of runners who were the fabric of my daily life, a few in particular became friends and Mike Holgate was one. He joined our Health Club – Springs – in 1982, not long after we had opened, and was a member for the whole time we ran the gym until we left Bath in 1988.

Mike and I haven’t been in touch since, but recently reconnected through a mutual friend and twitter!

It was wonderful to speak to him after 24 years! He was only 24 when we first met and speaking to him over the phone to record this podcast, I could only imagine the 20 something Mike; he sounded the same! He was interested in running and living from a holistic philosophical position then and of course this has only deepened as he has explored going further in competition and facing his fear of water to become a triathlete – an ironman triathlete!
