Bobby Clay's promising running future was put on hold because she
over-trained and under-ate.

After winning numerous British titles and earning herself a team
GB bib, the young rising star's body broke.

''I got to the point where I sat down in the gym and my shin
snapped. It’s something we do every day and I couldn’t even do
that without breaking. If I can’t do that, how was I meant to
run.''

Now aged 21, Clay is competing in the UK national track cycling
championships as part of her recovery but still has Olympic
ambitions as a runner. She shares her story as a word of warning
to other young athletes.
