About this listen

An intense and inspiring story of sporting triumph, from World, Commonwealth and National racing champion and Olympic silver medalist Lizzie Armitstead.

On the eve of the 2016 Olympic Games, the biggest moment of her life, Lizzie Armitstead's career was thrown into turmoil. After being cleared to ride the Games at the final hour following a successful court appeal to overturn an alleged missed drugs test, the ensuing leak and backlash threatened to engulf her. Now, for the first time, she tells her story and reveals how she went from world champion and darling of Team GB road cycling to one of the most scrutinised athletes in British sport - how it happened, why it happened and how Lizzie cleared her name and came out fighting.

In Steadfast Lizzie Armitstead takes the listener to the heart of the most demanding of endurance sports and the challenges faced by one of its most gifted competitors: from sexism and the fight for equality to doping and the incredible sacrifices required to self-coach herself to world titles.

From the rolling hills of Yorkshire through to the treacherous climbs of the Vista Circuit in Rio de Janeiro - through setbacks, life lessons and ups and downs of a professional life in cycling - Steadfast is an intense and inspiring story of sporting triumph.

Great, but slow start

Would you listen to Steadfast again? Why?

yes, women in cycling need more support

What was one of the most memorable moments of Steadfast?

account of the rainbow jersey

What about Lizzie Armitstead and Katy Sobey ’s performance did you like?

the whole book was great except the beginning. I don't care about her WADA admin story. I have a job that if I screw up once I loose my license and I am out of a job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

nothing extreme

Any additional comments?

The beginning is very slow and I had no interest in her WADA stuff, but everything after is great, really great. Katy talks too soft for me to listen to on the bike. I like to listen to these while on the bike, and I kept loosing my place in the story.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
