The below piece amused me.

Objective tests for CFS would be great. I somehow doubt by following her example I can become an elite athletics coach though.

She competed in women’s pole vault in the 2010 Commonwealth Games and had her sights set on the 2012 London Olympics. However, her training didn’t quite go to plan. Amanda noticed that she was struggling to recover from her training sessions and instead of being her usual bubbly energetic self, was quite drained throughout the day.
After months of looking for answers, Amanda was eventually told she had chronic fatigue syndrome. It was a diagnosis that resulted in her having to give up her Olympic dream, as her body needed to recover. It was during this time that Amanda’s passion for her health and nutrition flourished, as she experimented with different ways to get healthy again.

Fast forward to 2017 and Amanda is now a qualified health expert, exercise physiologist, yoga instructor, elite athletics coach. If all that isn’t enough, she’s also a Global H&M ambassador and the creator of Fresh Body Mind Fit, a series of online fitness and flexibility programs.
