Louise Minchin speaks out on what 'propels' her out out of bed for BBC Breakfast at 3.40am

Louise is a seasoned triathlete, taking part in challenges all over the world, including the gruelling 226km Norseman in Norway last year.

But her love for fitness is something that not only plays a big part in her life physically, but in her role on-air too.

She described the presenting gig as “mentally exhausting” and that she gets through the shift by undertaking a triathlon training session beforehand.

“Tough [triathlon] training sessions have become the crutch I rely on to do my job,” she said.
