The Shape I’m In: Aileen Reid

TRIATHLETE Aileen Reid is up most mornings at 5am, long before dawn splits the sky. 

Five mornings a week she is thrashing up and down the pool at 5.30am, covering up to 7km at a stretch.

She cycles four times a week and runs six or seven times a week. And while most of us relish a lazy Saturday, for Aileen it’s another opportunity to train and push her body to its limits.
