I've been told from the start, 'Don't fall in love with the horses'. But that's so hard. I'm in awe. Victoria Pendleton awefallhard Change image and share on social
It's an evolution. The same team doesn't always dominate, and it goes in cycles. Victoria Pendleton cycledominateevolution Change image and share on social

I just want to prove that I am really good at something. And I haven't quite done that yet - at least not to myself. I know I could ride so much better, with more ease, with more finesse. I feel I'm nowhere near as good as I should be. Victoria Pendleton easefeelfinesse share on social

Oddly enough you'd think, now that I wasn't training professionally, I'd be able to enjoy a lie-in at the weekend, but I actually slept more when I was competing because I was so tired. Victoria Pendleton competeenjoylie Change image and share on social
I think just drinking juice is too extreme for a diet. Your body needs more than juice, so I think it's a very hard thing to do - very challenging and probably very unhealthy for your body. You can't get everything you need from a juice. I love juice because it can provide you with nutrients - but drink it alongside your diet! Victoria Pendleton alongsidebodychallenge share on social

Winning the gold medal should have been the happiest day of my entire life, and it just wasn't. It felt like the saddest day of my life. Everyone was so angry with us, that Scott and I had fallen in love, because it was so unprofessional, and we were a disgrace and had betrayed everybody.
