The Truth About Peloton Instructor Hannah Frankson

While Hannah Frankson works to inspire Peloton riders, it's hardly her first foray into the athletic world. She explained her athletic backstory to Harris Kuipers, writing, "I liked sprinting when I was about 10 or 11, then I found triple jump when I was about 16. I was good at it straight away. I broke the U17 UK all-time record (I'm 100% sure someone else has smashed it since I set it though!!!) so I kind of felt like it was the right event for me."

She was also picked to play for the England Junior Volleyball team after having played with her school. "My school had the best school team in the country and we'd always compete in the UK Volleyball Championships against proper teams," she recalled, "mainly because we had a PE teacher who loved Volleyball." But that didn't work out for her as she wasn't good at the "tactics and game plays. I was better at just running in a straight line and jumping into sand!" 

Frankson was also an extra in the 2012 UK film "Fast Girls," which starred Lily James, (via YouTube). The movie's about a relay team and how the girls "clash and come together." Frankson explained, "I went down to audition for one of the main parts, but I don't act so I wasn't surprised I didn't get in, but they kept me around as one of the extra girls on the relay team," (via YouTube).
