In the final episode of Real Talk season one, Miriam Walker-Khan chats to two-time Olympic cycling champion Victoria Pendleton, double Paralympic gold medallist in archery, Danielle Brown, and Sky Sports pundit and former footballer Stephen Warnock about their retirements. They share what is for some, the pain - and for others, the relief - of leaving the dream they once lived.
