==Chronic fatigue syndrome == Sarah Storey became ill in her late teens with [[mononucleosis]] followed by [[Post-Viral Fatigue]], which then developed into [[chronic fatigue syndrome]].<ref name="BritishCycling2020" /><ref name="nztimes">{{Cite news |url = https://www.thenewzealandtimes.com/exclusive-interview-with-dame-sarah-storey-surviving-the-school-bully-has-equipped-me-for-the-challenges-ahead/| title = Exclusive Interview with Dame Sarah Storey: “Surviving the School Bully has equipped me for the challenges ahead”|publisher =The New Zealand Times | date = Dec 6, 2021}}</ref> Storey was ill with [[chronic fatigue]] for four years during her early swimming career, which left her unable to swim.<ref name="nztimes" /> {{Quote frame|quote="At that time, I was pretty much called a failure by the people in charge of swimming," she says. "I didn't successfully defend my world titles in 1998. I didn't warm up, I didn't swim, I literally ran and fell asleep on the physiotherapist's bed I was so exhausted. It was me with post-viral fatigue. I had to gradually rebuild myself by spending only five minutes a day in the water.

Along with some of those I mentored, I tried to prevent post-viral fatigue from turning into chronic fatigue syndrome, as it did with me."|source=The New Zealand Times, 2021}}
