Namita Nayyar:
Skin care: You’re outside for hours. What are the three products you swear by for sun protection and post-training skin repair?
Emma Pallant-Browne:
Sorbet BB cream is my every day protection because it moisturizes and sun protects
Moisturizer I use Garnier holiday skin to keep that tan even
Sun cream I rotate factor 50 on whatever is on special so I don’t get sick of the smell
Namita Nayyar:
Do you have a “5-minute face” routine for when you have to go from a morning swim straight to a school run or media commitment?
Emma Pallant-Browne:
I wash my face with scrub, I put on my BB cream, quickly draw on some eyelashes (which the chlorine seems to kill) and I am out the door! If my eyes look really tired then I also add some waterproof mascara
Namita Nayyar:
Looking ahead beyond 2026: Do you see yourself chasing another full-distance Ironman World Championship podium, or are you focused on dominating the 70.3 circuit? What is the specific goal on your calendar right now?
Emma Pallant-Browne:
Right now I am focusing on running fast, I would love to win some of the big 10km races and half marathons over here in South Africa and then lead into a Marathon debut in Valencia in December and see how fast I can run there
Namita Nayyar:
You’ve won World titles in duathlon and aquathlon, plus European and World medals in 70.3. Is there a single race or title you feel you still need to conquer?
Emma Pallant-Browne:
I definitely want to still run PBs on the road. I have run a 10km and half marathon PB as a triathlete (off triathlon training) and now I really want to try and run the Olympic qualifying time for the marathon
Namita Nayyar:
Finally, on Mother’s Day 2026, if your child reads this interview in ten years, what is the one sentence of wisdom you want them to take away from your story of injuries, comebacks, world titles, and motherhood?
Emma Pallant-Browne:
That if you are passionate about something in life, never give up, no matter how many times you have to divert, you have to change plans or find creative ways to achieve your goal , keep doing what makes you happy and if it stops making you happy then go back to your why and get that happiness back.
