REAL big goals achieved !

Karen completed her first sprint triathlon at age 68 and she just learned how to swim freestyle last year!

Evelyn completed her first Olympic distance Aquabike.

Liz finished her first half distance triathlon at IMWI70.3! We fit in just enough training to get her over the finish line despite intermittent back issues and a hectic working mom schedule.

Allison had a strong showing at the Pumpkinman Sprint triathlon.

Mercedes completed the Title 9 Sprint triathlon as fun cross training for her upcoming marathon.

💛💙

Coaches don’t schedule recovery days because we ran out of workouts.

Nope. Your body needs that time to rebuild and get ready.

You may hear athletes joking about Taper Tantrums, but here’s what nobody is telling them. (Save this for your next race)

Taper is the period of about 7-10 days before your race. It’s the time to relax, celebrate that you completed your training program and prepare to take your victory lap (that’s the race).

Think about it, you’ve trained hard for weeks, months, even years to prepare for what is coming up. Your body and brain are tired.

Take the rest you need so you’re ready to show up for what you’ve been training for.

If you’re feeling antsy, write your race plan, connect with friends you haven’t seen much lately and grab a journal to reflect on how awesome you are.

Swimming too technical?

All you need is this roadmap to unlock comfort and efficiency in the water.

Which step do you need most?

Not all athletes need the same kind of support. That’s why I love the mix of people I get to work with.

Growing up as a short, fat, smart kid in the band I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t fit in. I became the belonging coach so you don’t have to feel that way anymore.

Whether it’s conquering the swim of a triathlon, tackling your first marathon swim, or believing you’re an athlete in your own body no matter what the menopause transition is doing to you.

I’m here to meet you where you’re at and help you move forward towards your goal.

DM the word CONNECT to get started.

Every athlete starts somewhere…at the beginning.

Usually feeling like they’re not even an athlete or scared if they can achieve their goal.

It can seem harder if you’ve already been there…like the goal feels even farther.

Take it from me.

I’ve run lots of miles, including a standalone marathon and a full Ironman when the marathon comes after 2.4 miles of swimming and 112 miles on a bike.

After a year of not running at all, I’m starting…again. Sure I’m nervous, but I’m taking it slowly and allowing myself to enjoy the first time feeling, as if I never did ran before.

I’m using the September Streak Challenge to build foundations. I’m going to skip every day this month. Day 1 was getting ready to skip. Follow along in my stories to see the my progress.

Need some help getting started running or swimming? The only thing I like better than experiencing the first time feeling for myself is coaching athletes to their own first. Send me a DM and let’s chat!

Nobody explain goals like this.

You don’t need to set a time frame.
You don’t need to like what you’re doing.

Lean into the hard a little bit at a time and see what happens.

I’m taking 30 days to prep my body to run again. Will I actually run by the end if the month?

Only if I’m ready…stick around to find out.

Grab a front row seat and challenge yourself to ONE small thing all month long.
