No matter where you finish in a race, you’ll enjoy this episode that was recorded in front of an audience at FeistyFest: Host Sarah Bowen Shea talks with triathlon coach and endurance swimmer Marty Munson and back-of-the-pack triathlete Ann Sywensky. They discuss:
-why you should lose the “just” and the “but”
-replacing comparison with curiosity
-using fun as a metric instead of pace
-the beauty of training by heart rate
-choosing a race suited to your strengths
Hosting solo, Sarah jumps right into things with the first guest.
