Episode notes
From Marathons To Ironman Decision
- Isabelle started with marathons and an Olympic tri before progressing to long distances after enjoying open-water swimming and road cycling during COVID.
- She attempted a 70.3, paused due to family health crises, then later returned and signed up for Ironman after hearing the podcast and encouragement from friends.
High Achiever Inner Voice
- Isabelle says high achievers often struggle with a loud inner voice that undermines confidence despite being disciplined.
- External coaching helped her reframe perfectionist thinking and avoid overtraining driven by that voice.
Let A Coach Tell You To Chill
- Do trust a coach to tell you when to ease off instead of always pushing for more.
- Use their oversight to turn 'must do more' thinking into balanced, consistent training.
