IRONMAN Wales: "Proving My Own Self-Worth" | Ep 464 - a podcast by Rob Wilby
from 2023-11-22T05:30
This week Coach Rob chats to Team Oxygenaddict Tullia Turner about her successful full-distance debut at IRONMAN Wales.
Tullia's story is one that many listeners will resonate with, as you hear how she used triathlon as a force for good when she was in a tough place mentally.
Rob and Tullia chat about:
- How Tullia's personal struggles motivated her towards IRONMAN glory...
- Her challenging historical relationship with food and exercise...
- How she managed her training around a busy, stressful work life as a teacher...
- Adapting to training LESS but in a MORE effective way with Team Oxygenaddict compared to when she was self-coached...
- Dealing with imposter syndrome and being one of a small number of female entrants...
- The feeling of standing on the startline and knowing it's one of the most special moments in your life...
- The importance of "protecting the second half of the run"...
- The feeling of getting off the bike KNOWING you're going to be an IRONMAN...
- The mental boost of passing 500+ people on the run thanks to a brilliantly executed race strategy...
- Reflecting on the personal growth and immense self-pride that IRONMAN has enabled...
- The importance of recovery in Tullia's progress and preparation...
- The purity of a motivation like proving something to yourself rather than racing the clock or other athletes.
