Becoming Renata : Episode 137 with GB Agegroup Triathlete Renata Moriconi

Send us Fan MailFrom reluctant runner to international age-group athlete, Renata Moriconi’s journey is anything but typical.Renata grew up far from the world of sport—she hated running, never mastered swimming, and left cycling behind in primary school. Yoga was the only activity that stuck, on and off, throughout her early life. Everything changed in 2006 when her car broke down and she bought a second-hand bike, unknowingly setting the first stone on a path she couldn’t yet imagine.Years later, in her early forties, her youngest child’s commitment to competitive swimming, diving, and athletics slowly pulled Renata into an active lifestyle of her own. What started as occasional jogs with other parents quickly turned into something bigger. In 2016 she discovered a local triathlon group at her neighborhood lido—an encounter that transformed her life.Fast-forward to 2024 and 2025: Renata qualified for the Age-Group European Triathlon Championships, raced on the world stage in the AG World Aquathlon in Pontevedra, and competed in the AG European Triathlon in Istanbul.In this podcast, Renata shares the real, unfiltered story behind her late-blooming athletic career. Expect candid conversations about fear, identity, motherhood, beginners’ mindset, community, reinvention, and what it truly means to start—regardless of age or background. Whether you're an aspiring athlete or someone who thinks sport “isn’t for you,” Renata’s journey proves it’s never too late to redefine yourself.Follow Renata on Instagram @moriconirenataand Facebook : Renata MoriconiYou Can Follow us  onYouTube - AMP GBInstagram @amp_podcastFacebook : Richard Joseph Conwayfind all our episodes on our websiteWebsite is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/email: [email protected] you are an agegroup athlete and would like to come on the pod, get in touch.Support the show
