Ep 46: Mind over Musselman - Relaying Lessons from 70.3, with Dr. Michelle Quirk of Mindful Marathon

from Mindful Marathon Podcast · host Michelle Quirk, MD

What does a half Ironman teach you about running, racing, and doing hard things? In this episode, I’m recapping my experience at the Musselman 70.3, where I teamed up for the relay and coached my husband Tony to complete the full race. I’m sharing the highs, the rough parts (hello, ocean-like waves!), and the key takeaways that apply to any distance or challenge: trusting your training, leaning into consistency, and keeping your mindset strong when things get tough. Even if a 70.3 isn’t on your radar, the lessons apply to any challenge you may be facing. Whether you’re chasing a new distance, a PR, or simply showing up for life, this episode will inspire you to keep going when it matters most. *** To work with Coach Michelle, head to her website and click on Contact Me: https://www.mindful-marathon.com Follow Mindful Marathon on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/Mindful.Marathon https://www.facebook.com/MindfulMarathon​ *** The information contained in this podcast is intended to serve as educational information and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
