from Unstoppable With Shangrila Rendon · host Shangrila Rendon

3 Key Strategies from a Busy Single Mom Who Trained for Her 1st Olympic & Full Marathon, in Just 7 Weeks Most athletes know the feeling. Balancing training with real life, wondering if the big goal is just too far out of reach. Kristen, a single mom with two kids and a full-time job, had her eye on finishing her first full marathon this year and was already planning to race a 70.3 next year. When she told me her 70.3 goal, I said: "Let’s boost your confidence for that by getting you a strong Olympic finish this year." Then I asked, “If it were possible, would you want to do both this year?” She hesitated, unsure if she could handle an Olympic distance on top of full marathon training. Then she said yes. Before we started, the Olympic was in her “maybe someday” category. In only 7 weeks, using 3 key strategies, Kristen was able to: 🏁 Finished her first Olympic triathlon with hilly bike course. 3h 21m, 5th in her division 🏅 PR’d her half marathon 🏃‍♀️ Her run threshold pace is 8:15 min/mile 🏆 Won her sprint triathlon 🚴 Biked 40 miles for the first time 🏊 Swam 2 miles for the first time Crossing the finish line, she said: "I didn’t feel like I was dying. I feel great.” She’s feeling confident and strong The biggest difference: She stopped guessing and started training with a plan built for her busy life. If you’re ready to see what’s possible for you, no matter your schedule listen to this episode.
