Be A Badass Every Day Podcast

If every workout feels kind of hard… and you’re still not seeing the progress you expect—this is for you. In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most talked-about (and most misunderstood) concepts in endurance training: 80/20. You’ve probably heard that you should train “mostly easy,” but what does that actually look like in real life? And why do so many athletes think they’re doing it… but aren’t? We dig into: What 80/20 training actually means (and what it doesn’t) Why always training “moderately hard” keeps you stuck How to structure your week for real progress The mental shift required to trust easy training Practical ways to start applying this immediately If you’ve been training consistently but feel tired, plateaued, or like every session blends together—this conversation will help you reset and move forward with more clarity.

A question we’ve been getting a lot lately: Do I actually need a bike trainer to train for a triathlon? In this episode, we break down the role indoor bike training can play in your training — especially if you're balancing work, family, and limited training windows. We talk through: • Whether a bike trainer is truly necessary • The real benefits of indoor cycling for triathletes • How trainers remove common barriers like traffic, weather, and daylight • Peloton vs smart trainers vs basic trainers • When it makes sense to invest in one (and when it doesn’t) If you’ve been wondering whether a trainer belongs in your setup — or feeling overwhelmed by all the options — this conversation will help simplify the decision. Because like most things in triathlon, there’s no single “right” answer.

Not every race goes to plan, and those are often the ones that offer the most useful lessons. In this episode, Coral and Britt break down a recent 70.3 race with an honest look at what actually happened on the course. They talk through unexpected challenges in the swim, how they adapted on the bike and run, managing asthma on race day, riding and pacing without data, and making in-the-moment decisions to keep moving forward. This isn’t a recap focused on PRs or ideal execution. It’s a practical conversation about problem-solving on race day, adjusting expectations, and learning from a race that didn’t go exactly as planned. If you’re navigating training, racing, or a season that’s required flexibility and patience, this episode will feel familiar.

In this solo episode, Coral digs into a simple but powerful mindset tool that came straight out of a DM this week: you’re allowed to feel two things at the same time. Pride and frustration. Motivation and fatigue. Gratitude and grief. Excitement and fear. This is the heart of the Both/And Strategy — a psychological framework that helps you hold dual realities without slipping into all-or-nothing thinking. Coral shares how this shows up in her own IRONMAN training as a solo parent, a coach, and an athlete rebuilding in real time. If you’ve ever felt pulled in two directions or wondered why your emotions seem to contradict each other, this episode will help you make space for the full truth of where you are. You don’t have to choose one narrative. You get to feel both — and still move forward with clarity and confidence.

Setbacks happen — whether it’s injury, burnout, loss of motivation, or life throwing a curveball. In this episode, Britt and Coral talk honestly about how to rebuild when things don’t go the way you expected. Britt shares her experience returning to training after a major health challenge, and Coral opens up about rediscovering motivation through a slower, more grounded season. Together, they unpack what rebuilding really looks like — quiet wins, patience, and learning to let strength grow at its own pace. Because being a badass isn’t about always being on top of your game — it’s about showing up, even when you’re rebuilding.

After a wild, non-linear summer, we're back on the mic — catching up, reflecting, and getting real about what it means to pause on purpose. From Britt’s adventures in the Alps and Himalayas to Coral’s season of grounding at home, this episode dives into the power of rest, recalibration, and rediscovering joy in movement. Because even badasses need a break — and taking one doesn’t make you any less strong. It makes you human.

This week, we're recapping an unforgettable Tampa Bay BABES Triathlon weekend — from emotional finish line moments to the incredible stories of first-time triathletes (and a shared pair of shoes!). We reflect on the magic of an all-women’s race, the community that brings it to life, and what’s next for the BABE movement. 

Race plans don’t always go as expected—just ask Coach Britt, who toed the line at Ironman Chattanooga 70.3 only to face a canceled swim and an unexpected pivot. In this episode, Britt and Coach Coral break down what it means to reframe race-day goals, stay flexible, and find joy even when the plan changes.

This week, we’re digging into one of our go-to tools—the 10-Minute Agreement. Whether you’re feeling stuck, battling perfectionism, or just not in the mood to move, this simple shift helps you take action without the pressure. We’ll break down why it works, how to use it, and share real-life wins from ourselves and our athletes who’ve used it to build consistency that lasts.

In this episode, Coral sits down with Matt Scarborough, managing partner at Scarborough Bicycle Accident Law and presenting sponsor of the Tampa Bay BABES Triathlon. They dive into cycling safety tips, how to protect yourself legally as a cyclist or triathlete, and the importance of building a supportive endurance sports community. Matt also shares how his passion for riding inspired his mission to advocate for athletes on and off the road.
