Rockstar Triathlete Miguel Brizuela

Coach’s Notes: Miguel came to me with the intention of crossing the finish line in a triathlon but he achieved so much more.

I’m so excited to share about his success because his approach to the Triathlon Transformation program was just to show up and see what happened.

He used our training sessions as the gym workouts he used to go to.

He learned HOW to swim, bike and run with our video evaluations and form corrections at the training sessions.

He learned what kind of foods fueled his body best and has even been complimented on his new shape, which was a positive side effect of learning what works for him.

He also learned how to use all the fancy equipment he purchased so that the information is understandable and his training is effective.

Now, after 3 sprint triathlons under his belt and 2 more planned by the end of the year, his new goal is Ironman.

Thank you so much Miguel for your happy smile at every workout and all the enthusiasm for your new triathlon lifestyle and trusting the process.

So excited for the journey ahead!

Choose Your Hard

Choose Your Hard

Which of these ways to spend a typical evening sounds easy, and which sounds hard?

A) You could go home after work and enjoy pizza and Netflix, or
B) You could exercise and then eat a healthy dinner.

Well… Trick question, right?

You’re SUPPOSED to say that the first one sounds easier than the second one.

And, in an “immediate gratification” kind of way, you’d be right.

But we all know that there is NO EASY WAY. Every choice we make in life comes with some kind of cost.

It just comes down to what you want to sacrifice for the “easy” way.

Look, getting healthy is hard for people. I get it. You have to set new priorities and follow through on actions to support them.

That might include not eating whatever you want or doing whatever feels best right now.

It might mean learning new eating and spending habits. All can be hard.

But being unhealthy is even harder.

Over time, it brings problems that far outweigh taking it “easy” through life.

Over time, if you’re not eating right and exercising regularly, you’re more likely to have health problems like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

You’ll become less able to do the things in life you enjoy. Your health care costs will steadily rise. And you’ll have missed out on all those countless opportunities to simply FEEL better, that come from healthy living.

So, it’s the “hard” path for me – health and happiness. Joining me?

I’m having a FREE facebook live event to help you learn how simple it is to choose what works. Join me for a “Nutrition Reset,” just before the holidays so you can prevent over doing it!

The Biggest Mistake you Can Make Right Now

I know what you are thinking…

It’s already October and I have not even started on my _____ (fill in the blank goal).

I’m so mad 😠 at myself!

Why didn’t I make this a priority?

Ugh, I really had all the intentions of doing XYZ but you know….

this happened………..Oh yeah and that too. And oh well, I’ll try again next year starting in January.

No, No, No! It’s not too late!!!

We have more than 10 weeks left in 2021.

You can reach so many goals in 10 weeks.

Lose weight, get faster, get stronger, do a 5k, 10k, triathlon and so much more.

Getting focused and dialing in is even more important as the holidays are coming up.

For some reason, the holidays give us the most legitimate excuse for not taking action on our goals.

Don’t let this be you!

Join me to help reach your goals in the next 10 weeks, through the holidays.

If triathlon, weight loss, and loving how you look like naked in the mirror is on your list of dreams- guess what? I’ve got you covered!

Let me help you create the confidence that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Get healthy and build your foundation for anything you desire.

Whatever it Takes

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Whatever it Takes

In all the time that we’ve been helping people enjoy a healthy lifestyle in triathlon we’ve learned what separates those who succeed from those who struggle or fail:

Determination.

Simply put, are you willing to do whatever it takes to take care of yourself and your health?

If you are, then nothing can stop you. But if you’re not, well… Let’s consider some of the most common deal breakers that could get in your way.

  1. I got too busy with work and family.
  2. I got sick and didn’t feel like it.
  3. I got a new significant other who takes up all my time and loves me the way I am.


It’s an endless list of “I gots” that can mess us up the most. But it’s only because we haven’t fully committed to doing whatever it takes. If we’re really willing to go to any length to train, eat right and more, then here’s how we might approach those obstacles.

We all have demands on our time. You have to commit to scheduling your workouts, shopping, meal prep, etc., and MAKE THEM A PRIORITY. Even when the kid is sick and the boss is holding you to a deadline.

We all get sick sometimes.   The key is to get back at it, as soon as possible.  As for the days when you just don’t feel like it, “well, let’s just say this: If you’re not actually sick, it’s still OK to take a day off here and there or have a cheat meal, etc.  Just don’t make a habit of it!

We all want love, but there’s  no reason you can’t manage time for yourself and time with them too.  It’s all about commitment and it helps to think about that word starting with a little “c” which means you only have to make the right choices today, realizing that’s how you build up long-term habits.

Over time, it’s those good habits that keep us from feeling overwhelmed.

One day at a time, the next best decision, day after day. That’s commitment.

Is yours strong enough?

Challenges and Setbacks Happen

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Challenges and Setbacks Happen

This will never change.

What can change is how you respond to them. I have been dealing with quite a few of these challenges myself and sometimes I think to myself-

“What the F?”

“Am I attracting this crap?” And I always ask WHY? But that never helps!

When I stop and look around for just one thing I can smile about, I know I can shift my energy. Also, getting out and moving in some way to release some endorphins can also help shift a negative out look on any given situation.

Sometimes it’s a butterfly that flies by, seeing my favorite Frigate bird overhead, or simply a green traffic lights all the way home (in Miami that would be considered a miracle) that can shift me.

Just being aware of the negative thought itself and choosing to repeat a meaningful mantra that is personal to you can help to break the bad habit of spiraling into negative thoughts.

I’m sure you know what I am talking about!

Things like…..

“Why does this always happen to me?”
“I always get injured!”
“When will I learn…” etc, etc, etc.

Instead, catch yourself in the moment and choosing a more positive thought can completely stop the spiral.

Say “Oops I did it again, I’m not going to go down the rabbit hole; I choose to see something positive out of this, whatever it is”!

Then, we can realize this is actually a normal part of an active busy life that we are choosing to lead.

We all have our highs and lows, and this is completely NORMAL!

The Yin/Yang symbol in the Full Circle Coaching logo reminds me that it’s all about finding the balance between the ups and downs.

Sometimes just sitting back and surrendering and breathing is the only option.

I’m reminded I’m not alone, when I hear from each and every one of you about all your amazing successes as well as your setbacks and that we are all in this together riding the waves of life and sport.

Would love to hear if there are any setbacks you’re dealing with…
Comment/hit reply and let me know.

Stop judging yourself for the up or down and just breath it in.

Say out loud “Be Here Now” and things will shift!

Namaste, The light in me sees the light in you!

Yes you can do it

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Yes you can do it

Self-confidence is so valuable, but it can be hard to find. So, if you sometimes doubt yourself, or if you’re going through a low-inspiration period, then let me take this opportunity to remind you of something important:

You can do it.

Really! You can do it. Whatever it is, whatever your position in life, whatever challenges you face… I BELIEVE IN YOU.

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by stress, negativity, and the demands of kids, work, and the home. We can stumble in our daily efforts to reach our goals. Miss a training session here. Fall off the healthy-eating wagon there. And, if we’re not careful, we can start slipping in our confidence.

So, in addition to my unbridled belief in you, I want to urge you to remember this: You will succeed through consistent effort over time, during which you sometimes will fall short of your expectations or be dealt a setback. Because you are – LIKE ALL OF US – a human being. When this happens, do not despair. Learn from it, dust yourself off, and get back on the right path.

Others have done it. So can you.

I don’t just believe it. I KNOW IT.

Would love for you to reply and let me know how this sits!

Interview with a Rockstar Triathlete: Urs Brunner

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Rockstar Triathlete; Urs Brunner

Coaches Notes: So very proud of Urs for his dedication to triathlon training remotely with Full Circle. It’s not easy staying motivated training on your own. If it’s important to you and you lean into the support we provide, you get what you need!

His successes over the past 6 months, prove that even though he is not a local Miami triathlete, the training plan, weekly coach calls, and support from the Full Circle Tribe can all be felt and big dreams can be realized.

Working together through an injury with modified training plans and strength exercises and shoe changes you were able to become the fittest strongest version of yourself to cross the finish line in your very 1st 70.3 Augusta.

Your race photos are amazing; you can see the smile and feel the joy and energy despite the heat with a race delay.

Way to show up for yourself, proving age is just a number and you can get faster with the right program and support!

Whoop Whoop! Can’t wait to see what’s next on your Triathlon Journey and thanks so much for letting Full Circle Coaching be your guide!

WATCH OUR LIVE INTERVIEW; Urs Brunner Journey to Augusta 70.3, 2021:
https://youtu.be/Owc-5KcPIQA

Age: Just turned 60 years old.
Profession: Executive Coach and Consultant

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I love the body, mind and soul approach and I love the tribe feeling. There is also great energy being a part of Full Circle and the coaches are fantastic, even for a remote athlete, like myself.

What is your “A” race for this season? My “A” race was the Ironman 70.3 in Augusta. I have never done an IM distance and I wanted to challenge myself as I turned 60.

Please share your BIG goals: First of all, I really wanted to be called an Ironman. The idea of doing such a long race was daunting and I knew it would require a lot of dedication. In February of this year, I made the decision that when I turned 60 in September, I would complete my first IM, so I signed up for Augusta for the September 26, 2021 race.

Tell me about your successes so far: I have been in and out of triathlon over the past 20 years. My biggest success probably is my overall fitness. I am faster at 60 than I was at 40. Just this year, I ran my PB for the half marathon and my 1-mile test never has been faster. I would also say that one of my big successes is my overall mental and physical health which I attribute to the structured training program and all the support from the coaching staff.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: 

SWIM – I am particularly proud of my ability to swim non-stop for the full IM 70.3 distance and I gradually increased my 800 and 400 test times.

BIKE – I invested in a aero triathlon bike and that increased my speed. I am now able to bike faster, at higher cadence with lower heart rate.

RUN – the run has always been my challenge but with the strength and interval training, I am now able to run off the bike much more comfortably and sustain a good run pace for a longer duration.

Nutrition – especially race nutrition was a big focus leading up to my IM 70.3. The guidance from the coaches was invaluable and I made a lot of adjustments, especially on the bike portion.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: 

1. The support and encouragement from the FC tribe and my family really had a great impact on me. They helped me through the training phase and especially during the actual race.

2. I had to overcome an achilles injury that limited my running early in my training. After physical therapy, running shoe changes and specific exercises from the coaches, I slowly recovered and I am now pain free.

3. I have committed my time to the training. Especially leading up to the “A” race, the training hours increased and I made a commitment that I would give it my full attention. This included time dedication and also lifestyle choices such as no more happy hour drinks!

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? I love the variety and technicality of this sport. Also, it is a sport that requires a degree of dedication and commitment and that fits my personality really well. Finally, this sport is challenging and I love that aspect. Achieving my daily training goals or race goals, gives me the motivation to stay active!

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? 

Just do it! Face your fears and be bold. At the beginning, it might seem scary to think of swim, bike and run all in one race. But you start slow and you build up. The structured program at Full Circle Coaching will guide you along your path and support you all the way.
