Here’s Content that will…

This blog post contains content that will generate the happiest, most confident, most vibrant, most successful version of YOU should you choose to follow these instructions… (read to the end to receive a little guidance)

  1. Get crazy clear on your goals – what do you want in life right now that you don’t currently have?
  2. Create a plan – what do you need to do to bring your goals into reality?
  3. Declare it as truth – sharing goals publicly is a great way to ensure you do what it takes to achieve them.
  4. Get support and accountability – we all need someone by our side to keep us focused and push us back on track when we fall off.
  5. Take action every single day – implementation is the only way to get results.
  6. Celebrate the wins – keep yourself focused on what you ARE accomplishing to stay motivated instead of focusing on where you feel you’re lacking.

These are literally the steps to creating anything you want for your life.

We build things up into being so much more complicated than they ever need to be.

Those who’ve achieved great things and seemingly impossible goals have done it by advancing one step at a time… and you can too.

So, what will your choice be? Will you follow these instructions to your happiest, most confident, most vibrant, most successful version of YOU?

Or will you deny or delay this amazing thing that you SO deserve?

Please comment and let me know your thoughts! As well as, register for my Facebook Live Challenge next week, where I will be taking 3 days to show you exactly how to set up your 2020 year for triathlon success using these steps as a guideline.

Something Bigger

Something Bigger

I know I’ve been going on and on about my Ultimate Tri camp or bragging about all the amazing accomplishments of my Rockstar Triathletes, but this is bigger because it’s not about me or Full Circle Coaching. This is about abused and neglected children being able to find a safe home in the USA and how there is a solution.  And just because you are reading this you are actually helping. Keep reading to find out how.
In June 2020, I have a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) of riding my bike with 3 team mates across the United States to raise awareness to this solvable problem. It’s called Race Across America or RAAM. and

I’m going to donate $10 from every athlete I coach every month January to June for this cause “4Cyclists4KIDS Race Across America” www.4kids.us/amazingrace2020

I have been looking for a cause to align with. One that fills my heart and gives me more reason to be of service and have a purpose. I learned about 4Kids from Nick Vajucic at a talk he gave about not letting physical limitations stop you. If you don’t know him, he is an absolutely amazing human being – no arms or legs – married with 4 kids of his own and he helps 35 or more children through the 4 kids organization. He surfs, sky dives, swims and sweeps the floor – all with help but that’s the point! Help.

So, I’ve decided to help too.  So thanks for being a part of my BHAG for 2020. If you are interested in helping me out in other ways besides just being one of my athletes, there are lots; 

  • Invite me to bike with you, I need to bike a lot in the next 7 months, I can use some company. I just started a cycling streak, I’m riding every single day in the month of December. Join me!
  • Buy raffle tickets for your chance to win some pretty awesome prizes including a free entry to Ultimate Tri Camp ($999 Value). Look for upcoming details.
  • Donate a few extra dollars if you feel so inspired for Giving Tuesday- http://www.4kids.us/amazingrace2020

Now that you know one of my BHAG’s (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), I would love to hear about yours! Please post in the comments a big intention you have for 2020, or share a cause you are passionate about. Can’t wait to see your replies!

Are You Having Fun?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Are You Having Fun?

If not, then what’s the point?

Are you competitive to the point that you just aren’t having fun anymore?

Do you train alone and miss out on the friendship, camaraderie and fun of training with others?

Are you so busy comparing yourself to others that you are missing out on the journey?

Gabby Bernstein’s new book Super Attractor was a gentle reminder to me that “it’s good to feel good.”

Triathlon makes me feel good. It shifts me from any negative feelings to positive ones in the moments I’m training and racing because there is no time to think about anything else when you are in the moment.

Being around other athletes training and racing is part of the fun. Every athlete I coach actually performs better in this environment.
Yes, solo training is necessary too but the energy of others carries you much further.

We all benefit from celebrating the successes and supporting each other in the struggles to accomplish the big goals we set for ourselves. It isn’t always easy so this is when it’s important to remember “its good to feel good” and have fun!

In honor of having fun, I invite you to our Bring a Buddy week of training December 9-14.

I promise we will have a ton of fun training but at the same time making it fun.

Register for BUDDY HERE!
if you are not friends with anyone currently in the Full Circle Tribe, please accept my gift and be my buddy for the week!
And remember, it’s all about feeling good. “It’s Good to Feel Good!”

There Are No Rules

There Are No Rules

I use this saying a lot. And I believe it. I truly believe each one of us has to figure out personally what works us as individuals. We are different, have different needs within our training, racing, relationships, lifestyle and of course nutrition. Have you noticed how many diet fads and trends are currently circulating the market?

And ask any person who is ALL IN with one of these ways of eating, and their philosophy behind eating that way is nothing short of dogmatic.

And I’m sorry, but that is NOT how nutrition should ever be.

Because there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to eating healthy.

Of course, common sense tells you broccoli is healthier than potato chips…that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m talking specifically about the dogma of nutrition.

  • Keto is the ONLY way.
  • Intermittent fasting is THE way to lose fat.
  • Count macros or be overweight forever!

These are the kinds of philosophies that are circulating, so I wanted to acknowledge the ridiculousness of it all.

If you focus on eating lean proteins, some good fats, plenty of vegetables, and drink lots of water…and you don’t overdo it on portions, you’re good.

Seriously…it can be that simple.

There are plenty of countries around the worlds that practice simple diets without the dogma, and because of what’s available to them in that culture, it just works.

People are lean effortlessly.

At the end of the day, the amount of choice we have when it comes to food is overwhelming.

My best advice? Keep it simple. Focus on what I shared above, and watch your body lose fat effortlessly.

If you still need help understanding what real food is; I’m offering a gift just for the holidays, now through Dec 2, 2019, receive $100 off my 1 month Simple Nutrition Program, all the details can be found here and use this discount code HOLIDAY100 at checkout.

Wishing you well,

Long Course 70.3 & Ironman Nutrition Blog – Zoom Recording

This was a recorded call I did with my long course athletes who are racing Ironman and 70.3’s in the next few weeks.

There are suggestions for meals the day before the race, caffeine recommendations, and brands I personally use and recommend.

A few athletes asked questions that are important for everyone.

Recover Quickly

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Race Specific, Recovery, Ultimate Tri Camp

How to Recover Fast

I have athletes that don’t fully understand the benefit of tapering for a race. They show up on race day feeling flat and tired and wonder why they don’t get that podium or personal best.

It’s definitely a skill to be able to tune into your body and feel if you are recovered from training or not. There are so many tools these days that you can track your training and use an APP to tell you if you should train hard or you need to recover. I use Garmin, HRV, TrainingPeaks to help my athletes gauge their level of fatigue but there is an inner knowing as well. I believe in just asking your body and you usually get the correct answer. But will your ego allow you to rest? That is the question. So, I say experiment with different amounts of easy/ recovery days after blocks of training days and find your own sweet spot. If you need to recover in a hurry these suggestions below work great!

Other things to consider about your recovery/ taper leading up to a race. Is it short course or long? Is it an A, B or C race? “A” priority races definitely require a bigger longer recovery leading into them , IF you want to have that peak performance. “C” races can be trained right through.

How many days you take is individual to you and your circumstance.
As a rule, the longer the race the longer the taper.

Ironman taper can be from 2-3 weeks,
70.3 can be 7-14 days
Olympic distance 5-7 days and a
Sprint 3-5 days.

Some athletes need more or less depending on age and experience level.

With all that being said, if you need to get recovered fast, here are my top recovery recomendations and tools.

Sleep: Did you see that article about how much sleep Roger Federer gets a day? 12 hours!

Studies show sleep is the absolute best, legal ergogenic aid out there. My minimum RX for fast recovery is 8 hours, but 9-10 would be better for 2-3 days minimum. You will feel like a kid again with tons of energy after you get this much sleep.

Do some Working IN (my definition of building energy instead of depleting it).
Examples of working in are taking a restorative yoga or Tai chi class. Don’t have that much time? take 10-20 minutes and walk barefoot or simply lay on the earth, on the grass or the sand on a beach. Get in the ocean, lake or even a pool and just float around (not training). Meditate. Practice silence and listen to nature.

Breath Work – 1,3,5 or 10 -20 minutes of just sitting or laying and breathing. If you type in ” Breath Work” into YouTube search there a ton of videos teaching you how to breath to improve energy. Try one. or check out Wim Hof – The Ice Man and follow his breathing techniques on Youtube.

Ice Bath- This can be uncomfortable but works sooooo well and is so worth it. As little as 2 minutes a few times a week combined with above breath work and meditation is like magic for resetting your nervous system and actually proving effectiveness against anxiety and depression! Even a 1 minute cold shower can stimulate the nervous system in a positive way. Check out my video here- on my Wim Hof Ice Bath Experience
(I am so excited to have just taken my first Wim Hoff Breath class and will be including his breath work and ice baths at my 2020 Ultimate Tri Camp! Check out the Video Here )

Massage – Getting a deep tissue massage every or every other week can really help your muscles stay supple and recover quickly. 
Contact Jeff Lindsay, he’s an FC favorite!
305-720-7920 / For a soothing or invigorating in-house massage.

Compression Socks – After a training session massage and an ice bath put on your compression wear for improved circulation and ultimately faster recovery.

Normatec or E Relax – or any other brand of segmented compression can improve circulation and help you recover quickly

Hyperice Hypervolt, Theragun Vibration Therapy or Marc Pro and Compex can all be helpful modalities to help your muscled recover quickly and of course there is good old fashion

Have You Made This Critical Mistake?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Have You Made This Critical Mistake?

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve seen clients making over the years when they come to me is that they’ve spent months or years trying to piece together information from too many different sources to help them change their bodies, and lifestyle to achieve results.

  • A workout from YouTube here.
  • A recipe from Pinterest there.
  • A new random 7-day body transformation challenge next month.
  • Then a 10-day cleanse after that.

Maybe you even feel like you’re on track at some point.

But then, in line at the grocery counter you see a magazine that shows you the next best thing to…

You find yourself distracted, switching gears, and in another new pursuit.

Does this sound familiar?

If so, you’re not alone.

People today are far more confused than they need to be when it comes to getting the body, health and performance results they desire.

Piecing together random bits of information creates confusion, not transformation.

If you are looking to buy yourself speed, positive change and results in your body and lifestyle, there’s nothing more effective than following a proven plan and having accountability for that plan along the way.

That’s exactly what we do here at Full Circle Coaching. Want proof? Check out all of my Rockstar Athlete Blogs on my website here, and read about all the stories of transformation. You will be blown away.

If you’re ready to get better results faster and sustain them long term; We are here for you and super excited to support you!

Recipe: What’s in my Super Green Smoothie?

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Nutrition, Recipes

Recipe: What’s in my Super Green Smoothie?

What is in your smoothie?  

Most athletes make smoothies with zero live ingredients in them and if you are eating this on a daily basis you are not getting a lot of nutrition. 

Smoothies are a great way to get a lot of calories in quickly along with some good healthy vitamins and minerals- IF you are adding better ingredients!

It makes a huge difference in recovery and energy after training, not to mention all the good greens, fats and antioxidants you can get without cooking.

You may notice there are not as many fruits in my smoothie recipe. I choose to limit my sugar intake daily, even from fruit, to help stabilize my blood sugar. If I’m feeling low on energy, I will throw in a banana and some berries or an apple to get some extra carbohydrates from a healthy source.

I prefer to get my carbohydrates more from vegetables. 

Since I have done this, my energy stays consistent throughout the day and I don’t have highs and lows in my blood sugar which helps stabilize my energy and mood. 

I check the labels of every product I use and look for products that have the fewest number of ingredients to limit my toxins as much as possible. If I don’t know what an ingredient is, I look it up and learn about it. Many times it’s a toxic filler or emulsifier that I just don’t need to be consuming.

Protein powders are the worst. Most are filled with “crapola.”

You can see the protein powder I use below is from grass fed goats and has 3 ingredients. 

I also LOVE the Paleo Valley 1 ingredient Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein.

I stay away from plant proteins that cause gas and bloating.

Never use soy protein because of the terrible absorption rate and you need twice as much as whey to get what you need, not to mention most soy in our country is genetically modified!

Feel free to add almond butter or any other fun healthy ingredients you may like.

Here are the ingredients – Try it out and let me know how you like it!
