It’s Your Life

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

It’s Your Life

One of the biggest reasons I see people fall off the health and fitness or, triathlon wagon is also the saddest.

It’s lack of support.

Be it a spouse, family members, or friends, one of the fastest ways people are pulled off track from reaching their goals is when they aren’t fully supported by those they love.

This happens for different reasons…

The person could fear what it means for the relationship if YOU change.

They could think you won’t be fun anymore.

They simply don’t understand; the way it makes you feel, the fun and the actual joy it can bring.

Worst case, they want to keep or assert control.

It can start with comments about why you’re not eating something at a social gathering, to giving you a hard time over your dedication to the sport and why you get up early and start skipping happy hour.

Whatever the case is, this is one of the easiest ways to quit on yourself.

But here’s the thing. You get ONE LIFE.

YOU are your top priority always. Why not live it your healthiest, most confident, most vibrant, and with the most impact?

You can even be the catalyst for change in your circle. Invite friends or family to join you.

But please… never, EVER let anyone talk you out of your journey and dedication to health, wellness and even triathlon.

Have you ever experienced this or know someone who has?

Either way, we’re here to support the best version of YOU. To help you balance triathlon in your life in a good way!

Comment below to let me know if you want my help.

Wishing you well,

Rockstar Triathlete Terri Camejo

Coaches Notes: Terri came to me as a person who wanted to compete only in Duathlon. She said she would never be a swimmer; that lasted about 3 months. She has done so much work in the water, coming from bubbles and floating to now getting out in the front of the pack, I could not be more proud!

Her cycling was always a strength and now with a power meter she continues to get strong. Continuing to strengthen her feet and ankles to handle the run has allowed her endurance to get better. I am super excited for her to go long after a few years of getting faster and stronger.

Can’t wait to see you cross the IM finish line Terri, you got this!

Age:  51

Profession: Teacher

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?   The coaches are excellent, always encouraging and supportive of my triathlon goals. I joined FCC at the beginning of 2017 and have come a long way from not knowing how to swim to competing in multiple triathlons. 

What is your “A” race for this season?  My “A” race this year is Augusta 70.3 with the intent of completing the race in 6 hours more or less. 

Please share your BIG goals:  My Big goal is to complete a Full Ironman next year. 

Tell me about your successes so far:  Gaining more and more confidence in the swim portion of my races has been by far my greatest accomplishment. With Erinne’s support, I have learned to overcome my fear of the water as I swim and now, I am able to relax and not be so anxious before or during the swim portion. 

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

Learning how to swim in the open water around a crowd of swimmers with waves and currents has been by far my greatest improvement. It is not enough to be prepared mentally, it takes hours of practice and patience to learn how to swim and be prepared for unexpected conditions.

FCC has helped me tremendously, for I was one of the last ones out of the water for my age group for a long time and just recently I set a personal record. In TriMiami, I was 3rd in the swim for my age group (first time ever) and in Trilogy 1; I was 2nd in the swim. Cycling has always been my favorite but even in this area I have learned how to pace myself better. As for the run, this area continues to be one that needs attention since I suffer from Tendonitis and at times it hurts during the run portion. Even in this area I continue to learn from FCC coaches.

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

1. Learning how to listen to my body and pushing when I know I can do more as well as taking it easier when I am tired.  This is key to preventing injury. 

2. Learning how to make better choices with my nutrition before, during and after a workout. 

3. The support and encouragement of family and FCC teammates are the greatest impact in helping me continue to exercise and participate in this amazing sport.  

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  

The energy and exciment you get from teammates and coaches is wonderful. Also, to see so many people all ages and sizes participating in triathlons. 

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

I am always encouraging people to start an active lifestyle by joining a training program that helps you stay motivated and helps you with your individual goals.

The Thing that Drives You

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

The Thing that Drives You

There are so many reasons that people desire to get in shape, lose weight, get stronger, sign up for a triathlon.

But the reason lies underneath the surface.

It’s not really about the number on a scale, how much the barbell in your hands weighs, crossing the finish line or anything really to do with being fit at all.

It’s our desire to FEEL a certain way. It’s the confidence we seek.

It’s the pride.

But it’s also often something outside of ourselves that is our biggest driver.

Our kids. Our grand kids. Getting out of chronic pain. Living longer. Getting off medications.

So, I’m curious, what’s the top reason you can think of that drives you to become your healthiest self?

Would love it if you’d comment and share with me.

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Find Peace in the Struggle

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Find Peace in the Struggle

Life is a combination of every emotion under the sun.

We live for the moments of happiness, joy, excitement, and all of the wonderful things that energize us, inspire us, and make us feel complete.

But what about the tough stuff?

Broken relationships, body disappointment, poor health and disease, financial struggles…

I believe that some of the most powerful growth experiences of our lives will always come from our struggles.

We won’t necessarily appreciate that struggle in the moment. In fact, we might hate it and question why something so awful is happening to us.

But there’s a lesson and opportunity for growth under it all.

When you feel these intense struggles throughout your life remember…

…Thousands or even millions of other people have also experienced this struggle and you are not alone.

…Life is cyclical and better times are coming.

…You can become curious about the circumstance rather than fill yourself full of fear and worry. Seek meaning and lessons. Ask what is the lesson in this experience for me.

…And simply know that you are up-leveling as a person in some way.

You will be stronger, better prepared, and a more solid individual from this experience.

I know that it’s hard to see opportunities in struggle, but I promise, if you can shift your perspective, not only will the struggle be easier to manage, but the experience also won’t be nearly as painful.

The only thing we can really control in life is how we react to things. Manage this well and so much changes.

I’d love for you to reply and share your thoughts with me.

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Rockstar Triathlete Richard Gomez

Coaches Notes: Richard has made some amazing improvements in just 4 months, its unbelievable!  Faster times in swim, bike and run and no more meds for reflux. As a CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach, this is ultimately the biggest and most improvement I like to see, because without good health you won’t achieve faster times and improved performances.  Way to go Richard, thank you so much for trusting the process and following the plan to the “T.”  When you do that, these are the results that are possible being part of the Gold Group!  Can’t wait to see what happens when we go VIP soon for your Ironman Journey!

Age: 43

Profession: Construction Manager

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? 
I had been doing triathlon’s and training on my own for a year and a half. After completing my first Half Ironman (Augusta) in 2018 I realized that if I really wanted to complete a Full Ironman I needed some help; specifically on the nutrition side. I did not feel well after my race; I was eating whatever I wanted and I really was just plateauing on my training. I had met Erinne through my sister in law a year ago during a Mack Cycle race. After my Half Ironman, and deciding I was going to try for the Full, I decided to give her a call and see what her group was all about. After a couple of meetings and attending a few of her classes I was sold.

What is your “A” race for this season? 
Lake Placid Ironman 2020

Please share your BIG goals: 
Getting my nutrition and reflux to a point that it does not affect my racing. Get my weight down to 150 lbs. and maintaining. 6 Hour Half Iron; Full Iron under 14 Hours.

Tell me about your successes so far: 
Before starting Erinne’s gut healing Nutrition I was taking prescription Omeprazole daily for my reflux and could not take any nutrition while running as it would cause my reflux to flare up. Since starting her program the end of January I have not taken one pill for my heartburn and am able to finally take in nutrition while I run. Plus I am weighing 151 lbs. and have been maintaining. (lost 25 lbs)

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: 
My swim pace and form has been drastically improved. I have PR’d every swim since I started training with Erinne. Biking was my strong suit before training with Erinne; however she did point out my bike fitting was not ideal. After getting this adjusted, my comfort level on the bike has been drastically improved, making my run transitions seamless. Aside from my nutrition, running has been my biggest improvement since joining Full Circle. When I started with Erinne my goal was to be at a sub 10 minute mile in a sprint triathlon. My last race I averaged 8:49 per mile. Almost two minutes better than my goal only after four months of training; and that is even with the fact that I had tendonitis that kept me from running for three weeks. Nutrition, I can’t say enough. Not more reflux or heartburn; I have lost 25 pounds; my diet is better than it has ever been, yet I am never hungry or craving junk food; I have cut back on my booze intake; and most importantly I am able to eat while training.

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

1. Nutrition and understanding how what I eat affects my training.

2. The tribe/group structure really does help push and motivate me on the days I don’t want to get up

3. Having someone to critique/observe your form really helps identify little form issues that you will never catch when training on your own.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? 
The sense of personal accomplishment and enduring the mental strain associated with endurance racing

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? 
First, getting with Erinne to understand your nutrition is life changing. Never really understood how important this was not only for the physical, but for my overall balance of Mind, Body and Soul. Second, as I stated above, the importance of having someone with Erinne and her teams expertise and knowledge to observe you and make subtle adjustments to your form, technique and training is immeasurable.

It Might as Well be a Horror Movie

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

It Might as Well be a Horror Movie

You want to do a triathlon.

You join the social triathlon club.

You show up on Day 1, fully committed, in your new fitness gear, and they tell you to swim, bike or run and you really have no clue how!

Suddenly it feels like all eyes are on you.

You start “swimming” or  what everyone else in the group of 200 people is doing and you slowly realize you are alone because everyone is faster than you.

Then it’s time to bike, except you have no idea how to handle a bike and not get killed on the city streets.

You can feel the sweat starting to build, but it’s from the sheer horror, intimidation, and embarrassment you’re experiencing – not the exercise.

You finally get to the run and realize this is the most exercise you have done in many months but you are willing to give it a try. Everyone starts sprinting and the next thing you know, you are hobbling because you pulled a muscle.

You leave the session totally demoralized and realize “I must not be cut out for triathlon”.

Rather than deal with the humiliation, you just leave to never return.

Of course, this is a slightly exaggerated story, but it is a version of a story we have heard from so many of our clients here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING.

And that’s why we’ve worked hard to create the most supportive, warm community around.  We have coaches to teach you how to swim, bike and run safely at your own ability, help you get strong before you get injured and include a nutrition program for health and performance!

We’ve got your back!

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Rockstar Triathlete Allison Freeland

Rockstar Triathlete Allison Freeland

Coaches Notes: .
I’m so excited that Allison and her friends have fallen in love with triathlon. I’ve known her for over 20 years and love seeing her improve with every training session. She shows up to every training session even if she can’t train and works on strength or core. She asks questions until she gets it right and has improved so much in such a short time. Three podiums in three, triathlons is pretty awesome! So proud of you Allison, way to bring it at every race and training session, YOU ROCK!!!

Age: 55

Profession:
I work for University of Miami School of Architecture as their advisory board liaison. I am responsible for all the board events and activities as well as graduate student internship and placement.

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I first started working with Erinne in 1998 (yes, 20 years ago). I was training for a marathon and wanted to add strength training. We started a neighborhood boot camp and she was our group leader! After the marathon, I decided to try her triathlon training program and did a few sprint races and an Olympic relay (swim and bike portion). Then life happened –  I got sick; my kids were born and I went back to work. I always worked out and stayed fit but I didn’t have a specific training or fitness goal for several years. In January, I decided to set fitness goals and the timing was perfect to rejoin Erinne’s triathlon training program. We have crossed paths many times throughout the past 20 years and I have always admired her dedication, passion and unwavering support for her tribe of athletes. So, I have literally come Full Circle back to Erinne!

What is your “A” race for this season? 
I don’t have a specific race in mind but my goal is to do an Olympic distance race (whenever Erinne tells me I’m ready 🙂

Please share your BIG goals: 
1. Always have goals. They keep me focused and on track. I write them down.
2. Train with friends (old and new). They inspire me, motivate me and keep me accountable.
3. Consistency of effort – it will always pay off over time. Tenacity and perseverance are two qualities I admire greatly.
4. Aim for a positive attitude, be there for others in their successes and struggles and use your “reset” button when the day goes off track.

Tell me about your successes so far:
I have participated in three sprint triathlons since April, and I have improved my times with each event. I love the swim. I am substantially more comfortable on the bike (still haven’t gotten to Aero bar comfort level) and I wish I could say I enjoy running but I’m physically improving.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following?
Swim: Best swim time was last week (7:25) for 400 yards at the Multirace Trilogy 1. I felt great (weather panic aside) and stayed off to the left of the group in my own space.

Bike: I didn’t brake on the downhill bridges.

Run: That’s a work in progress.

Nutrition/Health: I have Crohn’s so I have to be super careful about what I eat. I love sugar (candy and cookies) and I am working hard to overcome those cravings. The struggle is real. 

Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:
My last race was a new PR (1:16:13).

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: 
1. Consistency of training and holding myself accountable to the plan Erinne has set.

2. Following guidance and suggestions from Erinne, Dany and Dennis.

3. Injury prevention with PT and massage.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
I love the dynamics of cross training among swim, bike, run and strengthend being on a team of enthusiastic athletes who share mutual goals of fun and fitness for life.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
My favorite part is the daily training and showing up each morning to meet the group. I could skip the races and be happy just training with the group. Jump in feet first and give it a try. The group will support you.

Unless You’re in a Body Cast

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Unless You’re in a Body Cast…

O.K., well obviously there are other exceptions to this thing I’m going to talk about aside from being in a body cast, but I’m trying to make an important point…

So often people convince themselves that because one part of their body is injured, has pain, or is recovering from surgery that they can’t do anything.

Of course, you should always consult your doctor and in the case of major surgeries and the like, sure, REST + RECOVER.

But here’s the thing…  If your knee hurts, you can still get fit by focusing on upper body and core.

If your shoulder is injured, you can still focus on core and lower body.

If your back hurts, there are PLENTY of options for still getting fit while taking the pressure off your spine.

Maybe you’ve used this as an excuse before or maybe you believe it to be true that an injured body part means no exercise.

But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Here at FULL CIRCLE COACHING we know EXACTLY how to safely work around pain and injury so that you can still get your body healthy and fit. We have a tribe of support from @athletixrehab and amazing therapists. and chiropractors.  I myself am in the best shape of my life at almost 50 years old while dealing with an injury. It does not have to be either or, all or nothing when it comes to health and fitness.

Has an injury or pain been holding you back? If so, I want you to reply to this message and let me know what’s going on!

I PROMISE that in almost every case, there’s a work around. Let me give you a bit of guidance so you don’t hold yourself back any longer.

I have had many people come to me and tell me they cannot run. And after meeting their body where it is and building up in a safe and smart way they are running strong. “Everything is figure ‘outable'” as the saying goes from one of my mentors @marieforleo.

The 8 Exercises To Perform To Have The Body You Want

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs

The 8 Exercises To Perform To Have The Body You Want

I’m going to be honest – there’s a lot of hype in the exercise world today.

It almost feels like whoever can do the most creative exercises wins some kind of award.

But the truth is…that’s not a good use of your time because it’s not going to get you the results you probably desire – a lean, defined, healthy body that enables you to perform daily life functions and that will allow you to age gracefully.

And let me tell you – this is not about cardio and crunches!

Today I’m removing the fluff and sharing with you the EXACT exercises you need to do to get results. There are 8 fundamentals of human movement : Squat, Lunge, Push, Pull, Rotate, Bend, Walk and Run.

This list of exercises are all you need to perform a few times per week

  1. Deadlift
  2. Squat
  3. Lunge
  4. Chest pressing/pushups
  5. Overhead press
  6. Pull ups
  7. Rows
  8. Weighted carries

Are you surprised by this?

Of course, form is of the utmost importance when you weight train and the number of sets/reps/weight you use should be determined by your expert coach.

I guarantee if these exercises are consistently incorporated into your routine you will look, feel, and move the way you want to.

Need help with performing or programming these? That’s what I’m here for, we’ve got your back! Schedule your one on one strength session today.

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Rockstar Triathlete Dariana Cardelino

Coaches Notes: Dariana is such an inspiration with how far she has come in such a short period of time. Her smile and enthusiasm for the training is what makes this sport seem easy for her. Without any experience, she listens and applies what we suggest and the results speak for themselves. It’s tough to be a young triathlete and most 20 somethings do not have patience for this sport because it takes more time and dedication.

I’m so proud of the amazing goals you have achieved and Ironman will be in your pocket soon. Be patient and keep getting stronger and faster before going long! Keep Tri-ing!

Age: 28 

Profession: Social Media Strategist / Estratega de Publicidad Digital 

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?

ENG. Every year I commit to something that would enhance my personal development and health, but in the past I used to quit very easy if I didn’t have a clear short and long term goal. I am from Caracas Venezuela, and there I used to have a group of people that would go out and train with me, but here it was very difficult to find a good group. I ran in 2016 Michelob Ultra half marathon Ft. Lauderdale, for which I trained on my own, and after the race I completely quit training. This year I wanted to make some changes regarding my goals, and one of them was to FIND AN AWESOME GROUP. After looking into several groups in Miami, and asking about them to people that are into this “triathlon world”, I came across Full Circle, and that was it! I cannot be HAPPIER to have joined an amazing family that has become part of my life. It is a big change to have the encouragement, daily motivation, and the partnership we have in Full Circle. I have learned so much from everyone’s achievements and mistakes and “TriLife experiences” and everyday for me it is easier to wake up and train and keep it going race after race.

SPA. Mi principal meta al iniciar con FullCircle era conseguir un buen grupo con el que me sintiera como en casa y del cual pudiera aprender y compartir experiencias. Antes de FullCircle siempre me trazaba metas muy claras pero al finalizarlas, dejaba la rutina muy facilmente. Este año, despues de casi 3 años sin hacer nada y abandonar mi rutina de ejercicios, decidí conseguir un buen grupo para poder lograr mantenerme en el camino a largo y corto plazo, y así apareció FullCircle después de haber investigado a casi todos los grupos de triatlones en Miami. En definitiva, ser parte de esta increible familia, ha sido una de las mejores experiencias en mi vida. Es más facil con ellos sentirte comprometido con tus metas, ir a entrenar temprano, cumplir contigo mismo. He aprendido de los logros y los errores de los demás en el grupo y sin duda, no hay precio que supere ser parte de tan increible familia. 

What is your “A” race for this season? Esape to Miami – International Distance 

Please share your BIG goals: My biggest goal is to become an Ironman by next year. I don´t know which one yet. But that is the ultimate goal and the reason I´ve been training and signing up for short races this year. 

SPA. Mi meta final es poder completar un IRONMAN 70.3 el año que viene y es la razón por la cual estoy entrenando duro este año y  me he inscrito en varias carreras cortas. 

Tell me about your successes so far: My biggest success so far with Full Circle was completing my first Triathlon EVER in 1 hour and 21 minutes, with just 3 months of training. I placed 5th in my age group and 35 over 169 people in Mighty Mujer Triathlon. I felt so confident in the swim (I have never swam in a race before) and in the Bike that was my biggest fear, is not anymore, thanks to my training program and the support of my coaches and team. I am so excited and looking forward to PR in my next races.

SPA. Mi mayor logro hasta ahora con el equipo ha sido completar mi primer sprint triatlon con menos de 3 meses de entrenamiento, quedando en 5to lugar en mi grupo de edad y de 35 overall. También un gran logro ha sido superar el miedo a la bicicleta, siendo ahora una de las disciplinas que más me gusta gracias al apoyo de mis entrenadores y grupo. 

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

FORM: I thought I knew how to run, until I went to Erinne. My performance videos from before and after, and my overall performance, has nothing to do with before. It is a process I respected from the beginning and brought me huge positive changes. Same on the Swim, swimming is all about form, coach Erinne and Daniela have been helping me improve my form, and now I feel confident in the water.

SPA. Es impresionante los cambios que se pueden ver en la velocidad y en el redimiento durante una corrida y nadando cuando alguien experto te enseña cómo hacerlo. Erinne y Dany ,e han ayudado a mejorar mi forma en ambas disciplinas y hoy puedo decir que con solo tres meses de entrenamiento, el desarrollo ha sido increible. 

BIKE: from having no clue on how to use my clips, to ride 19 miles per hour average on my first tri and going on long rides with people I don´t know, it is amazing to see this and more improvements with time and dedication.

SPA. desde no saber como utilizar zapatos de gancho sin caerme de la bici a poder finalizar mi primer triatlon a 19 m/hr. average. o salir a rodar con un grupo desconocido de personas sin sentir temor de caerme. Es increible todo el avance que he hecho con solo 3 meses de entrenamiento. 

WEIGHT: I loveeee to eat, and even though I take care of my diet specially during week days, I am not frustrated anymore about weight and food. It is clever to have a good nutrition during the process, but as long as you balance it, you´ll be great . Also having the commitment of going to train during weekends, I have to reduce my late Friday nights and cut alcohol, I do not miss those days. Once you have a goal in your life, everything falls into place.

SPA. Yo amo comer, y desde que estoy en el grupo es facil controlar las ansiedades. Para poder tener un buen desempeño es necesario incluir algunos cambios en la dieta y comer cosas que nos traigan beneficios a nivel de rendimiento a la hora de realizar alguna disciplina. También el hecho de comprometerme a entrenar los fines de semana, ha ayudado sin duda alguna a eliminar el alcohol de mi sistema. Una vez te comprometes con tus sueños, nada se interpone en el camino, porque al final, es lo que quieres hacer, lo que te mueve. 

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

1. Coaches- entrenadores

2. Group –grupo

3. Communication and commitment with both – comunicación y compromiso con ambos.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

I would say the finish line. Crossing it strong and confident, makes me want more and see how far I can go. Managing my fears and facing them with knowledge and commitment. 

La linea de llegada siempre es buen motivo para finalizar un triatlon. Me hace querer más y poner a prueba mi cuerpo y mente para saber que tan lejos puedo llegar, con conocimiento y compromiso. 

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

It is incredible how much you can learn by your own, but is even greater if you have a coach to guide your steps plus a team that know exactly what you feel, want, and support you through the process. It might sound “cliche” but if you want to go faster go alone, but if you want to go far go with a group.”

Es increible las cosas que puedes hacer solo cuando te lo propones. Pero si tienes la ayuda de un coach que te ayude y guie tus pasos y de un grupo que sabe por lo que estas pasando, lo que sientes, lo que quieres y te apoye en el camino cuando lo necesites, vas a llegar más lejos. 

Gracias Coach!!!!!!
