Is it Really Easier for Some People?

Is it Really Easier for Some People?

Sometimes I look at other women/men my age who seem to have it all and make it look easy.

They’re fit, healthy, and radiate self-esteem. They have the relationship and the business all figured out.

It’s like everything just fell right into their laps.

But then I remember what someone said to me one day when I was talking about my commitment to leading a healthy lifestyle.

“Sure! That’s easy for you to say,” she said.

But, trust me, being fit and healthy isn’t “easier” for me or some people.

We’ve just made different choices… that have led to different actions… that have produced different results and even values.

Until you’ve established the right habits, the “easy” choice is more likely to involve taking it easy than doing what becomes easier through consistency.

But you can make new choices that will bring new results, too.

Eventually, it might even look easy.

You get to choose.

Rockstar Triathlete Claudia Coronado

Coach’s Notes: Congratulations Claudia on your first race ever, the Miami 13.1 Half Marathon. Way to show up and trusting the process. Resting when your body needed and doing the training so consistently. The results speak for themselves and I wish I had a recording when you shared how proud you were! So Awesome! Can’t wait to see what’s next, I heard you have a bike… Maybe a triathlon??? I can only hope!!

Age: 50

Profession: Independent Consultant in the Hospitality & Retail Industries

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I was considering training for a half marathon last year and Enrique (my fiance’ who trains with Erinne) asked me why not joining FCC. I participated in the Run Essentials workshop at Footworks in September 2021, liked it and decided to go for it.

What is your “A” race for this season? My A race was the Miami Half Marathon in February 2022- my FIRST race ever !!! Right now I haven’t decided what’s next.

Please share your BIG goals: After my good experience with the Half Marathon, I’m clear that I want to keep running and probably do a couple more races during this year.

Tell me about your successes so far: After I started training with FCC, I realized I could run longer distances if I continue to improve my technique, which helped me to accomplish my goal to finish the race. Now I feel stronger and more confident to try other things.

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

I clearly improved my technique and strength during the preparation for the race. Now I can run faster and longer than ever before. Even my nutrition improved.

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

  1. Training with a program/coach
  2. Training with the FC Tribe
  3. Discipline to follow the process

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

I am not ready for triathlon yet, but definitively I am ready to continue running.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
JUST DO IT, you will not regret. Training with a team is a great experience, your body will appreciate it too!!!!

“How you do anything is how you do everything”

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

“How you do anything is how you do everything”

I love this statement and it is so true. I learned this from my boss when I was 26 years old and I was having a BAD attitude about having to clean the bathrooms at the gym I worked at.

I wanted to be training people in the gym, but I had no experience yet and they only had an opening for a front desk attendant. I took the job not knowing I would have to clean the bathroom!

So I did my job and I did it well. That same boss noticed me and gave me my own club to be the General Manager, 3 months later, because I did my job well, even though I hated it. It led me to the bigger dream of being a trainer and running the gym and gave me so much confidence.

I use this as a foundation for my own business and training as well.

This statement pertains to so many things in relation to life and sport.

If you are just going through the motions of your training and not really paying attention to the details, you will not improve as much as you truly could.

You may say you want to run, swim or bike faster, hit that DREAM goal time at a race but at the same time not really show up the way you know you should to get the results you desire.

The details do matter. And this is NOT hard.

If you are spending the time in the pool, on the bike and running, might as well take the time to focus on the skill of the movement, and do the form correcting drills, hit the intervals, do the strength and stretching.

The results from there will blow you away as you watch as all those dreams become reality!

Here’s to the details!

Join me today and this week to learn all about those exact details with regard to training for triathlon.

Last day to join is today, hope to see you at 4:30pm inside my Triathlon Obsessed Facebook page.

Rockstar Triathlete Thierry Billet

Coach’s Notes: Only 3 months in and already seeing improvement. I’m so excited about this journey we’re on together. 1st place podium Sprint Triathlon Age Group and a 1:35 PR – half marathon a week later. 

Thanks for trusting the process and ALL the changes we’ve made. They will add up to great results, even if there are some setbacks. Everyone knows the road to Ironman is never straight up. But I am so confident in the foundation we are laying. 

Your skills are improving in each discipline and speed and strength have been the focus before adding on the volume that can lead to so much fatigue if we’re not paying attention to lifestyle and nutrition. Congrats on all the success so far, but this is just the beginning! Woohoo!

Age: 44

Profession: Photographer

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

I was looking for a coach, spoke to several people but nobody really inspired me to work with them until I met Erinne during the Miami Man in November, 2021.

I totally recognized myself in her speech, my weaknesses especially. So we had a meeting over the phone to discuss my target, what I wanted to improve, and what I was doing currently. On top of that, we discussed nutrition which is one of the keys to success. At this time, I had one more race to do before end of season; a Half Ironman 70.3 in Haines City. I was  super excited and decided to start my journey with Erinne.

What is your “A” race for this season?

My “A” race for this season is in August for the Ironman Juno, in Alaska. I am also doing Ironman St. George in Utah, as a challenge.

Please share your BIG goals:

Well my ultimate  dream goal is to qualify for Kona, the world championships in Hawaii. I want to run a marathon in 3h30 and maybe who knows a podium in Ironman or 70.3 distances, those are really high goals but that’s what motivates me every day to train hard (like an animal lol)!

Tell me about your successes so far:

At first, I started running to quit smoking… lol. I ran a couple half marathons and twice, the Miami marathon. I started triathlon in May, last year by a 70.3 in Sebring and finished in 5h13 after in nice panic attack during the swim, because I had never swum open water before (a rookie mistake) but ended with a qualification for Team USA for the world championships in Almere, Netherland.

I trained really hard for the next 3-4 months; as a photographer I went to Tokyo for the Olympics for two weeks, and I could not stop training so I brought my bike and home trainer with me and set it up in my super tiny bedroom. I biked every morning before going to work. Then I found out two weeks before the race that it was a long distance full ironman not a 70.3. I almost passed out in front of my computer. Anyway, I trained crazy for it and decided to go and do my best. I finished in 11h03 with a 3h40 on the run, I could not believe it, crossing the finish line was orgasmic 🙂

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

Swim: I did not start as a good swimmer but after my first session with Erinne, it took me 3-4 sessions to lower my 100m pace time by 10 seconds I was simply amazed.

*I did not start as a good swimmer but after 3-4 sessions with Erinne, I lowered my 100m pace time by 10 seconds. I was simply amazed!

*Bike: I am stronger on the bike with a lower heart rate and higher FTP (Functional Threshold Power) and of course I gained on speed as well, but now training or racing I am more focused on my power, HR, cadence, I understand that speed is not always in my control.

*Run: The first run evaluation session was pretty fun and epic. At 44 years old, I realized that I didn’t know how to run properly, for maximum performance. She asked me to change my running shoes, from Hoka to Altra, which was a big change for me not so easy at the beginning, but I have to admit now that I really like it because combine with the training it made me PR my half marathon to 1h35 last weekend in Miami at the 305 13.1 🙂

I also learned about the posture and training zones and when I think about it, every time I train I feel that I’m improving.

I feel that I’ve already improved a lot in the three disciplines; I won my age group sprint distance two weeks ago, but for the first time I was so fast in every discipline.

I’m also way more focused on what I put in my mouth since I started the nutrition program and I have to say the quality of fuel you ingest makes a pretty big difference on the way you feel through the day and training. I know there is so much more to learn.

Also, I changed my nutrition plan for my last 70.3, and I crossed the finish line not totally depleted and felt much better during the race.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1. Getting a training plan structure, adapted to my level
2. Understanding the what and why of my training and how we have to put it together to get better
3. Less beer, more sleep 🙂

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

First, being part of a group / community is so much better to progress as it’s such an individual sport. Then challenging myself, and racing of course !!!

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

Don’t be a pussy, just do it!!! It’s so good! That’s exactly what I would say.

I was training with a friend in France last summer, basically we were doing mostly the opposite of what I’m doing now and the results are here to show that it works if you work.

I mean the Training Peaks is perfect, the group calls are really good because you learn from the others and you can exchange and I am really excited about the nutrition program.

The training program is really complete so, you are going to improve. Plus, the coaches are pretty sexy 🙂

Thanks a lot already to all of you for making me a better athlete and sleeping so well at night!

Checking your Progress in the New Year

Checking your Progress in the New Year

Checking Your Progress in the New Year 

Here we are in March already. How did that happen so fast?

Let’s pause a moment to check-in and see how you’re doing compared to your expectations back on January 1.

Everyone can benefit from taking inventory and changing directions where needed.

  1. Ask yourself how it’s been going so far in 2022. How do you feel? Are you healthy? Thankful? Hitting your target race/ training goals?
  2. What are some highlights of the year so far? What has held you back?
  3. Consider the goals you set for the year, look back at your list to see progress you have made.
  4. Measure your progress. Literally, measure it. If you wanted to get down to a 1:45 / 100 meter swim, or a 10 minute mile, and you are making progress, then you’re right on track. (And if you’re not, that’s OK, too. We’re just talking about simple math to get you thinking in the right direction.)
  5. Maybe you have not hit the target goal yet but you are getting closer to the time goals you set. Keep it up. Give yourself a little reward of encouragement.
  6. If, on the other hand, you’re unhappy with your progress, then look back on the year (No. 1 and No. 2 above) and see what was in your way. Maybe you had a huge work deadline, or a family issue, or you’ve been sick. The point here is to identify a possible problem, acknowledge it, and let it go.
  7. Your review might reveal instead some areas for improvement. Maybe you need to add another skills workout to the week, or adjust your nutrient density in your food choice. Maybe you need to keep a journal or enlist a friend as an accountability partner, or even hire a coach!

Don’t judge yourself harshly. Remember that you’re being SO TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE by conducting this status check. 

See where you can improve, think about how you can make those adjustments, and continue on your journey, with a smile on your face and the March wind in your sails.

Let’s go!

Learning to Love Yourself

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

Learning to Love Yourself

I want to share something important today – something really personal for me that has made all the difference in my health and happiness.

I love myself.

Now, I couldn’t always say that. I didn’t always love myself – or even care for myself much. It would be an understatement to say I had low self-esteem.

At several points in my life, I struggled with my value as a person.

I wasn’t sure of my purpose.

Questioning whether I was worthy of love or health or abundance.

Do you ever feel that way? I know many people do. And it’s easy to see why.

Our lives are so stressful, and we’re told over and over that we’re not enough, doing enough, thin enough or pretty enough, smart enough or rich enough… 

Well, I’m here today to tell you that you are, in fact, enough.

TOTALLY ENOUGH. Just as you are. BUT, you have to know it too!

You can learn to love yourself by taking positive steps every day. You don’t have to wait for the sky to open, or for an all-powerful moment of clarity.

  • Take care of yourself physically. That means eating right, exercising regularly; swim, bike and run!
  • Don’t smoke or drink too much. And if you have trouble with any of these, seek the help of a professional or 12-step group.
  • Socialize, even when it’s hard to make the effort.
  • Enjoy and appreciate your body and all the wonders it can do. Our society wants us to feel bad about what our bodies can’t do, about how our bodies look. Learn to call BS on that everywhere you see it.
  • Express love for others and accept it when it’s offered unconditionally.
  • Pursue a spiritual path, whether it’s at a traditional house of worship or something else altogether. Being connected to something more powerful than us enriches our lives on a daily basis.
  • Give of yourself by volunteering or being of service to others.
  • Express gratitude. Silently. Vocally. In the morning. In the evening. Any time and everywhere.
  • Create on a regular basis. Paint, sing, crochet, draw, make clay pots, write poetry… Art is powerful, and it’s not just for professionals.

Ultimately, it’s up to you to let go of all the self-doubt and limitations that have been foisted on you over the years. But you can get closer every day by taking action steps like these, and more.

It takes effort. But remember: You’re worth it.

Happy Valentine’s Day to You

Happy Valentine’s Day to You

As we celebrate another Valentine’s Day, let’s remember to express love and appreciation for all kinds of people we care about, and not just our significant others.

So, let me just say how much I value you, and thank you for letting me be a part of your triathlon and healthy living journey.

I know it’s an incredibly personal, private experience, and it means so much that you trust me enough to let me join you.

  • I love sharing information and perspective with you.
  • I love hearing from you about your challenges and victories.
  • I love that we’re building a healthier community together, one person at a time.

Let’s keep that love going every day by making the next right choice in our exercise, eating and other healthy habits.

YOU are so appreciated!

3 Healthy Chocolate-y Treats

3 Healthy Chocolate-y Treats

It’s almost time for Valentine’s Day, and that can only mean one thing: CHOCOLATE!

OK, it can mean other things too. Like, you know, romance and stuff.

But… CHOCOLATE!

If you love it as much as I do, then you’re always interested in healthy ways to enjoy your favorite comfort treat. Too often, chocolate comes bogged down in too much sugar or additives or other ingredients that can actually be more troublesome to our eating plans.

That’s why I’m delighted to bring you a few healthy chocolate recipes that make wise use of healthy ingredients like avocado and cacao – so you can get your chocolate fix guilt free.

First, a hot chocolate recipe that’s packed with nutrition.

Second, a to-die-for recipe for chocolate cookies.

And third, a super-clever and delicious chia seed pudding that’s as tasty as it is good for you.

If you want the recipes, just click HERE to drop your name and email and I’ll send them over right away!

Don’t Let Fear Stop You

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

 Don’t Let Fear Stop You

Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real.

I’ve thought about that at scary points throughout my life.

  • When I was afraid I might fail at something.
  • When I was afraid someone was mad at me.
  • Anytime I’ve tried something big and new and different and scary.

This fear definitely happened for me after signing up for my first triathlon and of course again when I signed up for my first Ironman.

Fear is natural, and sometimes it’s a useful alert to our “flight or fight” system. But when it comes to the self-limiting stories you tell yourself, it is SUCH a waste of time. Once you see it’s just an illusion, no more powerful than a shadow on the wall, then you’re free to let it go. 

I did not let that fear stop me. Now 300 triathlons later, it’s an amazing lifestyle and way of life.

It can be that for you too!
