Coach Erinne’s Notes:
I am so excited about the outcome of this season. Daniel and I have been working together for 2 years to get to Age Group Nationals injury free and qualify for Worlds. Already a strong, fast athlete always on the podium, with no formal coaching he has so much more speed to gain. After suffering a stress fracture last year and a few months of no running we were able to get his bike up to speed with the fast guys. This year we really dialed in the run. From his last 10k off the bike with a 6:15 minute/mile average at his B race to a 5:55 min mile average at Nationals, I’d say we accomplished what we set out to do, especially off of a 25 MPH bike average. Congratulations Daniel, way to Dream Big! Now for top 5 at Worlds!  Let’s do this!!!! –  Coach Erinne Guthrie

Daniel Kaminstein

Age: 40
Profession: Emergency Medicine Physician

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I was looking for a coach who would help me with more than just fitness goals. I met Erinne at the Ride on Ryan Tri in Savannah and I liked her approach and attitude that FCC advocated.

What is your “A” race for this season? Just finished!- Age Group Nationals 2018, 10th place Age Group 40-44 and Qualified for World Championships in 2019 in Switzerland!

Please share your BIG goals: Being a great father to my four children. Becoming a more well rounded triathlete. Becoming competitive on the international level.

Tell me about your successes so far: My kids love coming to watch me race and three of them have now competed in kids triathlons. Tenth overall at age group nationals. First place overall among age group athletes at the NJ state championships. On the podium for all my races this season.

What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following?
Swim: My technique has improved dramatically over the past two years as a Full Circle athlete. With lot’s of video analysis and hands on form correction at Ultimate Tri Camp. Now, each race I focus on racing the swim rather then just using it as a warm-up for the bike.
Bike: Using power to make major gains in speed. I’m now cycling with the top guys in my age group.
Run: Stronger faster run off the bike. Being able to hold a fast run consistently off the bike is definitely my strongest asset now.
Nutrition/Health: Less carbs and more protein left me feeling much better during training and racing. The nutritional and sleep changes I’ve made have been equally as important as training improvements.

Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved: First time at age group nationals and I made the podium.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: Power Meter. High intensity training sets. Better nutrition

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Getting to inspire my four boys to be active.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
You can be a competitive triathlete without coaching but to really make significant advances you need someone on the outside who can give shape to your training and point you in the right direction.

This Could Be You! Are you Ready?? Reach out right now and see if one of our online or in person coaching programs will work for you.  Click this link to schedule your call NOW!

The Importance of Tribe

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

As long as humans have been in existence, being part of a tribe has been crucial.

Originally it was important for survival, as groups can protect one another and navigate challenges with much more ease than a single person.

In fact, many species of animals run in tribes.

But because we no longer fear attacks by wild animals, natural disasters (well sometimes with hurricanes) and starvation, tribes have come to play a different role in our lives.

However, they still serve similar purposes like protection and support… Or at least they should.

You see, too often in today’s world people have what I’ll call tribes by default. They don’t really choose who is in their tribe – it’s more whoever happens to be around them in daily life.

So, I want to share with you the importance of CREATING your tribe. Now I’m not saying that you should kick friends and family to the curb at all, but you should consciously choose a high – level tribe.

A high-level tribe is a small circle of people that strive for more. They’re positive, supportive, and they don’t gossip. They lift each other up and help you find solutions to your challenges.

When a high-level tribe is absent from your life, it affects you on many levels including ways you may not even realize. In order to operate at your highest vibration and achieve the most in life, you MUST have a high-level tribe.

And that’s exactly what I’ve created here at Full Circle Coaching. So, if you or someone you know is struggling on any level personally, we invite you or them into our high-level tribe. We don’t judge, gossip, or criticize. We empower, love, and energize each other.

If this is something you know you need in your life, simply hit reply and share your thoughts. We’re here to support however we can, even if it’s just lending an ear.

Wishing You Well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Adriana Lopez; Rockstar Triathlete

Coach’s Notes:  Adriana Lopez is an angel here on earth for me personally and I have loved watching her grow and get stronger in the sport of triathlon.  From the first group ride when your seat was killing you because your bike fit was terrible and you learned that you didn’t have to suffer like that; We have been training together for a while.  Your confidence speed and strength have gotten stronger and stronger and the one thing we are working on is getting better and better.  Counter balancing a seated work position is the biggest challenge to getting your run where you want but I know you won’t be giving up!  Super proud and honored to be chosen on your journey and I’m so excited to see whats next for you… Could it be a full Ironman?

 

Age: 48
Profession: Sr. Pharmaceutical Representative

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?  I selected years ago to work with Erinne because she really gives me the attention I need.  The constant coaching and inquiring what are my next goals and tailors my training towards my goals.  Erinne is extremely educated in nutrition and triathlon coaching.

What is your “A” race for this season?  My current race..Costa Rica 70.3, 2018

Please share your BIG goals:  Huge goals is to be able to run without constant pain.  We are still working on this but I know I will overcome it!!  Next race Aqua Bike Miami Man 2018.

Tell me about your successes so far:
Augusta 70.3, 2017 and Costa Rica 70.3, 2018.  My biggest success after Costa Rica was the fact I didn’t feel so beat up like I did in Augusta, LOL!  The training volume and nutrition were great factors.

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:

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1.  Listening to my coach has made the biggest difference in my performance.  Following set plans.
2.  Completing 99% of the workouts assigned on training peaks.
3.  Dialing in on the nutrition.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  I started getting involved in triathlons when there was a big change in my life–a divorce.  Missed my children tremendously and had no friends to socialize with while they were away.  In the triathlon world, I made the most amazing friends that have become family.  I also was blessed to meet the love of my life Dennis.  What motivates me is the cheering and support we have for one another in the triathlon world.  WE ARE ALL ONE !

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?  It is very important to get proper training in order to avoid injuries.  Erinne will help you build your base and guide you to your goals.  Haven’t met any one who has followed her plan and not succeeded. FC family is a great family with a great supportive group.  We stick together and push each other to the next level at all times!  Come join us, we would love to have you.

Online Triathlon Training to RockStar Triathlete; Urs Brunner, Visualization and Strong Mental Plan

by fullcircle, posted in ROCKSTARS

Way to go Urs, I am so happy to have the chance to get you stronger and faster despite your injuries.  On a tough day and with way worse conditions than previous years, you killed it!  Way to go!  Super impressed with your ability to squeeze everything out of the training plan and apply it to your life; that takes a special kind of athlete.  Looking forward to the big Miami Man goal with more continued success!

Wishing you well,
Coach Erinne Guthrie

Urs Brunner is part of my online/weekend group.  I have never even seen him swim and he still followed the program to get the results.  This program isn’t for everyone but at a lower price point if you are motivated you can get these kind of results too.  It includes online, video group conference calls every 2 weeks, daily training in Training Peaks and weekend workouts with the team.  Please reach out if you want these kinds of results!

Age: 56
Profession: General Manager North America at Pro Med Instruments

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I saw Erinne present at the Miami Man 2017 and I was totally convinced that her energy and her experience would help me get faster and stronger.

What is your “A” race for this season? Miami Man Half Iron

Please share your BIG goals: My biggest goal in triathlon and life in general is “beat yesterday”. Meaning that I want to better myself in all aspects; sports, professional and personal life.

Tell me about your successes so far: In 2017 I did my first long course Tri (Miami Man International Distance). Unfortunately I got hurt and had to plan my training accordingly. I set a new goal of improving my time at the South Beach Tri (Classic) and I did achieve that with the help of FC.

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:

In swimming I gained confidence in Open Water. I have always been a pretty good pool swimmer and with all the open water swimming, I feel much better prepared for the ocean races.

I have done a lot of biking with EBC and feel good in groups.  What I have learned since I joined FC is to fight the wind by myself (not drafting).  It has strengthened my power.

Running has been the discipline I have done the most.  It is easy to do and I can always do it when traveling.  That said, I have gained in endurance as of late mainly by adding specific strength training.

Nutrition/Health is somewhat new to me.  I have always eaten carefully and now I am even more conscious of the food choices I make.  I haven’t started with supplements yet but already had some conversations with FC and want to look more at this side of preparation.

I would actually add another topic, which is mental strength.  It is an area I feel I am good at.  I do a lot of visualization and putting things like work-life balance in context.  Having a strong mental plan I think is very critical to conquer these tough longer courses.  I always try to see the positive and the opportunity.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: 
1.A training plan (Training Peaks)
2.Positive encouragement and being held accountable
3.Being surrounded by other like-minded people

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  I like the challenge of endurance racing and I also like the technicality of the different transitions.  My other hobbies are mountaineering and regatta sailing.  Both of those also demand endurance and technical savvy.

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

Just do it!  Sounds like a cliche but it is so true.  There is nothing to loose.  If you keep doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.  Beat yesterday.  Carpe Diem!

An Important Concept to Create REAL Change

by fullcircle, posted in Blogs, Mindset

An Important Concept to Create Real Change

I’m always on a quest for self improvement and I wanted to share a key concept that will determine your ability to grow.

The concept of the Teachability Index is something I’ve been exploring, and I think it’s really relevant and fascinating for people looking to change their bodies and lifestyles.

So let me explain…

Two primary factors play a role in determining how teachable and susceptible to growth we are at any given time:

1. Our willingness to learn
2. Our willingness to accept change

Both the willingness to learn and acceptance to change things are massively important to understand and check in with if you really want to create long-term change.

In each area, rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 (1 being absolutely NOT and 10 being ALL IN!)

Willingness to learn – How much time, money, and serious effort do you put into reaching your health and fitness goals?

Are you trying to go it alone or do you have a coach? Are you trying to figure it out yourself or do you seek support in areas that will help you grow? Do you find yourself spending time and money in areas that aren’t essential or do you even know what areas are essential to focus on?

Where are you on a scale of 1-10 in your willingness to learn?

Willingness to accept change – You can learn and know things all day long, but until you commit to true change, it’s irrelevant. Maybe it’s spending that money you’ve told yourself you don’t have to get the coach you know you need. Maybe it’s changing your approach that just isn’t working. Maybe it’s tuning out the noise about what works and what doesn’t and not doing the diet/training program just because your friend is or some fit person posted it on Facebook.

In order to grow, we must be willing to accept change in every area of life. And given that our brains are designed to resist and protect us from change, these choices must be conscious! Pay attention to the reasons “why not” that your  brain likes to trick you with and make those conscious decisions to choose to change and do things differently.

Where are you on a scale of 1-10 in your willingness to change?

To determine where you are on the scales, you can consider:

  • What are you willing to give up to get what you want?
  • What are you willing to spend to get to where you want to be?
  • Are you willing to let go of truths you might hold and see things from a different perspective?

The above combined with our willingness to accept change and our willingness to learn make up the Teachability Index.

Here’s the thing…

It’s OK if you’re not 10/10 on both scales! We aren’t going to be there 100% of the time. It’s a place to strive to be because that’s where new levels of success are reached. Bringing consciousness to where you are now will allow you to determine the actions you need to take and the ways in which you need to adjust your thoughts to move higher on the Teachability Index, the place that we have tremendous growth.

I’d love to know if you have questions about this or how it resonates. And if you’re ready to scale up your Teachability Index, I am here to help. Simply click here to let me know, and I’ll be back in touch ASAP.

Meet CHRISTIAN CREWS, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete

Age: 45
Profession: Jack of all Trades Master of None…entrepreneur/angel

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? By pure chance and a great fortune!

What is your “A” race for this season? Miami Man – November Int’l Triathlon.

Please share your BIG goals: Do a Full Ironman® by the time I am 50 yrs old.

Tell me about your successes so far:  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:

One year ago I smoked, was overweight, and was very stressed with a new start-up.  On June 30, 2017, I decided that health and family life was to be my focus going forward, so that day I smoked my last cigarette as my family and I started a long overdue family vacation.  After 2 weeks of smoking detox, I felt I needed a “carrot” to keep me from smoking so I signed up for a sprint triathlon (Key West Tri).  The idea being that the training would keep me from smoking.  So I googled a Tri Training Plan for newbies and joined Erinne’s Swim Masters class in October of 2017, later to realize I needed a team to train with so I joined Full Circle in December.  It only took a running evaluation by Coach Erinne in December, to get me running a 5k without stopping/walking and I was hooked on Full Circle and Tri Training.

I consider doing and finishing the Las Olas Sprint Tri a huge success and I now have a benchmark to beat on future sprints planned for the year.  Another big success so far, is completing a 5k race this weekend without walking with a PR of 27:10!

Swim – I am swimming faster and longer than ever;  Bike – from never riding a road bike (I didn’t know how/why to use bike gears) to a 19.1 mph average in Las Olas Sprint Tri;  Run – from the KB Lighthouse Run 5k time of 31:05 (run/walk) to the Patches 5k time of 27:10 (PR) without walking!!!

On the Health/Nutrition side I am still smoke free, did Erinne’s prescribed “Gut Cleanse” in January and have lost 10 lbs since October of last year.  In terms of biggest Goal achieved – finishing my first triathlon (Las Olas Sprint) in under 1 hr and 30 min, which I finished in 1 hr 24 min.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
1.  Erinne’s evaluations, especially the swimming and running.
2.  The “Gut Cleanse” to start the year.
3.  Training with my new family, the Full Circle Team, which supports, pushes and encourages you to get better and faster while still having fun.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Being called an “athlete”  🙂

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
“Just do it,” it will change your life for the better.

He has come a few times to train with us before and after races as well as attending my Swim Essentials Swim training Series.

So very proud of your seriously MASSIVE improvements in all your swim bike and run times (see below- WOW!!!). Looking forward to an EPIC 2018 together!!!!!

Meet VICTOR MORALES, Full Circle Coaching Rockstar Triathlete

Age: 36
Profession: Management Consultant

Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I chose FCC because Erinne offers a holistic approach towards training and helps to prepare yourself to face the challenges that endurance sports represent in a really personalized and tailored way.

What is your “A” race for this season? My “A” race was Ironman Augusta 70.3, I decided to sign up for my first Ironman after completing some sprints and I definitely needed to seek help to be ready for this race

Please share your BIG goals: My goals have changed as I have progressed in life as triathlete

1.- Learn how to swim – As a late bloomer in swimming my first goal was to shift from “swim to survive” to an average swimmer, I couldn’t swim the length of a pool, now I can swim 1.2 miles with no sweat espcially after I took Erinne’s Swim Essential’s last Spring.

2.- Complete my first half ironman – I did this in Augusta in September 2018, I trained for about 7 months to achieve this goal, I completed my first half in 7 hrs.

3.- Improve my fitness- My fitness was below average before I started training, I could barely run for five minutes. Now I can tell I am in the best shape of my life!

Tell me about your successes so far:  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:

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: 
1. Swim 400m- 25 min to 9 min, I can swim 1.2 miles and enjoy it
2. Bike 10mi – 39 min to 29 min, ride for more than 60 miles without bonking
3. Run 5K – 47 min to 28 min, running is a part of my life now

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Being involved in triathlon and endurance sports enables you to push your limits and rediscover your own boundaries on what you think is possible and the things that you can achieve. It allows you to enter into a deeper connection between your body and mind

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?. This will be a life-changing experience, there are not many things in life that can give a return on investment like this program, the returns are a greater and improved health, increased fitness and the satisfaction of achieving your goals and pushing your limits to new levels are priceless.
