Summary

Do you have an unconventional schedule and still want to train and race to your maximum potential? Do you struggle to fit in training with travel? Can you still prioritize nutrition while on the road? Coaches April Spilde and Julie McPhilomy join host Vanessa Ronksley to share how they balance training, racing, and their social life with their non-traditional work schedules. From April's service in the Air Force to Julie's life in the sky as a flight attendant, they have each made it work while training for multiple distances, including IRONMAN. Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or listening to your body and resting, April and Julie share their experiences and provide suggestions for successfully executing workouts. It comes down to planning ahead and if April and Julie can do it, so can you!
