That's also a big component, I think, of having a good performance.

You should love what you do and it shouldn't feel like a burden to raise or like a job to raise.

You know, it's still, even though it is my job now, it's still like my biggest passion.

And working with a data-driven approach, I think that just gives me the feeling that I'm actually trying to be the best.

Welcome back to the Whoop podcast where we sit down with top performers, learn what the best

in the world they're doing to perform at their peak and what you can do to unlock your own

On this week's episode, Woop Global Head of Human Performance, principal scientist

Kristen Holmes, is joined by triathlete Laura Phillip at the 23 Ironman World Championships.

Laura finished in third place and is looking to reach the podium once again at the world

championships in Nice later this month. Laura is a major advocate for women's health as she was the first athlete in Germany

to truly speak out on the impact of her menstrual cycle while training.

She also utilizes data and who to help her prolong her career and increase her longevity

in sport.

Kristen and Laura discuss getting started in triathlons. She started at 24 with no formal

experience in swimming, cycling, and running, competing and training for Iron Man's, nutrition and

fueling, training across the mental cycle, Laura's whooped data, and her mindset going into

the Iron Man World Championships.
