Be Fierce & Tri is a IRONMAN Triathlon podcast and endurance training podcast covering Marathon, runDisney and ultra endurance training for athletes who want to train smarter, race stronger, and build long-term performance without burnout.
Hosted by triathlon coach, Ironman World Championship qualifier, and endurance athlete Jill “The Tri Mom” Bartholomew, this podcast covers triathlon training, IRONMAN training, marathon training, and endurance training, with a practical, real-world approach designed for busy, motivated athletes.
The show also features dedicated conversations around runDisney training, including Dopey Challenge training, Princess Weekend preparation, race execution, recovery, and the mental side of completing multi-day endurance events.

Each episode delivers actionable coaching insight, honest discussions about consistency and recovery, and proven strategies for building sustainable endurance — helping triathletes, runners, and endurance athletes perform at their best on race day and beyond.
Professional triathlete Carolyn Olsen joins the podcast to discuss her journey from age-group athlete to professional racer and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
From qualifying for Kona and winning IRONMAN Texas as an amateur to overcoming mechanical failures, DNFs, and race-day adversity, Carolyn shares the highs, lows, and realities of competing at the highest level of long-course triathlon.
Jill and Carolyn also dive into:
- What separates professional racing from age-group competition
- Why a DNF is not the end of your story
- Managing open-water anxiety
- Building confidence through experience
- Why coaching matters more than simply training harder
- Finding perspective when races don’t go according to plan
This episode is a reminder that every finish line—and every setback—has something to teach us.
