In this episode, we explore endurance sport as a path to healing, not just performance, and how long efforts rewire our response to fear, shame, and overwhelm. Marisa Garcia shares tools from triathlon and trauma-informed coaching to help us find control inside chaos and know when to pause.
• Endurance movement as moving meditation and trauma repair
• Open-water swim strategies for panic, boundaries, and control
• Rewriting old shame through steady, present miles
• Hydration and fueling as mental health tools on course
• Evolving from finishing to racing and back to joy
• Burnout, identity, and healthy retirement from goals
• How grit in sport transfers to family, conflict, and work
• Practical first steps for choosing an achievable race
*In the show we touch on Ironman distances. We were a little off! Here are the accurate ones:
Swim
- Distance: 1.2 miles (1.9 km)
- Usually in open water: lake, river, or ocean
Bike
- Distance: 56 miles (90 km)
- On paved roads or highway loops
Run
- Distance: 13.1 miles (21.1 km)
- That’s a half marathon to finish
Total Distance: 70.3 miles (113 km)
Participants usually have 8.5 hours to complete the race, with individual cut-off times for each segment.
