The Proper Mental Podcast
Chris & Tom chat to ultra endurance athlete Brutal Claire Smith. Claire competes in triathlon as well as Ironman distances including Decca and Double Decca! That’s 20 consecutive Ironman triathlons! Last year she ran the length of the UK from John O Groats to Lands’ End completely unsupported and wrote about the 900-mile run in her book ‘No Easy Days’.
She also runs an endurance events company and organises ultra-races all over the country.
They discuss mindset and mental resilience, managing mental health in extreme conditions and the importance of failure!
It’s a great chat and Claire was very open and honest throughout.She brings a really positive energy that is incredibly infectious even over Zoom.
