#231 Training for Performance in your 40s with Laura Shanks

We are joined by Laura Shanks, career woman, mother of 2 & a rapidly improving & rising HYROX athlete.

Laura talks about her early experiences of exercise & training & the overriding focus on weight loss, weight control & staying slim. In her mid 40s Laura is now a HYROX athlete who podiums at events & is chasing her first race win.

We discus discipline, scheduling training, a performance mindset, eating to fuel an athletes lifestyle & the balance of sacrifice & reward when chasing performance goals - as a regular person vs a full time athlete.

An interesting, insightful & inspiring conversation that we can all take something from.
