Kat Matthews is serving in the British Army as a Physiotherapist Officer whilst she's supported to pursue performance as an Elite Long Distance Triathlete. Having only started triathlon in 2015, it wasn't long before she was winning races, including Ironman Florida in 2020, only her second attempt at full distance. Clearly there is a lot to come from Kat, so I wanted to chat to her about being a full-time athlete in the Army, myths around heavy training weeks and the mental tactics she uses to achieve these incredible results.www.katrinamatthewstri.comBooks Mentioned:Greenlights: by Matthew McConaughey The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark MansonPeak by Dr Marc BubbsEndure by Alex HutchinsonThe Sports Gene by David EpsteinThe Brave Athlete by Simon Marshall and Lesley PatersonThis episode was sponsored by Precision HydrationEnter the code TRIBEATHLON15 at the checkout to get 15% off your first order of electrolytes.Use the code PODCAST15 for 15% off the on-demand Science of Endurance Hydration course with TrainingPeaks University.
