Lisa Roberts, Professional Triathlete Turned Ultra Runner On Showing Up Like A Jedi
Lisa Roberts, former professional triathlete turned ultrarunner, is a big believer in developing a Jedi mindset, so obviously, we had to invite her onto the show.
After a long and successful career in the triathlon world, including countless podiums and course records, Lisa came out of the gates blazing in 2020 when she hit the ultra running community. Between August and December of last year, Lisa set two-course records, beat most of the men, and won all three ultras that she raced.
We are excited to offer you this conversation, especially because we have several Team YogiTriathlete athletes prepping for another great year of triathlon and trail racing. BJ and I love to see these two communities blending and seeing that athletes can have success in both.
In this episode, we discuss:
- from running to triathlon to ultrarunning
- wide runway to goals
- being easy and brutally honest with yourself
- yin and yang/trial and error
- getting better at the entire process, the results will come
- navigating the voice of negative self-talk
- HALT
- the shift to racing professionally
- overcoming not being a swimmer
- no substitution for showing up every day
- accepting where you are now is the road to getting better
- the party of her last pro triathlon
- the pull to ultra running
- road pace doesn't translate to the trail
- expectations going into a 100k
- pounding the legs for ultras
- two-a-days, three-a-days
- the FORCE
Namaste-
Jess
