In this episode, I sit down with Kirsten McCay, a triathlete, coach, and personal trainer excelling in both endurance sports and motherhood. She’s won her age group at the 70.3 North American Championships twice, even after spinal surgery—showcasing her resilience and mental toughness.
Kirsten talks about balancing intense training with parenting, using creative solutions like stroller runs and nap-time workouts. She also shares her coaching approach, helping busy clients make steady progress.
