How to keep your relationship alive through Ironman training build with Isiah McKimmie

How to keep your relationship alive through Ironman training build with Isiah McKimmie

Triathlon is a crazy sport. You’re up early, home late and when you juggle work, family, and household jobs, it can be easy to let your relationship slide.

Particularly through the build of a key race like 70.3 or Ironman where training hours are high.

So often I see couples and families break down because of triathlon. It can put a huge strain on your relationship, particularly if your other half is not involved in the sport!

Now this might seem completely left field for a triathlon nutrition podcast but bear with me! I’m here to help you, in any way I can. I’ve got the nutrition side covered (well mostly!) and I’m bringing in the big guns to help you in other areas.

In this episode, I’m joined by Couples Therapist, Sexologist and Sex Therapist, Isiah McKimmie. She's sharing some really practical, actionable tips you can implement to stay connected with your partner and help your relationship thrive.

Anyone can benefit from these great tips from Isiah. Whether you’re doing an Ironman or simply trying to balance all of the things in life.
