Caitriona Jennings joins me on the podcast this week. Caitriona first represented Ireland as a juvenile tri-athlete and later learned she had a talent for long-distance running. Her competitive nature held true when she qualified for the 2012 London Olympics representing Ireland in the marathon. No stranger to adversity, Caitriona is honest in telling me that she did not get the result she aimed for at the Olympics due to injury and shares the mental training she uses to remain resilient in times like this. She describes the recent years as pinnacle points in her athletic career placing 3rd in the World 100km and 1st in the European 50km. She continues to hold the national record in Ireland for both the 50km and 100km races. Naturally, she is also a running coach and motivational speaker, I mean who would not want to hear from one of the best ultra runners in the world? Caitríona humbly balances her athletic career with a successful professional career, specializing in Law and Accounting. She is a veteran of long-distance running and it was lovely to sit down and chat with her about all things running, routine & mindset.

Thank you to Caitriona for being such a great guest! https://www.caitrionajennings.com/
