THE TRIATHLETE AND GLOBAL HEAD OF FITNESS BRAND CORE ON BIKES, CARS AND THE BENEFITS OF TRAINING NEXT TO A RADIATOR
[InterviewRachael Sharpe ]
I’m a semi-retired pro athlete.
I used to run in college and university – our team was quite good, but I was never going to make it anywhere big. While I was working in the media, at Paramount, I found some free time to get my licences as an Ironman and USA Triathlon triathlete, and trained professionally for a little bit.
When I was still an amateur I would get up at 4am.
We had a newborn son, so I would get up at 4am, feed him, get on the bike trainer, then I would bike up to the pool and do a master swim session, bike back and have breakfast, bike to work… and then at midday I would do a recovery session. In the evening I would come back and do a weight-training session, go to bed, then do the same thing again… and because I had limited time and space, I would do the trainer sessions in a city apartment right next to the radiator.
