E3: What It Takes to Become World-Class — Ruth Astle
What does it take to become a professional Ironman triathlete — and what happens when your body stops performing? In this episode of Primitive Mindset, I sit down with professional Ironman triathlete Ruth Astle to discuss her journey from balancing a demanding career with training to becoming an Ironman World Champion as an amateur, winning multiple Ironman races as a professional, and finishing 5th at the Ironman World Championships. We explore the highs and lows of elite endurance sport, including health challenges, injury, setbacks, resilience, and the mental battle when your body won't do what you want it to. A conversation about ambition, discipline, resilience and the pursuit of high performance.
