How Hard Is It To Go Pro? | Ruth Astle: Age-Group To Professional Triathlete

[@JMHertford09]

I'd love to have discovered triathlon in my teens and early twenties (now 51!). I started training/competing in triathlon 12 yrs ago and it has made a real difference to my fitness and his re-ignited my love of exercising outdoors. It seems for Ruth (and probably most pros..) that leaving full-time work is the single biggest improvement you can make, possibly for any & every sport but particularly triathlon. Good luck, I'll be following your progress!

Anyone else just distracted by how lovely Ruth's home is. Does she live in an old castle... the Astle Castle?

[@TrainingwithFede]

yes, that kitchen is amazing.

[@montiescreations]

@Moises Mohamed thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Great work! Great athlete! Great format! Feel super sorry for you Ruth with all those Covid-Stuff, wish you all the best for the rest of the season!

[@Reastle1]

Raspanyardo thank you!

[@citizenphaid]

As with most cases of people become a success in another career it typically stems from having been successful in another sphere which gives you the financial buffer to not have to worry about where the money is coming from. Had she been someone who just worked down the local pub or had a low level office job she wouldn’t have so easily got to the point of being able to turn pro.

[@pinjaliina]

Great video! Ruth definitely looks like I a wonderful person with just the right attitude. And I definitely recognise her love-hate feelings towards swimming. Best of luck for her!

[@Reastle1]

Pinja-Liina Jalkanen thank you!

[@TrainingwithFede]

Thanks for creating and sharing this video. This is one the best parts of our beloved sport, the community.

[@toon_8552]

Really enjoyed this video, superb insight and Ruth comes across brilliantly. It would be great to see some follow up videos here on GTN.

[@Reastle1]

Toon _85 thank you!

[@Emasmim]

Is it viable for @GTN to hire her as a part timer as i would think she will provide a new angle as a new pro vs former pro.

[@PedroGomesTri]

Every time I see scenes from Yorkshire (and UK's countryside), I always feel the urge to move back to the UK. I even forget how much it rains!

[@harijsmalkauss4415]

Thank You, Global Triathlon Network ! Great video :))

[@bluefishhh]

Great video...looking forward to seeing more of these and the journey!

[@tobias3581]

She’s amazing - mind of a champion. I know she can stay in champ mode while being more kind to herself, hope she will 🙏

[@gtn]

Hi guys, this is a re-upload, we spotted an error in the original. Thanks

[@thaysankaing9387]

Me too I feel relaxed after swimming but feel pressured but why do u still go to the pool during the pandemic?

[@gtn]

Hi there - Just to clarify - this was filmed earlier this year. No one is currently swimming in pools in the UK, unfortunately.

[@johnpontes812]

Pandemic....mmmm its pretty average pandemic

[@jamesalexcox]

Scenery looks fantastic for cycling! Where is this?

[@Reastle1]

J C the bits filmed recently are Yorkshire

[@jamesalexcox]

[@stasszczesniak]

Old for a pro, that’s what she meant didn’t she ?

[@TheMrjoshhb]

May I ask when this was filmed?

[@gtn]

Hi, this was filmed much earlier this year, way before the current climate 🙂
