Zero To Ironman: EP 25 - Balancing Filming, Work & Training (Trying) | 7 weeks to go...

Week 24 of my 7 month journey as I train from zero prior experience to complete an Ironman in order to raise awareness for T2KO and support those facing this tough battle.
Short one this week, I struggled a bit to get into training early in the week. I've been filming and been working on lots of exciting projects and super grateful to work with legends like @jaydenbeville. Wasn't super high spirited this week initially but another week is done. Closer to the Ironman each session at a time :)
Also had fun using both my LUTs paired with @justkayy new LUTs for the intro clips.

Nice video, Brody! We're training for our first full IRONMAN and we feel you sooooo much! Last week was really taught for us but that's the part of the journey! And it's nice to see that we're not alone and ppl goes trough the same problems. Keep going!

[@brodysearle]

That's great!! Hope you are both doing well!!

[@haurdahl]

That's the right mindset, show up even when you don't want to. I actually find I have some of the best workouts when I really don't want to, it makes it easier to convince myself to go lol. Only 7 weeks left, coming down to the business end of the journey. Just remember, you put in so much work, the last little stretch is maintenance and injury prevention!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks so much for your positive comments every week, always helping me out mate ❤️

[@haurdahl]

hey man, your vids help me going, so it's the least I could do :) Not sure what I'm going to do in 8 weeks lol

Good days and bad days are part of the process. Mental exhaustion is big on moral. I had that too training for my first 70.3 and being overworked and stressed by personal life situations. Training taught me I could be so mentally and physically strong even through the hard times in life. That lesson is priceless and you're doing great! Keep at it!!! 💪🏼 PS: whenever you're down and have doubts about training, remember why you're training and who you're serving through your goal ✨ don't forget to share it in your videos about who you're supporting and how your community can support! 🔥

[@brodysearle]

Thank you!! I’m happy to hear you did well also! Happy to hear any ideas how to talk about charity a bit more rather than saying how much we have raised?

[@clarissazaruk]

Idk, ask people what is their Why for doing Triathlon. I mean other than Ironmen being crazy people, there's a bigger reason to do ultra endurance sports. Then you share your why of raising awareness for T2KO. You can say when you're struggling through the fatigue, training and life juggling you're remembing others bigger struggles with this disease and if you can, It would mean the world if you're able to support! And share your goal of Raising 10 000 AUZ. I'm sure you can sound salesy and don't be afraid to cause it's for a good cause!!! :D

I’m currently training for a 70.3 and had the same dip in enjoyment/energy/motivation last month, it sucked!!! Luckily I’m back now, but damn didn’t feel great. Def correlated with life stresses

[@brodysearle]

Goodluck you’ll smash it :)

[@rodrixin]

Inspired man! Going to do the same for 70.30 Marbella 💪🏼

[@brodysearle]

Love it bro!

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Amazing video, Brody! Thanks for sharing with us! Cheers from Brazil!

[@brodysearle]

Thanks again mate :)

[@mariacortes2384]

Yep, just show up every day. Sometimes I do flexibility sessions, when I have a low tank. You got this!

[@brodysearle]

Do you find it helps? 😁

[@mariacortes2384]

@@brodysearle Yes, it does. It helps me to fall asleep easier. Sometimes I add in some light weight work.😌

[@HollyDunnDesign]

38 degrees?! I don’t envy you over in Australia! In the south of NZ I’m in full on long sleeves and gloves for outdoor riding these days.

[@brodysearle]

Yep was ridiculously hot for 2-3 days! Some parts of Melbourne were reported 36-38+ haha

[@stephenquimby]

Maybe see if there is a sprint or Olympic event you could enter to put all the pieces together. I just did my first Sprint Tri and am super stoked to keep training for my first olympic in 11 more weeks. Either way, if you're like me you will learn a ton and come out pumped to take it to the next level. Keep up the grind.

[@brodysearle]

Only this coming weekend mate but I won’t be racing. Thanks mate, glad to hear you smashed it.

[@harwoodae]

What’s the name of that dog toy? My doggo would probably love something like that.

[@brodysearle]

I actually don’t know, I threw out the plastic. I’ll ask Alex for you :)
