Welcome to the Peak State Fit experience podcast recorded from Peak State Fit Performance Center, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. You are listening to our fourth episode! The first season of our podcast will follow the modules in the Nail Your First IRONMAN course, which is now available for $189. The course has 35 video lessons covering the Four Pillars of IRONMAN, Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition, plus tips from my 34 years of racing and 20 years of coaching experience.

Peak State Fit has placed importance on education since our inception. Our business mission is to share knowledge and empower others through education.

Last week talked about choosing a coach or training plan to do an IRONMAN with our round table discussion featuring PSF coaches Tracy Campbell, Sibyl Govan, and Pat Casey.

Introduce Guest

Jen Rulon Jen has been a triathlon coach for over 22 years and the owner of JenRulon.com. She received her Master’s Degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science. Jen is an accomplished author and speaker for National publications ranging from Triathlete Magazine, Runners World, on the TEDx Stage, Men’s Journal Online, The New York Times, and most recently the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater Commencement Speaker. Jen’s book about how she’s lived with passion, grit, and heart is called Self-Motivation Strategies for Women. It’s linked in the show notes for both Spotify and YouTube.

I asked Jen to be on today’s show about setting goals because she practices what she preaches. She became inspired by watching IRONMAN world championships in Hawaii on NBC TV. After that spark of inspiration she set the goal to do whatever it took to make it to the world stage in Kona one day. She accomplished that goal on October 14, 2017 and so much more in life. Let’s hear from our guest, Jen Rulon!
