    Thanks, it’s True!

    I saw a super silly movie the other day that made me laugh a lot.  The name of the movie is Half Magic, you can see the trailer on this YouTube link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WVwoboiwK0

    One thing from the movie that I loved was when someone gives you a compliment, say “Thanks, it’s true!!”  I just love it because saying this is so opposite of what everyone always does.  So, today I tested it out and I can tell you it feels absolutely amazing.

    I got a compliment about the last Ultimate Tri Camp and it made me feel pretty good because I work pretty hard to make that an amazing experience for all who attend.  Then I remembered the line from the movie and I said it out loud “Thanks! It’s True!”  And wow, my smile got bigger.  I just felt good about getting that feedback on all my hard work. So, I mentioned it to my boyfriend and he said to me “No, you can’t say that!  People will think you are so full of yourself! That makes you seem so …… I don’t know!” 

    So I challenged that person and I asked them to try it!  I gave them a true compliment and asked them to say “Thanks, it’s true”  in response.They said “Wow I do feel good.”  I explained that I was not giving them a compliment to make me feel better, but it was a true compliment and I wanted them to feel good.

    So next time you get a compliment rather than deflect it, or immediately give a compliment back, say proudly “Thanks, It’s True” and feel your joy.

    I challenge you just once to try it today or this week then let me know by sharing how you felt!

    Our latest Rockstar Triathlete; Eileen Wilkinson

    Coach Erinne Guthries Notes:  Eileen is a true inspiration. Always with a huge smile on her face, she always says “Yes” to the challenges I give her in coaching and she accomplishes everything she sets her mind to.  I only hope to have her drive and tenacity when I’m in my 60’s – Way to go Eileen!

    Eileen Wilkinson, Rockstar Triathlete – 

    Age: 67

    Profession: Art Historian

    What is your “A” race for this season?  It was Haines City 70.3 2018 looking for another one to complete this Fall, perhaps MiamiMan.

    Tell me about your successes so far:  I have completed several Olympic races but want to conquer a 70.3 before the cutoff.

    What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following?  My swim improved the most, out of the water in 52 minutes, the bike went as expected for the 56 miles in the hills.  My run was there but I made a mistake and wore a 1 piece suit and struggled with it costing me the time cut- off.  I learned my lesson to wear a 2 piece so I can go to the restroom easier next race!

    Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
    1. Finding Erinne and her team at Full Circle Coaching.
    2. Getting a clear nuanced sense of my capabilities from Erinne and a clear sense of how to reach my personal goals.

    What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon? Being able to take pride in a certain level of fitness at my age and also getting from Erinne a sense of how much press I can still make!

    What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program? You couldn’t find a better, more motivating coach than Erinne.  She is clear-eyed in her assessment of your abilities and creates a plan to improve performance.  She inspires at all level-mental, physical and also helps impart a better understanding of the nutritional ways to enhance both life and performance.

    The 1-Day Triathlon Camp Changed My Life

    Coach Erinne Guthrie’s Notes:  John’s responses made me laugh and cry, you ARE that sexy bald man now for sure (read below), and I couldn’t be more proud of your successes this past year.  To see you PR by 14 minutes from last year at the Ride on Ryan Triathlon was truly awesome and it is all your dedication to the training that has gotten you this far.  I am so happy you have enjoyed the process as much as me and reading these words make me happy I do what I do.  Thank you for loving this sport as much as I do and seeing how much better your life can be when you are a TRIATHLETE.  You are truly a ROCKSTAR!

    Age: I will be 55 this year, what’s the name of that song? “I Can’t Drive ??!!😊”

    Profession: Senior Manager of Software Quality Assurance here at Gulfstream Aerospace in Savannah, Georgia.

    Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? In 2017, I raced my 1st triathlon ever; 30 days prior, I received an email asking if I would like to participate in a triathlon day camp featuring some “infamous” woman from the Triathlon world.  I figured some pointers would help keep me alive, why not.  The 1-day camp changed my life, not only did I meet a crazy, funny woman (she asked me to do the craziest sounding things), but she is authentic, passionate, direct, open and respected me for me.  She spoke my understanding which started me on this obsession.

    What is your “A” race for this season?  I have two, first one I just did (Ride on Ryan, April) and I did a personal best, and 14% improvement from last year; next is in September (Rock n Roll man). Though I plan to compete in 6 triathlons and 4 running events this year  (5k, 2-10k, and a ½ Marathon).

    Please share your BIG goals:  5 Years ago, my goal was to lose some weight and get fit through “exercising.”  Two years ago, my goal was to get fitter than my circle of friends, last year my goal was to show me that I can do it (4 Tri’s, 3 Runs).  This year my goal is to increase my fitness/endurance to compete in Olympic level triathlons and Marathon level runs, and I am on that path of success with Full Circle Coaching. All my training is online.

    Tell me about your successes so far:  My biggest success is – 5 Years ago I was a 6ft, 210lbs, 50yr old bald man. I have gone through 4 major wardrobe changes (Goodwill loves me).  Now, I am a 6ft, 165lbs (same as when I was 18yrs old in the Marine Corps), 55yr old, sexy bald man.  Last year I ran my first 10k ever, and now I am training for a ½ Marathon.  Last year I started Triathlons, this year I am making personal bests and placing on the podiums.  Life is my success!

    Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:
    1. I could barely  swim 50 meters, now I swim a mile every couple of days.
    2. I could barely last 30 min on a bike. Now my butt can withstand a whole lot longer and I can be in an aero- position for hours on end (sometimes I feel as though I could do lunch in that position).
    3. I have gone from running a 15 min/ mile to an 8:20 min/ mile

    What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  There are a few; the variety of being able to swim, bike, and run feels more well rounded.  The silence and kinship I get to do these activities alone this just my mind to challenge, and I get to do these activities with a group and enjoy the camaraderie. Besides, when you say you did and are doing triathlons, you are head and shoulders above what most people are attempting.

    What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?  My world changed in what I call a 30 day trial, I could see that regardless of how good I am at learning from the internet there is no comparison to the personal touch I get from this program. The program is tailored to me, my lifestyle, my capability, my desire/goals, and my commitment. If you’ve ever wanted a teacher, a cheerleader, a motivator, and a listener this program is for you.

    P.S.  This could be you!  If you are interested in learning more about Full Circle Coaching call us at 786-586-6057 today or click this link to schedule a complimentary triathlon strategy call:  http://www.scheduleyou.in/5ZIsVaU

    Success in Swim, Bike, Run and Nutrition – Amazing Story from our latest Rockstar Triathlete Lewis Perez

    Coach Erinne Guthries Notes:
    From swimming 2:40/100 yards to 1:30/100yards; Getting average speed on a 25-mile bike ride from 15mph to 21mph, A PR on a half marathon at 9:02 per mile (1:58:18). And losing 30+ pounds over the last few years to achieve all these amazing accomplishes is truly awesome.  I am so proud of your drive and dedication to combine time in your life for  your family, work and sport so well.  You should be so proud Lewis.  Way to go. You have taken my advice of becoming strong before going long.  Long Course 70.3 is next, I know you are going to kill it!

     

    Lewis Perez, Rockstar Triathlete – 

    Age: 39

    Profession: Senior Technology Manager at a Market Research Firm

    Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?

    Because after trying a few different coaches in the area, I had no doubt Full Circle and Erinne were the perfect leaders and mentors for me after I had a chance to meet her and her team. I noticed from our first meeting that Erinne had the energy, the technique, the knowledge, and the power to not only help me become an athlete again but to also help me become a better person.

    What is your “A” race for this season?

    Vineyard Half Triathlon on September 8.

    Please share your BIG goals:

    To stay healthy and live another day to enjoy another training day, another race day and another family day while building good memories for the heart. I dream of the day I get to race with both of my kids on a triathlon team relay.

    Tell me about your successes so far:

    Losing some serious weight in a healthy long journey that started back on 2010 at 198 pounds with my first triathlon to a healthier older 147 pounds sportsperson. Now I can run, catch me if you can! Erinne has been an incredible help along the journey with the workouts, the customized nutrition plan and guidance in and out of the course.

    Other big milestones have been getting off medication for heart conditions and other overweight related symptoms, 100% thanks to the sport and the nutritional changes. Definitively have gotten faster on the swim, the bike and the run, a lot more agile and energetic. Year after year I have been able to improve my timings and PRs at many events, from 5K runs, 10Ks, half marathons, 1-mile OWS, 5K OWS swims, sprint triathlons, international and Olympic triathlons. I feel I am getting better with age thanks to the help and dedication from Erinne and her team of professionals.

    What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

    My swim has gotten much better. From swimming 2:40/100 yards to 1:30/100yards and proving myself that I can swim 5K non-stop open water has been one of my more remarkable achievements. Getting my average speed on a 25-mile bike ride from 15mph to 21mph average also seemed impossible at times. More remarkable was learning how to run. For me, it was not as easy as just grabbing some running shoes and going out the door, I truly needed Erin to teach me how to run. First time I tried running my pace was 18:39 per mile. Things got better with time but now that I am better prepared and have been receiving the knowledge and training in needed my new PR on a half marathon is 9:02 per mile (1:58:18). My customized nutrition plan has guide me to a healthier life style allowing me to be a better athlete and lose a lot of weight along the way.

    Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

    1. The nutrition plan. Big balance and key support element.

    2. The training environment, compatible people training with the same goal and treasuring the time training together looking for the perfect balance in life, family, work, the sport, physical health, and mental health.

    3. Working with a set of coaches that take the time to observer and listen. I am very appreciative of the time and dedication to teach us, help us correct our techniques and work on our weaknesses.

    What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

    Triathlons for me are an enormous compilation of personal goals. Every race is a chance to a new adventure, a chance to do better than last year’s event, yet not every race is the same. There is always a challenge, something new, something harder, something emotional and no-matter the event or event type it always ends up being an invaluable accomplishment and a party of happy emotions at the end.

    What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

    Is the best healthy addiction you could ever have and living the journey requires having the right group of people to guide you through it. The best of triathlon is that you have a perfect balance for your body, multiple sports to practice that allows you to be active every single day of the week. It allows you to recuperate a set of muscles while you work with another set the next day.

    Thanks, Erinne and team for coaching me and supporting me throughout the years. I have quite a book of memories in my heart!

    Online Triathlon Training to RockStar Triathlete; Urs Brunner, Visualization and Strong Mental Plan

    Way to go Urs, I am so happy to have the chance to get you stronger and faster despite your injuries.  On a tough day and with way worse conditions than previous years, you killed it!  Way to go!  Super impressed with your ability to squeeze everything out of the training plan and apply it to your life; that takes a special kind of athlete.  Looking forward to the big Miami Man goal with more continued success!

    Wishing you well,
    Coach Erinne Guthrie

    Urs Brunner is part of my online/weekend group.  I have never even seen him swim and he still followed the program to get the results.  This program isn’t for everyone but at a lower price point if you are motivated you can get these kind of results too.  It includes online, video group conference calls every 2 weeks, daily training in Training Peaks and weekend workouts with the team.  Please reach out if you want these kinds of results!

    Age: 56
    Profession: General Manager North America at Pro Med Instruments

    Why you chose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey? I saw Erinne present at the Miami Man 2017 and I was totally convinced that her energy and her experience would help me get faster and stronger.

    What is your “A” race for this season? Miami Man Half Iron

    Please share your BIG goals: My biggest goal in triathlon and life in general is “beat yesterday”. Meaning that I want to better myself in all aspects; sports, professional and personal life.

    Tell me about your successes so far: In 2017 I did my first long course Tri (Miami Man International Distance). Unfortunately I got hurt and had to plan my training accordingly. I set a new goal of improving my time at the South Beach Tri (Classic) and I did achieve that with the help of FC.

    What were some of your biggest Improvements in performance for the each of the following? Swim: Bike: Run: Nutrition/Health: Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved:

    In swimming I gained confidence in Open Water. I have always been a pretty good pool swimmer and with all the open water swimming, I feel much better prepared for the ocean races.

    I have done a lot of biking with EBC and feel good in groups.  What I have learned since I joined FC is to fight the wind by myself (not drafting).  It has strengthened my power.

    Running has been the discipline I have done the most.  It is easy to do and I can always do it when traveling.  That said, I have gained in endurance as of late mainly by adding specific strength training.

    Nutrition/Health is somewhat new to me.  I have always eaten carefully and now I am even more conscious of the food choices I make.  I haven’t started with supplements yet but already had some conversations with FC and want to look more at this side of preparation.

    I would actually add another topic, which is mental strength.  It is an area I feel I am good at.  I do a lot of visualization and putting things like work-life balance in context.  Having a strong mental plan I think is very critical to conquer these tough longer courses.  I always try to see the positive and the opportunity.

    Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey: 
    1.A training plan (Training Peaks)
    2.Positive encouragement and being held accountable
    3.Being surrounded by other like-minded people

    What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?  I like the challenge of endurance racing and I also like the technicality of the different transitions.  My other hobbies are mountaineering and regatta sailing.  Both of those also demand endurance and technical savvy.

    What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

    Just do it!  Sounds like a cliche but it is so true.  There is nothing to loose.  If you keep doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.  Beat yesterday.  Carpe Diem!

    An Important Concept to Create REAL Change

    An Important Concept to Create Real Change

    I’m always on a quest for self improvement and I wanted to share a key concept that will determine your ability to grow.

    The concept of the Teachability Index is something I’ve been exploring, and I think it’s really relevant and fascinating for people looking to change their bodies and lifestyles.

    So let me explain…

    Two primary factors play a role in determining how teachable and susceptible to growth we are at any given time:

    1. Our willingness to learn
    2. Our willingness to accept change

    Both the willingness to learn and acceptance to change things are massively important to understand and check in with if you really want to create long-term change.

    In each area, rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 (1 being absolutely NOT and 10 being ALL IN!)

    Willingness to learn – How much time, money, and serious effort do you put into reaching your health and fitness goals?

    Are you trying to go it alone or do you have a coach? Are you trying to figure it out yourself or do you seek support in areas that will help you grow? Do you find yourself spending time and money in areas that aren’t essential or do you even know what areas are essential to focus on?

    Where are you on a scale of 1-10 in your willingness to learn?

    Willingness to accept change – You can learn and know things all day long, but until you commit to true change, it’s irrelevant. Maybe it’s spending that money you’ve told yourself you don’t have to get the coach you know you need. Maybe it’s changing your approach that just isn’t working. Maybe it’s tuning out the noise about what works and what doesn’t and not doing the diet/training program just because your friend is or some fit person posted it on Facebook.

    In order to grow, we must be willing to accept change in every area of life. And given that our brains are designed to resist and protect us from change, these choices must be conscious! Pay attention to the reasons “why not” that your  brain likes to trick you with and make those conscious decisions to choose to change and do things differently.

    Where are you on a scale of 1-10 in your willingness to change?

    To determine where you are on the scales, you can consider:

    • What are you willing to give up to get what you want?
    • What are you willing to spend to get to where you want to be?
    • Are you willing to let go of truths you might hold and see things from a different perspective?

    The above combined with our willingness to accept change and our willingness to learn make up the Teachability Index.

    Here’s the thing…

    It’s OK if you’re not 10/10 on both scales! We aren’t going to be there 100% of the time. It’s a place to strive to be because that’s where new levels of success are reached. Bringing consciousness to where you are now will allow you to determine the actions you need to take and the ways in which you need to adjust your thoughts to move higher on the Teachability Index, the place that we have tremendous growth.

    I’d love to know if you have questions about this or how it resonates. And if you’re ready to scale up your Teachability Index, I am here to help. Simply click here to let me know, and I’ll be back in touch ASAP.

    Why do I Still Race?

    medal EG 2_m-100779859-DIGITAL_HIGHRES-2141_042097-10684174

    Why do I still race?  I could be the coach that used to race.  The one who remembers the glory days and now I just sit on the couch eating bon-bon’s, remembering how I used to be healthy and in great shape.

    But, that’s not me!

    I believe it’s important to practice what you preach and I aim to do just that, PRACTICE!
    Because at times it’s difficult to get it all right, Wait!!! Do we EVER get it ALL right???
    Sometimes it feels like I do.  When I am in that flow state, but mostly I am just behind that, always striving to get back there. And that is what keeps me motivated to keep training after all these years (21 to be exact).

    Racing is a privilege and as long as I get to keep racing, I will! There have been too many times over the years that I was injured or sick when racing wasn’t an option so I cherish racing.
    I love it!  It takes me out of my day to day, shakes things up and pushes me out of my comfort zone.  Our minds and bodies need stress to improve, get stronger and faster. There is no better feeling than crossing that finish line, arms overhead, smiling ear to ear with that awesome sense of accomplishment.

    Having a goal to get across the line with a new personal record or just get out there and give it my all helps me get my training in on a daily basis.  Without that race date on the calendar it can be hard to stay focused on training or stay motivated, especially after doing this for 20 years.  However, with a race day set on the calendar I’m much more likely to be consistent. Then there are the races where I participate just to get a workout in with no real goals but to cross the line.

    I’m not the fastest triathlete by far, but I’m always just searching for ways to improve and get better just like all the athletes that come to me for coaching.  I never in a million years imagined I’d get to a World Championships, but I set this as a goal 3 years ago and this year for the second time I competed in a World Champs.  My first time was last September 2016, at Cozumel, Mexico. I competed in the Inaugural Age Group Draft Legal Sprint World Championships and this year in 2017 I raced in Penticton, Canada for  the Long Course Aqua Bike World Championships.

    Traveling to cool destinations is also a bonus of racing!

    The most important reason I race is because I KNOW it makes me a better coach.  When I’m racing I am constantly thinking how I can remind my athletes of all these things I am experiencing.  The chafe on my neck because I forgot to add coconut oil so my wet suit doesn’t rub. The benefits of chamois cream for a long course race. The best gearing for climbing, the healthiest nutrition that aids in performance; and a million other things that include the good the bad and the challenging.  I hope to inspire my athletes to set big goals and work smart and hard to achieve them. Everything I learn I love to share and pass along to them.  Racing takes skill,  practice and repetition to get better.  I have raced in well over 100 races and I have learned a lot but there is so much more to learn and share. Just as much as I love to achieve my goals in racing, nothing makes me happier than to see my athlete’s successes! It’s truly Awesome!

    I don’t think my coaching would be as effective if I wasn’t still out there participating and getting the real time information.

    I have a rule that I follow about who I learn from. This includes doctors, coaches, therapists. I always look at them and ask myself “Do they exemplify what I want to be like? Look like?  Are they fit and  healthy? Have they mastered what it is I am seeking advice from them for? Or have they helped others get to where I want to go?”

    If the answer is “No,” I’m not likely to follow what they recommend as much as someone who does!

    Thanks for reading.  Hope to see you at the races!!

    Gatorade is Toxic; Choose something better

    I know! I’m now going to be stalked and killed for going against this big name in sports nutrition but I will let you decide for yourself. I am a fact finder and I look up ingredients if I don’t know what they are and if they are healthy or not.

    I have a few resources including thefoodbabe.com, The http://www.chekinstitute.com and my favorite, a website called http://www.EWG.org to check my products and ingredients for the facts.

    I encourage you to look on a bottle of Gatorade and then look up what the ingredients are. The dyes are known carcinogens and cause neuro-toxicity! Orange flavor Gatorade is made with brominated vegetable oil which is a known cancer causing agent. Why would I drink that?!

    I recommend slower burning carbohydrate drink mixes. They range from potato or corn starch or coconut sugar if you are still a carbohydrate burner.

    These are some of my suggestions for alternatives to Gatorade:

    Organic Tribal Endurance by Natural Force – (My favorite) use the discount code ID-DSZ-705 for savings.

    Ucan Super Starch use discount code FULLCIRCLE

    And Race RX use FULLCIRCLE for savings.
    Start making smarter choices for your sports drinks and stay away from the toxic sugar water!

    Make Over your Cleaning Cabinet

    • Comments Off on Make Over your Cleaning Cabinet
    • by

    Essential-Oils_Category_US_SCWEB_v1Whats up Triathletes, as you know I love my essential oils. I also hate all the chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. I always check out my products at a great website called http://www.EWG.org

    This site will tell you how the products you are using rank from 1-5 on a scale of least to most toxic.

    Toxins are added stressors on the body and who needs more stress; We already have work, life and training stress. 

    Check out the tips below to lessen your toxic load. If you are interested in learning more about essential oils, please attend one of my classes on August 20th (Link HERE) or comment below and I can have an individual wellness consult with you and how to use essential oils in your life!

    Make over your Cleaning Cabinet

    Many large companies launch “new and improved” cleaning products that claim to protect your family but what they neglect to inform you is that these common cleaning products are lathered with harmful chemicals that have the potential to do more damage than good.

    Whether you clean your own home, have a housekeeper, or a combination of both, I am sure there are two things that bother you:

    1. Filth
    2. Chemicals

    Unfortunately, most people are using common household cleaners like big-box store detergent, hand soap, and dish soap which are often filled with harmful ingredients that put you and your family at risk.

    My goal is to introduce alternatives to some of the common products you use that are filled with harmful chemicals and ingredients. Oh and you don’t know where to get your oils I can help. I have a WEBSITE  where you can order individual oils retail but I suggest becoming a member so you can get wholesale prices and free oils – reach out with any questions and I can help you.

    Let’s discuss the MUST HAVE basics…

    • BAKING SODA: Absorbs and eliminates odor. Use to clean counter-tops, sinks, and tubs. Sprinkle some baking soda on your carpet and vacuum after 15 minutes for a fresher look and feel.
    • WHITE VINEGAR: Contains natural anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Cuts grease and dissolves mineral deposits.
    • CASTILE SOAP: Lifts dirt, cuts grease, and eliminates tough stains. Pour a small amount over baking sheets and pans then scrub for a few minutes for clean, shiny results.
    • SALT: Salt is an effective scouring agent. Pour salt mixed with hot water down the kitchen sink regularly to deodorize and keep grease from building up.
    • dōTERRA® FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL or OLIVE OIL: Great natural cleaner and polisher. Rub it into leather or polish wood surfaces.

    Here are some fantastic DIY products derived from the oils above:

    Multi-Purpose Cleaning Spray: In a large spray bottle, combine 2 cups of distilled water with 1/2 cup white vinegar and 10 drops Lemon (or any other citrus essential oil).

    Freshen the air: Add 15 drops of Wild Orange and 15 drops of Peppermint to an 8 oz. glass spray bottle of distilled water.

    Make It Sparkle: For sparkling clean sinks, tubs and counters, mix 5 drops of Lemon, Lemongrass, Peppermint, or Wild Orange essential oils with baking soda and enough water to make a paste. Store cleanser in a covered glass jar because essential oils will break down plastic. Scoop out cleanser with your hand as needed, and scrub and wipe down as usual—a soft scrubbing brush works great!

    Disinfectant: Add 4 drops of Eucalyptus, 4 drops of Lemon, and 2 drops of Bergamot essential oils to a 4 oz. spray bottle of distilled water. Use to disinfect hands, counters, doorknobs, toilet seats, etc. Shake well before each use.

    Great Smelling Laundry: To disinfect, freshen laundry, and kill dust mites, add approximately 6 drops of Eucalyptus, Lemon or Purify oil to wash cycles. You can also put a few drops of essential oil on a clean, wet washrag or wool balls and add it to the dryer to lightly scent clothes.  Make sure you are not using any toxic laundry soaps like tide or ALL- check out your brand at http://www.EWG.org to see how yours ranks in chemicals.

    Clean your Toilet bowl: Sprinkle baking soda and 1-2 drops of Lemon essential oil into the toilet bowl. Spray down the toilet seat and bowl with Disinfecting & Sanitizing Spray. Clean and wipe down as usual.

    Okay that is enough for now, but as you can see, there are plenty of ways to makeover your cleaning cabinet.
