Vegan triathlete and coach Saskia Bjornson joins me to talk about endurance on plants, building confidence in open water, and why her sold-out beginner triathlon is changing the game.
We dive into the power of food as a gateway to change, how to tackle fear and anxiety in sport, and what it means to make endurance events inclusive, low-waste, and fully vegan.
Whether you’re curious about your first triathlon, want to up your swim game, or just need inspiration to add more movement (and more plants) into your life, this episode delivers.
Important topics we discussed:
>> Recovery and performance on a plant-based diet
>> Vystopia/grief and channeling it into action, community, and compassion
>> Beginner adults in sport: creating safe, welcoming entry points
