It’s another round table discussion on the state of Ultra.  This time I have four female coaches join me to speak specifically about female participation in the sport.

Kate Bevilaqua from (S5E10) is back to lend her knowledge as a three time champion at Ultra 520K Canada, UM Australia, and the World Championships. She also brings years of coaching and her background as a professional long distance triathlete of nearly 20 years.

Kate is co-founder of GK Endurance coaching.

Christine Suter-Rosenfeld is another Ultra 520K Canada champion.  Through her coaching services, “Reach, Stretch, Grow” she offers not just physical coaching; but also, counseling, as she has a Masters in Counselling, Psychology, 

Shangrila Rendon who previously visited in (S3E3)  is a two time Guiness Record setter, best selling author, and three time 515 racer.  She is the founder of Feisty Fox Coaching.

The final panelist, Hillary Biscay, is a former pro triathlete with 66 ironman triathlons.  In 2013 she became Ultraman World Champion after finishing second there in 2010, 

Hillary is founder of Biscay Coaching and co-founder of Smashfest Queen clothing.
