Tough Girl Podcast

Melissa was first on the Tough Girl Podcast back in 2017 where she shares more about her life, how she got into fitness and doing ultra challenges, such as EPIC 5 (the what, the how, the learnings & the challenges faced and overcome). This audio was taken from a Facebook Live I did with Mel in Melbourne from February 2019. This episode is broken down into 2 parts, with the first part focusing on ultra man and the second half focusing on her training for ultraman, we talk a lot about food, nutrition, and the mental and physical aspects of training.  Melissa also provided lots of top tips and advice for you to help you train for your next challenge.  Show notes PART 1 ULTRA-MAN - Hawaii Melissa living in Melbourne, working as a mental health nurse, 34 years old How she started doing endurance racing Deciding to focus more on herself and making sure she was looking after herself  Being inspired by her friend who did a triathlon  How she fell in love with the sport How she progressed in her running and cycli
