What Next Mum

Welcome to a new episode of the Podcast!

In this episode I chat to Claire Smith aka Brutal Claire. She’s a mum of 2, founder of Brutal Events and an ultra long distance triathlete.

Claire is currently training for the Arch to Arc and has just announced that she will be going for the endless pool swim world record in February 2023, which currently stands at 31 hours.

Claire talks about how she got into triathlon, what led her to take on ultra long distance triathlons, including the Double Deca and how she juggles training and motherhood. We also talk training and how Claire manages her fears of open water swimming.

Claire is also the author of 2 books; Becoming Brutal and No easy Day which is about her self supported JOGLE run.

I loved talking to Claire and I hope you enjoy listening. If you do, please share the episode on your social media and if you can, please leave a review on whichever platform you listen on.
