065 - Engineering Endurance: Bruna Romeo on Ironman & Mindset - The Health Movement Podcast

What does it take to be an Ironman triathlete while working full-time as an engineer? In Episode 064 of The Health Movement Podcast, Derek interviews Bruna Romeo — an engineer in Qatar who has transformed her life through triathlons.

From early swimming competitions in Brazil to podium runs in Qatar, Bruna shares how endurance sports became her lifestyle. She explains why swimming cutoffs are the hardest part of Ironman, how jellyfish and chaotic race starts test her nerves, and the nutrition mistakes that taught her to never skip salt again.

Bruna also opens up about balancing 3 a.m. training with work, her supportive husband and daughter, and her love for collecting bikes. Beyond racing, she has designed children’s bikes for Decathlon and written about women reclaiming identity after motherhood.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✅ The hardest part of Ironman triathlons (hint: it’s not the run)
 ✅ Nutrition & hydration strategies for endurance athletes
 ✅ How Bruna balances training, career, and family life
 ✅ Why cycling went from her weakness to her passion
 ✅ The importance of setting challenges at any stage of life
