That's so wonderful that your employer pays for counseling. Therapy is for everyone and I think it's an undervalued part of healthcare, especially when we're constantly battling stigmas around self-care, self-love, and seeking help. Thanks for sharing.
It's honestly been a game changer! Even just working through the stresses and impacts of a workplace dynamic is something so worthwhile and life improving. So grateful my workplace recognises this-- not all do!
Tilly, you are such an inspiration! Watching you juggle construction work and training for the movie star Esports team is incredible. Your determination and positive vibes are contagious. Best of luck with your Abu Dhabi dreams! 🌟🚴♀🏗
This just a hows the full dedication to your professional career and your athletic career as well. Amazing insight. Wishing you all the best for the Zwift Worlds!! You got this Tilly!! 💪🏻❤️
Thanks so so much for sharing Tilly. It is so so SO inspiring and whilst I will never be anywhere near a pro, I'd love to strive to have more work/life/training balance and feel happy and healthy. I struggle with balancing full-time work and training for triathlon and find this video to be so inspiring. I need to make the time and make choices that support my goals of being a triathlete whilst also being a young professional. Any tips you'd be willing to share would be amazing.
Hi Amy! Triathlon must be so hard..3 sports 😵but you're spot on with the choices thing.. my main angle in a full-time scenario would be around habit and routine to establish the consistency and energy needed to manage training amongst it all. Easier said than done, but a little choice with a critical impact is bed time! (I'm talking as early as possible/necessary!) and that often means saying no to events/commitments or whatever vice you lean into in the evenings...doom scrolling, TV, food, socialising - whatever it might be that keeps you from being in bed early enough for the wake up with full min. 8 hours behind you to get you through the hard work ahead. When I was a marathoner working full-time and starting work at 7am, I would literally go to sleep at 6pm some nights (it was QLD though) and be up at 3am to fit in my 35km run before work. It wasn't a perfect life- I was pretty tired! and you definitely need space when possible to fill your cup/have some RnR. That's why 3-4 days of work creates a MUCH better balance, and I'd definitely recommend negotiating hours with work if that's possible...or even looking for employment that offers a more flexible/part-time arrangement. I started with my current company full-time but they were willing to respect my goals, recognising my worth and finding an arrangement that enabled me to bring my 100% to work everyday benefited everyone! I could go on but maybe I'll save it for another video :) wishing you all the motivation 🙏
Cool vlog looks like you have an amazing life and well done on working hard to make it happen. I'd love to know a few tips like you said at the end of the video
Have you ever considered racing on indieVelo? There is a really cool 5-day stage race coming up! IndieVelo Grand Tour - would be great to see you there!
Wow,, nice work... Was watching your efforts and food intake and was curious are you eating enough dense high protein and carbs? Those efforts are serious and it seems like you should be eating more. Not trying to be judgmental but I have seen too many cyclists starve themselves to be light for climbing and "Bonk" during long races and sprints. Movistar has a huge staff should be sending you training and (Miguel and Jose) nutrition guidelines. Good luck during the rest of your season. Cant wait to see your future racing accomplishments. The videos are great and I hope your channel grows...
Hi! Thank you for the genuine interest and advice. I don't track my food but eat pretty consistently and it seems to meet all nutritional requirements last I made the effort to check.. I eat a ton of carbs but probably not enough protetin if anything? A can of tuna a day. Sometimes an egg. A protein shake after riding. There is no doubt room for improvement so thanks for the reminder to check in on diet! My weight is I think very consistent (between 60.9-62.9) but I'd like to be light when going into a goal race (59kg) and that number is based on my body fat at 61kg being 21%...I never seem to manage this though... probably eat too much rice and chips haha.
I recommend a rice cooker. I avoided them for ages, and you can live without one, but they make things so much easier. Just put everything in it, turn it on, and it will cook with no attention needed and then keep the rice warm for you once it's cooked. You can do everything else you need while it's looking after itself.
Curious and a bit concerned about what your job actually entails considering your employer paying for boxing classes! Is that a skill sometimes needed in your job?!😬😋
Great video. I have a competition on 15 September. I ride alone, and I have no coach. Can you please find a coach or a friend of yours that can help me improve. I am on strava. You can check my progress
