Be Fierce & Tri is a IRONMAN Triathlon podcast and endurance training podcast covering Marathon, runDisney and ultra endurance training for athletes who want to train smarter, race stronger, and build long-term performance without burnout. Hosted by triathlon coach, Ironman World Championship qualifier, and endurance athlete Jill “The Tri Mom” Bartholomew, this podcast covers triathlon training, IRONMAN training, marathon training, and endurance training, with a practical, real-world approach designed for busy, motivated athletes. The show also features dedicated conversations around runDisney training, including Dopey Challenge training, Princess Weekend preparation, race execution, recovery, and the mental side of completing multi-day endurance events.
