If you haven’t yet heard Sarah Williams’ interview of Leanne and Antonia about the Arctic Circle Race on the Tough Girl Podcast, here’s your chance to listen to it in this bonus episode. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Why Leanne and Antonia decided to join the Arctic Circle Race (ARC) How they planned for the race The challenges involved in training How much it cost to do the race Tips for fundraising How they dealt with pre-race nerves Leanne’s and Antonia’s experience during the race The biggest challenge that they had to overcome in the ARC Training tips for those who want to do the Arctic Circle Race Key Takeaways: Training for the Arctic Circle Race is a challenge in itself. Cross-country skiing is all about the triceps. Posting in social media helps a lot in fundraising. Action Steps: If you’re planning to join the ACR do strength training and build up your triceps. Build tons of aerobic fitness by walking a lot and hacking movement into your day. Include hill runs in your training. Charge up and down hills carrying cross-country skis. When it comes to fundraising, don’t be afraid to ask people. Write to businesses with whom you have good connections for sponsorships. Bring proper food to the race. Leanne said: “We wanted to find something that did take us well out of our comfort zone, and from starting on roller skis to actually taking part in the race, it definitely did that.” Antonia said: “If you’re completely deconditioned and you want to take on an event like this, I think you need at least two years of preparation just to get your level of fitness up because, towards the end, I think it was our fitness levels that got us through it, not because we are great skiers.” Thanks for listening!
