I’m Shangrila Rendon, 2x Guinness World Record holder, 48-time Ironman distance finisher, Ultraman and IM Kona finisher, keynote speaker, author, creator of Smart Training Method and Founder of Feisty Fox Coaching.
But I didn’t start this way.
At 24, I couldn’t swim, didn’t own a bike, and could barely run for 15 minutes. I battled depression, PTSD, addiction, eating disorder and the lasting scars of childhood abuse, sexual assault.
Endurance sport became the path I used to rebuild myself.
I trained hard, failed often, and never gave up. And now I help others do the same.
I created this podcast to help you go farther, inspire others, and become unstoppable.
