The influencer and triathlete details how she prioritizes training and shifted her work schedule to hit her targets.
Lara Santana shared on Stemma Performance how she adjusted her schedule and professional life to stay fully focused on triathlon. Known for her strict discipline, she explains the importance of prioritizing training logs and delegating daily tasks.
Finding time in a busy schedule for high-volume training is often the biggest hurdle for endurance athletes. On Stemma Performance, hosted by Bruna Mahn, Lara Santana highlighted how she transformed her daily routine to embrace the demands of triathlon and maintain consistent training.
A non-negotiable commitment to the training plan
For Lara, whatever the coach prescribes gets done without room for excuses. Her dedication is so intense that extreme hours are no obstacle when hitting daily goals. If the schedule demands waking up in the middle of the night to get a training session in, she follows the plan to the letter.
This level of commitment was built on a profound overhaul of her daily routine. Before getting into the sport, she used to delay starting because she knew triathlon requires a substantial investment of time, money, and mental energy. The old thought of waiting until retirement gave way to a practical decision to make room for it right away in her personal life.
Adjusting work and focusing on consistency
Upon committing to training, Lara restructured her professional activities by reducing her hands-on workload and delegating tasks. Acknowledging the privilege of being able to set her own schedule, she emphasizes that aligning her work pace was essential to sustaining her commitment to following the training program strictly.
