Pregnancy, Pro Triathlon & Finding a New Mindset with Hannah Munday
Send me a message, how did you enjoy the show? In this episode, Hannah shares her inspiring journey from competitive swimming to earning her professional triathlon licence and explains why becoming a pro was always about passion, freedom, and the love of racing, not just results. Hannah opens up about training throughout pregnancy, the challenge of letting go of pace, power, and performance metrics, and learning to trust her body instead. She talks honestly about navigating the first trimester, keeping her pregnancy private while training with others, adapting swim, bike, and run sessions as her body changes, and dealing with the physical and mental shifts that come with pregnancy. We also discuss the latest guidance around exercising during pregnancy, the importance of medical support, staying active safely, and why every pregnancy is unique. Looking ahead, Hannah shares her hopes of returning to professional racing, with Ironman Kalmar firmly on her radar around nine months postpartum. Finally, Hannah reflects on her memorable Long Course Weekend victory, the unique demands of multi-day racing, and offers practical advice for athletes balancing sport, pregnancy, work, and everyday life. Whether you're a triathlete, an endurance athlete, an expectant parent, or simply interested in stories of resilience and adaptation, this conversation is packed with honest insights, motivation, and practical takeaways.
