Send us a textToday's podcast guest is World Record Holder, Ultra Marathon Swimmer - Australian Tammy Van Wisse. She has crossed some of the most treacherous waters in the world in her marathon swims and it is intriguing to hear Tammy talk about how she approached each of them.What does it take to be successful in creating World Records, some in swims people have never attempted before?  Like doing an 18hr crossing of Bass Strait (Tasmania to mainland Australia) swimming from Battery Park, New York to Sandy Hook, New Jersey at 38 yrs of age and swimming the entire length of the Murray River, 2,438km! We discussed the physical requirements needed to accomplish these extraordinary feats, but also the mental side of how Tammy approached these swims. What kind of distance in training each day do you need to put in to accomplish a swim of this magnitude? What kind of nutrition is needed? How to cope with saltwater swelling and jellyfish stings and who supports you on the water and land?  We covered all of these questions and more in our chat.It is obvious from our talk, that Tammy is a determined and inspirational athlete and a living testament to "the mind being so powerful" that it can help you overcome any physical discomfit to reach your goal.
