Owner and Head Coach
Zandra Sissing
Triathlon Coach
As a sassy menopausal athlete in her 50s, Sara like to approach training as a holistic journey to improve ability as an athlete, while redesigning the investment in yourself. The aim is to improve performances, body relationships, and well-being.
Aside from the required endurance coaching certifications, I have studied with interest how ladies approaching menopause or who are on the other side of menopause should approach their training. I have personally fought the journey!

Zandra started her endurance sports career early with a passion for medium distance trail running. With a passion for water there have been many diversions into different competitive sports. It was after knee surgery that she was introduced to triathlon and found something that was worth fighting for. A second surgery has honed her desire to train and coach correct technique and focus on injury prevention.
She is an ITCA certified professional triathlon coach, an Ironman 70.3 Finisher.
She offers 1:1 training, group sessions and remote training, and finds courage and excellence in every athlete.

We have learned that at this age we need to take more care of ourselves, apply certain methods to our training and most of all, seek proper recovery, relaxation and nutrition. I hope that our own experiences and training will assist you to find endurance training less arduous, more fun and beneficial.
I say nutrition, as I do not believe in dieting. I needed to make some serious changes to improve my gut health, bloating and general feeling of lethargy and low energy. This can be seen clearly in the photograph box, lower right. I was introduced to the Whole30 concept and did a 30-day programme, eliminating …
Race Nerves?How do they affect you? Do you perform better or worse? Do you get a newfound courage or does your race plan collapse? I’ve seen countless accounts from athletes online, and in person, where they stand on the beach before a triathlon swim start or an open water swimming race and drown in a …
