Episode 52: Ironman on the Spectrum: Training, Burnout & Proving Them Wrong w/ Adrienne Bunn


Diagnosed at four. Told what she “wouldn’t” do.


Now she’s training for triathlons while juggling college, sensory needs, and full-time endurance sport.



In this episode, we explore:

  • Importance of Parental Support: Doctors predicted limits. Her parents built a support network instead.

  • Running Changed My Life: Medication made her feel flat and lethargic. Running regulated her nervous system & finally changed everything.

  • Color-Coded Chaos: Google Calendar. Daily check-ins. Flexible rescheduling.

  • Protecting Your Peace: tips for managing sensory overwhelm

  • Plastic Feet Totem: cute story about how movement + tangible goals = motivation.



Key Questions Answered in the Audio:

  1. How do you train for Ironman without burning out?

  2. What does early autism support actually look like?

  3. How do you juggle school, sport, and sensory regulation without melting down?
