COACHING

MY JOURNEY

My name is Karine, but many know me as Ironmum. I’m a passionate endurance athlete who has taken on incredible challenges: winner of the Ironman Zurich in my age group at 50, participant at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, the Swissman Xtreme Triathlon, and the legendary Patrouille des Glaciers.

But I am also a mother of four, a dedicated coach,and today a menopausal woman..

Wellbeing has always been at the heart of my life. I’ve spent years finding the balance between performance, self-awareness, and physical harmony—learning to train smart, avoid injury, and respect what my body needs.

As I transitioned into a new phase of life, I began to notice real changes in my energy, recovery, and how my body responded to training. I turned to the latest scientific research on hormones, menopause, and female-focused training methods. By adjusting my routines based on this knowledge, I found a new way to move, train, and recover. The results were quick and empowering: better sleep, more energy, and renewed strength .

This personal transformation inspired me to create Recharge by Ironmum Recharge by Ironmum —an online program designed for women 40+in peri- or post-menopause who want to regain strength, vitality, and confidence through a science-informed, compassionate and practical approach.

Run

We are most naturally suited to run. Yet running may put us at the mercy of our own weaknesses, both physical and mental.

Listen to my body, experience satisfaction and joy, feel profound gratefulness for being alive and healthy. This is for me the magic of this sport.

Bike

C’est dans la nature que je puise l’énergie et l’inspiration qui me procurent la sérénité et me permettent de faire face aux défis de la vie.

Sur mon vélo, seule ou bien accompagnée, j’admire la beauté de notre terre, je profite du « ici et maintenant » et me connecte à moi-même. Jamais je ne me lasse des riches enseignements que la nature nous offre.

Swim

Swimming is both very demanding and highly rewarding. It forces me to find my inner strength to overcome my doubts and fears.

Ce n’est que récemment que j’ai appris à maîtriser le crawl et j’ai longtemps appréhendé nager dans le lac. Pour moi, nager 4km en eau vive relève presque d’un exploit. Ainsi, je suis convaincue que tout est possible, à condition de se donner les moyens, d’être bien accompagné et de croire en ses rêves.

I love this sport because it teaches me to listen to my body and to feel the great satisfaction and joy of the effort. Taking a step back I can truly enjoy and cherish life.

rouler

It is in nature that I find energy and inspiration. I feel at peace and can face any challenges that life is throwing at me.

On my bike, alone or with my best buddy, I admire the beauty of planet earth, I live "ther here and the now" and connect with my soul. I cannot get enough of nature's teachings.
