Balancing family and fitness can coexist, as Tana Ramsay exemplifies. She trains her body with demanding endurance training and also stays connected to her home and family.

Apart from cookbooks and television appearances, Tana Ramsay regularly participates in marathons, triathlons, and Ironman events.

As her children grew up, she found more time for her fitness.  During her prep for triathlon, she said, “On the weekends, I can disappear and fill my time cycling, swimming, or running.” She spends her weekends with early-morning running sessions,  long hours of biking, and swimming, which shows her dedication to her goals. 

Training is a new way to spend time with her husband. She said, “What better way to spend the time than being crazy in the freezing cold.” She described their training as “odd bits of training together.” 

She is more inclined to triathlon because of its flexibility and social nature. Ramsay said, “You can go out on your bikes for four hours, stop, have lunch, and get back on. It's not like running where you then cramp and feel really uncomfortable.” 

After being “incredibly nervous,” she strongly finishes Staffordshire 70.3 and shared that she “completed the course in 6 hours 48 mins.” Her motivation also comes from charity work. 

She donated to set up a palliative care unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and she said, “When you really feel as if it's getting on top of you when you're training, you think, I know exactly why I'm doing it.”

Even when she is not competing, she stays active and works out with her daughter. She once wrote on Instagrm “Morning hike with Tilly Ramsay – all I see is a blonde ponytail in the distance. Wait for me!”

Training with her daughter and husband, and hiking together, shows that fitness and family life go hand in hand. 

Tana Ramsay trains and participates together with her family

Multiple times, Tama Ramsay, her husband, and her daughter have been seen practicing together. For insurance, the family prepared together before the 2025 Ironman, held in Greece.

IRONMAN officially posted on Instagram with a caption “The Ramsay's IRONMAN 70.3 Day Out.”

When they successfully completed this ultra-endurance event, the team Ironman congratulated them with, “Congratulations to Gordon, Tana, and Tilly Ramsay who completed PPC IRONMAN 70.3 Costa Navarino, Peloponnese, Greece yesterday”.

Apart from this group participation, she also took part in the London T100 triathlon and finished it in approximately 3h and 07 minutes. After completing it, she said, “There is nothing better. I loved it. There’s such a sense of achievement to do it with friends and family.”
