Frustration and anger hits everyone, but what do they mean at the core? How do we react and reframe challenges. It’s not as simple as “glass-half-full” but it’s definitely not a blame game either. How do we wake up and pursue something that builds deeper roots for tomorrow?

Even thought we're amateurs our identity can get tangled and out of balance with the sport.

    10/07/2020 Duración: 58min

    Today we cover a lot of ground. Heat and humidity's impact on swimming. Best hill workouts. How to manage strength, speed, and PRs as you age. Switching gears from triathlon to ultra marathons. Popularity build of "alternative" races. Ironman brand going forward. Supplements. Hiking vs. Running. Core temp recalibration. Strength training. Going from a 70.3 to a Full.  Questions from Athletes: How is it that humidity has an impact on swimming? I mean, I’m in water... 100% humidity…. What are the best run workouts to fit in hills/elevation Help me with the mindset around getting older and slower. When I was younger every race was a PR, shoot... every workout was a PR. (Maybe exaggerating) Now that I’m starting over every workout and every race can feel like a disappointment, regardless if I gave it hell or not. If you are trained for an Ironman Race and it gets cancelled, how would you change up your training to do an 45 mile ultramarathon instead and how long would you need to get ready?

The Race cancelation yo-yo Finding an outline to move forward They’ll say it was COVID, but .  . The “old” Louisville Heat Did the move from August ruin Louisville?

Topics: Self-supported Ironman How do you handle not having a race? Endurance sports let you race by yourself Addicted to headlines What’s REALLY important to you?
