    #812 – Let's Get It Started

    In honor of Mike's dad's favorite Ironman pre-race song, "Let's get it started . . . now." No more overthinking. No more premature optimization plans, just go and don't let information overload push something off to tomorrow, or next month. The digital comfort food is slowing down your progress. Get supportive people around you and let it rip in what might honestly be the most important time of the year. Figure things out on the fly. What works for you. What doesn't. Now more wallowing in the past or being afraid of the future. Let's get it started.  Topics: Podcasts taking over the media More choices and ideas than ever Listen to the people you want Powerful long-form discusssions  Did Mike actually give up reading? Inappropriate boundaries that hold us back Digital comfort food Immediat action Just get started  Power support What if we had interventions for the lazy? Reaction videos Letting go of control Being grounded in the moment Practice for being in the now Depression is in the past Anxiety is in the future Transcend and include It's better to figure out training when your training When your urge is to do nothing Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

    #811 – Are You Game?

    Are you willing to let go and leave your comfort zone? Today, we start by talking about Cam Wurf’s perspective on endurance sports and life and it takes us into an interesting discussion about “being game” to try new things. We’re seeing more athlete “going for it” with their adventures and we love it. We get into staying grounded, but taking chances. We look at building confidence by seeing speed. We talk about why Zone 2 is the ultimate mystery but key to endurance sports. And why Mike is taking a break from reading. Topics:  Being grounded Ironman Florida Cam Wurf’s perspective on life and endurance sports Cameron Hanes Giving up things that waste our time Finding fun within the challenge Are you game or too cautious? Building confidence by seeing speed Meditation, yoga as they relate to Z2 Getting rid of that brittle feeling Creating experiences The lure of C26 team events More 50 and 100ks on the books Use your body Creating resilience Tough life and experiences Get C26 Gear: https://c26triathlon.com/preorder/-c169759535 Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

    #809 – KONA RECAP - Plus, the mistakes we make in racing

    What a race from Patrick Lange. Today, we look at how KONA unfolded and why, after all these years, it still comes down to the run . . . and maybe the swim? It's incredible to think that Lange may have strategically pulled back on the bike with a 4:06, but it definitely makes you want to look at the little things and how important they are in racing. Speed kills in shorter racing, but at the Ironman distance, mistakes can pile up. Making good decisions in your race (and training) often trumps technology, but it's all so tempting. Today, we get into many aspects of Ironman training and racing with a food for thought discussion.  Topics: Execution for the win The incredible Patrick Lange Ditlev's grit Blummenfelt's struggles The amazing Cam Wurf (and Matt Hanson) Rudy von Berg, Sam Laidlow The swim course record The most underrated triathlete All the new methods, but . . .  Mistakes take you out of the race Mental games Was a good chunk of the field over-raced? Pro triathlete's schedules  Do some of us do too much? The temptation of the tech short cut One hit wonders, golf clubs, the Boston Red Sox and more    Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

    The Triathlete’s Christmas is upon us… Who will stand on top of the podium at the Ironman World Championships? Despite being a little later in the year, it looks like it will be hot on the course. How will that play into the race? We go through some potential race strategies, talk about the favorites, and a few dark horse candidates for the podium. In the end we give our pics. Topics: 808 History Hawaii Weather The swim - can it now be lose it or win it? Will they hammer the swim? Bike power How aggressive will they be on the bike? Drop the fast runners? Who can come out in a swim pack ahead of their typical swim? Energy savings but faster in the water Mike and Robbie’s podium predictions Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

    #807 – Winterize Your Training

    There’s not much worse than starting each year from scratch with rusty joints and bones, so today we look at some strategies to get the most out of your “off-season” training. Many may seem non-traditional, but the biggest key is to enjoy what you’re doing and stay in the fitness ballpark. We get into flex months, the reality of too much intensity, spending time working on things that will matter the most next year and slowing down degradation of fitness. The long game is life, so be all in on your health. Topics:  T-100 KONA broadcast NASCAR Winter hybernation "What ya runnin from, boy?" Exciting and consistent Staying in the ballpark Most important thing: enjoying what you’re doing 12 months of intensity . . . Falling in the triathlete’s cycle Flex month after your biggest race The focus is the hardest part Mental and emotional tolls Maintaining ballpark fitness Actions speak louder than words Weekend rebellion Slowing down degradation of fitness Stopping regression Priming the engine Do something simple first Your body craves activity The long game is life All in on health and longevity   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

    #806 – What's Harder: A Marathon or An Ironman?

    Today, we tackle a thought provoking question. What’s harder, an Ironman or a stand alone marathon? Within this question are a lot of interesting thoughts about becoming a stronger endurance athlete. We compare the body blow mentality of doing and Ironman vs. the more intense effort it takes to do a marathon. We ask if most people really “race” an Ironman or survive? We look at the pain and pounding of a marathon. Levels of soreness vs. overall fatigue. Are we talking about the training input it takes to do either? Are we talking about just getting it done or racing? Are they two completely different sports? Topics: Early morning running Intervals, hill repeats, and Z1-Z2 Are most people way overtrained? Chasing a pace How much more running do we do for a marathon? Are you racing or surviving? Optimal marathon vs. Ironman pace in the run When does your body reject the speed? People to pace off of Crowds When people are shocked by their marathon pace 1 mile sprint vs. a 5k Do you need to do a marathon while training for Ironman? Top marathoners vs. Top Ironman athletes Lot’s of food for thought The answer doesn’t really matter   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

    #805 – Listener Q&A

    Listeners drive today’s topics, including the highly debated topic of weight training. We also take a deep look at the swim and discuss whether it’s worth working overtime to save a couple minutes. Also, how do you keep motivated and inspired when something like injury takes you away from triathlon. Should you bilateral breathe in the swim? The best ways to work strength training into your swim, bike, run training. Topics: Fall weather Is the extra work worth saving 2 to 3 minutes in a swim? Crashed bike, what now? How do you keep going? Using triathlon to figure out who you are I’m not a triathlete, I’m a person who challenges myself and does hard things Bilateral breathing worth the time? Finding your best swim stroke Adult onset swimming Q4 the time to focus on weight training? Replacement or compliment Core work?
