    Ep. 59 - Characteristics of the Top Endurance Athletes & How to Choose a Coach

    In our latest episode, we have a discussion about coaching philosophies and what to look for in a coach. We explored the importance of communication, engagement, and taking ownership in fostering successful athlete-coach relationships. Key takeaways highlighted that coaches should have experience with athletes who share similar goals and backgrounds. It’s crucial to find a coaching style and philosophy that align with your personal needs, whether that means preferring a hands-on or hands-off approach. Top performers stand out by being adaptable, focusing on the process rather than just the goal, and viewing setbacks as learning opportunities. We delved into the specifics of choosing a coach, emphasizing the need to consider their experience with similar athletes, the benefits and drawbacks of remote versus in-person coaching, and the importance of matching communication styles. Credentials can be helpful but are not the sole determinant of a good coach. We also discussed the qualities of top-performing athletes, who take responsibility for their training, communicate regularly with their coaches, and remain open to feedback. Mark's coaching philosophy was shared, focusing on integrating performance within the context of a busy life and using endurance sports to build life skills beyond fitness.

    Jess Cullen sits down with fellow LP Endurance Pro teammates Jess Turanec and Allison Jacob to run through their races and experiences at Chattanooga 70.3 in the Ironman Pro Series. Episode Notes Transitioning from age group to pro is a big adjustment with many differences Swim starts are more chaotic, bike courses less crowded, run is about chasing down competitors Mindset is key - viewing races as learning experiences and staying positive through challenges Consistent training at prescribed paces and avoiding heroic efforts enables longevity in the sport Jess T felt very nervous, especially at pro meeting surrounded by triathlon stars Allison felt calmer than before her first pro race, used mantras/focus words Jess C had a hectic lead-up with work travel and moving, focused on executing race plan Open water swimming is challenging compared to the pool, takes time to translate Jess T and Allison exited water alone, Jess C had a panic moment early on Downriver current was strong, buoys came quickly, some physical contact between athletes Allison rode on feel vs power, focused on steady effort and cadence, course felt empty Jess T's seat was too low causing hip pain, rode mostly solo enjoying the course Jess C had favorite ride, pushed hard and rode with other pros which was motivating Allison aimed to ease into pace on hilly course, counted steps to maintain cadence Jess T developed a side stitch and had to walk/slow down, but enjoyed cheering others Jess C went into triage mode due to heart arrhythmia, ran easy but still had fun Pro races have more perks but are "pure" racing without advantages like drafting Dynamics are different - always chasing vs being chased, truly racing yourself Learning curve is steep but provides motivation to keep improving each race All three racing Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant next Allison traveling to Europe for work, will take a short training break Jess T connecting with another pro female in Ottawa to train together
