In this podcast I share the trials and tribulations of a middle-aged amateur triathlete. Take me along with you during your workout to hear about my personal experiences of training and racing and get some motivation to utilize for your own workouts. I'm not a coach. I'm not an interviewer. I'm a fellow triathlete!

Triathlon Is For Millionaires
Triathlon is expensive! The gear, tech, gels and whatnot can cost thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars. I'll never be able to afford to race :( But wait! You actually don't need that much stuff to participate in triathlon. I'll break down the basics for you.

Who Cares About What You Think?
Major props to The Stoic Coffee Blog for the content of this week's podcast. I've been thinking about the problem of opinions this week. I had a run in with someone on Reddit that centered around opinions. We don't have to have or share an opinion with anyone about anything! How freeing!
Disagree? Share your opinion with me at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com. Share your opinion? It's OK because I asked for it :) -
Heart Rate Training
I used to be addicted to my heart rate monitor but now I haven't worn one for 2 years. How do I feel about that? I came to grips with it today.

To Strength Train Or Not To Strength Train
We all spend so much time swimming and biking and running. Should we also throw in strength training? Who has the time? I have a great solution for you - bodyweight training at home!
Do you want a link to the video I've been training along with for the past 6 months? Email me at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com and I'll share, no questions asked, -
A Change Is As Good As A Rest
I'm going to let you in on a BIG change coming soon! It won't happen for a couple more months but I can't wait, I just have to let you know about it early.
Also, if you are interested in hearing about my "AI Coach", drop me a line at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com and I'll fill you in. -
I've Changed My Mind
I think I was wrong about Vitamin E supplementation! I was "tricked" into focusing on the mechanistic behavior of Vitamin E vs. the actual health outcomes. What do I mean? Listen to find out.
Do you disagree with me? Send me a note at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com. I won't bite.
