  Episode 144: Workout Creativity, Key Recovery Principles, and Ironman Canada Review

  Aug 13, 202656 min

  In this week's episode, we talk about getting creative with your workouts when heat, time, terrain, or life get in the way, and why understanding the intention of a workout gives you more flexibility than you might think. We also dive into key recovery principles for high-volume training as Jim prepares to tackle the Haute Route, a seven-day cycling race in the Alps, including fueling before the workout is even over, hydration, sleep, cooling down, and arriving at a big event with a full "body battery." Finally, we take a closer look at Ironman Canada in Ottawa and how it stacks up against Ironman Lake Placid, from travel and logistics to course difficulty and choosing the race that best aligns with your goals.

  Episode 140: Adventure Training, Better Goal Events, and Lessons We Wish We Learned Earlier

  Jul 16, 202657 min

  In this week's episode, we dive into how novelty and adventure can reignite motivation, from using travel and exploration to make training more fun to choosing goal events that actually match your strengths and what you genuinely enjoy. We also share practical questions to help you identify races you'll love training for, discuss what to do when the joy of training starts to fade, and reflect on the biggest training lessons we wish we'd fully internalized years ago, from learning to train the athlete you are today to why consistency, recovery, and easy training matter more than hero workouts. We wrap with practical ways to become a better athlete this summer, even when the heat makes pace feel discouraging. Check it out!
