Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let the Training Come to You
Q: Can you go into what you do for nutrition?
It's crucial to consume high-carb nutrition every 20 to 30 minutes during racing, and overfuelling in initial stages of training is better than risking a bonk later on.
Let the Training Come to You
Q: How to get effective training while being a dad?
The key to effective training when balancing being a dad and working full-time is waking up early, structuring workouts around family commitments, and prioritizing consistency.
Let the Training Come to You
Q: What have we learned from triathlon training that would have helped you the most in collegiate running?
One key takeaway is the importance of cross-training and maintaining fitness through various forms of aerobic exercise rather than solely focusing on running volume.
From Age Group Champion to Pro - Josh Monda
Q: How did your preparation differ going into Ironman Canada?
I focused more on climbing and dynamic pacing due to the challenging course profile.
From Age Group Champion to Pro - Josh Monda
Q: What led you to transition from amateur to professional triathlete?
