Today we look at all the unnecessary stress triathletes tend to put on themselves. We talk about why it's not only bad for performance, but general health and happiness. We get into panic training and over training. The effect of accumulating stress.... more
Fresh off a "jump in" race in his former stomping grounds, Mike talks about his experience at Ironman 70.3 Rockford. We get into pre-race, the strategy, adapting strategy, the current, the wind, the roads, the volunteers, and much more. We really div... more
The guys discuss Mike's last minute registration for Rockford 70.3 and the concept of jumping into a race on a whim. They go through the challenges but mostly the benefits and why he'll approach it more like a practice test than a training day. There... more

Have been listening to these guys for sooo many years. So relatable. So refreshing. Lots of great info not just in sports but how it ties to life as well. Thanks!!!
The life, coaching, training and race experience from these guys has really helped me gauge my training with different perspectives . I’m in no way coached by these two, but sometimes it feels like it. They’re relatable and each episode delivers a different outlook on topics relating to triathlon. Keep it up, Gents!
I like every topic. The simplicity, the thoughtfulness, you guys sharing so authentically your journeys. It’s a big 5 stars. Thanks for the generosity.
Line - Quebec 3times Ironman (so far)
Love these guys! I’ve probably tried all triathlon and endurance related podcasts over the last three or four years, and I keep coming back to Robbie and Mike. Their real world approach to life, training, and being a human being translates in a one-of-a-kind conversation about this amazing sport. They don’t do sponsors, they don’t do ads, they just want us to be happy and healthy, and they keep showing up twice a week! Really worth giving them a try, hang out for three or four episodes to get th... more
Can’t listen anymore. Robbie brings insightful advice through intelligence born from adversity and study of the sport. Type A with compassion for those who are not. His counter part,
Mike -Type C to the core,
makes constant excuses as to why he is ALWAYs undertrained for race, offers little value to the podcast other than a “ I couldn’t agree with you more… “ How he coaches athletes and takes money from them is a mystery. Robbie… the dude helped you out in a low period but you’re too smar... more
