  • Podcast has turned into an advertisement for becoming a member

    Used to be a staple of my triathlon and fitness education and was a former PP athlete but I feel that podcasts as of late are just advertisements for becoming a PP athlete.

  • Used to be better

    I was a big follower and also bought the books. However in the last year or so, this seems to have become a commercial platform pushing testing companies and other products. Has become a lot like Triathlon Taren (Motiv). Hopefully can come back from this…..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

396 - Race Season Fueling: Your Performance Nutrition Playbook with Megan Foley, RD
Q: How should athletes train race fueling and their gut so they can execute successfully on race day?
Start practicing in training, build intake gradually over eight to twelve weeks, track digestive symptoms and sweat losses, and rehearse with the products intended for race day. Prioritize longer, more intense sessions for in-session fueling practice.
396 - Race Season Fueling: Your Performance Nutrition Playbook with Megan Foley, RD
Q: What are some of the common mistakes athletes make as training heats up and racing demands start to loom?
Foley says athletes often focus on reaching a target race weight instead of performance and may fail to increase fueling as training intensity and energy expenditure rise. Under-fueling can undermine recovery, sleep, motivation, and health.
401 - Fewer Miles, Faster Finish: Racing a Marathon on 35mi/week
Q: Why are marathons so hard?
Marathons demand a synergy of cardiovascular conditioning, muscular endurance, tissue durability, efficiency (economy), and biomechanics, all under fatigue and precise fueling, with the race distance amplifying the impact of any weaknesses.
Win Cycle: Mental Performance Specialist Jeff Troesch on Race Anxiety, Confidence, and the Mental Game of Racing Your Best
Q: What is a practical exercise listeners can start with now to reduce perfectionistic thinking?
Begin by challenging whether thoughts are fact or opinion and assess whether they are helpful; use race journals to document concrete progress and remind yourself of what you can control rather than chasing an unattainable perfection.
Win Cycle: Mental Performance Specialist Jeff Troesch on Race Anxiety, Confidence, and the Mental Game of Racing Your Best
Q: How should athletes frame confidence in the weeks leading up to a race?
Confidence is a choice about what you give power to in the moment; focus on factual evidence of training and proven traits, and keep confidence anchored in those realities rather than shifting self-doubt based on mood.
