  • From Informative to “me monster”

    Sad I can’t even listen to this anymore, have listened for years and has gone from helpful to I don’t even know if they even talk about actual helpful intellectual triathlon topics, they just talk about themselves, answer questions about themselves and focus on being “celebrities” and give opinions on favorite colors and places to eat… too many other great podcasts now that give good insightful researched information, I had to just fast forward to the end the last few of these…. It’s become a I... more

  • Used to love these guys

    Used to love these guys. Was a long time paying podcast supporter, Insta, Strava, TTL app and merch, watched every YouTube, etc. Then they had to do what people in the entertainment industry can’t seem to wrap their heads around. Stop bringing your political opinions and views into the things that people watch purely to get away from that. Everyone knows there are problems, and no one cares what your opinion is.

  • Canadian provinces

    Listen regularly. Was a little put off by Nick’s comments re Newfoundland/Labrador. Being Canadian I thought that was a very dismissive/typical American discussion re the Canadian province. Overall like the podcast but that was pretty rude.

  • Glad you all said something.

    Thanks for speaking about the dissonance of listening/podcasting and the problems of killing protesters

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kona race week, Paula is calm and the boys are not, washboard gravel roads, backing out on a race with a friend, and more!
Q: What are the best strategies for gravel washboard roads during a race or training ride?
Focus on finding a balance between staying seated and standing to absorb bumps, adjust tire pressure downward for more comfort, and look for smoother segments while accepting that you won't eliminate all the hardship.
FTP tests, do pros actually do them? Paula's brutal Ironman swim set, rest days vs. active recovery, and more!
Q: FTP tests for seasoned athletes. Do you as professionals ever do them? When was the last time you did? How were your zones created and do they change?
Yes, pros still do FTP-type assessments, but many rely on ramp tests and race data rather than rigid hourly tests. Zonal data is often built from historical workouts, race performances, and lab tests, with coaches using a mix of high-intensity sessions and race-specific efforts to set zones rather than relying on a single static number.
Triathlon nightmares, going 100% in a race vs. racing smart, the most polished pros on the circuit, and more!
Q: What makes a good high school swimming coach, and how could that translate to mentoring young triathletes?
A good coach inspires, cares deeply, and communicates with purpose; coaching youth involves balancing fun with discipline, providing clear cues, and instilling a hunger to improve while keeping the environment supportive.
Triathlon nightmares, going 100% in a race vs. racing smart, the most polished pros on the circuit, and more!
Q: How do you handle race-day nerves and the fear of missing the start in terms of mental preparation?
Common practice is to develop layered safety nets and routines (alarm checks, gear checks) and to normalize the fear as part of being a competitor, while focusing on controllable elements to avoid catastrophic errors.
Triathlon nightmares, going 100% in a race vs. racing smart, the most polished pros on the circuit, and more!
Q: What is your approach to recovery after a major race, and how much does race-specific recovery differ from regular training recovery?
Recovery often blends practical steps (hydration, nutrition, rest) with longer-term adjustments; during the magic window after a race, the focus is on forward planning rather than rapid perfection, and staying around supportive people helps mental health.
