Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pre and Post Endurance Race Preparation with Jill and Troy
Q: Why is mental preparation emphasized alongside physical training?
Because the hardest miles are often mental; having a plan and practicing race-day psychology helps you stay focused, manage pacing, and push through the wall.
IRONMAN Women's World Championship Kona Race Recap with Age Group Athletes
Q: How did the wind and water conditions at Kona affect your race strategy on the bike and swim?
The group describes a very windy, rough bike course with the Harvey climb feeling especially brutal and power numbers dipping in the back half, while the swim was choppy with waves causing contact and seasickness for some, requiring a focus on form and pacing.
Special Episode - IMF + An Announcement!
Q: What are you most excited for at Kona this year?
The excitement centers on the big stage, the opportunity to showcase the growth of Foundation athletes, and the anticipation of strong performances and personal stories from the team.
From Kona to Kansas: Taking on Unbound Gravel 200
Q: How does training for a 200-mile gravel race differ from a standard 100-mile or Ironman plan?
Training piggybacks on long weekend rides and weekly volume, but you must balance stress and recovery to avoid derailing the rest of the week's training; sustained endurance is built gradually, with careful attention to crossover training like swimming and strength, and occasional short runs when appropriate.
From First Sprint to What's Next: Our Baby Triathlete's Triathlon Debrief
Q: Tell me about the triathlon.
Sharon describes the race as an early-start sprint with a pool swim, a three-loop bike course with hills, and a run that challenged her on distance and pacing. She emphasizes the learning curve of transition timing, gear choices, and staying calm in the crowd, and she highlights the supportive, beginner-friendly nature of the event.
