  • Show has potential

    They have great guests but the hosts just talk over each other and don’t let the guest share their stories. I’m not here for the podcast hosts. I’m here for the guest. Hopefully upcoming shows take this into consideration.

Rowan Cox: Breaking NAG Records & Training at Texas | Episode 312
Q: What was the hardest thing about Texas training that outsiders don't see?
Maintaining 100% presence in every drill and being ready to be called out if you slip, which builds mental toughness and ensures consistency across workouts.
Anna Moesch: The Massive Training Changes Behind Her Record-Breaking Freestyle Surge: Episode 308
Q: What is your approach to sets and pacing that prepares you for big meets like Nationals?
I focus on repeatability with sets that build confidence in fast, controlled 100s and 200s, while gradually pushing toward race-specific paces to ensure I can execute under pressure.
Anna Moesch: The Massive Training Changes Behind Her Record-Breaking Freestyle Surge: Episode 308
Q: How has training away from college dorms and managing nutrition impacted your performance?
Living on my own has allowed me to optimize meals and iron intake, which has helped me feel healthier and more prepared for demanding practice blocks.
Anna Moesch: The Massive Training Changes Behind Her Record-Breaking Freestyle Surge: Episode 308
Q: What do you think has contributed most to your recent improvements and the ability to chase world-record pace?
A combination of mindset shift, embracing long-course training with more aerobic work, and a supportive, high-standard coaching environment that pushes me beyond what I thought possible.
Liberty Clark: How 4-Day-a-Week Training Built a 1:39 200 Freestyler | Episode 305
Q: How did IU's program change your training and how much input did you have in your freshman year?
She describes a collaborative dynamic with her coach where she could voice needs and adjust plans, moving from lower-volume training to a targeted conditioning phase and then to more specific workouts.
