Joe Warne, PhD, is a researcher at the Technological University Dublin. Joe is a main driver behind the Sports Science Replication Centre, that aims to replicate studies in the field of sports science to critically evaluate the quality and validity of the research. Joe and his team recently published a large-scale study showing that only 28% of randomly selected studies could be replicated, which has led to great concerns regarding the quality and methodology in sports science, and could impact how we view and consume science. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: What are the replication concerns in sports science, and why does it matter? How can coaches and athletes navigate scientific research, given the methodological issues that exist? How to discern between more and less credible findings in sports scienceThe underlying issues: publication bias, underpowered study designs, and questionable research practicesThe way forwardDETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

#502 Meet Coach Lauren Brown   Welcome Welcome to Episode #502 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of news, coaching tips and discussion.   We are back after being away at USAT Nationals in Milwaukee and TriDot Pool School in Tempe, Arizona.   April, how was it coaching swimming on the Sun?   Rich, I might as well be walking on the sun, LOL! I remember I texted you and Coach La that I was living in Satan's butthole the past couple of days. I thought I was going to melt a couple of times. But seriously, even though it was hellfire hot, I had an incredible time and I can't wait to unpack that later in the show.   Show Sponsor: UCAN UCAN created LIVSTEADY as an alternative to sugar based nutrition products. LIVSTEADY was purposefully designed to work with your body, delivering long-lasting energy you can feel. Whether UCAN Energy Powders, Bars or Gels, LIVSTEADY's unique time-release profile allows your body to access energy consistently throughout the day, unlocking your natural ability to finish stronger and recover more quickly!   In Today's Show Announcements and News: Rich  Ask A Coach: Who is Coach Lauren Brown?

We had an improvement rate 15% across the board. Coach Dennis Hetland and I had the privilege of running Lane 3 – Aim High! – and we say remarkable results in both dropping stroke counts and smashing the 100-yard benchmark.   I want to give a special shout-out to Coach Gene Deyoe who was in my lane. Coach Gene dropped two strokes from his 25-yard distance, and 11 seconds off his 100-yard time! He had such a great attitude and always appreciated the feedback we gave. He was a joy to coach.   Second, we had Jay Camp, Coach Chad Rolf's athlete, in our lane and he was a hoot to work with! I especially enjoyed his dry sense of humor–very much like Coach Chad. He was also very receptive to feedback and his results showed how much work he put into his Functional Freestyle. He reduced his stroke count by 4 for 25 yards which is massive! Think about all that energy he will save because of his efficiency in the water! Get this, he shaved 29 seconds off his 100-yard benchmark. I was blown away by his improvements. He winked at me and told me not to tell his coach, which I promptly did LOL! Can't wait to hear how his new zones treat him after that incredible improvement.   Finally, the last thing I'll share is that even though it was hotter than hell on deck, we had some of the best lifeguards. They would come around every 20 minutes or so with buckets of cold water with rags that we could put on our heads and necks. It kept me from being a heat casualty for sure as the temps reached 114 degrees. So again, thank you to the McClintock Pool Lifeguards for coming in clutch last weekend! You made our pool school a huge success!    USAT Nationals Update: Milwaukee transformed into the epicenter of multisport excellence as it hosted the 2025 USA Triathlon Sprint and Olympic Distance National Championships. Thousands of amateur athletes from across the country descended on the city to compete, connect, and celebrate the sport we love. Race Highlights The action kicked off Friday with an open water swim in Lake Michigan, open to all registrants. Saturday brought the Olympic Distance National Championships, featuring a 1,500m swim, 40k bike, and 10k run. Athletes raced through Milwaukee's scenic lakefront, crossing the iconic Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge and finishing in Veterans Park [1]. Sunday was slated for the Sprint Distance Nationals and Paratriathlon Championships, but heavy overnight rain led to the cancellation of the sprint race for safety reasons [1]. Despite the disappointment, many athletes expressed gratitude for having raced earlier in the weekend. One athlete shared on Facebook: “Grateful I got to race yesterday. The stitches and bandaging got me through great. Heat, humidity, and wind were the factor yesterday, not the ankle wrap.” Yes, you heard that right—this athlete raced with stitches, tetanus, and antibiotics after a pre-race injury involving a bike and a hotel room. Talk about grit and determination! Celebration of Sport Gala & Hall of Fame Inductions Thursday night's Celebration of Sport Gala, hosted at Discovery World, was a moving tribute to the spirit of triathlon. The event honored the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame Class XIII, which included: Colleen Cannon – 1984 Nice World Champion and founder of Women's Quest. Graham Fraser – Race producer and visionary behind Ironman North America. Ellen Hart – 18-time World Age Group Champion and Ironman podium regular. Paul Martin – Paratriathlon legend and author who turned adversity into triumph. Kenny Souza – Duathlon pioneer and charismatic ambassador of the sport [2] [3]. Here's a breakdown of the 2025 USA Triathlon Hall of Fame inductees and their connections to Colorado: Colleen Cannon Lives in Boulder, Colorado. After retiring from professional racing, she founded Women's Quest, a Boulder-based adventure retreat company focused on empowering women through outdoor activities and wellness. She was inducted into the Boulder Sports Hall of Fame in 2017 [1]. Ellen Hart Lives in Niwot, Colorado, and previously served as First Lady of Denver during her marriage to former Denver Mayor Federico Peña. She is a longtime Colorado resident, Harvard graduate, and University of Colorado Law School alum. Hart has been a prominent figure in the Colorado endurance community and was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame [2]. Final Thoughts Milwaukee once again proved why it's a favorite host city for USA Triathlon. From the scenic course to the passionate community, the weekend was a celebration of perseverance, excellence, and camaraderie.

After years of competing in the figure and bodybuilding world, she found her way into multisport through duathlon in 2018 and transitioned to triathlon in 2019. She now races across sprint, Olympic, and 70.3 distances, with 70.3 being her favorite. Lauren is passionate about working with athletes of all backgrounds and experience levels, helping them navigate real-life challenges—like time constraints, fitness level, or self-doubt—to discover what they're truly capable of. As the Grit2Greatness Ambassador Program Manager, Lauren will lead the charge in building a vibrant community of athletes who proudly represent G2G—at races, on social media, and in everyday moments that matter. She's here to empower you, connect you, and help each of you feel even more supported on this journey. Lauren, we are beyond excited to have you on board Questions for Lauren: Two Truths and a LIe Icebreaker: I danced on stage with Brittney Spears, I once got lost on a training ride and ended up in a different state; Before being an endurance athlete, I competed as a pro with the International Federation of Body Builders Where did you grow up and where do you call home? Tell us about your athlete journey? Tell us about your coach journey? Your vision for the G2G ambassador program? When I think about the Grit2Greatness Ambassador Program, I picture a true community—one that builds on the incredible foundation we've already created, but keeps growing in depth, reach, and connection. In our world, every athlete has a seat at the table. Whether you're brand new to the sport or you've been racing for decades, whether you prefer the excitement of a sprint or the challenge of an IRONMAN, you belong here. This is a space where every athlete is encouraged to step in, be seen, and thrive. My biggest hope for this year is to welcome a wave of new athletes into triathlon—people who may have been curious, but unsure if they'd fit in—and show them that this sport is for everyone. And beyond racing, I want this to be a place where we support each other's growth both inside and outside of sport. I'd love for us to lead more community events, take part in races together, and deepen relationships with race directors and the brands that make our sport stronger. My heart tells me this program is just at the beginning of its potential, and I truly cannot wait to see what we create together. Get Gritty Tip: 66-Day Challenge! Rich, as you know, I am a huge fan of the book, The ONE Thing, by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan and one of the favorite lessons I learned is about the power of breaking down habits into bite size pieces that you can consistently sustain over time. I've actually crafted several keystone habits over the past five years through using the tools from The ONE Thing.  For example, I built the habit of setting aside my gym clothes every night before work. We have our habit of reading the Daily Stoic as a morning ritual, and now we share our 3 wins and 3 things we are grateful for each day. These habits have been critical for helping me make each day purpose-driven and intentionally meaningful. So that brings me to the habit I am now currently working on. I decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted to complete 10 unassisted pull-ups by the end of 2025. I was going strong for the first 3 months and kind of fell off with the start of race season. Well, after doing my mid-year reset I realized I needed to get back on the proverbial horse, and what better way to do that than a 66-day pull-up challenge! So why 66 days? If you've read The ONE Thing then you'll remember in Chapter #6 the discussion around a study the University College of London did on how long it takes on average to create a habit–66 days. So my challenge, because I know how important it is to start small, is to complete 1 pull per day for 66 days. Now, I do as many as I can and right now, I'm on Day 10 and I'm up to 4 unassisted pull-ups. I also use a band and knock out as many as I can with the assist to help me continue to progress. I'm also hoping I can start adding in weighted pull-ups as we get further down the road. The other part of the challenge is to post the evidence on social media which 1) keeps me accountable, and 2) inspires others to join me! I found out today that Coach Will Nichols, @coachironwill on Instagram, bought his own pull-up bar and started his 66-day pull-up challenge!  So I want to throw the challenge out there to you, Rich, and to our audience! It doesn't have to be pull-ups, but what's one thing you can commit to doing for 66 days that helps you on your athletic journey! I want you to share with us and tag me @getgrittywithme on Instagram so I can cheer you on just like Coach Will!   TriDot Workout of the Week: Orientation Swim   Open Water Swim is the Workout of the Week I've chosen for a couple of reasons. One, it is so helpful to get in the body of water you will be racing in and get a feel for swim start, current, temperature, lighting, sun direction, weeds, swim exit, which goggles work best,  etc.    In Milwaukee this was key. They had the course setup and we were able to swim the buoys through the bridge and practice the swim exit as it would be on race day. It also gave us the opportunity  to get comfortable with the high likelihood of the race not being wetsuit legal.I chose to do the practice swim in just my TriDot swim jammers.   Here's a full list of benefits: Course Familiarization Swim the actual course (or as much as allowed) to understand sighting landmarks, turns, and exit points. Identify key buoys: Start buoy, turn buoys, and finish buoy. Practice sighting using fixed landmarks (buildings, trees, flags) beyond the buoys. Note water entry and exit terrain: Is it sandy, rocky, slippery, or grassy? Environmental Awareness Assess water conditions: Temperature, current, chop, visibility. Practice breathing on both sides if waves or sun glare may affect one side. Check for wind direction and how it may affect swim navigation. Gear Check Test your race-day gear: Goggles (anti-fog), wetsuit, swim cap. Practice wetsuit entry and exit to simulate transitions. Try different goggles if visibility or sun glare is an issue. Mental Preparation Visualize race morning: From lining up at the start to exiting the water. Practice your start strategy: Deep water start, beach start, or time trial start. Swim with others to simulate race-day contact and drafting. Technique & Strategy Practice sighting rhythm: Every 6–10 strokes is typical. Work on pacing: Start controlled, build into race effort. Try drafting behind or beside another swimmer if allowed. Safety & Logistics Locate lifeguards or safety personnel and understand emergency protocols. Note the location of medical tents or aid stations near swim exit. Time your swim to understand how long it takes at race pace.   Fun Segment: Triathlon Hot Takes Debate! So I happened upon this article in Triathlete Magazine titled “7 Spicy-Hot Debates Triathletes Can't Stop Arguing” and I thought this would be a perfectly juicy topic of discussion for this week's fun segment! Your assignment is to convincingly argue your case in 20 seconds or less. Time to bring the heat! Are you Team Bare or Team Hair: Do you shave your body hair for triathlon or go au naturel? Which is harder: Training for an Ironman or training for a marathon PR? Flying dismount or unclipping, foot down? White Tri Suits? Yay or Nay? Sprint or jog into the finisher chute? Post every workout on social media, or no? Which is more impressive? Ironman World Champion or Olympic Champion? Well there you have it. We laid our opinions on the line and now it's your turn! We want to hear from you: are you team bare or team hair? Is training for a marathon PR harder than training for an Ironman? And what about white tri suits? Give us your opinions and we'll see who truly won the Triathlon Hot Takes Debate!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Dr. Tommy Martin joins Mike and Ashley to share his remarkable journey through triathlon and endurance sports. Certified as both a pediatrician and an adult physician, Tommy humorously advises Ashley—despite her “child-sized” frame—that she still needs an adult doctor. From coaching his wife to a Boston Marathon qualification to running full marathons with 20lb and 40lb weighted vests Tommy thrives on unique challenges. He doesn't consider himself elite, yet he completed his first triathlon at Ironman Texas, gone sub-10 at Ironman Arizona the day after a powerlifting competition, and he's qualified for both the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Now chasing a sub-2:40 marathon, Tommy shares his training insights, race stories, and even his unsponsored opinion on popular drones. Whether you're chasing your first finish line or your fastest time, this conversation is packed with inspiration and laughs.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Race goals too high, or maybe to low? How do you handle the ups and downs of a very long day. Never believe how you feel, for one. Practice getting through certain feelings. If you're going to obsess about certain things, make sure they are the right things. Just like life, races can go up and down. Live in the gray. Figure out a way.  Topics: Morning activities Second guessing Distraction Mode Getting your mind right Thinking about the RIGHT things before a race Planning for difference scenarios Sifting through a million training thoughts Getting over a false start Let go of extreme emotions Races as microcosm of life Things will change Thinking about a day off too much? Cut your race into chunks The swim course could be long (or short) Don't judge a race too early Temper over-excrement and negativity Don't walk There's only so much you can withstand Did you look at your last 72 hours?

Natasha Romanoff. Daughter. Sister. Avenger.Natasha made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Iron Man 2 as a mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, quickly becoming a core member of the Avengers despite lacking superpowers. The character evolved from a supporting femme fatale into one of the MCU's most complex heroes; a former Russian child assassin grappling with her dark past while seeking redemption through heroic acts, and finally finding a family. Her journey culminated in the ultimate sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame, giving her life to obtain the Soul Stone and save the universe.Marvel had been talking about a solo Black Widow film for years since her 2010 debut, but it had never come to pass. It's not the first time a solo film had been talked about for Natasha Romanoff. Lions Gate held the rights to the character in the early 2000s, but that movie idea was scuppered due to the failure of other female-led action movies. Black Widow's solo film finally arrived in 2021, making it an eleven-year wait from her MCU introduction. The delay was attributed to Marvel's former leadership's reluctance to greenlight female-led superhero films, concerns about their commercial viability, as well as the planned Infinity Saga narrative needing to focus on introducing other characters, like Black Panther and Captain Marvel. Black Widow would give fans a much-needed backstory for Natasha, as well as introduce her sister, Yelena. The importance of both characters extends beyond individual heroism to representation. Natasha proved female characters could carry major action sequences and emotional weight in the MCU, while Yelena's introduction ensures the Black Widow legacy continues, representing a new generation of complex female heroes who can anchor future MCU stories.I would love to hear your thoughts on Black Widow (2021) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Desde pequeno, ele teve contato com o esporte. Passou pela natação, tênis e taekwondo durante a infância e adolescência. Já adulto, priorizou os estudos e a carreira, movido pelo desejo de alcançar a independência financeira. Construiu uma trajetória sólida no mercado financeiro, com passagens por banco de investimento, fundos de private equity e asset management. Mais tarde, assumiu o desafio de liderar empresas de tecnologia: foi co-CEO da Easy Taxi e vice-presidente de operações do Nubank, período em que consolidou sua reputação como especialista em gestão de pessoas e cultura organizacional. Durante os anos mais intensos da vida profissional, buscou no ioga uma forma de equilíbrio diante da rotina estressante. Experimentou a corrida, mas foi interrompido pela pandemia. Em 2022, incentivado por amigos, descobriu o triatlo. Desde então, encontrou no esporte uma extensão de seus valores: disciplina, constância, resiliência e aprendizado constante. Participou de alguns Ironman 70.3, de uma maratona e de provas de ciclismo. Em maio deste ano ele viveu um dos dias mais felizes da sua vida ao completar o Ironman Brasil, em Florianópolis. Conosco aqui, ele que é formado em Administração Pública, conselheiro e investidor em empresas de tecnologia, mentor no G4 Educação e, mais recentemente, também um Ironman: o paulistano Dennis Wang.

AI hearing technology is redefining what it means to stay connected, healthy, and high-performing in today's fast-moving world. Leading that transformation is Brandon Sawalich, President & CEO of Starkey—the only American-owned major hearing aid manufacturer and a global pioneer in intelligent hearing solutions. With over 30 years at Starkey, Sawalich has led the company from legacy roots to a billion-dollar enterprise operating in over 100 markets. His focus? Making hearing health a frontline conversation in wearable tech and wellness. “We wanted to go from incremental improvements to the moonshot,” Sawalich said. “How do we make hearing aids cool? How do we make them do more? That's where AI came in.” Under his leadership, Starkey became the first to integrate AI hearing technology and embedded sensors into hearing aids. These aren't traditional devices—they're multifunctional health tools that can track steps, detect falls, translate languages, and provide real-time environmental adjustments. The AI is always on, continuously learning and optimizing based on surroundings. “It's your personal assistant, it's Jarvis in your ear,” Sawalich added, referencing Iron Man's intuitive AI companion. He's also changing the cultural narrative around hearing loss. “You think of a hearing aid and you think you're old. That's not how I think. Hearing is your superpower.” Sawalich's approach to innovation isn't just about technology—it's grounded in people-first leadership. His belief in servant leadership shapes the culture at Starkey, a company with more than 5,000 employees worldwide. “I don't see myself at the top of the pyramid. I work for the people of Starkey,” he said. “It's my job to give them the resources and clear vision to be the best.” What sets Starkey apart in the crowded health tech space is its blend of purpose and agility. As a privately held company, Starkey doesn't answer to shareholders—it answers to patients and providers. That freedom has allowed the company to move quickly, take calculated risks, and focus on long-term impact over short-term gains. AI hearing technology is often overlooked compared to wearables like smartwatches or rings, but the ear is emerging as one of the most powerful access points for real-time health data. “The ear is the pathway to the brain,” Sawalich noted. “It's where meaningful insights can happen—if you know how to listen.” From shaping policy to expanding into new distribution channels, Starkey continues to lead with vision. But at its core, the mission remains deeply human: to connect people through better hearing and help them live fuller, healthier lives. As Sawalich puts it, “Whatever you do, be passionate about it—and help others succeed along the way.” Watch the full episode on YouTube.

In this episode, host Matt Lieto chats with Danish pro triathlete Kristian Høgenhaug, known for his aggressive racing style and consistency.

Episode 200! I can't quite believe we've reached this point: two hundred conversations, stories, and reflections shared with you. And for this milestone, I wanted to talk about something that's been weaving through all of them: the power of metaphor. From Iron Man's first suit to the parables of Jesus, from Joseph Campbell's wisdom to Pete Holmes' “finger and moon,” metaphors shape how we see the world and ourselves. In this episode of Clemenz With a “Z”, I explore why we need metaphors, how they sneak past our defenses to speak to the heart, and what happens when we mistake the metaphor for the thing itself. Along the way, I connect modern myths like Marvel movies to ancient scripture, and even take a surprising detour into The Lord of the Rings to unpack Smeagol's haunting transformation into Gollum. Whether it's a shepherd, a superhero, or a hobbit clutching his “precious,” these stories are pointing us toward something bigger, if we're willing to look past the finger and see the moon. If this episode meant something to you, I'd love it if you'd take a second to like, subscribe, and leave a review, it really helps more people find the show.

In the movies, Tony Stark's JARVIS is the ultimate AI assistant, managing schedules, running simulations, controlling environments, and anticipating needs before they are voiced. In reality, today's AI agents are still far from that vision. Despite 2025 being heralded as the year of agentic AI, the first offerings from major players have been underwhelming. They can perform tasks, but they remain a long way from the seamless, hyper-intelligent assistants we imagined. In this episode, Dr. Robert “Bobby” Blumofe, CTO at Akamai Technologies, joins me to explore what is really holding AI assistants back and what it will take to build one as capable as a top human executive assistant. Bobby argues that the leap forward will not come from chasing ever-larger models but from optimization, efficiency, and integrating AI with the right tools, infrastructure, and processes. He believes that breakthroughs in model efficiency, like those seen in DeepSeek, could make capable agents affordable and viable for everyday use. We break down the spectrum of AI agents from simple, task-specific helpers to the fully autonomous, general-purpose vision of JARVIS. Bobby shares why many of the most valuable enterprise applications will come from the middle ground, where agents are semi-autonomous, task-focused, and integrated with other systems for reliability. He also explains why smaller, specialized models often outperform “ask me anything” LLMs for specific business use cases, reducing cost, latency, and security risks. The conversation covers Akamai's role in enabling low-latency, scalable AI at the edge, the importance of combining neural and symbolic AI to achieve reliable reasoning and planning, and a realistic five-to-seven-year timeline for assistants that can rival the best human EAs. We also look at the technical, social, and business challenges ahead, from over-reliance on LLMs to the ethics of deploying highly capable agents at scale. This is a grounded, forward-looking discussion on the future of AI assistants, where they are today, why they have fallen short, and the practical steps needed to turn fiction into reality.

The Superhero Show Show #597Spider-Man Enters the Secret WarsThe Superhero Show Show: Spider-Man Enters the Secret WarsThis week on The Superhero Show Show, the hosts swing into one of the most ambitious arcs of Spider-Man: The Animated Series—Secret Wars, Chapter 1: Arrival. Right from the start, the stakes skyrocket as Spider-Man is whisked away from New York to an alien world. There, the all-powerful Beyonder handpicks him to lead a team of Earth's heroes against a deadly alliance of villains.The Beyonder's Game BeginsTo begin, the panel breaks down how the episode wastes no time setting the tone for Secret Wars. The mysterious Beyonder suddenly plucks Spider-Man from his daily life, then transports him to a strange planet built from fragments of different worlds. His mission is clear: unite a squad of Marvel's greatest heroes to face off against an equally dangerous collection of villains.Furthermore, the hosts explore how this storyline instantly raises the scale of the series—from street-level adventures to intergalactic stakes. They emphasize the Beyonder's cryptic motives, the unique design of the Battleworld setting, and the growing sense of anticipation that builds throughout the episode.Recruiting Marvel's FinestNext, the group dives into one of the most enjoyable parts of Secret Wars: Chapter 1—watching Spider-Man handpick his team. The panel laughs over Spidey's awkward yet determined recruitment efforts, as he brings in Captain America, Iron Man, Storm, and the Fantastic Four's Thing. Each hero contributes a distinct personality and power set, which sets up plenty of potential for both teamwork and tension.In addition, the hosts note how the show cleverly gives each hero a brief introduction for new viewers without slowing the pace. This balance ensures that the story remains engaging while still welcoming those unfamiliar with the wider Marvel universe.Villains AssembleMeanwhile, the Beyonder's challenge would not be complete without a formidable opposing force. The episode's other half focuses on Doctor Doom, Red Skull, Doctor Octopus, and the Lizard as they prepare for battle. The group discusses how Doom quickly positions himself as the strategic mastermind, while the other villains underestimate Spider-Man's leadership skills.Moreover, they point out how the episode masterfully builds suspense by teasing the intense confrontations still to come in the arc, leaving fans eager for the next installment.Final Thoughts: Secret Wars Sets the Stage for Epic BattlesIn conclusion, the hosts agree that Secret Wars: Chapter 1 – Arrival serves as the perfect setup for a multi-part event. With a high-concept premise, a massive cast of Marvel icons, and the promise of world-shaking battles, it propels Spider-Man: The Animated Series into truly epic territory.Ultimately, whether you're revisiting the series or experiencing it for the first time, this episode proves that Secret Wars remains one of the most ambitious and thrilling animated Marvel stories ever told.Links and ResourcesMissed our previous episodes of Spider-Man the Animated Series?

It's hot, we're deep in training, and the easiest decision is giving up. But don't spend too much time on the wrong road. Today, we look at why figuring out a way when you're struggling is the biggest win. That can mean toning it down for a bit, regrouping, or simply working on your mechanics. We all want to be strong and fast, but some days it's just not there. The true reward is in the struggle. We do this for ourselves and hopefully the lessons translate into other areas of our lives. As Bukowski said, “What matters most is how you walk through the fire.” How do you handle challenges?  Topics: Louisville 70.3 will be hot . . . imagine that? Having a healthy level of fear When your behavior becomes unbecoming Know your race and time of year before you sign up Remember the good days Figure out a way When we want to quit the workout . . . what should we do? The power of toning things down Take a breath and work on mechanics Pre-built workouts The problem with “power and FTP” Thoughtful and intentional workouts Don't just quit TransRockies . . . how do you prepare for 120 miles in 6 days? The mental toughness is the reward When you know it's gonna suck Taking care of yourself Don't spend too much time on the wrong road   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

“It took me 12 years to write it and get it to a publisher… writing a book was a lot harder than an Ironman.” In this heartfelt episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with Betsy Armstrong—writer, mom, athlete, and philanthropist—to explore the winding path that led her to authorship. From losing her mother at 23, to navigating midlife, infertility, and ultimately adopting two children from Russia, Betsy's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical love. Her memoir, The Mother of All Decisions, dives into the legacy of mother loss and the power of choosing motherhood in her late 40s. Whether you're grieving, writing your way through pain, or redefining your life at midlife, this conversation will move and motivate you. Key Takeaways: Grief can be a catalyst for personal transformation—if we're brave enough to face it. Writing is not just creative expression; it's a powerful tool for healing. Adopting at midlife brought unexpected challenges—and immeasurable joy. It's never too late to become the person you're meant to be. Even careers that don't seem “creative” (like nonprofit work or sales) can build skills for storytelling. Memoir writing takes time, support, and revision—it really does take a village. You don't need to have all the answers to begin writing—just a willingness to be honest. Buy The Mother of All Decisions: A Memoir of Mother Loss, Legacy, and Adopting Kids in Midlife.

You might already be familiar with filling out the FAFSA form, or you might only know it by reputation. That reputation is somewhere between filing your annual income taxes and running an Ironman triathalon. Revisions, technology issues and widespread confusion over the availability of the form over the past two years might make it seem even more sinister.Let's back up. What is the FAFSA? If you have a child finishing high school this school year, the FAFSA plays a big part in determining how much financial aid you could receive—including grants, loans and scholarships—to help pay for college. In Indiana, most families are now required by law to fill out the FAFSA unless they seek a waiver.   Despite recent tumult, all signs point to the FAFSA being ready to fill out this year by the traditional launch date of Oct. 1. Our guest this week is Bill Wozniak, vice president and chief marketing officer of INvestEd, a nonprofit based in Indianapolis and created by the Indiana Legislature to help families navigate the FAFSA process. He provides an overview for the uninitiated and shares some of the biggest misconceptions of FAFSA. For example, if you think you are sufficiently wealthy to put any financial assistance out of reach, you very well could be wrong. If you think you just need to get it done by the end of the year, you might want to think again. And, Wozniak says, the process isn't nearly as arduous today as its reputation might suggest.
