Podcasts about Athlinks

Would you rather be hot forever or cold forever? Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction and why? If you had to delete one food from existing in the universe what would you delete? Brittany and Tiff go over their own answers to their warm up questions, look back over some of Season 4's most memorable answers, and recount some behind the scenes happening. Plus Tiff grapples with the fact that she has no memory of running a race that her Athlinks profile says she did. Don't miss this hilarious wrap-up to Season 4 of the Terra Girls Podcast!

Episode 96 - The Redemption Episode ft. Sea Otter Recap, Tire Talk, and More What up party people. Let's just address the giant elephant in the room from the jump. Last weeks audio straight up sucked. I know it, you know it, and apparently every beer binging, cat loving internet troll also knows it too. Look, I did the best I could to try and salvage the entire episode while working with corrupted files but lesson learned, now I know to just scrap it rather than put out a dumpster fire episode like that again. Anyways, I had more time to work with yet another set of jank ass files this week so I'm coining this the redemption episode because after days of editing I was able to revive the final cut back to our usual standards (which fortunately that bar is already pretty low). We are actively seeking a replacement for myself so I can better spend my time and alleviate myself from all the hate mail and death threats from y'all hooligans (okay luckily there weren't any actual death threats but damn it sure felt like it at times). SO if you're listening and you think you have the skills to be a top notch producer and want to throw your application in the hat, you've got until end of day Sunday to drop us a note. We're looking to hire someone stat. Let's see, what else. Oh yeah, the episode. We've got Sea Otter recap, tire talk, and more coming right up. If you have any questions or feedback for the show you can drop us a note at bonkbrospodcast@gmail.com or you can holla at ya boys on the Bonk Bros insta (@bonkbros @dylanjawnson @adamsaban6 @tylerclouti @raddaddizzle @scottmcgilljr).

They talk about clearing cache and browser history, and the challenges of using different browsers. They then move on to discuss listener feedback and the importance of audio quality in podcasts. The conversation shifts to a discussion about a recent gravel race, with a focus on the performance of different riders and the quality of their tires. They also talk about the results of the race and the performance of the hosts. The conversation ends with a brief mention of live coverage of the race and the release of a podcast episode. The conversation revolves around the lack of live coverage and accurate race results in the cycling industry. The hosts discuss the frustration of not being able to follow races in real-time and the unreliable nature of race results on platforms like Athlinks. They also touch on topics like VO2 max testing, the performance of different athletes in the Seattle Classic race, and the trade show aspect of the event. The conversation ends with a discussion about tire choices for gravel racing. The conversation covers various topics including bike weights, Sea Otter tech, prize money in cycling, and listener feedback on audio quality. The hosts discuss the discrepancy between the claimed revenue of the Lifetime Grand Prix series and the relatively low prize money. They also explore the idea of offering a larger prize purse to attract top-level riders to events like Unbound. The conversation ends with a discussion about the challenges of managing listener feedback and the time-consuming nature of responding to emails. In this final part of the conversation, the hosts discuss the issue of receiving feedback and criticism from listeners. They debate whether or not to pay attention to negative comments and how to improve audio quality. They also answer a listener question about what to do when you forget your cycling shoes on a remote ride. The hosts share their opinions on waiting in the car, riding in road shoes, or riding in Crocs and socks. They also briefly discuss flying with bikes and offer tips on packing and protecting the bike.   Keywords audio quality, technical difficulties, browser, cache, listener feedback, gravel race, tires, performance, results, live coverage, podcast episode, live coverage, race results, cycling industry, Athlinks, VO2 max, Seattle Classic, trade show, tire choices, gravel racing, bike weights, Sea Otter tech, prize money, cycling, audio quality, listener feedback, feedback, criticism, audio quality, listener question, cycling shoes, remote ride, flying with bikes, packing   Takeaways Clearing cache and browser history can sometimes cause technical difficulties Audio quality is important in podcasts and can impact listener experience Tire choice can greatly affect performance in gravel races Results and performance in races can vary and are influenced by various factors Live coverage of races can be unreliable Releasing podcast episodes early can lead to misunderstandings and criticism The lack of live coverage and accurate race results in the cycling industry is a source of frustration for both athletes and fans. Platforms like Athlinks often have unreliable and incomplete race results, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. VO2 max testing can have a significant impact on an athlete's perception of their talent and potential. The Seattle Classic race had some surprising results, with athletes like Chase Warke and Samara Shepard performing well. The Seattle Classic event combines both racing and a trade show, highlighting the dual nature of the event. Tire choice is an important consideration for gravel racing, with different riders opting for different tread patterns and tire pressures. The hosts question the low prize money in the Lifetime Grand Prix series compared to the revenue generated by the event. They discuss the potential of offering a larger prize purse to attract top-level riders to events like Unbound. The conversation highlights the challenges of managing listener feedback and the time-consuming nature of responding to emails. The hosts express frustration with negative comments about audio quality and emphasize the difficulty of producing a perfect podcast. Consider the value of feedback and criticism before taking it to heart Improving audio quality is important, but not all feedback is constructive When you forget your cycling shoes on a remote ride, consider waiting in the car, riding in road shoes, or riding in Crocs and socks When flying with your bike, invest in a good bike bag or case and pack it properly to protect your bike   Titles Analyzing Results and Performance in a Recent Race Dealing with Audio Quality and Technical Difficulties Tire Choices for Gravel Racing The Impact of VO2 Max Testing on Athletes The Discrepancy in Prize Money: Lifetime Grand Prix Attracting Top-Level Riders: The Power of a Large Prize Purse Tips for Flying with Your Bike Navigating Feedback and Criticism   Sound Bites "That has nothing to do with how we start the episode." "I mean, I will say the quality was absolutely terrible. It was like unlistenable." "Yeah, well, I agree. They are gravel tires. Because if you try to use them in an actual mountain bike race, you're probably going to end up crashing." "Because that's because the result, the times that you get results, that those races don't even have internet." "Yeah, also, dude, people thought I was in like 50 something place or whatever." "No, I do have my dad is named Scott McGill also, but." "Last year, Keegan and Sophia, the male and female winners, respectively each received $25,000 for finishing first." "How big would the prize money have to be to get like, you know, Pidcock or Van Aert or Matthew Vanderpol or something over here?" "How many Red Bulls did you drink before this episode?" "What would be the point of that?" "Dude, Adam, you're getting too worked up about this." "Do you wait in the car?

After an arm injury cut his collegeate pitching career short, you could say that today's guest took some off of athletics. So much so, in fact, that he gained the weight equivalent of another version of himself - 180 pounds to be exact. After some failed attempts to reverse course and resigned to this fate, he told his folks that maybe they should stop pushing him to lose the weight and end his sedintary lifestyle - he just didn't see a solution within himself. Then, he found what many would consider to be an unlikely catalyst that would get him off the couch and out onto the first of what would be many runs in his journey to losing 180 pounds and running his first 40 mile Ultra in Pennsylvania. What was the secret? Well, you'll have to listen to the show to find out.

“Once you feel that catharsis, once you have that lightbulb moment, once you feel what it’s like to actually live a little bit... In general the mundanity of life gets put out like a cigarette butt.” ————————————————————— The thing about life is that whilst your first attempt may not work, keep trying and work smarter the next time. This episodes guest has a background in software development and designed a website called VirtuRace, which allowed runners to manually upload times and courses so they could race virtually. But it gained little traction because programs like Google Maps weren’t available yet. About five years later, Strava, filled that niche. After visiting a triathlon event, Troy did some digging online. He discovered that some websites like Cool Running and Active posted results, but only from a handful of races. Various running clubs handled local race results online. But no website existed that aggregated results on a national scale. So that was the spark for creating and founding Athlinks. Athlinks is the largest results database for competitive endurance athletes in the world. They pull in times for running races, triathlon, swimming, cycling, mountain biking, and pretty much any timed endurance sport that you can think of. After 15 years, 350 million results, a million and a half events, Troy will be on to his next adventure helping people live happier, healthier lives. If you’ve ever been on a trail run, with a friend and have had an open conversation about running and life. This conversation reminded me of that. ————————————————————— His social links are: Instagram: @troybusot Troy interviewed me for episode 26 of the Athlinks podcast ————————————————————— This episode is sponsored by Tracksmith, a brand which actively represents and supports the development of a runner’s life in the running community.

Born in Canada, Today's guest - Juan Carlos Obando moved with his family to Ecuador as a youngster where he learned to play soccer - a game that gave him a love of running that would stick with him throughout his life. After moving back to Toronto, soccer eventually turned to wrestling and weight lifting and a friendly invitation to a Spartan Race allowed Juan to combine these passions in his first Obstacle Course Race. Once hooked, he made the commitment to compete for an OCR Age Group World Championship in his 40s. He reshaped his body and mind, adapted his training and came out of 2020 leaner faster and ready for the racing season of his life. We get into all this an more on today's podcast.

Today's Guest needs little introduction. He is a former professional cyclist, Co-Founder of legendary training platform Training Peaks, and the son of the author of several endurance training bibles, Joe Friel. That is right, Dirk Friel joins us today on the Athlinks Podcast. We had a great chat about training slower to get faster. The importance of recovery days. and he will school you on the importance of the 80/20 rule. We reminisce about his youth spent as an American in Europe as a pro cyclist and how he and fellow racer and previous guest of this podcast, Anton Villatoro were bamboozled by Guatemalan race officials who deliberately directed them into a wrong turn, costing the American's the race. Dirk is a great guy - fantastic coach and entrepreneur and I think you'll love hearing what he has to say about the world of training, racing, and living an active life.

Our guest on the podcast today is Sika Henry - a 2x Marathon champion who turned her talents to the world of triathlon. A serious bike crash in 2019 slowed her quest to become the first African American Woman to hold a Pro Triathlon Card, but she still managed to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kona later that year. She focused heavily on her run training through the pandemic and her tri season kicked off this past weekend at Challenge Miami Half Ironman. We recorded this show just before she left, but I'm happy to report that she finished safely and with a P.R. of 4 hours, 38 minutes in her first effort of the season.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #113, with Troy Busot, the Founder of Athlinks[i], the world’s largest racing database with a mission of making it easier for people to race more often and have more fun in the process. Watch this interview on YouTube here. With this episode, you will learn: How Troy Busot, the founder of Athlinks.com helped Andrea to launch her business 10 years ago. How Troy took an idea, and created the world's largest racing database. The Secret to launching a business, or any idea. The importance of failing fast, identifying and fixing deficiencies. Hello and Welcome back! I’m Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with learning the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports and the workplace, for the past 20 plus years.  Our initial goal with this podcast was to close the gap recent surveys show exists in our workforce where 58 percent of employers say college graduates aren’t adequately prepared for today’s workforce, with a particular gap in social and emotional skills. Research shows that social-emotional skills like social awareness, self-regulation, and growth mindset (the skills that we covered early in the podcast episodes) are crucial to college and career readiness. The outcomes of developing these intelligences are vast as they impact our performance, leadership, personal excellence, time management, and decision-making. And if you have been listening to our podcast for some time, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with putting our brain health first. We’ve mentioned that daily exercise is one of the top 5 health staples that’s a known brain-health and Alzheimer’s prevention strategy, from our episode #87[ii]  helping us to take our results, productivity and health to these higher levels. Our guest today, Troy Busot, has always impressed me by the way that he and his family took their health and fitness seriously, and his dedication to his health, spilled over into his work life, as a successful entrepreneur. He’s my old neighbor—his family used to live directly across the street from me, but they moved to another state, and now like many of us, we stay in touch via social media where we recently connected on some of his latest missions and to brainstorm ideas with our podcasts. Not only is Troy the CEO of Athlinks.com, but he also runs the Athlinks Podcast, a high-quality podcast that features interviews with athletes around the world as they prepare for events.  I will tell you more about Troy, the company he founded, his podcast, and how he gave me that push that I needed to launch my business, achieveit360.com over 10 years ago, but first, let me tell you about what he invented. He’s the founder of Athlinks--the best way to track all of your race results in one place. Basically it’s a Results Database for those who compete in races. Each year, over 40 million athletes in the U.S. cross a finish line at an endurance event, but with the recent Pandemic, these numbers have been reduced to under 10 million, but you get the picture. There’s a lot of people who train long and hard, pushing themselves to these higher limits. For most people, it's not about the medals. It's about the results. It's about getting better each race - going faster, going farther, beating a rival, or lifting up a loved one. It’s about the hours, minutes, and seconds scribbled on the back of a race bib or on a row in a spreadsheet. Athlinks (or my old neighbor Troy) set out to make capturing those rewards as simple as typing your name into a search box. This was his idea, and he’s the mastermind behind this company, who pulls in times for running races, triathlon, swimming, cycling, mountain biking ... pretty much any timed endurance sport that you can think of - if they can find the results, they will add them to the database and link them to their members' accounts. So how did Troy help me to launch my business idea? I realized that after producing 113 episodes of the podcast now, I haven’t done one episode on exactly what we do at Achieveit360.com. If you ever make it to the end of our episode, you’ll hear the trailer telling you to go there, and you will find books, and tools for schools and the workplace. I will do another episode explaining where we began with our work, and where we are going now with our workshops to help you integrate the simple neuroscience into your school or workplace. Stay tuned for that. But first, let’s go back to 2012/13. This was a year before I partnered with AZ Department of Education with the Character and Leadership program, Level Up, that you can see through my website, making my first huge step forward towards the vision I had for making an impact with education, character, SEL and leadership. The vision that began when I worked with Bob Proctor seminars in the late 1990s, when I watched him change the lives of 12 teens in a matter of months with topics that mirrored what we now know to be called Social and Emotional Learning. Troy was and I’d say still is a very serious businessman. He was always working on something, not much time wasting going on when I saw him.  But he would always say in passing, “If you ever want me to come over, and brainstorm where you are with your business, and where you want to go, I’d be happy to do that” and when he offered, he said it with a serious tone, that made me realize he wanted to help, and I knew he meant it. He didn’t mean, “Hey, we are kicking back and chilling out, come and join us, and throw out your ideas.” He meant business, and had this look in his eye that he knew I needed some direction. At the time I was taking all of the content I had created, and was putting it online, creating an online portal www.achieveit360.org where you can see our courses for students and educators. I was working with a young kid out of Chicago, whose not a young kid anymore, but back then he was teaching me how to create a website, to code, and everything I needed to know about the online world, and he was a high school student at the time. Once I had my content online, I was ready.  So one day I said to Troy, “I’d love to take you up on that brainstorming session” and it was the end of the year when many people were in the middle of their holiday celebrations, and he asked “What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?”  I almost laughed out loud, because EVERY New Year that I can remember, was always focused on planning and firming up the following year, not going to parties or fancy dinners. It’s always been a time to reflect, gather new ideas, and “Sharpen the Saw” for the New Year, so I wasn’t surprised that the founder of Athlinks was doing exactly the same thing. Troy came over after dinner time, and we sat at my dining room table and brainstormed some ideas of the vision I saw, where I was starting from and where I wanted to go. Troy offered some ideas, but the most valuable information I remember, was some of the leaders he told me to follow. He said “You have got to follow and read Gary Vee’s book Crush It[iii]” and I did, and it really helped me to create the work ethic that I have today. It was a serious meeting, no joking around. He let me know that he has seen far too many people never start something, and he hoped that our meeting would give me a push to get moving. It did. It was shortly after this meeting that I presented my ideas to AZ Department of Education when they opened up the doors for new vendors to provide their services for a Character Education Matching Grant. We would end up being one of the preferred providers chosen for this grant that went from 2014-2020, and this is where everything began for me, working for myself, outside of the corporate world, with just an idea. I wanted to bring Troy on the podcast because many people I know have been forced to start something new maybe because their job was eliminated, or they’ve just had some sort of shift with what they are doing, and if you were like me, I had my idea just about ready to go, and hearing from someone who had launched something successful, gave me the insight I needed get going, and learn how to quickly fail forward (which we did). I hope you find this time with Troy as helpful as I did many years ago, as he shares exactly how he launched Athlinks, and his vision for the future. Here’s Troy Busot! Welcome Troy! Thank you so much for coming on the podcast today, and also for helping me to launch my business almost 10 years ago. I don’t remember exactly when it was, but it was before I had partnered with AZ Department of Education in 2014.  I’m just curious, what do you remember about coming over to the house that day? Q1: Getting back to your work Troy, where did your vision for starting Athlinks begin and how did you go from an idea, to building such a successful database that’s used by so many people? Q2: Can you tell me more about the programs and services that you offer through Athlinks? Other than a database, what is there? Q3: I haven’t raced since I used to do these mini triathlons back in Toronto when I was a lifeguard, so I know there’s no information next to my name, but some of my high school friends are avid racers.  How can they use the info in Athlinks to help them? Q4: We’ve been friends for years, but I just started to notice you posting on Instagram about something you’re doing called 50 Chasing 50. I had no idea we were both chasing 50, but now I know! What month are you turning 50? Q4B) I also know that putting health first has been a huge mission of mine, especially as we uncovered that Exercise is one of the top 5 health staples and Alzheimer’s Prevention strategies. I don’t know anyone chasing 50 who doesn’t want to arrive there healthy. What exactly is 50 Chasing 50? Q5: You’ve launched a successful business, sold it, and the last time we spoke, you mentioned that you had your eye on another vision. That’s the entrepreneurial bug at work, I recognize it! After 50, what’s your vision for yourself? Q6: Anything I have missed? Final thoughts? Thank you very much Troy first of all, for offering your time, ideas and suggestions that launched my business Achieveit360.com in the early days, and for coming on the podcast to share your vision with our listeners. I’m so grateful that we met and have remained friends. Looking forward to learning more about 50 Chasing 50, and watching your success well beyond this next milestone. Thanks Troy.   If anyone wants to reach you to learn more about your next phase/what’s the best place to connect to you?  https://www.instagram.com/troybusot/ RESOURCES: https://www.leadvilleraceseries.com/ https://worldsmarathons.com/marathon/silver-rush-50-run Athlinks Podcast https://blog.athlinks.com/2020/12/29/podcast-episode-20-jeff-tkach-rodale-institute-on-regenerative-organic-farming/ REFERENCES: [i] https://www.athlinks.com/about [ii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #87 with Andrea Samadi on “The Top 5 Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Prevention Strategies”  https://www.achieveit360.com/the-top-5-brain-health-and-alzheimers-prevention-strategies-with-andrea-samadi/ [iii] Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk (Sept. 25, 2009)  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029ZA3H4/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for our second Brain Fact Friday! When we recorded episode #109[i] we announced we would be pulling out an important Brain Fact every Friday to dive deep into some of the brain-based strategies we are offering in each episode, so we can be sure to implement these important concepts in our schools, workplaces and lives. BRAIN FACT: Here’s our Brain Fact for this week from Horacio Sanchez, who we had an insightful interview with for Episode #111[ii] on his new book “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem.” “Did you know that when we engage in inner speech, all the mechanisms of outer speech and the auditory process activate in the brain. Therefore, what we say to ourselves is just like hearing it said by someone else to us. Inform students (and ourselves) that inner speech can build them up or destroy them.” (Horacio Sanchez)[iii] I brought up the damaging effects of Automatic Negative Thinking on one of our early episodes, #14 on Self-Regulation[iv]. The skill of managing our thoughts, emotions and behavior comes under the competency of self-regulation (one of the 6 social and emotional learning competencies that we covered in the beginning episodes of this podcast). What is Self-Regulation and Why is it So Important?  It’s “the ability to manage your emotions and behavior in accordance with the demands of the situation. It includes being able to resist highly emotional reactions to upsetting stimuli, to calm yourself down when you get upset, adjust to a change in expectations and (the ability) to handle frustration”[v] In other words, it’s the ability to bounce back after a setback or disappointment, and the ability to stay in congruence with your inner value system.  Using Self-Regulation to Manage Negative Thinking in the Workplace I’ve got to say, this topic has come up recently as stress in the workplace is at an all-time high. Things are going to happen on a day to basis that you might not like, and you might have the urge to say every negative thought in your head, out loud, in the heat of the moment, to get your point across. Then, we could spend the rest of the day brewing over the incident and playing the negative thoughts over and over again. We must have a strategy to stop them from ruminating or continuing in a loop, since we know that switching off these negative thoughts is an important step towards self-regulation, moving forward and preventing further problems. Besides, Horacio’s quote tells us that this type of negative thinking can destroy us. An effective strategy used in cognitive behavioral therapy[vi] is to say the word “SWITCH” in your head as you focus on switching the negative emotion that you feel to something more positive. This takes some practice, that’s for sure. I’ve always used the strategy of saying “STOP” when this happens and changing the thought pattern in my head to something more productive. Also, remembering to RESPOND to situations with questions to dig deeper, and learn more, instead of REACTING with emotion is always a better solution. When difficult situations arise, we have three choices. We can approach (by asking questions), avoid, or attack.[vii] The best results obviously occur when we are able to respond to a situation (approaching it with understanding) rather than react (by avoidance or attack) by asking questions to uncover more and see if there might be something we are missing or some sort of miscommunication that could explain the conflict. We always have a choice on how we respond to situations. The research is clear that mindfulness and meditation can help increase the gap between a stimulus and our response to it, so those who have developed their own practice, will find making this choice to respond vs react, much easier.[viii] How to Teach Self-Regulation to Our Children or Students? The ability to control one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts is an integral skill to be taught to young children as well, so they can form and maintain healthy relationships and connections later in life.[ix] This skill is crucial to develop as we all know that life is full of ups and downs and we must be able to navigate through challenging situations before we can reach any level of achievement and success. We all know people who seem to bounce back after adversity. It’s not by luck or chance, it’s because they have learned how to self-regulate and intentionally get back on course. This is a learned skill and one that we must teach or model to our students/children for them to be able to master it as adults. Why is This Such an Important Skill?  Horacio Sanchez’s brain fact says it all. If we don’t teach children (or ourselves) a strategy to stop automatic negative thoughts, or ways to respond instead of react to distressing situations, our brain will hear these thoughts, and think they are true. We all know of the impact of negative thinking on our results. Our inner speech has the ability to build us up or destroy us.    “Keep my words positive. Words become my behaviors. Keep my behaviors positive. Behaviors become my habits. Keep my habits positive. Habits become my values. Keep my values positive. Values become my destiny.” (Mahatma Gandhi) I hope you have enjoyed our second episode of Brain Fact Friday!

From hand-cutting graphics for t-shirts to building websites for some of the heaviest hitters in Hollywood like Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Denzel Washington to founding a software company. Troy talks earnestly about how to overcome adversity and recover when things spiral out of control. If you have ever taken part in any kind of timed race over the last decade and a half chances are your results are stored inside Athlinks the company Troy founded. We jump from life to relationships to business and back again. This one just begins to scratch the surface of what we could be talking about. How you got to stop talking about stuff and actually go out there and get things done and find what works for you. There may be no easy day in the journey to the Unbeatable life but they are all worth it.

Instead of asking yourself "how long do I want to live", you should really start asking yourself, "how do I want to live". We all want to live forever, but if you're listening to this show, chances are, you've got some minimum standards that you'd like to set as the years pass by - especially of the athletic variety. On the podcast today, we welcome Selene Yeager - host of the Hit Play, Not Pause podcast - a show for performance-minded women who aren't willing to put their best years behind them. We discuss the affects of aging on the body - especially in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, and how to optimize your physiology, maintain your fitness, and harness your power. It's not just for ladies, or even us older athletes - if you or someone you know is planning on getting older now or sometime in the future - even if you don't accept it - you need to give this a listen.

Our guest today is multi-sport athlete, Ultra Runner, Professional Chef, self-described advocate and activist for body politics, and 5' 3" Brooklynite force of nature, Latoya Shauntay Snell - also known as the Running Fat Chef. A quick glance at her Athlinks profile shows 112 races completed, over twelve hundred miles finished and in a span of just 28 days, she crossed finish lines at the Chicago Marathon, Javelina Jundred 60K, and the TCS New York City Marathon. She's a brand ambassador for Trek Bikes, a sponsored HOKA ONE ONE Athlete, and yet, she spends at least part of her time answering critics who say she doesn't "look like a runner". She talks openly about her DNFs, her detractors, and the additional struggles that have strengthened her as an athlete, woman, wife and mother. She's on a mission to emancipate herself in order to help others see the power in themselves and judging by her successes both in and outside of racing - it's working.

Introducing the Athlinks Podcast, hosted by founder & President Troy Busot. Athlinks Profile: https://www.athlinks.com/athletes/10000 The goal of Athlinks has always been to make racing and event participation more accessible to everyone, regardless of background - athletic or otherwise. "More people, racing more often, having more fun in the process" is our stated mission and we've put our efforts into collecting over 340 Million race results from nearly 1.5 million races over the years, so that athletes could have "all of their results in one place". We've wanted to do our small part to make it easier for more people to call themselves endurance athletes. Each show will be a 60 to 90 minute interview with some of the millions of athletes who cross a finish line around the world every year - telling the stories behind the steps, the pedals, and the swim strokes. The blood sweat and tears, the successes and failures of finishing. From time to time, we will dive into the deep science like VO2 Max and Lactate thresholds and every once in a while we will talk to the world's most elite-level professional endurance athletes, but for the most part, we're going to be talking with everyday age groupers like you and me - people balancing work and life while training and racing. We're also going to be talking with event organizers and other folks who make the products and services that we, as endurance athletes, love and rely on to accomplish our goals.

Emigró a los Estados Unidos e hizo parte de la Cruz Roja Americana. Hizo parte de varias brigadas de vacunación y rescate a damnificados de desastres naturales. En una de esas brigadas a Perú, se encontró con el running por accidente. Días después de haber completado un senderismo de 50 kilómetros en 3 días, unos amigos lo invitaron a correr a Machu Picchu. Y el resto, es historia como lo podrás escuchar en la entrevista. Gracias a su empresa de transporte y cocinero en un crucero, ha podido correr maratones en Canadá, Francia, España, Italia, México, Perú y Estados Unidos. Te invitamos a que seas testigo de cómo Raúl completará su viaje de correr 700 maratones en Culiacán, Sinaloa.     La idea de correr 700 maratones. Correr 700 maratones no es algo con lo que Raúl soñaba. Inicialmente, se describía como una persona que «no corría». Incluso, en su infancia tuvo un accidente grave cuando cayó de un caballo y luego de adulto tuvo un tumor que casi lo lleva a perder una pierna y truncar su camino en 300 maratones. Todo esto, no fue excusa para una vez que encontró el running, nunca más lo abandonará. En 1976 corrió la maratón de la Ciudad de México en 2:42. Años después, logró su récord personal de 2:30 a los 28 años. Larry Macon, Yolanda Holder y Jim Simpson sirvieron como catalistas para que Raúl creyera que él también podría acumular docenas de maratones anualmente. En 1998 se empezó a dar la tarea de completar 20, 40, 70 maratones al año. Un ingrediente clave para lograr correr 700 maratones oficiales son las series y carreras de Charlie Alewine Racing.     Charlie Alewine Racing. Raúl vive en las montañas de California. Aunque antes iba hasta la Florida a hacer series, encontró las carreras de Charlie Alewine cerca a su casa. Estas carreras se celebran todos los fines de semana ambos días: Sábados y domingos. Tienen dos circuitos en dos parques de la ciudad y se celebran 5k, 10k, 21k y 42k. Desde el 2009 se han celebrado más de 1100 carreras oficiales. Incluyendo, series de 7, 14 o 20 días donde se corren una maratón cada día. Estas carreras oficiales han sido claves en la meta de Raúl de correr 700 maratones oficiales. Tiene registro oficial, medalla y fotos de cada una de sus carreras.   Entrenamiento y recuperación. Para sorpresa de muchos, Raúl no tiene un plan de entrenamiento muy extensivo. Se trata de hacer caminatas largas –Power Walking-. Recorre unos 18 a 20 kilómetros de lunes a jueves. Su ritmo de caminata oscila entre 7 minutos y 7’30’ por kilómetro. Viernes descansa. Sábados y domingos son reservados para competir. Expresa que para correr 700 maratones se requiere un poco de inteligencia. Para Raúl sería muy frustrante caer en una lesión que le impida hacer lo que más le gusta. Por eso su entrenamiento consiste en baja intensidad y correr las maratones entre 5 y 6 horas cada una (un ritmo entre 8 minutos y 8’30’ por kilómetro). Come saludablemente ya que estudió para ser nutriólogo. Pero no hace nada de fortalecimiento, estiramiento o fisioterapia. Su receta, correr lento.   Carreras por correr. Aparte de correr 700 maratones, Raúl quiere en el 2020 correr en el extranjero. Dice que le gustaría correr Londres, Berlín y China. Adicionalmente, nos recomendo estas carreras: Maratones de calle: Big Sur Dead Valley. Ciudad de México. Ultramaratones de montaña: Isla Catalina. Beyond Limits Ultra.   Recursos mencionados en el episodio. Concurso GRATIS para correr 10% más en el 2020 50-States Club. Athlinks   Contacta a Raúl Santana.

Mike couldn't pick between Bridgewater Police 5k (6th annual event and never missed one) or Rugged Maniac (favorite short course OCR and top 3 overall) so he did the only thing that could be done ... both! He ran BPD 5k at 9 in the morning and then immediately drove 2 hours to Southwick, MA for Rugged Maniac so content for the former is scarce. He did spend about 4 hours at Rugged Maniac to talk to all sorts of awesome people though so enjoy!    0 - 3:25 - Intro 3:25 - 8:40 - News 8:40 - 9:27 - Content Preface 9:27 - 11:15 - Bridgewater Police 5k Expectations 11:15 - 15:13 - Bridgewater Police 5k Recap 15:13 - 18:16 - Mike's Rugged Recap 18:16 - 31:06 - Fun People 31:06 - 41:55 - Vendors 41:55 - 49:58 - Race Director: Jeff Scott 49:58 - 1:03:16 - Race Announcer: Christopher Calandro 1:03:16 - end - Outro New Half Marathon World Record Strength and Speed's 100th Episode Who did not send us hate mail?

Diane Israel is what I would call a reluctant visionary. She is a former professional triathlete and world class runner. Today she's a psychotherapist and a professor at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. And along the way she created an award-winning film called Beauty Mark. You don’t get from one place to the next without quite a journey in between. She spent so many years conflicted about who she was and her role in this great wide world that she couldn't be herself or as she would say, she didn't know who she was. Eventually Diane found that she excelled at movement – she became a standout runner and later a triathlon legend in the early days of the sport - until her need to control her life ultimately almost destroyed her. After years of enduring an eating disorder and athletic addiction, her body just simply stopped. And then she had to confront herself – if she wanted to survive. This episode goes deep at times and focuses more on the process of how she got where she is today than the struggles of the past. In the end, through it all, Diane actually became a healer of others. Isn’t that interesting. But she first had to find peace and healing in herself which she fully admits is still happening every day that she spends on this planet. I also have some good news - my first official sponsor is on board - a revolutionary company in the life insurance space - Health IQ. I have no idea how many of you have figured out life insurance, but Tim and I have always held back partly because we know we’re really healthy but we’d be paying as much as people who don’t place an emphasis on health and fitness. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t until we had our daughter Wilder that we actually made a will and started thinking about our financial future. So I started looking around for life insurance that might actually take everything we do to stay healthy into consideration and found Health IQ. I went on their website, took their Health Quiz and an agent immediately called me. They literally looked up my race results for me in Athlinks (thankfully I did the Boulder Peak Tri last summer!) or you can upload Strava or Runkeeper or other app data so they can prove you are actually active when seeking quotes. What they do is use science and data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans etc – 56% of Health IQ customers save 4-33% on life insurance. Going through the process myself, it's been extremely convenient and we're excited to save a lot of money! To see if you quality, get your free quote today at healthiq.com/RTW or mention the code RTW when you talk to an agent. Please remember to share the code RTW so they know I sent you! Today we talk about: Weasel Words Addiction of all kinds Coping mechanisms: Why they stop working in our 40s How our greatest joy often brings us our greatest suffering How much our background impacts who we become Raising children to be healthy adults How does a tortured child eventually become a healer? Her film Beauty Mark - watch the trailer here - soon to be available on Amazon Prime! Wasted emotions: Are there any? How do we stop the self-judgment and blame Hands and Feet: Contact Diane to get on the list for upcoming classes This is an awesome, powerful episode. At the end of the day, her final nugget really brought us home: You count. You’re beautiful the way you are. You are loved. For more on Diane, to connect with her on any level, please reach out here. Allright everyone, you know what time it is, it’s time to get out there and run this world. Have a great workout and I’ll see you next week.

Chris Sanders found running at an early age and was almost immediately drawn to the relationships and connections with his teammates. After running cross country in college, Chris gradually increased the distance he runs, having now completed 10 marathons as well as 3 Ironman races. Chris loves pushing the limits of his body and even races up skyscrapers! We talk with Chris about pushing the perceived physical limits of our bodies and how technology helps us connect with our body as well as others. Chris is passionate about connected health and how technology can enable us to not only understand more about our bodies but also engage us in our own health more. He mentions a handful of startups making a difference in this industry, such as humon, WHOOP, and HealthRhythms.   This episode is hosted by Matt Sorenson and is sponsored by goodr.

Episode 172 - Ella Kociuba burst onto the OCR scene in December of 2011. At just 18 years old, she signed up for the open wave at the Glen Rose Super. She ended up finishing faster than the winning female in the elite heat. In 2012, she began signing up for elite heats and made the podium in her first several races. Her high point of the year was finishing 3rd at the Vermont Beast Championship race behind Claude Godbout and Amelia Boone. Arguably, the best two women in obstacle racing at that time. A young female athlete who does well brings a lot of attention, praise, and pressure. Ella was not ready. What followed for her was a painful, deep struggle with eating and self image. In this podcast, Ella opens up about hitting bottom, getting honest, and how her life has turned around since. Today's episode is sponsored by Obstacle Guard - OCR padded arm and leg sleeves.

Check out his email: I believe Shawn should be your age grouper of the week, not just because of his unbelievable race in Arizona, especially in those conditions, but Shawn is just a great ambassador for Triathlon.   He has always been more concerned about everyone else than himself and wants to see his friends and clients succeed at any level. Did I mention that he is also a certified Triathlon and Cycling Coach.  That's just a part time Job.  He has his "Real" job, a wife, and 3 kids.   Shawn is always the first to try out new technology and pass his findings to the group.  He trains harder than anyone I know and takes his training very seriously.  Everything is by the numbers.  Shawn is very analytical (anal) about his training methods and it obviously pays off.  Just check out his Athlinks page and you can see his results.For my first Ironman Shawn flew out to the race just to support me.  He wasn't even racing, he just flew out to watch and cheer me on.   That's just how he is.  It's rare to find a friend who will do that.High 5 We’ve got a few good High 5’s coming up over the next few shows.

Episode 87 Ironman Talk www.ironmantalk.com This weeks news Coming up: IMWA. Kiwi triathlete carries Olympic torch. Interview with Gina  We got this from Gina’s website. She’s obviously doing some big things! Gina came from a swimming background, competing competitively to NZ national level until she was 17. After a 7 year break from all sports Gina took up triathlon as a way to get fit at the beginning of 2005. She took to the sport immediately and after her first few wins decided to take the sport more seriously, and began a structured training programme. Gina also left her job as a high school maths teacher to continue working part time as a violinist for the Christchurch Symphony, leaving more time and energy for training. Since then Gina has enjoyed numerous wins at home in NZ and in March 2007 competed in her first ironman (Ironman NZ) and finished in 5th place. Gina has decided that the ironman distance races are where she will focus her energy. 2007 will be Gina’s first pro year and she is looking forward to gaining experience at international level.Here’s the questions www.ginaferguson.com www.fifthelement.co.nz This Weeks Discussion Should you be able to take your kid/family down the finishing chute at an Ironman race?

Website of the Week Matt Johnson sent through this great youtube clip of the Drafting at IM Florida: Click here. What’s happening to our sport? Age Grouper of the Week Bree Wee was the first age grouper to finish in Kona. She had an amazing race doing 56:35 in the swim, 5:21:41 in the bike and then run 3:24:15 for a finish time of 9:47:42. While that was an amazing time she managed to get 13th over all! The other reason we choose her as our age grouper was because she has a profile on Athlinks, she must listen to the show. Questions and Answers Jules sent through this question: I have a question regarding tyre pressures.  I have a set of tubular race wheels and the max psi shown on the tubulars that I am currently using is 140 psi.  Does this mean that I should inflate to 140 psi? Is it advisable to do so?  Recently I have been inflating below this level (say 120 psi) and had no problems but in I have had two punctures (one in a race) when I inflated to 140 psi.  Do I stand more of a chance getting a puncture when inflating he tubulars to their maximum psi?  Finally, all of my races are in humid/hot conditions (e.g. Phuket coming up) which I presume results in the tyre pressure increasing whilst the bike is in transition so I should allow for this?

How are some ways to gauge whether you are at the appropriate non-draft distance? 7 or 10 meters etc.?How can I know I am not being a "cheater?" Know the rulesSet your bike on indoor trainer and put another bike 7m in front so you can “see? the difference. In NZ some race officials use the white lines in the middle of the road as reference points. Front of one white line to front of next is 7m.When racing if you hear a draft marshal coming drop back a little and when they pull up next to you ask if the distance is Ok. They then know you are making an effort. The reality is at big races there will be a lot of drafting and it comes down to a personal choice.  This weeks websiteshttp://www.rosiearoundtheworld.co.uk/, http://www.fifthelement.co.nz/, http://www.athlinks.com/racer/27752488/Ed-McDevitt.aspx, Decaman results, Triathlon Juice, Macca’s bike, Lottery is open.  Iron Rusts, Ironmen Don’t, Train Hard, Train Smart: Kia Kaha

Jamie Andrew swam more than two miles, cycled 112 miles and ran a marathon in just under 24 hours. The 37-year old from Edinburgh, dubbed "Titanium Man" because of his prosthetic legs, hopes the challenge will raise £50,000. It is in aid of the 500 miles charity, which he has launched with fellow quadruple amputee Olivia Giles. The Iron Man triathlon is considered one of the toughest feats of athletic endurance for able-bodied athletes.It started with a dawn dip in Loch Tay, followed by a cycle from Kenmore to Falkirk, and finished with a 26.2 mile run down the Union Canal to Edinburgh.Project funding Mr Andrew began the gruelling event at about 0600 BST on Saturday and completed the challenge the following morning.

As a group, they will swim about 44 miles over 2 days – that's more than twice the distance across the English Channel, or roughly 30 times the distance from Alcatraz to San Francisco. Their route will be a diagonal across the middle of the lake, which will take them over areas that are almost a mile deep. We're determined to succeed not just for ourselves, but for the League to Save Lake Tahoe, which helps keep the Lake Tahoe basin pristine, and for the National Brain Tumor Foundation, in recognition of a friend who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor this summer.  Please consider making a gift to one of these charities to help us reach our goal of $10,000 in donations.
