As a TriDot Triathlon Coach, I've seen firsthand how predictive analytics can transform training outcomes. Today, we'll break down the development, race-specific, and taper phases of training, explore the importance of strength and mobility, and give you actionable tips for race rehearsals, race week workouts, and pacing strategies across different race distances. Let's get into it!” Training Phases with RunDot Development Phase (April) “This is where the foundation is built. The development phase focuses on aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and overall durability. RunDot uses your biometric and performance data to personalize your training load—so you're not just following a generic plan, you're following your plan. Expect to see: Zone 2 endurance runs to build aerobic efficiency. Hill repeats and strides to improve strength and form. Aerobic intervals that challenge your cardiovascular system without overloading it. This phase is also where strength and mobility work are critical. Think squats, lunges, planks, and dynamic mobility drills. These movements help prevent injury and improve your running economy.” Race-Specific Phase (Lauren) “Now we shift gears. The race-specific phase is all about sharpening your race pace and simulating race conditions. RunDot adjusts your workouts based on your predicted race performance, so you're training at the right intensity. Key workouts include: Tempo runs to dial in your race pace. Long runs with race pace segments to simulate race fatigue. Intervals that mimic the demands of your target race. This is also the time for race rehearsals. Practice everything—your gear, your nutrition, your hydration strategy. If you're racing trails, get on technical terrain. If it's a road race, practice on similar surfaces and elevation profiles.” Taper Phase (Rich) “The taper phase is where the magic happens. You're reducing volume to shed fatigue while maintaining intensity to stay sharp. RunDot's predictive engine ensures you're not tapering too much or too little. During taper: Keep intensity with short intervals and strides. Reduce volume gradually. Focus on mental preparation—visualize your race, review your pacing strategy, and trust your training.” Strength & Mobility: The Unsung Heroes (Lauren) “Strength and mobility work aren't optional—they're essential. They: Prevent overuse injuries. Improve running efficiency. Enhance power and stride mechanics. RunDot integrates strength sessions based on your recovery status and training load. So if you're feeling fatigued, it'll dial back the intensity. If you're fresh, it'll push you a bit more.” Race Week Workouts & Shakeout Runs (April) “Race week is all about staying loose and confident. Here's a sample structure: Monday–Wednesday: Easy runs with strides, light strength work. Thursday–Friday: Short intervals or race pace efforts—30 to 60 seconds. Saturday: Shakeout run—15 to 20 minutes easy with a few strides. Sunday: Race day! Shakeout runs help reduce anxiety, loosen up your muscles, and reinforce your rhythm and cadence.” Race Pacing Tips by Distance 5K - Rich Go out strong but controlled. Settle into pace by the first mile. Finish with a kick. Use strides and short intervals in taper week to stay sharp. 10K - Lauren Controlled first half, push the second half. Practice pacing in race-specific workouts. Don't go out too fast—let your fitness shine in the back half. Half Marathon - April Aim for even pacing or a slight negative split. Long runs with race pace segments are key. Fuel early and consistently. Full Marathon - Rich Start conservatively—don't chase pace early. Stay steady through the middle miles. Prepare mentally for the final 10K. Practice fueling during long runs to avoid bonking. Trail vs Road Racing - Lauren Trail: Focus on effort over pace. Practice technical terrain and elevation changes. Road: Dial in cadence and pacing. Use flat intervals to simulate race conditions. Closing Thoughts - Rich “RunDot by Predictive Fitness is a game-changer. It takes the guesswork out of training and helps you peak at the right time. Whether you're chasing a PR or finishing your first race, trust the process, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey. Get Gritty Tip: What's Your Success Criteria?  One of the biggest mindset traps athletes (and high achievers in general) fall into is measuring success by what hasn't been accomplished yet—what Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy call living in “the gap.” The way out is creating a Success Criteria List, which shifts your focus from what's missing to what's meaningful. Here's the challenge: Write down three to five criteria that define success for YOU—right now, in this season. Make them simple, tangible, and personal. For example: I'm successful when I show up consistently for my workouts. I'm successful when I recover well and prioritize sleep. I'm successful when I enjoy at least one workout each week with friends or teammates. Notice how none of these depend on a finish time or podium. Instead, they anchor you in daily wins that compound over time. When you measure against your own list, you gain confidence, resilience, and perspective—no matter what the scoreboard says. Action Item: Take five minutes today to craft your own Success Criteria List. Post it where you'll see it daily—on your fridge, in your training log, or on your phone. Each time you check off a criteria, you're stacking wins. Over time, this list becomes your proof that you're already making progress—and that you're firmly in “the gain.” TriDot Workout of the Week: Stamina Ride Speaking of putting in the work, April, this week's featured workout is the Long Ride, or Stamina Ride. This workout goes out to Caroline and Stephanie who are getting ready to do the Boulder Century on September 7th. We're rooting for you. I also did my own version of this on Monday, and drove out to Canon City, Colorado and road some incredible trails including the aptly named Shiv, Redemption. And the Great Escape trails. It was as great as a mental challenge as it was physical, which is why the Stamina Ride is so important. You'll start with a warmup: 10 minutes in Zone 2 with 3 x 30-second spinups and 3 x 1-minute efforts in Zone 4. Then the main set—3 x 12 minutes at Zone 4 with 5 minutes recovery, 1 x 10 minutes at Zone 2, and 10 x 10 minutes at Zone 3 with 2 minutes recovery. Keep all recoveries and balance of time in Zone 2. Here's the key—when you're in those longer stamina sessions, stay in your race position as if you're racing. Sit up to stretch if you need, then get back down and dial in. Keep your cadence steady: Zone 2 and 3 efforts at 90+ rpm, Zone 4 efforts at 80 rpm. And remember—aim to make the last repeat as strong as the first. What do you think about the Stamina ride, Rich? Anything else to add? What I really love about this stamina ride is how it mimics the demands of long-course racing. Those multiple 10-minute Zone 3 pushes let you sit right on that edge—where it's uncomfortable, but still sustainable—just like in a 70.3, full IRONMAN, or Century Ride. You're teaching your body and mind how to hold strong at race effort, manage the discomfort, and then back off just enough to go the distance. This one showed up for me last week, and I also have a century ride this weekend.  It's the perfect prep to build the resilience you need for long days in the saddle. Now, workouts like the Stamina Ride teach us grit, focus, and the ability to stay locked in for the long haul. But triathlon isn't just about the grind—it's also about enjoying the ride, laughing a little, and not taking ourselves too seriously. That's why we've got a fun segment lined up next!    Fun Segment: Not My Job! Triathlete Edition   In NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!, the “Not My Job” segment brings in a celebrity guest and quizzes them on something totally unrelated to their expertise.

In Too Good to Get Married: The Life and Photographs of Miss Alice Austen (Fordham University Press, 2025) by Dr. Bonnie Yochelson, explore Gilded Age New York through the lens of Alice Austen, who captured the social rituals of New York's leisured class and the bustling streets of the modern city. Celebrated as a queer artist, she was this and much more.Alice Austen (1866–1952) lived at Clear Comfort, her grandparent's Victorian cottage on Staten Island, which is now a National Historic Landmark. As a teenager, she devoted herself to photography, recording what she called “the larky life” of tennis matches, yacht races, and lavish parties.When she was 25 and expected to marry, Austen used her camera to satirize gender norms by posing with her friends in their undergarments and in men's clothes, “smoking” cigarettes, and feigning drunkenness. As she later remarked, she was “too good to get married.” Austen embraced the rebellious spirit of the “New Woman,” a moniker given to those who defied expectations by pursuing athletics, higher education, or careers. She had romantic affairs with women, and at 31, she met Gertrude Tate, who became her life partner. Briefly, Austen considered becoming a professional photographer. She illustrated Bicycling for Ladies, a guide written by her friend Violet Ward, and she explored the working-class neighborhoods of Manhattan to produce a portfolio, “Street Types of New York.” Rejecting the taint of commerce, however, she remained within the confines of elite society with Tate by her side.Although interest in Austen has accelerated since 2017, when the Alice Austen House was designated a national site of LGBTQ history, the only prior book on Austen was published in 1976. Copiously illustrated, Too Good to Get Married fills the need for a fresh and deeply researched look at this skillful and witty photographer. Through analysis of Austen's photographs, Yochelson illuminates the history of American photography and the history of sexuality. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

As a teenager, she devoted herself to photography, recording what she called “the larky life” of tennis matches, yacht races, and lavish parties.When she was 25 and expected to marry, Austen used her camera to satirize gender norms by posing with her friends in their undergarments and in men's clothes, “smoking” cigarettes, and feigning drunkenness. As she later remarked, she was “too good to get married.” Austen embraced the rebellious spirit of the “New Woman,” a moniker given to those who defied expectations by pursuing athletics, higher education, or careers. She had romantic affairs with women, and at 31, she met Gertrude Tate, who became her life partner. Briefly, Austen considered becoming a professional photographer. She illustrated Bicycling for Ladies, a guide written by her friend Violet Ward, and she explored the working-class neighborhoods of Manhattan to produce a portfolio, “Street Types of New York.” Rejecting the taint of commerce, however, she remained within the confines of elite society with Tate by her side.Although interest in Austen has accelerated since 2017, when the Alice Austen House was designated a national site of LGBTQ history, the only prior book on Austen was published in 1976. Copiously illustrated, Too Good to Get Married fills the need for a fresh and deeply researched look at this skillful and witty photographer. Through analysis of Austen's photographs, Yochelson illuminates the history of American photography and the history of sexuality. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

It looked like this year's big trans rights bill was going to sail through the state legislature, despite the usual conservative Christian opposition, but now the local LGBTQ community itself is divided. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about the changing local politics around LGBTQ rights and why the Kelly Loving Act might not pass. Plus, a beloved Mexican restaurant is paying out a massive settlement to former employees and we hear from listeners about “suspicious” bike riding, Tacos Rapidos, and a little hidden gem you might not have heard of — Wynkoop Brewing.  Bree mentioned the origin of “Tacos Raps,” from the song “Danver” by Fed Rez. Paul quoted from a recent op-ed titled, “Hell is Empty, and All the Devils Are in Denver” and highlighted the wage theft enforcement of Denver Labor.

Top shot © Kristof Ramon   The dynamic arena of competitive cycling photography is not for the faint of heart. This grueling specialty requires a mix of split-second reaction times, intuitive technical mastery, and the ability to anticipate—and even more important—embrace risk. It takes a special breed of photographer to continuously capture every ounce of emotion packed into this sport, from bruising injuries and bitter disappointments to the exaltation of a win.    For today's show, we've brought together two passionate cycling aficionados, former competitive cyclist and renowned street photographer Phil Penman and Kristof Ramon, a cycling photography specialist who recently released his first book on the subject. While they're introduced as strangers, get ready to be wowed by the synchronicity of their shared experiences, and the remarkable chemistry that grows between them over the course of the show.   Most people's awareness of competitive cycling revolves around coverage of the Tour de France or other major races shown on TV. Our conversation delves much deeper than this, to reveal what happens behind the scenes, and show both the intensity of purpose and the many stages of suffering that's a hallmark of this sport. Kristof's book is titled The Art of Suffering for a reason. As he aptly sums up in the book's opening quote: “Where the conditions get grimmer and the riders start to suffer, that's when the more interesting stories begin.”   Guests: Phil Penman & Kristof Ramon   Episode Timeline:   3:56: Phil Penman's connection to the competitive cycling world and how his insight as a cyclist informs his photography of the sport.    7:45: The logistics of photographing competitive cycling and the perils of damaging photo equipment.   10:36: The creative aspect to photographing competitive cycling and how to think outside the box to get impactful shots.   15:16: The many stages of suffering involved in competitive cycling, and the pride riders take in having this documented visually.   20:35: Photographer access, the difference between training rides and race days, and the distinctions between agency access and working independently.   26:26: Changes to Kristof's photographic approach and the influence of social media in the sport's evolution.   31:31: Technical aspects of cycling photography, understanding light, capturing speed, and putting in the time so to react intuitively to picture opportunities.   43:44: Episode Break   44:53: Communication strategies, building rapport with riders and teams, and people skills given the sport's international reach.   47:51: Cycling's rich history as a professional sport, and recent changes initiated by British Team Sky that helped the sport evolve.   54:45: The back story to Kristof's Art of Suffering book project and how his collaboration with cycling writer Matt Rendell helped identify suffering as a narrative element.   58:40: Working with clients, balancing that work with personal projects, and developing a distinctive voice as a photographer.    1:06:15: How to start out as a competitive cycling photographer, questions about credentials, and adapting to new networks to distribute your work.   1:13:23: Balancing technical aspects of action photography with the desired emotional response while building in certainties and calculating risk.     Guest Bios: British-born, New York-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the ever-changing scene of New York City's streets for more than 25 years. and he has quite a bit of experience in the world of professional cycling himself.   In his career as a news and magazine photographer, Phil has photographed major public figures and historical events. His reportage following the 9/11 terrorist attack was featured in major print publications and media broadcasts worldwide, and his work covering New York City's pandemic lockdown is in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.    In addition to exhibiting at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Phil's signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching photo workshops for Leica Akademie. Phil's books, "Street" published in 2019, and "New York Street Diaries" published in 2023 both became best-sellers and have been featured at New York's Museum of Modern Art.   Kristof Ramon is a pro-cycling photographer who covers some of the world's most prestigious races, including the Tour de France, the Giro d' Italia, the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011.    Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof's reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he's able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof's first book, The Art of Suffering, was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing.   Stay Connected: Phil Penman Website: https://www.philpenman.com Phil Penman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philpenman/ Phil Penman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philpenmanphotography/  Phil Penman Twitter: https://x.com/Penmanphoto  Phil Penman Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Penman   Kristof Ramon Website: https://kramon.be/ Kristof Ramon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kramon_velophoto Kristof Ramon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kramon/ Kristof Ramon Twitter: https://x.com/kristoframon  Kristof Ramon Photoshelter: https://kramon.photoshelter.com/ Kristof Ramon Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/  Kristof Ramon at Lawrence King Publishing: https://us.laurenceking.com/products/the-art-of-suffering

On this edition of the pod, we kick off 2025 with the intent to make it a year of celebration in a time of loss for me. But celebration is more fun, so let's do that.   2014's trip was a shout out to my grandmother and 2025 now has to be the same for my dad, who passed away at his home in NY just before Christmas. So, what are we doing by bike to celebrate his life and all sorts of other things?   Celebrating plans already made, and taking care of yourself - yes, I'm in western NY for a few weeks this winter but I'm taking some time to ride my ride in Florida. Familiar trip to be sure… the finish line is the same, but the route is so much more. Details in a few weeks!   A big ebike trip - maybe two. Taking the bike on a ride only the ebike can do… extra distance per day? Twice as fast? Looking at a push west and maybe north too.   Something international - you non-US folks have been very patient with this America-centric pod. We'll see if we can get wheels down someplace I need a passport.   West coast - what, you thought I wouldn't hit the Pacific coast? Pffft… find another podcast! Probably summer.   More bike adjacent adventures - exploring someplace where I ride, a bike gets used, but it's not necessarily the full focus.   Next week… I ran out of 2024! How about another tour journal to catch up?

Quelimane, Mozambique might not be the first city that comes to an American's mind when she thinks of an active transportation paradise. With 40 percent of trips taken on foot and 35 percent in the saddle, though, the east African city has already been ranked as the most walkable city on Earth — and now, it's setting its sights on becoming an international model for how to support people who walk and roll through visionary leadership and policy. This week on The Brake, we continue our dispatches from Bloomberg Citylab with an inteview with Quelimane's mayor Manuel de Araújo. In his 13 years in office, de Araújo's made it his mission to elevate the social status of his city's cyclists and use the bike as a tool for social change, even building the country's first cycle lanes the help of a $400,000 grant from the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure. In the process, though, he's come up against many of the same cultural and political challenges that American advocates face, even in a wildly different landscape where car dependency hasn't yet taken hold — and his leadership could be a powerful example for the U.S. as we head into uncertain times.

Cities that have done the work to attract a lot of cyclists aren't just safe for people on two wheels — they're safer for drivers, pedestrians, and everyone else on the road, too. But why, exactly, is that true, and how can we use that insight to sell bike-friendly infrastructure and policy to a public that barely rides at all?  On this episode of The Brake, we're back with Nick Ferenchak and Wes Marshall, who co-authored a new study of seven mid-sized cities that have gotten a lot of their residents into the saddle, and found that they reported 61 percent fewer traffic deaths than peer communities where everyone drives. And that finding may signal the need for a "new framework" for talking about what "bike" infrastructure is really for — and what kind of interventions can best protect people across all modes, if only by getting more residents out of their cars.  Listen in, and when you're done, check out our previous episodes with Wes and Nick. 

In this episode, I connect with Sara Dykman, author of the book Bicycling with Butterflies: My 10,201 Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration, for a conversation about her work studying endangered species for the forest service in California, her epic cycling with butterflies journey, and what we all can do help Monarchs survive and thrive, including the planting of the milkweed plants they feed on, adopting a "no-mow" strategy until the various wildflowers including milkweed are done doing their thing, and riding our bikes more often for more of our daily trips as a way to help halt our runaway global warming catastrophe.

It always amazes me that we can do all of our little errands and at the same time get terrific exercise. The papers and magazines are filled with articles that report about the effect of exercise on this or that disease. It seems like exercise is the only thing that is always recommended. I don't think you can do too much.

Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle alongside monarch butterflies on their storied annual migration—a round-trip adventure through three countries and over 10,000 miles. Her book Bicycling with Butterflies recounts this incredible, nearly nine-month odyssey. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Sara talks about being drawn to animals as a child into adulthood, how she became enchanted by monarchs, the evolution of her experiences into a book, and how all of us can connect with and help save monarch butterflies by planting milkweed.

In today's episode of the Consummate Athlete Podcast, we dive into the concept of high heart rate during exercise. We explore various reasons behind a higher heart rate, including potential data errors and the influence of your training history. We'll also discuss whether it's valid to compare exercise heart rates between different people. Additionally, we examine the broader significance of heart rate monitoring and why it's a valuable tool for athletes.  This Episode is brought to you by AG1- drinkAG1.com/MOLLYH – to receive your bonus of a free 1-year supply of Vitamin D and 5 Free Travel Packs   This Episode is brought to you by Consummate Athlete Event and Goal Based Training Plans, available in the Training Peaks Store.

“My parents passed away and it created this sense of recklessness in me, but in a positive way: I wanted to create a travel experience and push myself and learn about myself. Because you never know how long you’re gonna be around for.” –Daniel Troia In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Daniel talk about why Daniel chose to bicycle across America with no money or food, the privileges that set him apart from people who have to do it out of necessity, and how this kind of journey is a time-honored undertaking for people experiencing grief (2:00); the kinds of people Daniel met on the trip, how his vulnerability put him into contact with new and unfamiliar people and communities, and how visiting places in person increases empathy with the people who live here (12:30); what Daniel discovered while “dumpster diving,” and other surprises he found on the road (24:30); what it was like to self-document the trip DIY style with camera glasses, a GoPro, and a drone, and what experiences didn’t make it into the film (30:30); the lessons that Daniel brought home from the trip, where he plans to travel next, and his advice for people who want to create their own bike journey (44:00); and an “Easter Egg” about Daniel’s experiences in Kansas (49:00). Daniel Troia (@the_travelin_dude) is the director of We Are All in This Together, which documents his cross-country USA bicycle journey with no food and no money, in search of human connection.

Nearly every one of us will go through some mourning with the changes that come with menopause. Even if we go on hormone therapy, which can help a ton, there is some loss that comes at this time. A loss of our reproductive selves. A loss of speed in our sport. A loss of our ability to quickly bounce back after hard workouts. A loss of some aspect of our health, wellness, or appearance. Some are big. Some are small. But they're there and they're real. And that means going through some stages of grief, which is always painful, but also opens us up to a process of discovery and adaptation and transformation, which can take us to some amazing places. This week we explore the process and discuss how to work around the psychological obstacles of menopause with Performance Psychology Consultant, Dr. Kathryn Wilder. Kathryn C. Wilder, PhD, is a lifelong Human Performance and Wellness Consultant whose work has been featured in Bicycling, Triathlon, USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, and hundreds of other morning shows, online articles, and podcasts. She has worked with more than 1000 elite athletes, including some of the most successful cyclists in U.S. history, including Laura Van Gilder and Mandy Marquardt. She herself is a collegiate All-American, former Professional Cyclist, ranked top 20 in the United States, and two-time U.S. National Champion. She has had a thriving professional performance psychology practice since 1999. You can learn more about her and her work at her profile on LinkedIn.

Hello again, everyone. Welcome to episode 449 of the Outdoor Biz Podcast. This week, I'm talking with Lauren Hefferon. Lauren has been a devoted cyclist for over 40 years. While in high school in Southern NH, Lauren discovered her passion for pedaling after a serious ski injury prevented her from downhill ski racing and playing many team sports. Upon graduation with a degree in Graphic Design in Mass Art, Laure decided to follow her entrepreneurial cravings and launched Ciclismo Classico. Their mission is to inspire active travelers to embrace cycling as a soulful form of travel that connects us with the world and to the passionate, curious, and creative human spirit.

This is a human-powered adventure story not just because Daniel Troia traveled by bike…but because it was powered by the kindness of strangers. Equipped with hidden camera glasses and a cardboard sign that said, "Ran out of food. Anything helps," Daniel spent seven months bicycling across the United States, listening to stories from the people who offered help. His travel documentary, “We Are All In This Together,” has garnered 15 awards at various film festivals and is being used to raise money for homeless shelters. What did he learn from the experience? Find out today as Daniel recounts his adventure and the making of the film.  You'll hear why he felt uncomfortable nearly the entire trip, the unexpected people he met who changed his life, and the biggest lessons he learned about adversity, grief, togetherness, and humanity as a whole. You'll get advice on long-distance biking, dealing with confrontations, and more. What have your travels taught you about humanity? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you'll share them by sending me an audio message. Premium Passport: Get ad-free episodes, exclusive content, and access to all episodes for only $3/month.
