In this week's episode we talk to triathlon coach, Chris Bagg, about:How to effectively train for Ironman (full and 70.3)What you should be doing to qualify for Ironman World ChampsChris Bagg has been an athlete his whole life, ever since he dangled from the outside of an escalator in the Boston Museum of Science at age five. Chris played soccer through college, standing in one place as a goalkeeper, and then, after moving to Washington D.C., he discovered he had an aptitude for endurance, rather than ball sports. Since then he's been a runner, a triathlete, a cyclist, and a cross-country skier, all at a high level. He raced professionally and semi-professionally as a triathlete and cyclist for 15 years, respectively, posting career results of 4th at Ironman Canada in 2011, 2nd at Challenge Penticton in 2014, 13th (and top American) at the great Challenge Roth in 2017, 12th at the ITU Long Distance World Championships in 2017, and 22nd at Unbound Gravel in 2019. He started coaching endurance sports in 2009, but with his background as a teacher, he's been a coach for most of his life. He happily describes his job now as “a gym teacher for adults.”As the founder of Campfire Endurance Coaching, Chris aims to provide all athletes, regardless of level or genetic gift, with the kind of training that professional athletes receive: consistent and thoughtful communication, programs tailored to their goals and lives, and a wide perspective that encompasses the athlete's entire career. He believes that endurance sport, through its unique flavor of adversity, can make athletes faster, happier, and healthier, and he wants that for all of you.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.***Keep up with Chris Bagg and Campfire Endurance:Campfire Endurance IG: @campire_enduranceChris Bagg IG: @christopherbaggWeb: CampfireEndurance.comHow to Qualify for Kona in 6 Simple (But Not Easy) Steps: https://80cd-info.systeme.io/2af80225Mentioned:GoPro Underwater camera: https://amzn.to/3Vb6c9SMORE NR New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWPOD10 If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/ Save 20% on all supplements at our trusted online source: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannell Join Nutritional Revolution's The Feed Club to get $20 off right away with an additional $20 Feed credit drop every 90 days.: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolution Interested in blood testing?

Jeff Symonds has earned a reputation for getting ugly. From his epic win at Challenge Penticton following a bike crash at 60kph to the infamous Ironman World Championships in 2016 when he rode with one leg for the last 10km of the bike, Jeff is not shy about digging deep when it matters. Over the years he has racked up an impressive resume on the pro triathlon circuit including a podium finish at the World 70.3 Championships in 2011 and winning the Ironman Asia Pacific Championships in 2014. But it has not always been easy. Over the years Jeff has struggled with his own demons. His desire for perfection, at times, has left him paralyzed, frustrated and void of any joy for the process. The lows after bigger successes were often self-destructive and left him contemplating retirement. Thankfully Jeff has reconnected with his roots and found new energy in the process.
