After a few weeks away from chatting with athletes, I have a real corker for you today.  I met Owen Martin on his very first visit to Kona back in 2010 and I even recorded a conversation back then about how using a CompuTrainer had helped him achieve a lifetime goal.  Now, 10 years later, Owen has just qualified for the Hawaii Ironman World Championships for the 11th year in a row. He is a model of consistency and in today’s episode Owen shares his thoughts on training, life, long term approach and a whole host of other topics. If you have any ambitions to get to Kona or if you just want to enjoy some longevity in the sport you must listen to this. It’s another long chat but there are some great stories in here and important lessons including: The traits of elite vs average age group Ironman athletes Owen has all guns blazing as he takes aim at the drug cheats in his age group who regularly occupy the podium How to recover from Kona and jet lag and still win your age group 8 weeks later  The importance of patience in training and racing The value of a coach, and why the fact that his coach cares about him matters to Owen  Why communication and the sharing of information are critical in the coach/athlete relationship In Kona this year Owen’s “numbers” were the best ever and yet he underperformed. 2 months later with less impressive figures he wins his age group in Cozumel. We talk about this in-depth, as well as the importance of confidence in your fitness. Owen is planning to do a weekly blog on Instagram about his journey to Kona 2020. You can watch his videos on Instagram at owenie53 If you are ever in Newry, N. Ireland then drop in to Owen’s cycling studio - Ventoux Cycling Studio and say hello.

Simon, Shane and Nathan are back for a minor landmark in Zwiftcast history, with the publication of the 50th episode. . . and as usual, there’s plenty to detain the Zwifcasters as they ponder developments in the Zwiftiverse. The trio herald the half century with a chat that clarifies which new courses are due and maybe when . . . we now know we’re getting two new maps and late summer/early Autumn is looking favourite for release. Switching gears, there’s a chat with Rachael Elliott on the progress of her recovery from her serious stroke, which left the noted Zwift and IRL racer with permanently impaired vision. Rachael is candid about her low moments, but equally positive about the effect of the support the community has given her.There’s also a chance to find out more about a special charity fund-raising effort for the Stoke Association, led by Rachael’s friend and the leading light of Zwift Power, Glen Knight. Speaking of which . . . . . Simon, Shane and Nathan spell out what we know about the temporary suspension of Zwift Power and walk through some of the complex factors which have led to the much-appreciated service going dark.Sticking with tech, with the imminent arrival of Eurobike , the Zwiftcasters talk trainers, ranging over the slow pace of development around Smart Bikes and SRAM’s acquisition of Computrainer. Shane’s review of the Wattbike Atom was less than flattering about its performance on Zwift and that leads to a discussion about the honesty of reviews and the reaction from brands whose products are put through Shane’s Lama Lab and come out battered and bruised. This episode ends with Shane and Nathan instantly signing up for another 50! Have they thought that one through? Hope you enjoy listening

Steve walker is many things. He's a marine, he's a husband, he's a realtor, he's a dad and he's an Ironman Triathlete. In 2015 Steve even got to race the Ironman World Championships in Kona. It's a great story and like many of my interviews here on the Mile after Mile Podcast this one has a twist. Steve is legally blind.   Steve has Retinitis Pigmentosa which was discovered when he was in the US Marine Corps. We talk a little bit about his condition in the first few moments of the podcast.   Interestingly Steve has or had a tremendous fear of water and swimming. But he came to triathlon with the help of his wife and his best friend and of course, Google.   We talk about going through a dark place as he lost his vision and how he came out of that through training for triathlon and with the help of those around him.   We talk about how Steve and his guide are connected to each other during the race.   No Ironman interview would be complete without a full discussion of his bike. Steve uses a Calfee tandem bike. Steve describes his bike as the Ferrari of tandems. We do a lot of chatting throughout the podcast about lots of things to do do with cycling.   His local Triathlon shop is Triathlon Lab in Redondo Beach.   He found his first swim coach and as luck would have it he met a great training partner in Carl, his first Bike pilot. We talk about the challenges of swimming and training for swimming as a visually impaired athlete. Luckily he has Endless Pools as a sponsor.   His first 70.3 was Superfrog in Coronodo California and then Ironman Cozumel. We talk about how he and his guide navigate the rough surf and conditions in a triathlon. This is at about 27:00 and it's super interesting how Steve and his guides do this.   We talk about how Steve got to the Ironman Kona start line which is a great story. Nico from Challenged Athletes Foundation gets a good shout out here. We also talk about what it was like to be followed by NBC during the race.   Steve's guide in Kona was pro triathlete, Chris Foster. Steve talks about what an amazing pilot Chris is around 35 minutes into the podcast and many other times.   We talk about his whole day in Kona. Steve describes the deep water mass swim start as "quiet chaos."   We talk about transition. Which when you can't see is a lot more complicated.   We talk about the heat and wind and rain on the Kona bike course.   Steve and I talk about the mental aspect of dealing with the heat on the bike and run. We talk about that special nervousness that comes with wondering if you'll make it through an Ironman run. We talk about the help it is to see people we know and love on the run course. Steve gives shout outs to his amazing family, Chris's coach Siri Lindley, Steve's agent Berk Boge and his Computrainer rep who were all there cheering him on.   We talk about the fact that Kona is a once in a lifetime opportunity and making the most of that special event. Steve had other sponsors including Monster Energy Drink and Go Pro.   Endurance athletes are some of the most generous people I know so I know that one thing my listeners want to know is how they can be a resource for athletes like Steve. Two resources for guides and athletes that we discuss are Bicycling Blind and United in Stride.   I think I say "fantastic" about 30 times during this interview. But for me as the host I just loved learning about how Steve and his great team have made his Ironman journey happen. I hope that you too enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed making the interview.   You can follow Steve's adventures on Instagram at SteveWalkerRacing and he has a website. He'll be running the California International Marathon in hopes of running the Boston Marathon. And he was inspired by my interview with Joan Dietchman to aspire to ride RAAM.   Steve, thank you very much for being a guest on the Mile after Mile Podcast and thank you to everybody who listens.   If you love the Mile after Mile Podcast I do hope you'll be so kind as to leave a review on iTunes.   You can find out about Amy's adventures at www.amysaysso.com

Subscribe via iTunes Torbjørn Sindballe I interview retired Danish triathlete Torbjørn Sindballe for episode 14.  Sindballe retired in 2009, but his accomplishments include a third place finish at Ironman Hawaii in 2007, a brief hold on the Ironman Hawaii bike course record (4:21 in 2005), and two ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championship titles. In 2008 Sindballe had a subpar result at Ironman Hawaii, suffering on the run and finishing  59th with digestive problems that were likely related to his periodized eating in the week leading up to the race when he followed 5 days of high fat eating with 2 days or carb loading.  This is the same protocol he successfully used in 2007 where he finished third in Hawaii despite the fact that his run training was limited due to an injury. Sindballe experimented with the Paleo diet, high fat eating, and zero calorie training in an attempt to increase his fat burning ability, which is a valuable ability for long distance racing.  He was able to burn fat at a high rate (over 1 gram per minute at Ironman pace) and he currently recommends carefully planned zero calorie training to achieve this. He explains his protocol during the interview.  It’s most beneficial for long distance athletes, and nutrition must be carefully planned around zero calorie workouts. Zero calorie workouts are not done every day, and they are done at lower intensity. He recommends zero calories for most lower intensity workouts of less than 1.5 to 2 hours, and occasional longer zero calorie workouts.  It’s not a protocol that should be undertaken haphazardly because there is a risk of subsequent poor recovery and performance. Sindballe was a large athlete, weighing in for Ironman Hawaii at 177 pounds/80kgs and standing 6'3"/1.90 meters.  He consumed 350 calories per hour on the bike but he says if he had to do it again he would shoot for 250 calories per hour.  He talks about this at the end of the interview.  This is less than what others might recommend for an Ironman, especially for an athlete of his size. Interbike While at Interbike in Las Vegas I interviewed Eric Greig, a co-founder of TourdeGiro.com.  The site is designed to work with a CompuTrainer and allow for online racing and group rides.  You can create your own course and use one of their courses.  A free trial is available.
