Podcasts about double ironman

Embark on a transformative adventure with me, Barton Bryan, as I sit down with ultra Ironman athlete Dan Duran to unravel the threads of extreme endurance intertwined with the fabric of a mindful life. Our conversation unveils Dan's journey from addiction's grasp to the pinnacle of discipline, revealing how the pillars of family, habits, and a smile can deflect life's blows. Alongside, I peel back the layers of my own experiences, sharing the raw power of mental fortitude and the steadfast love of family that fuels the drive to transcend human limits.As we traverse the landscapes of mental resilience and fatherhood, Dan and I examine the hallucinatory corridors of exhaustion and the life-affirming touchstones that guide us to the finish line. This episode isn't just a chronicle of physical feats; it's a deep dive into the heart of what propels us forward in the face of life's marathons, be they literal or metaphorical. Listeners will find resonance in our tales of sobriety's triumphs, the rigors of career pivots, and the relentless pursuit of personal redemption through the crucible of endurance sports.In the arena of holistic fitness, we illuminate the often-overlooked aspects of recovery, balance, and the science that underpins a healthy lifestyle, especially as we age. Rodney Corn's wisdom has reshaped my approach to Ironman challenges, underscoring the necessity of tuning into our body's signals and the evolving insights of fitness research. We invite you to absorb the essence of our discussion, which promises to arm you with knowledge, inspire action, and ignite a passion for pursuing excellence in all domains of life. Join us for this profound exploration of what it means to live fully, challenged yet unbroken, in the pursuit of our greatest selves.Dan's Bio: Dan manages the international and industry advocacy division for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

W trzydziestym dziewiątym odcinku "Biegowych Podcastów" gościmy Maję Makowską, w mediach społecznościowych znaną jako Sugar Woman. To niezwykle aktywna 31-latka, która od prawie 23 lat zmaga się z cukrzycą. Mimo choroby podejmuje najbardziej ekstremalne sportowe wyzwania. Rozmowę poprowadzili Damian Bąbol i Marcin Dulnik. Maja Makowska, znana w sieci jako Sugar Woman, od lat inspiruje osoby chore na cukrzycę do uprawiania sportu. Jest prawdopodobnie pierwszą diabetyczką na świecie, która ukończyła zawody Double Ironman. We wrześniu ubiegłego roku w austriackim Bad Radkersburg przepłynęła 7,8 km, przejechała na rowerze 360 km i przebiegła 84,4 km w czasie 29 godzin, 21 minut i 5 sekund. Już 18 marca Makowska po raz drugi w życiu weźmie udział w Biegu Na Szczyt Rondo 1. Do pokonania będzie miała 38 pięter, 836 stopnie i 142 metry w pionie. W naszej rozmowie nie zabrakło również tematu biegu WOŚP "Policz się z Cukrzycą", który odbędzie się w najbliższą niedzielę, 29 stycznia. Z odcinka podcastu biegowe.pl dowiesz się m.in.: - jak Maja Makowska jako osoba chora na cukrzycę radzi sobie z uprawianiem sportu, - jaką "dyscyplinę" uprawiała przed rozpoczęciem sportowej przygody, - dlaczego warto brać udział w takich imprezach jak Bieg WOŚP "Policz się z Cukrzycą", - dlaczego zdecydowała się wziąć udział w zawodach na dystansie podwójnego Ironmana, - jakie były największe wyzwania związane z tym ekstremalnym wyzwaniem, - jakie ma plany sportowe na przyszłość. "Biegowe Podcasty" nagrywamy w Studiu PLAC przy ul. Ordynackiej 9/23 w Warszawie.

Od dzieciństwa choruje na cukrzycę i jest dowodem na to, że choroba nie musi być przeszkodą w normalnym życiu i osiąganiu wymarzonych celów. Choć sport w jej życiu miał sprawić że schudnie, z czasem stał się prawdziwą pasją: dziś Maja jest w stanie przebiec 360 km, przejechać na rowerze ponad 86km i przepłynąć niemal 8. Dwukrotne pokonanie tego dystansu uczyniło z niej pierwszą diabetyczkę, która ukończyła zawody Double Ironman. Poza sportem angażuje się w obalanie mitów na temat cukrzycy - zwłaszcza dzieci i młodzież, dla których diagnoza niesłusznie oznacza zawalenie się świata. O swoich doświadczeniach opowiada jako Sugarwoman na instagramie: dzieli się informacjami o treningach a także odpowiada na pytania, co robić by mimo choroby, żyć pełnią życia. Gościem Aleksandry Galant w Drogowskazach jest Maja Makowska.

Joy is...The Things We Hate.In November 2019, Claire Smith became the first British athlete ever to complete a continuous Double Deca Iron Distance triathlon: 48 miles of swimming, 2,240 miles of cycling and 524 miles of running, in 28 days. The numbers are almost too much to process and, as impressive as they are, the woman behind them is even more so, and for reasons that the numbers don't tell.Over the last ten years, 'Brutal Claire' has been learning how to use her innate drive, ambition and healthy dose of craziness for a better purpose. Her first marathon was quickly followed by an Ironman, then Double Ironman...all this from a woman to whom athleticism, by her own admission, did not come naturally, and who struggled for much of her young adult life with an eating disorder, abusive relationships, and the downward spiral of alcohol addiction. Oh and she was also bringing up her two children and pursuing a career as a graphic designer and, later, events organiser. Through ultra-distance racing, Claire pulled herself from rock bottom to compete at the highest levels of the sport and found a successful company that helps others to realise their potential.Claire and I share a 'brutally' honest and open conversation about overcoming mental health struggles, abusive relationships and addiction by doing things that push the limits of endurance. We consider what the word 'addiction' means to us and how it can be channeled in a positive manner.Claire is a sensitive, warm soul and I was so grateful for the connection that this interview provided: we literally laughed and cried together as we shared about a mutual early loathing of netball (sorry listeners); seeing what you 'can't do' as inspiration to work out what you 'can'; the additional challenges that being a woman in the endurance and adventure world poses, and our issues with the notion of being 'women who beat the men'. This, alongside narrating Claire's incredible journey as an athlete and business person; considering what being a student of the sport means; being prepared to fail without glamorising it; the power of a good schedule and a little cry; self-sufficiency; building communities; fear and, of course, that small matter of taking a baby-jogger for a very very long outing down the A9.Thank you, Claire, truly; your emotional generosity, modesty and strength are something I will carry with me for a long time.Follow: @brutalclaire @brutaleventsukChallenge: www.brutalevents.co.ukRead: Becoming Brutal and No Easy Day Hosted on Acast.

Claire in her own words:   “I have always been a highly motivated person, but when I was younger, I was highly motivated to self destruct!    Over the last ten years, I have learnt how to use my drive, ambition and general craziness for a better purpose. I completed my first marathon, Ironman and then Double Ironman... Many more ultra triathlons followed and also, Brutal Events was born.   I will be honest and admit I have struggled with addiction (and the depression and self-esteem issues that come with it), but almost eight years ago, I finally turned my life around and have not looked back since.  Of all my achievements, this is what I am most proud of, but it's the one I don't speak about. Well, until now…   I often get asked why I do the ultra endurance stuff, and I guess I love the fact that you can do anything if you train well and really want it.    In other news, I am a mum of two children (that aren't kids anymore), a graphic/website designer, a writer, and I also run Brutal Events - brutalevents.co.uk"   Content Warning - I've marked the episode as explicit as we do talk about weight and disordered eating.

In this week's episode of the On A Mission podcast we are joined by “The Utter Nutter” World Record holder Steven Green.   Despite being a property millionaire, trainer and public speaker, Steven is perhaps best known for his extreme personality. Over the last few years, he has put his infamous bulletproof mindset to the test. From sleeping rough and taking heroin on the streets of Leeds to completing a double Iron Man with no sleep with only 16 weeks training, it's safe to say there are no half measures with Steven.   In his usual straight-talking style he wasn't scared to voice his opinions and unleash some controversy but I think you'll agree it makes for a fantastic interview.   CONTACT METHODS: Linkedin: Linkedin.com/in/ellie-mckay/ Facebook: Facebook.com/ellie.mckay.3150 Instagram: Instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTIA0t0Xcm2Fz3kOzX3XaBA?sub_confirmation=1 Clubhouse: @ellie83 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Why We Tri Podcast ProductionSeason 2: Episode 412x Ironman Finisher, 7x 100mile Ultra Runner, Double Ironman Oregon Anvil Finisher, Author of 'Tripolar,' Coach and Science Teacher, Father, Husband, 14+ years Sober and Mental Health Awareness Advocate"Ultra" Tim Davis BEFORE LISTENING:I highly recommend reading or listening to "Ultra" Tim's Book: 'Tripolar: The Story of a Bipolar Triathlete.' In this episode we Zoom on over to Los Angeles, California where "Ultra" Tim Davis has just logged in with his favorite beverage. And I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say I am extremely curious as to what this 7x 100mile Ultra Runner has as his favorite beverage. Tim and I jump right in to his page turning autobiography that will have your HR in Zone5 within the first few chapters. Tim bravely shares the traumatic and tragic loss of his father in a sudden accident when Tim was only 13 years old. Tim endured years of blame for the accidental death of his father. He also endured relentless physical and verbal abuse by a family member he struggled to look up to. Drugs and Alcohol were Tim's coping mechanisms from a young age and on into adulthood. Tune in and hear how with the loving support of his devoted wife, Mariah, Tim's Bipolar diagnosis and Mental Healthcare Treatment along side his venture into Triathlon and Ultra Running gave new meaning to Tim's overall WHY in LIFE. Extremely grateful for Tim's bravery in sharing his story on my show. Tim and his family's courage to reveal the raw truth about the effects of mental illness and addiction provides a beacon of hope for so many that are in the dark.Connect w/ "Ultra" Tim:www.ultratimdavis.comIG: tripolar_timFB: ultratimdavis1Twitter: ultratimdavis1LinkedIn: Tim Davis*****************************************************If you or someone you know is in need of help please refer to the following:Alcoholics Anonymous: www.aa.orgFriends & Family Members: https://al-anon.org/al-anon-meetings/SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

Fabio Spiteri is a 44-year old ultra-endurance triathlete from the small country of Malta. Fabio's love for sport started at the age of 22, after he became a young dad wanting to leave his unhealthy past behind him. He started off as an 800m track runner then transitioning into Triathlons. In his years as a triathlete, he has completed 19 70.3s (PB of 4:24) 9 Ironmans (PB of 9:35), a Double-Ironman (in 26+hours), a Triple Ironman (in 45+hours), and is now eyeing his first Quintuple (5x) and Deca (10x) Ironman events. Tune in to this conversation to hear what pushes and motivates Fabio to keep going for these ultra distances, how he prepares for such demanding events (with Ironmans being just another training day/workout!), the Triathlon scene in Malta, and more! - SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW: if you've enjoyed the show, it would mean a lot to us if you could leave the show a positive review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

Marta Otto opowiada jak to jest wystartować i zwycieżyć na dystansie podwójnego Ironman'a

When I first heard of this lad I was told, "he's into his training". I thought, hmm, I'm into my training too. But alas, to say he's 'into his training' is to put it as mildly as it can be put. "He does triathlons" I was told. So do I, I thought. But alas... This absolute LUNATIC is currently training for what's colloquially known as a "Double Ironman". I'll let him explain what that is exactly but put it this way, the cut off time is 34 hours. Madness! We'd a great chat and I'm already looking forward to having him on again, either closer to D-Day or soon after. As it happens, he's doing it for charity and can be supported directly via his 'GoFundMe' page. So be sound and throw him the equivalent of a pint or whatever you can afford. https://uk.gofundme.com/double-ironman-attempt As always I can be contacted on imoffthelead@gmail.com Thanks for listening, Fran. www.patreon.com/offthelead

Our guest for this episode of The Effortless Swimming Podcast is a member of Swimprove - our swim coaching community - Rait Ratasepp. He just completed the Double Ultra World Cup in Hungary. What that is, is a double ironman. So think of ironman and double the distance. He did extremely well and ended up winning this event by about 3 hours. In this podcast, we will cover his training, the things he focused on for his swim and what are some of the workouts that he did.
