#230 - Ten Ironman distances in ten days sounds like a headline, but JD Tremblay treats it like a case study. JD is a military veteran, ultra-endurance athlete, and founder of Hungry Warrior Academy, and he joins me to explain how he became one of the rare finishers of the Epic Deca across the Hawaiian islands and why the real secret is not heroic motivation. It is structure, repeatable systems, and the decision to follow them when your mind is loud and your body is tired.We get into the myth that the military “gives” discipline, and JD's sharper take: the military gives structure, and you choose whether you live inside it. From there, we talk about building high performance without burning out, including energy regulation, nervous system shifts from sympathetic fight-or-flight to parasympathetic recovery, and why rest is not a reward but part of the plan. JD also shares his lens on starting versus quitting, the difference between DNS and DNF, and how a simple non-negotiable can become the first brick in a better life.JD opens up about faith, identity, and community, including the moment his son reshapes how he thinks about who he is beyond titles and achievements. He also tells the rawer side of the Epic Deca journey: going into debt, selling his house to fund the race, and hitting a breaking point that forces humility. We even had to pause mid-interview due to an electrical outage, which ends up fitting the theme perfectly: adjust, come back, keep going.If you want practical mindset tools, endurance training lessons, and a clearer definition of discipline you can apply to work, fitness, or family, hit play, then subscribe, share this with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To learn more about JD and his work with Hungry Warrior Academy please visit www.hungrywarrioracademy.com.

Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Richie Hansen, a former college athlete turned sports injury prevention clinic founder, coach, and now. . . venture investor. Drawing from his roots in the sports world and experience leading the Roots Running Project (a nonprofit that supports post-collegiate athletes) Richie talks about the unique dynamics of training groups, the benefits of nonprofit structures for athlete development, and his transition into the world of healthcare venture capital. He goes on to discuss what it takes to evaluate and invest in early-stage companies, lessons learned from managing a portfolio of dozens of startups, and the ambitious mission behind his latest venture, Ola Capital, which is focused on closing the gap between healthspan and lifespan. Whether you're interested in athlete development, tech innovation in wellness, or the "behind the scenes" nuts and bolts of starting a venture fund, this episode has insights you won't want to miss. When it comes to fundraising in today's private markets Hansen states, "Fundraising is obviously a challenge, especially in the current environment. And part of that is just the lack of liquidity that's occurred within private markets over the last couple years. It just leaves a lot of LPs still waiting for those liquidity events to occur so they could redeploy back into either new funds or new technologies." Key themes discussed Athlete-driven nonprofit model for developing post-collegiate runners Challenges and strategies in raising investment funds Evaluation criteria for early-stage health and wellness startups Differences between nonprofit and for-profit sports organizations Operational support for founders as a venture investor Transition from sports rehab clinics to tech and investing Healthy aging and longevity investment focus at Ola Capital A Few Key Takeaways 1.Roots Running Project's Innovative Nonprofit Model: Hansen described the rationale behind structuring Roots Running Project as a nonprofit. This allowed for diverse funding sources, flexibility in athlete sponsorships, and greater support for post-collegiate athletes who might not initially qualify for top-tier brand sponsorships. The nonprofit format enabled more athletes to reach their potential without brand exclusivity constraints. 03:33 2. Value of Athlete Development Parallels Early-Stage Investing: Richie also drew parallels between supporting developing athletes and early-stage founders. Both require belief in potential, focus on character and drive, and the right kind of support without micromanagement. The operational approach in coaching athletes informed his perspective in nurturing founders as a venture investor. 11:18 3. Niche Venture Focus Yields Strategic Advantages: While at Revere, Hansen and his team leveraged deep industry relationships—particularly in oral health—to inform investment decisions. This provided unique "inside baseball" perspectives, helping to select companies likely to be adopted or acquired by partners in the space, and showing how specialized funds can offer significant value to both startups and investors. 13:53 4. Venture Fundraising Demands Long-Term Relationship Building: Raising a venture fund, especially in the current private market environment, is a long, relationship-driven process. Hansen detailed how the process for the $35 million Ola Capital fund relies on networks with founders, executives, medical experts, family offices, and athletes who share a passion for health, wellness, and longevity. Fundraising typically takes 12–36 months and hinges on trust, track record, and shared vision. 19:12 5. Ola Capital's Mission-Closing the Gap Between Healthspan and Lifespan: Ola Capital focuses on healthy aging, aiming to reduce the sizable gap in the U.S. between years lived and years lived in good health. Richie explained how the fund leverages elite athlete networks and clinical expertise to source, validate, and promote technologies that can support longer, healthier lives for all, not just elite performers. 22:21 Resources:  Richey Hansen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rthansen Ola Capital: https://www.olacapital.vc   Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: https://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: https://www.higherdose.com

Amanda Rosen's story is one of relentless determination, unexpected setbacks, and ultimately, transformation. Diagnosed with spondylolisthesis at just seven years old, Amanda grew up managing chronic pain—but never letting it define her. She went on to become a Division I lacrosse player at Rutgers University and later pushed her limits even further as an Ironman competitor. But in 2016, while training for a qualifying race for Kona, everything changed. A sudden progression of her condition left her in debilitating pain—unable to walk, care for her family, or continue the active life she had always known. After exhausting conservative treatments, Amanda made the difficult decision to undergo spinal fusion surgery. In this episode, Amanda shares her journey from lifelong athlete to patient, navigating insurance challenges, surgery, and recovery with resilience and perspective. Her story is not just about healing physically, but about redefining identity, asking for help, and finding strength beyond performance. Today, Amanda is pain-free and living life on her terms—reminding us all that recovery is possible, and that even in our hardest moments, we can find a way forward. Support the show

Welcome back to Run with Fitpage!As the 130th Boston Marathon approaches on April 20, 2026, we are bringing back one of our most cherished conversations — our episode with Jack Fultz, the 1976 Boston Marathon champion.This year marks the Golden Jubilee of Jack Fultz's legendary victory — 50 years since one of the most iconic and grueling races in marathon history. On that day, temperatures had already crossed 100 degrees an hour before the noon start. Spectators lined the course with garden hoses to cool down the runners, earning the race its legendary name, "The Run for the Hoses." With fewer than 40 percent of the 1,898 starters managing to finish, Jack held his composure, took the lead with six miles to go, and never looked back, finishing in 2:20:19 to become only the 5th American to win Boston since World War II.In this episode, Jack takes us deep into his race strategy, his mindset, and the lessons he learned from running one of the most brutal marathons in history. He shares the fascinating insight that viewing other runners as allies rather than opponents was one of the key reasons behind his victory. Post his running career, Jack has coached the Dana Farber Institute Boston Marathon team and spent nearly 30 years teaching sports psychology at Tufts University, making him one of the most thoughtful voices on what it truly takes to run and winIf you are an Indian runner heading to Boston this April, or a runner anywhere in the world gearing up for your biggest race yet, this conversation is one you cannot afford to miss. From race strategy and pacing to the mental side of running 26.2 miles, Jack covers it all — and every word of it is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.Whether you are toeing the start line in Hopkinton this April, chasing a personal best, or simply a lover of the sport, this episode is a masterclass in racing smart, staying mentally strong, and finding meaning in every mile.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Beth McKenzie is an American pro trail runner living in Australia. She is also the Founder and CEO of Wyn Republic, a performance sports apparel brand, and a mother of two. Over the last two seasons, Beth has accumulated several very strong performances including 2x podium finishes at Ultra Trail Australia and 2x podium finishes at Tarawera. Last fall, in her 100 mile debut, she finished 2nd place at the Javelina Jundred.

Endurance sports give me structure when life feels chaotic. Miles are measurable. Effort makes sense. Pain feels productive. For a while, that clarity can feel like purpose.In this episode, I zoom out on the uncomfortable truth that endurance sports have limits. The miles don't fix self-worth, resolve identity, or heal everything we try to bury under training. I talk about what happens when the goal stops working, not because of injury or burnout, but because motivation quietly expires. Through stories from the Calendar Year Triple Crown, the Great Western Loop, and learning to slow down, this is an honest look at why I chase big goals and how I'm trying to keep doing hard things for the right reasons.Sponsors: Sawyer, Janji, Garage Grown Gear, CS Instant Coffee.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://www.sawyer.com/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abChapters00:00 The Journey into Endurance Sports02:58 Understanding Motivation and Its Limits12:01 The Role of Endurance Sports in Self-Discovery18:43 Finding Meaning Beyond Goals26:12 Reflecting on Personal Growth and Future DirectionsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Host Dirk Friel sits down with Dr. Scott Frey, author, neuroscientist, and psychologist, for a deep dive into the critical role that the brain plays in endurance sports performance. Scott Frey explains how the brain is the "central command and control center" for both physical and cognitive performance, and how neuroplasticity—our brain's ability to change—offers untapped potential for athletes. Scott breaks down how mental fatigue impacts physical output and why neglecting “brain tapering” could be holding you back on race day. Discover the science behind neuroplasticity, actionable strategies to regulate stress and arousal, and why even top performers may be leaving “low-hanging fruit” on the table by not deloading cognitive stress before big events. Whether you're coaching, competing, or striving for your personal best, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to harness the power of your brain for peak performance. 00:00 From Running to Brain Research 06:11 "From Science to Sport Mastery" 13:48 "Optimizing Performance Through Neuroplasticity" 20:44 "Brain's Role in Workout Performance" 23:13 "Tapering Cognitive Load for Athletes" 27:17 "Training Decision-Making Under Fatigue" 36:13 "Rethinking Brain Training Methods" 38:15 "Training for Resilience and Balance" 44:08 "Brain Signals and Survival" 48:53 Measuring Cognitive Fatigue in Training 56:37 "Concussion Effects and Recovery" 01:00:18 "How Brains Heal Differently"

In part 1 of the Beginner Series, we discuss the ins and outs of what you need to know if you're just starting out in triathlon, or considering doing so. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: What is triathlon?Standard and non-standard triathlon distancesWho can do a triathlon?Gear and equipment to get startedBasic terminologyMikael's first triathlon storyCommon questions and misconceptionsNext stepsDETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews. They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode. Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.  The shownotes for today's episode can be found at www.scientifictriathlon.com/beginner1/LINKS AND RESOURCES: The original Beginner Tips series on That Triathlon ShowWHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NEXT?If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll love the following episodes: Technique improvement and swim training for triathletes with Brenton Ford | EP#320Polarised training with Stephen Seiler, PhD | EP#177You can find our full episode archives here, where you can filter for categories such as Training, Racing, Science & Physiology, Swimming, Cycling, Running etc.You can also find separate archives for specific series of episodes I've done, specifically Q&A episodes, TTS Thursday episodes, and Beginner Tips episodes. LEARN MORE ABOUT SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON: The Scientific Triathlon website is the home of That Triathlon Show and everything else that we doContact us through our contact form or email me directly (note - email/contact form messages get responded to much more quickly than Instagram DMs)Subscribe to our NewsletterFollow us on InstagramLearn more about our coaching, training plans, and training camps.
