In episode 51 I got the chance to speak with Mark Allen, 6x ironman Champion in Kona, one of the most accomplished triathletes ever and one of the most inspiring athletes in the world. While Mark is well-known for his accomplishments, it’s his process and commitment that is really incredible. He shares his work with Shaman, Brant Secunda and their work together with drumming, retreats, vision quests and how this exploration and development completely changed his approach to racing by tapping into a much deeper meaning. He talks about overcoming injury, the importance of surrender in life and racing and why having a coach or mentor is so important. Mark shares his current insights into surfing, the power of walking in nature and how to eat for life and endurance sport. He also shares his thoughts on strength training, as he was one of the first triathletes to utilize this in his workouts in the 1990s. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/into-the-well/support

We’re on a roll right now with some amazing guests and some great learning for you all. This week is no different as my guest is Ironman Legend, Mark Allen. Mark is a 6-time Ironman World Champion and the only male to have won both the ITU World Championships and Ironman World Championships in the same year.  Back in the 80’s Mark was one of the “Big Four” with Dave Scott, Scott Tinley, and Scott Molina.  Apart from not having ‘Scott’ in his name he also did a lot of other things differently.   He ritually took 2-3 month off structured training after each Kona race, followed a different nutrition path to most other athletes (who as Dave Scott explained were mostly on the fashionable at the time, high carb/low-fat diet), and he embraced the spiritual side of health and fitness, hooking up with Huichol Shaman Brant Secunda to prepare for his big races.   Since retiring in 1996 he has continued on the healthy living path.  This is a key focus of our discussion today, particularly in light of the current COVID19 pandemic.  We discuss many subjects, including: Learning patience and discipline through years of swimming The benefits of a simplified training environment Mark delivers a short physiology lesson about how the body uses fat and carbs for fuel Talking MAF - Mark shares his frustrations at how slow MAF running was when he first tried it. LISTEN CAREFULLY as he describes having to run almost 3mins/mile slower than his Ironman race pace! The huge benefits of exercising outdoors At 62, how does Mark Allen keep fit? Stress, and why you must take into account total stress load from everything in your life, not just training The keto diet, and why it’s generally a good idea to stay away from extremes of anything Mark’s tips on how to train for 2021 and protect yourself from coronavirus To follow Mark Allen please visit his website MarkAllenCoaching.com You can also find him on  Instagram - markallengrip Facebook - MarkAllenCoaching Twitter - @CoachingMark Fit Soul, Fit Body - Mark Allen & Brant Secunda website We also chatted about all of the following Mark talked about a couple of books… Firstly Fit Soul Fit Body - 9 keys to a healthier happier you And also Art of Competition In recent months, Mark has been writing a series of blogs and filming videos for YouTube about keeping it simple.  Shed Talks - Mark Allen’s videos on how to keep life simple The Mark Allen Blog posts about “Keeping it simple” We chatted briefly about that race in 1989.

• Mark talks about what it was like when he was competing in Ironman triathlons, the first six of which he was not able to win. • Mark shares how his family and friends told him that he shouldn't even keep doing the Ironman in Hawaii and how he challenged himself to ask the question, “what is it within me that's keeping me from the results I want?” • Mark talks about how he increased his training and added 10% on to it, also training during the hottest part of the day to get himself to a point where he could compete as needed the day of the race. He also talks about the mindset changes and how he started thinking differently in order to make that happen. • Mark shares with us how he sees similarities between the world of business and the world of Ironman competitions. • Mark and Pat share their mindset on what “take it to completion” means for each of them, and how they able to take the focus away from the results and focus on the input. Lots of good conversation there about how Pat has taken some of the things he's learned from Mark and applied them to the world of business. • Pat discusses how he helped Mark get better known in the speaking world, within the financial services industry particularly, and how they really formed a great relationship over the last 10 plus years. • Mark talks about the challenge of what it was like to win his first Ironman, and how the rivalry he had with Dave Scott helped both of them get better and break world records as they were pushing each other to grow. He expresses that he genuinely wanted Dave to have a great race. • Mark talks about how he realized he never wanted Dave, or someone he was racing against, to have a bad day because he wanted to beat him on his best day. Mark shares about the final Ironman that he won, where he needed to catch up with a 24-year-old , he was 37 at the time. No one had ever won one at age 37, and he told himself he was going to have to have his best race. It is a great conversation between Mark and Pat about this idea of there is no guarantee you're going to get the reward; the only guarantee is the only thing we control is the work we put into it. • There also is a great discussion about the champion’s mindset and a conversation about how Mark learned to quiet his mind using the spiritual teachings of Shaman Brant Secunda. Together, they wrote “Fit Soul Fit Body” and are hosting a seminar in April in Stockbridge, MA.

A few years ago when I first started with Heart Rate Monitor training, I found out that 6 time Hawaii Ironman World Champion Mark Allen was able to run a 5:20 min mile pace aerobic, at a heart rate of only 155 beats per minute. This blew my mind and inspired me to change my approach to training and racing in the years to come. Mark Allen has worked very close with Dr. Phil Maffetone, one of my other favorite authors and coaches. I really look up to Mark’s accomplishments with 66 career victories in 96 starts, he is arguably the most successful triathlete in the history of the sport. He was voted “The Greatest Endurance Athlete of All Time” in a worldwide poll by ESPN. I’m always very curious how top performers approach training and racing, especially if it’s in line with my own approach of training smarter, not harder, training with a heart rate monitor, improving your aerobic base and your fat burning abilities, working on the connection between your body and your mind, and much more. Recently I sat down with Mark to dive into a variety of these subjects: • Mark’s first introduction to heart rate monitor training [2:12] • Seeing progression to a faster aerobic pace [3:00] • What is a fit soul is and how can athletes work on this? [5:49] • There is no perfect race, but you can race perfectly [10:40] • How to stay motivated to keep trying to win Ironman Hawaii after 6 defeats [11:40] • The battle to win first Ironman Hawaii in 1989 [13:24] • The ability to quiet your mind [18:25] • Switch in training from always hard to heart rate monitor [21:10] • Developing your fat burning aerobic engine [22:45] • Speedwork for different types of athletes [25:56] + [30:20] • Recommendations for strength training [28:06] • How to best spread workouts during your week?  [32:45] • Mark Allen Coaching Programs [35:32] • Fit Soul Fit Body book and workshops [37:30] • Art of Competition book [38:00] • Advice for athletes looking to improve their performance [39:47] Links • Video of Mark Allen’s first win at Ironman Triathlon World Champion • Mark Allen Coaching • Fit Soul Fit Body, the book and seminars • Art of Competition, the book  • Calculating your Maximum Aerobic Heart Rate Related Posts: • Interview with Phil Maffetone about HRM training, nutrition and recovery • Training for my first 100 mile run from Long Beach to San Diego • Running a Sub 3 Hour marathon with a Go Pro See Full Video Transcript Here Subscribe for the latest episodes and exclusive content Win Free Stuff Here

Eight Ways to Pick Up the Pace of Weight Loss by Brant Secunda and Mark Allen Based on their bestseller, "Fit Soul, Fit Body" According to the Mayo Clinic, after some initial weight loss, most of us will hit a plateau unless we change a few behaviors--for instance, by eating less and exercising more. This is because our metabolism--the process of burning calories for energy--slows as we lose muscle. We burn fewer calories than we did at our heavier weight even doing the same activities. Our weight-loss efforts result in a new equilibrium with our now-slower metabolism. Here are eight changes you can make to your routine that will help you pick up the pace of weight loss so you can reach your long-term goal more quickly. www.fitsoul-fitbody.com

“Fitness” needs a makeover. It’s not about the size of your muscles, how fast you can run, or how much you weigh. There are plenty of physically fit people who are unhappy, eternally pessimistic, and drained of spirit. True fitness starts with emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Secunda spent 12 years living among the exceptionally healthy and happy Huichol people of Mexico, apprenticing with their legendary shaman. From them, he learned what scientists are just now confirming: that disconnection with our outer environment can make us sick -- and connection with nature can heal us. Now he and Allen, a 6-time world Ironman champion, show others how to draw strength, focus, and energy from nature -- and use their techniques to transform negative emotions that deplete health and energy. Secunda and Allen can share 7 ways to boost your mood by connecting to nature, and can discuss: Why people who live close to nature suffer from less depression. How to transform loneliness, depression, and anger using nature-based techniques. How to draw energy from the earth when you're fatigued or depleted .Shaman-healer Brant Secunda and world champion Ironman Mark Allen teach seminars worldwide on fitness, health, and well-being. Their new book, based on the approach they developed, is Fit Soul, Fit Body: 9 Keys to Healthier, Happier You

Mark and I go way back to our days on the professional triathlon circuit where Mark was the greatest triathlete on the planet and an absolute master of one of the most difficult and grueling sports imaginable. Mark had an evolved approach that was based on intuition, leading a balanced lifestyle, and competing with tremendous focus and intensity. He rocked two nicknames: the first, Zen Master , was for his thoughtful approach and injection of spirituality into the art of triathlon training and competition. His second nickname was Grip , short for “grip of death” which was what happened when you would take a bicycle training ride with him. You had to hold on to your handlebars for dear life because this guy routinely would open up the throttle and keep it open for as long as necessary to break the mightiest of men. Mark also knew how to disappear from the high-energy training scene in San Diego or Boulder when he detected his training and recovery energies to be even slightly out of balance. He was one of the earliest athletes to stress the importance of an intuitive and balanced approach rather than a straight-ahead macho approach that is more prevalent in sports involving suffering. Mark has a tremendous amount of raw athletic talent for swimming, biking, and running, but it was his thoughtful approach that set him apart from other big machines on the circuit. That said, it’s important not to sensationalize the zen mastery story too much, which seems to have happened frequently in endurance folklore. Mark did not use voodoo magic and incense meditation to win races. He won because he worked extremely hard, was smart in the way he trained, and pushed himself beyond the normal thresholds of pain that limit humans and into a higher dimension of intense suffering. Personally, I learned a lot from observing how Mark conducted himself as a professional, and how one could alternatively be an absolute beast of a competitor, but also a calm, centered, thoughtfully chill dude when he was off the racecourse. Yes, the complete package of Zen Master and Grip was virtually unbeatable. Mark won all over the world at all distances. He dominated the World Long Course Championships in Nice, France, winning in 10 of 10 visits and regaling the crowd at the awards ceremony by accepting in French. He raced much less than the typical pro on the circuit, but when he showed up, you knew it was going to be a tough race. Alas, Mark’s career was not without disappointment and raw failure. Despite being one of the very top guys since his first pro race in 1982, he was cursed again and again at the sport’s biggest race, the Hawaii Ironman. Six-time champ Dave Scott had his number; Dave had the uncanny ability to peak for Hawaii despite inconsistent results and numerous injuries at other times of those seasons when he won in Hawaii. In Hawaii, Mark’s first six tries involved lots of valiant efforts, podium finishes, big leads and breakdowns, but never victory. Pressure was mounting over his career accordingly, like a golfer anointed “best player never to win a major.” Mark even graced the cover of Kellog’s Ironman cereal but couldn’t close the deal. Alas, the stars aligned for Mark in 1989 where he narrowly beat Dave Scott in the legendary Ironwar—the greatest triathlon competition of all time where these two guys, at the peak of their careers, battled side by side for eight hours, destroyed the course record and beat third place by several miles—literally. Listen to the great show with both Mark Allen and Dave Scott ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/10/15/allenscott/ ) as they reflect on the great battle of 1989 and offer never before told behind the scenes observations about what it’s like to deal with the pressures and expectations at the highest level of professional sports. Mark’s inaugural Hawaii victory launched him into beast mode and he won in his next five tries before retiring on top in 2005, becoming the oldest Hawaii Ironman winner at age 38 and beating his own record time. Today, Mark has a thriving multisport coaching business, hosts Fit Soul Fit Body ( https://www.fitsoul-fitbody.com/about/mark-allen/ ) retreats with spiritual leader Brant Secunda ( http://shamanism.com ) (based on the life lessons of the Huichol Indians), and likes to shred the local surf break near his home in Santa Cruz, CA. You will not find a more thoughtful athlete than Mark, and this show is sure to entertain and inspire. Mark has been on a ton of podcasts talking about his triathlon exploits (including my own Primal Endurance show a few years back), so this show is a little different. Actually it was a syndicated production destined for both the Get Over Yourself podcast as well as Mark’s clever new YouTube program called Shed Talks. Yep, I cruised down to Santa Cruz and went into his shed filled with nine surfboards, a bunch of old-time magazine covers and ironman souvenirs, and a makeshift studio with perfect lighting to record with Mark. You can watch us interview each other on Mark Allen Shed Talks ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLjenorIXXo ) , or enjoy the recording on this podcast. I tried to unplug a bit from the talking point template in order to really help you get to know one of the most amazing and evolved athletes in any sport, ever. *TIMESTAMPS:* It is important to have your own space where you can have good personal experience.

[10:28] Participating in sport teaches valuable lessons that should make your life better.  More than just the competitive sport.

[17:43] Good sleep habits and disconnecting to tech are some of the things Brad focuses on in hopes of an amazing life and longevity in years ahead.  [19:52] Having a morning routine to get your day started is very important. [24:47] Mark talks about the incredible strength of the Huichol people and how he applies it.  [28:13] What have Brad and Mark learned from racing that helps in their current careers? [33:34] Brad explains why podcasting is such a good way to connect with people. [41:46] Brad is going to try to break another Guinness World record.
