What do you think about me doing a full marathon as a build up to the IRONMAN? That's awesome—you're gearing up for one of the most demanding endurance events out there! Preparing for a full-distance IRONMAN (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) requires a smart balance of volume, intensity, and recovery. Your question about whether a full marathon is necessary or ideal is a great one, and it really depends on your goals and current training status. Is a Full Marathon Necessary for IRONMAN Prep? While many athletes include a marathon in their build-up, it's not always the most effective or safest choice. Here's why:   Pros of Running a Marathon Before IRONMAN: - Mental confidence boost from completing the distance. - Opportunity to test nutrition, pacing, and gear. - Simulates the fatigue and mental grind of the IRONMAN run.   Cons: - High injury risk due to the pounding and recovery time required. - Doesn't replicate IRONMAN fatigue (you'll be running after 6–8 hours of swimming and biking). - Can disrupt your training cycle due to the taper and recovery needed.   Viable Alternatives to a Marathon Here are some smart substitutes that can build endurance and race readiness without the downsides of a standalone marathon: 1. **Century Ride (100-mile bike)** - **Pros**: Low-impact, builds aerobic base, simulates IRONMAN bike leg. - **Use it for**: Nutrition testing, pacing, and mental endurance. - **Pair it with**: A short brick run (e.g., 6–10 miles) to simulate race fatigue.   2. **Long Swim Events (e.g., 5K–10K open water)** - **Pros**: Builds swim confidence, improves pacing and sighting. - **Use it for**: Practicing open water skills and wetsuit comfort. - **Pair it with**: A bike ride or short run for a swim-bike brick.   3. **Race Simulation Bricks** - **Example**: 80-mile bike + 13-mile run. - **Pros**: Mimics IRONMAN fatigue better than a standalone marathon. - **Use it for**: Testing gear, nutrition, and pacing under fatigue.   4. **Back-to-Back Long Runs** - **Example**: 12 miles Saturday + 10 miles Sunday. - **Pros**: Builds run durability with less injury risk than a marathon. - **Use it for**: Building cumulative fatigue without a single long effort. Coach's Summary Recommendation Unless you're chasing a marathon PR or need the mental boost, **skip the standalone marathon**. Instead, focus on **race-specific brick workouts**, **long rides**, and **progressive long runs**. These will better prepare you for the unique demands of IRONMAN day.

Listeners, did you know that most podcasts don't make it past their third episode? While some podcasts have hundreds or even thousands of episodes, a large number of podcasts are abandoned early. A significant percentage of podcasts (90%) will not make it past their third episode, and another 90% of those that do will quit before reaching 20 episodes, according to Riverside FM.

Rich's dedication to endurance sports, coaching, and the endurance community has not only shaped this podcast but also the lives of countless people around the world.

TriDot Workout of the Week: Bike-Run Bricks Today's workout is Bike-Run Bricks. Session Note This session is best done on a trainer.

Visualize finish chute! Hydrate during recovery between brick sets. Balance of time in Zone 2. Fun Segment: IRONMAN or IRONmad? Alright, we covered a great question in our Ask A Coach segment—should you run a full marathon during your IRONMAN build? That got me thinking about all the wild decisions athletes make leading up to race day. So welcome to a new segment I'm calling Ironman or Ironmad? Here's how it works: I'll throw out some scenarios—real ones we've seen or heard—and we'll give our take. Are they solid strategies… or are we veering into madness? Scenario 1: “You decide to do a heat adaptation block for your IRONMAN—by sitting in a dry sauna in a full bike kit every day for a week.” Scenario 2: “You ride your longest bike session—112 miles—indoors on the trainer because you want to control nutrition, effort, and minimize interruptions.” Scenario 3: “You sign up for a local sprint tri just to ‘shake off the rust'… but end up racing it full throttle two weeks out from your IRONMAN.” Scenario 4: “You tape motivational quotes inside your helmet, on your bike stem, and under your water bottle to read mid-race.” Scenario 5: “You fly to your race 48 hours before the gun goes off, figuring you'll ‘sleep on the plane' and save money on hotel nights.” Bonus Scenario! Scenario 6: “You wear your brand-new race kit, race shoes, and nutrition mix for the very first time… on race day.” Race day success isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters. So when you're making decisions in your IRONMAN prep, ask yourself: Is this building toward the race… or just feeding my ego? And if you've got a questionable training story or race-week decision you want to share, send it our way. We might feature it in the next Ironman or Ironmad?   Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

Welcome back to Going Long on First. The calendar month has turned to July, and we are just a few weeks away from training camp beginning and the start of the 2025 NFL season. We thought this would be a great time to begin our division-by-division preview series, and we begin with the AFC North. The Ravens are defending divisional champions and one of the best teams in the league; The Steelers have made drastic changes this off-season, including signing Aaron Rodgers, trading for DK Metcalf, and most recently, the blockbuster trade of Jalen Ramsey for Minkah Fitzpatrick, will that be enough to overtake the Ravens. We give our divisional predictions, and of course, our top 5 (A and B) players within the division. The pod wouldn't be complete without a little trivia at the end. Enjoy! Minkah/Jalen Trade: (00:02:00) AFC North Preview: (00:15:00)Top 5: (00:30:00)Trivia: (1:10:00) As always, thanks for listening and supporting. Adios!
