In the past we interviewed Des Linden when her book "Choosing to Run" and doing so opened up options for future book related interviews! Gwendolyn Bound's publicist, Brianna Kusilek, reached out to us back in April but it took us a while to find a time to release a potential episode with her.  Luckily we made room this week and Katelyn interviewed her for the show! Katelyn and Gwendolyn talk about changing perspective on life, growing older, overcoming adversity, golden retrievers, and much more. Gwendolyn's book "Not Too Late" is available for pre-order now or in book stores June 18, 2024.  If we want more attention given to the sport that we love, then we need to support books written about the sport we love!

After the interview, I give a recap of my races at West Virginia and Killington, as well.

Marla Sweeney, Heather Gollnick, Jimmy Binns are going to let you know how they keep doing what they do as they get older, and with their advice, you'll be able to keep competing and having fun actively until your 80s, 90s, maybe even into your 100s. We had the help of Amelia Boone interviewing Marla, and Kevin Gillotti interviewing Heather. Joe: Because they didn't want a 72 or 73 year old? Jimmy Binns: I think a part of it was that they didn't want people thinking that anybody can walk in there and just go through the police academy. Joe: But you would train. Jimmy: Yeah, but I mean, it's a very vigorous and rigorous program. You know, ain't nobody walking in there and completing it, trust me, unless you really are motivated. In this episode, you'll learn: - How to run Spartan Races in your 70s - With competitive age comes wisdom IF you listen to your body - How Jimmy was able to complete the Police Academy at the age of 73 If you want to watch the full episodes: You're Never too old to Run - Marla Sweeney and Amelia Boone ep 185 - https://youtu.be/RY5bcqyHppQ Staying Fit as You Age with Heather Gollnick // Spartan ATHLETE 001 - https://youtu.be/3o45DV6GXTU 74 Year Old Motorcycle Cop Jimmy Binns is Never too Old for a Challenge ep.031 - https://youtu.be/SEyf8H8vVcc SPONSOR This episode of Spartan Up is brought to you by the EXOGEN ultrasound bone healing system.

She coaches for both sports, and has her own team ( Ironedge). She will also be hosting a clinic that she tells us about as well. We discuss training, past races, and the new Spartan series. You don't want to miss this one.

In the race limbo that we are living in these days, cyclists, runners and triathletes are all getting creative about how to stay motivated and engaged in their sport.  This week Bill's Strava-stalking pays off big with the notice of an epic 1 day ride by Clif Pro team cyclist Russell Finsterwald and Kalan Beisel.  We caught up with Russell and Kalan to talk about their 240 mile and 20K of climbing in a single day's ride.  As it turns out, we aren't the only ones Strava-stalking.  I was on my Thursday run with my buddy Aaron Monroe and I started to tell him about these two guys who did a 240 mile single day ride - he replied "you interviewed Kalan Beisel?"  For those of you who live in the front-range of Colorado, you'll find this route absolutely fascinating (and mind boggling).  For those of you not in the area, don't worry, we've got a lot of interesting information that you can apply to your riding or perhaps inspire you do an epic ride where you live! Thanks to last week's guest, 5x Ironman champ and Spartan Pro team member Heather Gollnick.  If you missed it, go back to episode #236 and hear about her crazy high racing volume and learn more about her role as head triathlon coach at Liberty University and IronEdge Coaching.   In Today's Show: Interview with Russell and Kalan Endurance News - Peak Cancelled, USAT Foundation ride with Rocky Harris Announcements: We are now on Spotify Please subscribe to 303 Endurance Sponsor UCAN: UCAN has kicked off our Father's Day Sale - 20% off all powders and bars - see below for the link and please share if you'd like.  Follow UCAN for all the great content too!  Last Tuesday they had a virtual event Tuesday 8pm ET with running legend, Ryan They also had their weekly Zwift Ride.

The “EPIC MINI” Triathlon. Taking place at a central venue located in Fort Collins Colorado, this race packs a punch of fun. Choose a sprint or supersprint distance course to race! Fort Collins boasts some of the best local breweries around, bike friendly paths at every turn (the Spring Creek Trail is next to the run course) and a ton of activities all within minutes of iconic downtown – also known as “Old Town”. Don’t take our word for it – make a weekend out of this event and plan to get a little extra sight seeing done!   Lachlan Morton breaks Everesting record - from Cyclingtips.com Lachlan Morton has set a new Everesting record in an official time of 7 hours, 32 minutes, and 54 seconds.  Morton took the record from pro mountain biker Keegan Swenson, who took it from Phil Gaimon with a time of seven hours, 40 minutes, and five seconds. Morton averaged 254 watts over the effort. His attempt took place on the backside of Rist Canyon, outside Fort Collins, Colorado. Morton completed 42 laps of the climb to reach the height of Mount Everest, 8,848m (29,029 feet). Each climb up took him roughly nine minutes. Endurance News: With dream deferred, Olympic hopefuls to bike across Colorado for charity The postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics was a necessary, but frustrating blow to athletes around the world. But with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to take lives and leave millions jobless, some Americans are using their free time for a good cause.  Nine U.S. Olympic and Paralympic triathlete hopefuls are biking 483 miles across the state of Colorado in just 24 hours to raise money for charity. Named the "Operation CO>COVID," the team is hoping to raise more than $20,000 for the USA Triathlon Foundation COVID-19 Relief Fund and the Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado.  "Instead of racing in Tokyo, we will be racing the sun to finish our ride before sundown and raising money to give back to the community for COVID-19 relief," triathlete and paralympic hopeful Melissa Stockwell said. "It's really just us wanting to give back. Just to help out a community that we're really passionate about."  The relay challenge will take place June 19, starting on the Utah-Colorado border heading east across the Rockies before ending in Kansas. The team will bike in groups of three, taking shifts while gaining a grueling 23,000 feet in elevation. Team USA did the math-- the bikers must maintain a average speed of 21 miles per hour to cross the state before a full day is up. Athletes will be divided into three teams of three, with each person covering up to four different segments ranging from 3-15 miles at a time. The first riders will begin cycling from the Utah-Colorado state line in the evening (exact time TBD) on Friday, June 19, with a goal to be at the Colorado-Kansas state line 24 hours later on Saturday, June 20. Toyota support vehicles will transport the rest of the athletes and their gear along the route, stopping to swap riders after each segment. The athletes must collectively maintain an average of 21 miles per hour in order to successfully cross the state within 24 hours. The participating athletes include: Kyle Coon, Tokyo Paralympic Hopeful Hailey Danz, Rio 2016 Paralympic Silver Medalist and Tokyo Paralympic Hopeful Kendall Gretsch, PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Gold Medalist and Tokyo Paralympic Hopeful Kevin McDowell, Tokyo Olympic Hopeful Jack O'Neil, U.S. Paratriathlon Junior Development Team Member Allysa Seely, Rio 2016 Paralympic Gold Medalist and Tokyo Paralympic Hopeful Melissa Stockwell, Rio 2016 Paralympic Bronze Medalist and Tokyo Paralympic Hopeful, Team Toyota Athlete Renée Tomlin, Tokyo Olympic Hopeful Alex Libin, Elite Triathlete and Guide for Kyle Coon Rocky Harris, USA Triathlon Chief Executive Officer Video of the Week: 2019 USA Cycling Russell Finsterwald Marathon National Champion   Upcoming Interviews: Rocky Harris, CEO of USA Triathlon, will join us to talk about the bike across Colorado and updates on USAT. Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us on social media including @303endurance and @triathlon 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!

I do remember seeing video of Heather doing a cartwheel We didn't get into it but I read an interview with Heather where she talks about her daughter [Jordon], born with cerebral palsy, and was told by doctors that she would would never walk. She walks with a cane now.  I also read that in her first Ironman in Madison WI she didn't think she could even start the run.  She saw Jordon and it hit her that Jordon would want that opportunity to run, so Heather ran for her daughter.  She said "I think of Jordan every time I'm in a race and I want to stop or slow down.''   Sponsor VENGA: Thanks to Jay O'Hare at VENGA for the introduction to Heather.  We didn’t discuss VENGA as much as I was hoping to.  We've both been trying the Ultra Gels and the Recovery Balm.  There big thing is the Nano Emulsion Technology which makes it water soluble, getting up to 5x CBD in your Blood Stream.  It's 100% THC-Free, Works Fast and the Ultra Gels make sure you get a Precise dose.  Great reducing inflammation and helping you get great sleep.   “Venga!” is a Spanish for “Come on! go!

The route travels from the Western Slope up into the Rocky Mountains, cresting Monarch Pass at 11,312 feet of elevation before descending into the Front Range via Colorado Springs and into the Eastern Plains.   A local news station in Colorado Springs put together this quick segment yesterday: https://www.kktv.com/content/sports/With-dream-deferred-Olympic-hopefuls-to-bike-across-Colorado-for-charity-571111931.html.

I do remember seeing video of Heather doing a cartwheel We didn't get into it but I read an interview with Heather where she talks about her daughter [Jordon], born with cerebral palsy, and was told by doctors that she would would never walk. She walks with a cane now.  I also read that in her first Ironman in Madison WI she didn't think she could even start the run.  She saw Jordon and it hit her that Jordon would want that opportunity to run, so Heather ran for her daughter.  She said "I think of Jordan every time I'm in a race and I want to stop or slow down.''   Sponsor VENGA: Thanks to Jay O'Hare at VENGA for the introduction to Heather.  We didn’t discuss VENGA as much as I was hoping to.  We've both been trying the Ultra Gels and the Recovery Balm.  There big thing is the Nano Emulsion Technology which makes it water soluble, getting up to 5x CBD in your Blood Stream.  It's 100% THC-Free, Works Fast and the Ultra Gels make sure you get a Precise dose.  Great reducing inflammation and helping you get great sleep.   “Venga!” is a Spanish for “Come on! go!
