Mark Allen, known as "The Grip," is a legendary American triathlete who reigned supreme in the sport during the late 1980s and 1990s. Renowned for his six consecutive Ironman World Championship titles from 1989 to 1995, Allen showcased extraordinary endurance, mental fortitude, and skill across swimming, biking, and running. His 1989 victory, famously dubbed the "Iron War," saw him narrowly defeat his rival Dave Scott in an epic, grueling battle. In addition to his Ironman triumphs, Allen excelled in Olympic-distance triathlons, amassing numerous victories and solidifying his status as one of the sport's all-time greats. His remarkable achievements have earned him places in both the Ironman Hall of Fame and the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame.⚡️Personal Running Coaching ⚡️https://www.relaxedrunning.com/personalrunningcoach

Iron War é o segundo livro escrito por Matt Fitzgerald que pauta um episódio Gregario. O escritor de "How Bad Do You Want It" narra nele o embate épico entre Dave Scott e Mark Allen no Ironman de 1989. Fitzgerald defende a tese - quase unânime - de que está é a maior disputa da história do triathlon.Este podcast é um teste de fogo para Ana Lidia Borba, comentarista de ciclismo nos canais ESPN e no Gregario Radio, que retorna às suas origens e esbanja conteúdo sobre seu esporte original também.Ao falar da rivalidade entre Scott e Allen, ela e Alvaro Pacheco pontuam a própria história do esporte, seu contexto atual e até uma dispensável rivalidade entre ciclistas e triatletas.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Endurance News: The 31 Most Important Races in Triathlon History When people talk about the most important races in triathlon history, they're likely to bring up individual performances: Julie Moss crawling across the finish line in Kona, for example, or the Iron War. Maybe they'll even talk about the time Gwensanity swept the Rio Olympics, or one of the many amazing sprint finishes in tri history (which mostly seem to involve Lionel Sanders these days) Here's what a lack of sleep does to your cycling performance - and how to improve the quality of yours Improving your sleep could provide the single biggest boost to your cycling performance it's possible to make by legal means. Though it was arguably made famous as a “marginal gain” when Team Sky (now Ineos Grenadiers) started carting their own mattresses with them at the Tour de France, sleep may in fact be a maximal gain – it really is that fundamental in building fitness and maintaining health. So how can you make sure you're getting the optimum dose of the most potent legal performance enhancer known to cycling humanity? Nick Littlehales, a sleep coach who has worked with British Cycling to help elite riders understand what happens when we sleep and why it's specifically important for cyclists. “The simple fact is, we should be allocating over 30 per cent of every 24 hours to a defined recovery process,” says Littlehales. “Everything gets repaired when we sleep, which means consistent sleep deprivation diminishes every pillar of human performance, not only muscular and respiratory recovery.” It's while we sleep that most testosterone and human growth hormone is released, more than in any other phase in each 24-hour cycle. Furthermore, the stress hormone cortisol decreases, cells and muscles are repaired, and our heart and cardiovascular system get the chance to rest. There is a lack of hard evidence around sleep and sports performance, but preliminary studies have suggested that sleep deprivation may also be linked with accelerated muscle atrophy when in a calorie deficit. “You need to listen to your body,” Littlehales adds. “Cyclists want to be continually pushing their boundaries and sometimes hours of sleep are perceived as a waste of time. But you need a balance, and you need consistent and sustainable levels of recovery.” What are Continuous Glucose Monitors? Explaining their use, the ban, and Faulkner's DSQ "The fans don't want to see Formula One in bike racing, they want surprises, they want unpredictability," Rogers told Cycling Weekly(opens in new tab). "We feel that putting such powerful information into the hands of younger riders is taking away a skill - deciding when you need to eat and learning about your body [...] It shouldn't be a completely automated process where every decision is being taken by technology." What's New in the 303: Nationwide E-Bike Tax Credit Bill Returns to Congress Leading bike industry advocate PeopleForBikes is asking supporters of the legislation to sign an online petition. The Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment Act first arrived in Congress in 2021. Like most bills that come to America's legislative chambers, it never passed into law. But five politicians and bike industry advocates hope that 2023 will be the year Americans get tax credits for buying electric bicycles, according to a statement from industry advocate PeopleForBikes. For the bill's sponsors, getting more cars off the road is a clear win for reducing reliance on fossil fuels. “Transitioning to a clean energy economy includes changing the way we get around. That means transit, rail, and electric buses, cars, and bikes. Our bill will make it more affordable for working people to buy an e-bike and help get cars off the road,” said Senator Brian Schatz, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. Other bill supporters include Representatives Jimmy Panetta (California), Earl Blumenauer (Oregon), Mike Thompson (California), and Adam Schiff (California). E-bikes parked for a sharing program An office worker takes an e-bike from the bicycle sharing programs that have become common in many cities; (photo/Shutterstock) Bill: $1,500 Credit for E-Bike Purchase The E-BIKE Act hasn't really changed from its 2021 version, according to PeopleForBikes. It proposes a refundable 30% tax credit for purchasing an electric bicycle — up to a $1,500 credit for new bicycles that cost less than $8,000. The credit would be allowed once per individual every three years or twice for a joint-return couple buying two electric bicycles. There's one addition to the 2023 bill, however: income caps. These limits parallel the electric vehicle tax credit caps. That means no tax credit for those with an annual salary of $150,000 for single filers, $225,000 for heads of households, or $300,000 for those filing jointly. The bill also mandates a report from the IRS after two years to understand the distribution of the credit by income tax bracket and adjust for equity in the future, according to PeopleForBikes. An electric bicycle tax credit was included in the House-approved Build Back Better Act in 2021. But legislators cut the provision when negotiations resulted in a new bill called the Inflation Reduction Act. “The IRA is the largest climate policy package in American history, but to quickly and effectively take action on reducing emissions, Congress must consider the E-BIKE Act as an essential and complementary policy,” PeopleForBikes wrote.

Endurance News: PTO Championship and Challenge Daytona; Triathlon Forever Changed? Maybe so Daytona Beach–It’s easy to want to compare the Professional Triathlon Organisation’s Championship (PTO) at Challenge Daytona with IRONMAN’s Kona. You really can’t though. If this were boxing, it’s like watching light and middle weight boxers fight versus heavy weights. One is full of action, flurries, speed and rapid fire punches, the other, a war of strength and stamina and seeing who can withstand the most for the longest. There is room in this world for both. There will be fans of both. But for the pros’ yesterday may have been a game changer. Kona is Kona. It’s a magical kind of place with known foes like heat, the Energy Lab, the winds on the Queen K and the hill on Palani. Daytona, like the backdrop for this race, was about speed and more speed. Like the NASCAR race that put Daytona on the map, these triathletes jockeyed for position all day long. They averaged up to 30 miles per hour on the bike! The road is flat, the only foe is the athlete in front, and the voices in their heads telling them when to make a move or not. For the pros, with their race contained entirely inside the 2.5 mile oval that is one of the most famous racing venues in the world, it was all right in front of them. Lap after lap. 20 times on the bike, four times on the run, and even twice on the swim. Yes, there is a large lake inside the track along with an RV park, smaller tracks and plenty of open space. The whole thing was a made-for-television event. The race was about speed and making moves. In the men’s race, Coloradans Matt Hanson, Rudy Von Berg and Sam Long finished 2nd, 5th and 9th respectively. Both Hanson and Long came from fairly far back after the swim to chase down the leaders and contend for the podium. Hanson had the fastest run of the day with a blistering 5:20/mile pace over the 18k run. While Long made up his deficit mostly on the bike with a fastest bike of the day riding the 80k course in 1:38:24 averaging 30.2 mph! He showed moments of speed on the run trying to catch up and at one point he held second place! Von Berg with a fast swim and bike, ran in contention all day. He and Long battled on the run for a couple of laps creating a buzz in the crowd watching on the jumbo tron—sort of a modern day “Iron War.” Von Berg pushed ahead of Long but slipped back on the last lap finishing just off the podium behind Britain’s George Goodwin, a middle distance specialist and long course veteran Lionel Sanders—who turned in the second fastest bike split and came from far back himself. Other Observations Quote of the Day - Anne Haug - "It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get". New level of professional coverage National Anthem professional Fireworks were awesome Broadcast production Cameras that cover podium spot changes, but also changes much deeper in the field (eg, Lisa Norden pass Holly Lawrence for a 2nd/3rd place change AND Watkinson / Haug pass 14/15 Mixing athlete profile videos during down time Mixing recaps during down time 5 bicyclists killed, 4 injured after truck hits group on 'retirement ride' in Nevada LAS VEGAS – On a highway ride to celebrate a cyclist's retirement, five bicyclists were killed and four others were injured in a crash involving a truck, according to authorities. The Thursday morning crash happened on U.S. 95 south of Boulder City, according to Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Jason Buratczuk. Around 9:40 a.m., a box truck struck a group of about 20 bicyclists. Four men and one woman died at the scene, according to authorities. The box truck remained at the scene for several hours after the collision, as authorities investigated what caused the crash. "It doesn't appear to be impairment," Buratczuk said. "It appears to be a tragic accident." Of the four bicyclists injured, one of the riders was flown to a hospital in a helicopter in critical condition. It appeared the bicyclists were part of an organized ride, Buratczuk said. They had a chase vehicle with them with flashers. The driver of the chase vehicle was injured and transported to a hospital. The driver of the box truck was not injured. U.S. Highway 95 southbound will be closed till about 6 p.m. Thursday, according to Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Illia. What's New in the 303: Michael Stone Colorado Multi Sport (Saturday) and Russ Chandler Full Cycle. https://303cycling.com/executive-director-kate-rau-the-magic-of-the-colorado-high-school-cycling-league/ Kate Rau’s passion for making lives better and helping kids ride through the tunnel of adolescence to becoming adults permeates the core values of the Colorado High School Cycling League. She has been at the forefront of the movement to get more kids on bikes since landing in Colorado to go to college at CU. Starting with her days at SMBA (Singletrack Mountain Bike Adventures) and leading us through the birth of Colorado High School Cycling League, Kate has worked tirelessly to help kids, well, be kids. She works to “reduce the barriers to entry” and to help kids who are overscheduled, feeling contained, and maybe isolated, to feel grounded, and learn to take risk and to experience “the pure wonder of joy while riding a bike.” The Colorado High School Cycling League has grown exponentially in the last few years and now has 80 teams with about 1,800 kids making up four regions in Colorado. There are teams from Wyoming and New Mexico as well. It’s an organization with a broad reach but a narrow focus. It takes a dedicated staff, coaches and countless volunteers to make it happen. It also takes critical partnerships from corporate sponsors who help fund and facilitate bringing it all together. Kate strives to provide value to all involved with a keen eye to always remembering the goals that Kate says is, “helping kids feel good about themselves, bringing families together, and connecting the communities that support those values. We want to teach kids about land stewardship and the environment and make sure we do all we can to be inclusive. Everybody scores, nobody is benched.” 303 Endurance was honored to have been chosen as partner of the year which came with some wonderful swag from sponsors: Optic Nerve, Osprey, Primal, Feedback, Yeti and Squirtlube. it has been our honor to help bring more awareness to this valuable part of the community we serve.

While Long made up his deficit mostly on the bike with a fastest bike of the day riding the 80k course in 1:38:24 averaging 30.2 mph! He showed moments of speed on the run trying to catch up and at one point he held second place! Von Berg with a fast swim and bike, ran in contention all day. He and Long battled on the run for a couple of laps creating a buzz in the crowd watching on the jumbo tron—sort of a modern day “Iron War.” Von Berg pushed ahead of Long but slipped back on the last lap finishing just off the podium behind Britain’s George Goodwin, a middle distance specialist and long course veteran Lionel Sanders—who turned in the second fastest bike split and came from far back himself.

The Thursday morning crash happened on U.S. 95 south of Boulder City, according to Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Jason Buratczuk. Around 9:40 a.m., a box truck struck a group of about 20 bicyclists. Four men and one woman died at the scene, according to authorities. The box truck remained at the scene for several hours after the collision, as authorities investigated what caused the crash. "It doesn't appear to be impairment," Buratczuk said. "It appears to be a tragic accident." Of the four bicyclists injured, one of the riders was flown to a hospital in a helicopter in critical condition. It appeared the bicyclists were part of an organized ride, Buratczuk said. They had a chase vehicle with them with flashers. The driver of the chase vehicle was injured and transported to a hospital. The driver of the box truck was not injured. U.S. Highway 95 southbound will be closed till about 6 p.m. Thursday, according to Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Illia. What's New in the 303: Michael Stone Colorado Multi Sport (Saturday) and Russ Chandler Full Cycle. https://303cycling.com/executive-director-kate-rau-the-magic-of-the-colorado-high-school-cycling-league/ Kate Rau’s passion for making lives better and helping kids ride through the tunnel of adolescence to becoming adults permeates the core values of the Colorado High School Cycling League. She has been at the forefront of the movement to get more kids on bikes since landing in Colorado to go to college at CU. Starting with her days at SMBA (Singletrack Mountain Bike Adventures) and leading us through the birth of Colorado High School Cycling League, Kate has worked tirelessly to help kids, well, be kids. She works to “reduce the barriers to entry” and to help kids who are overscheduled, feeling contained, and maybe isolated, to feel grounded, and learn to take risk and to experience “the pure wonder of joy while riding a bike.” The Colorado High School Cycling League has grown exponentially in the last few years and now has 80 teams with about 1,800 kids making up four regions in Colorado. There are teams from Wyoming and New Mexico as well. It’s an organization with a broad reach but a narrow focus. It takes a dedicated staff, coaches and countless volunteers to make it happen. It also takes critical partnerships from corporate sponsors who help fund and facilitate bringing it all together. Kate strives to provide value to all involved with a keen eye to always remembering the goals that Kate says is, “helping kids feel good about themselves, bringing families together, and connecting the communities that support those values. We want to teach kids about land stewardship and the environment and make sure we do all we can to be inclusive. Everybody scores, nobody is benched.” 303 Endurance was honored to have been chosen as partner of the year which came with some wonderful swag from sponsors: Optic Nerve, Osprey, Primal, Feedback, Yeti and Squirtlube. it has been our honor to help bring more awareness to this valuable part of the community we serve.

The rich history of the Ironman World Championship is steeped in heroes, legends, and lore. In this episode, the podcast team is joined by TriDot coach and nine-time IMWC finisher Kurt Madden as he discusses the history of the World Championship event. Kurt shares stories of racing in the early days on Oahu and some of his top-ten finishes at Kona. Gain an insider perspective into the Iron War rivalry between Dave Scott and Mark Allen and some of the most memorable finishes from the legendary men and women in the sport.
Dave Scott is a 6x Ironman World Champion and I thought this interview was going to be all about mindset and a winning mentality. What evolved was a completely unexpected conversation about depression. You'll hear: 20:40 "All the way through my 20s and when I was competing, I wrestled with depression and the depression that I had would consume me sometimes. I had many periods when this depression would manifest itself." 31:08 "I thought if I was depressed, that is a huge psychological weakness and there is no way I can race Ironman and win it again. It scared me that I could never dig myself out of it, because really it was just denial." 34:10 Dave offers some advice to stay focussed in a race: "Do what you can do in the moment, be in the present." 42:08 Dave gives his reaction to losing the World Championships in 1989 to Mark Allen, in Iron War. "I was mad! I hated losing that race." 52:48 Dave Scott reveals who he believes to have the best winning mind sets in triathlon and why.

“The Greatest Race Ever Run.” “Iron War.”Those are two of the descriptions of the 1989 Ironman World Championship, a race that changed the face of Ironman Triathlons from being not only an endurance test, but also a true race.The men who created this historical moment are Dave Scott and Mark Allen. 1989 Ironman World ChampionshipThese two triathletes entered the 1989 event well aware of one another’s abilities, but could not possibly have foreseen that this race would pit them literally side by side for over 8 hours. On this podcast, Dave and Mark share with each other and you the physical strains, the mental emotions and the mind-boggling journey of two rivals through a triathlon that made history. It would be 15 subsequent years before the two could talk with one another about this race. If you think the competitiveness dissipates with time, listen closely.This is the story of two of the world’s finest athletes ever, in a race you could not script. Most importantly, this is their story as personally related by the two who ARE the story and the rivals.
This week James caught up with the wife and manager of the 2016 Olympic bronze medallist, Franzel Schoeman (and Henri too). Henri and Franzel recently got married and are a powerhouse team both inside and outside of triathlon. Henri has had an amazing career of short course racing and recently made his 70.3 debut with Franzel there to make sure he performs at his best along the way. We also discuss the recent IMVR, Sanders dropping invisibility boosts to beat cyclists on Zwift and look at the 1989 Iron War as this week's classic race. Remember, we are offering two free months with MX Endurance!

Merging the old and the new, this week we look at Ironman VR1 as the online racing platform launches in earnest whilst also looking backwards to 1987 in the first of our book club reviews with the Ironman World Championship that changed everything. Can Mark Allen ever take that final step up and dethrone Dave Scott? James also say down with Joe Skipper to discuss a range of topics, including his much talked about 200 mile ride, Joe had lots to say on a everything from virtual racing to the PTO, so strap in and enjoy.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-428 – Matt Fitzgerald – Training with the Pro’s (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4428.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-428 of the RunRunLive Podcast. So here we are in the apocalypse. How’s everyone doing? These are interesting times. That’s a trick of modern English. Whenever we don’t want to say ‘bad’ we say ‘interesting’ like somehow we are just observers in the soup? Took me until today to get this show out. Not because I don’t have time. Not because I don’t have ideas and content. Not because I have technical issues. No, just lacked basic motivation over the last couple days. Been watching low quality TV, eating poorly, playing some my online zombie game…you know, super adult and productive! It’s ok to take a day or two off but don’t let these doldrums turn into patterns or new habits. Now is a good time to start new habits. An excellent way to kick out of a malaise is to do a fixed program – like a 10-day meditation challenge or a 20-day plank challenge. Or a daily journaling challenge. I’ve kicked off a couple new projects this week. First is I’m reading the Princess Bride into audio for 20-30 minutes every day and posting it on my web site. I figured if I could read to my kids when they were young, I can read to everyone’s kids. You can find the current nine reading sessions on my website under Story Time. I also got asked by some folks to participate in a group story telling event for the Chicago Area Running Association. That’ll be a live Zoom meeting Wednesday night of this week. My work is super busy. My training stepped back to just some easy runs and one crazy HIT workout this week. These HIT – High Intensity Training workouts are something you can do from your house. You can look them up online or just make them up. The basic form is a short sprint followed by some high-intensity exercises. For example; go out your front door and sprint 100M out and back, then do 10 fast pushups, 10 fast crunches, 5 pullups then sprint again, 3 more exercises, sprint – you will be gasping like a fish out of water. Definitely a change in pace for me who’s been doing mostly easy trail runs. The entire world is marching through my woods these days as well. I know they’re bored, but I feel a bit violated. Buddy and I cut those trails 20 years ago. Now I’m shoulder to shoulder with the hoi polloi in my happy place. I have to go out at dawn if I want some peace. Today we have a great interview with old friend and running journalist Matt Fitzgerald who is publishing a new book this month called Running the Dream where he executes all of our adult fantasies and lives and trains as a professional with a professional team for a race. It’s a great read and gets my thumbs up. In section I’ll give you a the results of a Q&A I did on Facebook which may or may not be useful. And is section two a follow-up apocalypse story from the same universe I created last episode. Having fun with this. Maybe this is the book I was looking for? … Had a nice outing with Ollie on Friday night. Coach gave me a day off on Saturday and I was super sore from that HIT workout on Thursday so I figured I could go out late. The day got away from me from the start. The dog woke up early, like 5:30 and after I let him out to pee, I laid down on the couch. Ollie climbed up on the back of the couch and fell asleep sort of sitting on me. Next thing I know it’s 7:30. Missed my 7:00 AM call. Took Ollie for a walk and went to work on the back to back calls and deadlines feeling unmotivated. But, I dropped that 2-hour run on my calendar for 6:30 PM. I didn’t even come close to completing everything that was due or catching up. But, at 6:30 I grabbed my new headlamp and Ollie and headed into the woods. Technically the sun set at 7:00. But, as a trail runner you start to understand the relationship between sunset, weather and having enough light to see. It was a clear and beautiful day. Without cloud cover you get another 30 minutes or so of residual light after the sun sets. Ollie and I set out into the woods. The melt is on now and there’s plenty of mud to deal with. There’s a spot out on the trail about 3 miles out where we run along the edge of the pond. There’s the remnants of a cottage and a break in the bushes where their beach used to be. I set my sites on getting to this spot before the sun was totally gone to get a photo. I’ve taken to stopping here and taking the same photo from the same place to mark the passing of the days and seasons. I stand on the same stone and frame the same tree and get the same photo. I wasn’t sure this one would come out. The sun had set 10-15 minutes before. But it came out beautifully. I arrived right at that point when you have to switch the headlamp on. It’s a hauntingly beautiful shot. It’s a shot in the moment. That peaceful glow of a setting sun. That slight ripple from the paddling of unseen ducks in the shadow. The water black and smooth. The tree starkly silhouetted against it all. That moment of peace and beauty was there whether or not the work got done. That beauty was there whether or not the apocalypse raged. That beauty and peace is still there. I just wasn’t looking for it. What are you focused on? Your beauty and peace is still there. Everything else is just made up. Own your focus. On with the show!

Matt Fitzgerald Author of Section two – After the Apocalypse #2 – Outro Well, my friends, another week, another episode and another opportunity. You have run like a pro through the end of yet another RunRunLive Podcast Episode 4-428 done and down. Go get Matt’s book – I think you’ll like it. By the way, shout out and thanks to Carlos the Jackal for doing the edit on this interview. My normal editor Dimitri from Moscow was on holiday. Hope he’s not on a cruise. I’ve started a new hashtag - #longsongsfortheapocalypse – these are all those great 10 minute plus jams that I listen to in the background while I’m writing. You can find them on my facebook feed. Well, I’m still training. My A race in June hasn’t gotten cancelled yet. I was going to cobble this race trip together with a Vancouver vacation with my wife – but she is making noises like there’s no way she’s getting on an airplane with me in June. I haven’t made my travel plans yet. Maybe this will become one of those in-and-out guerilla marathon tries that my races always seem to devolve into. My friend running buddy Frank, yes the drummer for the Nays, is making noises like he might come. He was training for Vermont and that got pushed. It’s going to be a full fall with all the races moving. It will be interesting. You’ll have twice as many races with the same number of runners. This may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for a lot of races. We’ll see some consolidation. We’ll see that same consolidation and aggregation across industries. The small and fragile will get washed out and the big and strong will invest and get bigger. It’s the cycle of life, I guess. The thing is this type of forest clearing creates the next wave of growth. When businesses see a contraction like this it creates thousands of entrepreneurs for the next cycle. Ollie is being Ollie. He’s a nut. He’s so strong. We’re working it out. He’s been good interacting with all the new people on the trails. He doesn’t attack them. He immediately defaults to submissive with other dogs. That’s good because I don’t’ think I have the upper body strength to run with him on leash all the time. Sorry for getting this one out a little late. I appreciate you. I am quite thankful to have you in my life even if it’s a one-way relationship. I’ve had a couple good interactions these last couple weeks that let me know people are out on the other end and that helps, it really does, so thank you. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Let me know if you want to collaborate on a project. Let me know if I’m traveling to your town and you want to grab a coffee. These things are all still there for us. The beauty is still there. The peace is still there. Close your eyes now. Take a deep slow breath through your nose. Inhales kindness and empathy. Exhale through your mouth and give that kindness and empathy back to the universe. Do that a few times. Let yourself relax. We’re going to be ok. Whatever happens, we can handle it. We’ll see you out there. (Outro bumper) Track #6 from Brian Scheff, the Rock Opera by The Nays, She’s a lonely girl, Frank told me last weekend when he, Brian and I were out on a social distance run that all these songs are available on iTunes. So go buy a couple, music will keep you sane in the apocalypse. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Rachel -> Coach Jeff ->

You have run like a pro through the end of yet another RunRunLive Podcast Episode 4-428 done and down. Go get Matt's book – I think you'll like it. By the way, shout out and thanks to Carlos the Jackal for doing the edit on this interview. My normal editor Dimitri from Moscow was on holiday. Hope he's not on a cruise. I've started a new hashtag - #longsongsfortheapocalypse – these are all those great 10 minute plus jams that I listen to in the background while I'm writing. You can find them on my facebook feed. Well, I'm still training. My A race in June hasn't gotten cancelled yet. I was going to cobble this race trip together with a Vancouver vacation with my wife – but she is making noises like there's no way she's getting on an airplane with me in June. I haven't made my travel plans yet. Maybe this will become one of those in-and-out guerilla marathon tries that my races always seem to devolve into. My friend running buddy Frank, yes the drummer for the Nays, is making noises like he might come. He was training for Vermont and that got pushed. It's going to be a full fall with all the races moving. It will be interesting. You'll have twice as many races with the same number of runners. This may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for a lot of races. We'll see some consolidation. We'll see that same consolidation and aggregation across industries. The small and fragile will get washed out and the big and strong will invest and get bigger. It's the cycle of life, I guess. The thing is this type of forest clearing creates the next wave of growth. When businesses see a contraction like this it creates thousands of entrepreneurs for the next cycle. Ollie is being Ollie. He's a nut. He's so strong. We're working it out. He's been good interacting with all the new people on the trails. He doesn't attack them. He immediately defaults to submissive with other dogs. That's good because I don't' think I have the upper body strength to run with him on leash all the time. Sorry for getting this one out a little late. I appreciate you. I am quite thankful to have you in my life even if it's a one-way relationship. I've had a couple good interactions these last couple weeks that let me know people are out on the other end and that helps, it really does, so thank you. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Let me know if you want to collaborate on a project. Let me know if I'm traveling to your town and you want to grab a coffee. These things are all still there for us. The beauty is still there. The peace is still there. Close your eyes now. Take a deep slow breath through your nose. Inhales kindness and empathy. Exhale through your mouth and give that kindness and empathy back to the universe. Do that a few times. Let yourself relax. We're going to be ok. Whatever happens, we can handle it. We'll see you out there. (Outro bumper) Track #6 from Brian Scheff, the Rock Opera by The Nays, She's a lonely girl, Frank told me last weekend when he, Brian and I were out on a social distance run that all these songs are available on iTunes. So go buy a couple, music will keep you sane in the apocalypse. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Rachel -> Coach Jeff ->
In this episode we chat to Mike Reilly, the voice of IRONMAN. Having commentated at over 30 IRONMAN World Championship events, 2020 will see Mike commentate on his 200th IRONMAN. We learn how Mike accidentally began race commentating and how since the 70's he's gone from teaching, retail, sales and author in an ever evolving multi-sport world.We dig a little deeper into the world of race commentary, discuss what it means to be inducted into the IRONMAN Hall of Fame, USA Triathlon hall of fame and the Running USA hall of champions. And best of all we look at the inspiration he gets from all of the IRONMAN athletes who cross that finish line and he offers some great advice for those who might experience a dark place during that special day.
We continue chatting with 6 x IRONMAN World Champion Mark Allen and find out how that famous 1989 race ended. Mark discusses how the mind can have a huge impact on both training and racing and how the lessons of years gone by taught him mental strength and enhanced both his racing and life.We talk about the benefits of fit soul fit body and how Mark is working to enhance not just people's physical training but mental well being too.Mark discusses his training with Heart Rate, Phil Maffetone and the affect this had on his performance and injuries. We also find out why he had the nickname the grip, his principles of training and coaching and Mark offers some great advice to all triathletes out there...
This week we talk to 6 x IRONMAN World Champion Mark Allen. His amazing achievements are so good, we felt we needed to deliver it in 2 parts. Mark was also an Olympic Distance World Champion, inducted into the IRONMAN hall of fame, ITU hall of fame and USA triathlon hall of fame. He still has the record in triathlon history for the most straight wins - 21 and is considered by many to be the greatest endurance athlete of all time.In this first part, we talk about how his first 6 attempts at winning the IRONMAN World Championships didn't go to plan and how and why he continued to strive to become IRONMAN World Champion.We also talk about how that epic 1989 victory was different in so many ways in a race that has been dubbed 'IRON War'. Part 2 of our chat will be out next Thursday...

He rode his bike without a computer. And he rode a new bike, not having had a professional fit and only having ridden it about 500 miles. He had the bike shipped from Nice directly to Chattanooga, only having put a few miles on it the week of the race yesterday. And he also discovered something about his bike that explained his slower than expected time in Nice….

The IRONMAN World Championship is really the cherry on top for me this year and I am considering it more of a "victory lap". I qualified for Kona at IM Boulder this year and then the following week proceeded to start the Leadman race series (5 trail events over 3 months ending with the 100 mile run in Leadville, Colorado back in August). Been a long and busy year so I am excited to just be there in Kona with family and friends supporting. What is your favorite career IRONMAN memory so far Drinking beers on State Street with family/friends the night before qualifying at Wisconsin back in 2013. That and running down Ali'I Drive. So much emotion and feelings in those last couple hundred yards. Is this your first time competing in Kona and if no how many other times have you done so? No. This will be my 2nd time back in Kona, hoping for some redemption this time around. If someone were watching that is new to the sport, what would you tell them is the coolest thing about being a triathlete and competing in this venue. I think there is something to be said about sharing this course (and the day) with the world's best athletes. Coolest thing about this venue...everything you see on TV, the magic and mystique of the island is so true. What do you think is the hardest thing about doing an IRONMAN? Like training for any endurance sport/event, knowing when to hold back to stave off injury and/or burnout. The hardest thing about actually executing the IRONMAN race is pulling everything together (pacing, nutrition, race strategy, etc.). For me, It's HOW you manage those variables and unknowns that are thrown at you on race day that separate you from having a great race to an okay race. Niki Leo What are you most excited about in competing in Kona? I am most excited to experience the legend course, to personally feel the heat, humidity, and winds that are so infamous. I am also excited to see in person, at one time, many of my heroes in the sport. Triathlon is genuinely one of the only sports in the world where you get to compete on the same field of play as the professionals...and do that with all of them is going to be amazing. I am truly excited about just being able to have this opportunity. What is your favorite career Ironman so far? That is a hard one...Louisville 2018 where I qualified will probably always be special because I realized a dream come true. However, my first Ironman--Arizona in 2011--will probably always be my favorite because my love for the sport was all so pure then-- a lesson in ignorance is bliss. The celebratory feeling that I could actually do something like a full Ironman...there is always that doubt...and then you cross that finish line and you cannot believe it...the feeling is so indescribable unless you've done it. It is also the only time I ever felt that way...after finishing the first, knowing you could do it, the others after that were amazing but I knew I could finish because I had before. Is this your first time competing in Kona? Yes. I have always wanted to qualify and came close a couple of times however, in 2018 after my first DNF (ever) in Ironman Boulder--which was supposed to be my 11th IM--I did IM Canada (which turned out to be #11). Destroyed about the DNF at Boulder, I registered for Louisville (12) to get onto the Legacy list. Well...I finished second (missing first by 6 seconds) and qualified! If someone were new to the sport, what would I tell them is the best thing about being a triathlete and competing at this venue? For sure, triathlon has saved me in so many ways...it has given me something to live for and something to always work towards. It has given me the feeling few will ever experience in their lifetime--that feeling of wanting so badly to stop and yet, feeling the most alive I ever feel. It has given me direction when I have been lost--depression, eating disorders, cancer. It has given me determination and grit to endure--pain, injuries (which all have come as result of getting hit by cars...multiple times). It has given me a family and friends that I would not otherwise have in CO since I moved here not knowing anyone. It has given me perspective that I'm human--changing and adapting everyday is required to lead a balanced life. The venue itself will cause you to doubt yourself, to face failure, to determine what your priorities in life are, and it will make you feel more alive than anything else in this world if you dare take yourself there. What do I think is the hardest part of Ironman? The time it takes. The energy it takes at times. The fear you have to overcome to test yourself. And to do it for YOU. That first one is always about YOU...then you "drink the kool aid" and for some reason, it changes. I have a love/hate relationship with Ironman because of this. I think the family and culture it creates can be amazing but I have also seen it destroy people. It can be so intimidating so I think the hardest thing is not to lose yourself and don't lose sight of what Ironman is in your life...that is, it is a hobby/sport you enjoy and unless you are a pro, it does not define you. Endurance News: PTO buying Ironman from Wanda Follow up discussion on the Professional Triathlon Organisation (PTO) have announced that they have approached WANDA with the intent to acquire Ironman and its assets.

Today I have two absolute legends from the sport of triathlon, as Mark Allen and Dave Scott join me to talk about www.1989TheStory.com. 30 years ago 5-time Hawaii Ironman champion Dave Scott lined up on the Kona start line alongside Mark Allen, the heir apparent, for a race that was to be one of the most legendary battles in triathlon history. They swam, cycled, and ran together for 139 miles before Mark made the decisive break. At this point I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, as the race was well documented in the book, The Iron War. However, as the 30th anniversary of this race nears, Mark and Dave have joined together to tell the real story of what happened in the lead up to, and during, that amazing race. In today’s conversation the 3 of us chat about: Were they sworn enemies, or was this just the press making mischief What went through each of their minds at the 1988 race when Dave had to pull out the night before Why both Mark and Dave almost never made it to the start line in 1989 Dave reveals some surprising insights into his own mental health leading up to the 1989 race The surprising race day nutrition strategies of the world’s best Ironman athletes in the 1980’s Why Mark Allen still has the fastest run time in Kona Dave and Mark have only shared part of their story in this interview. I strongly recommend that you hop over to www.1989TheStory.com, a new 10-part series, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of what still is the greatest Ironman battle ever, and where you will be able to read the full and frank discolosure from both Mark and Dave.

A special treat for teenage Lance Armstrong. Mark Allen and Dave Scott join Lance to discuss the 30th anniversary of their epic Iron War battle in 1989 at Kona. Mark and Dave are putting together the story in their words. You can read about it at their new site.
We speak to our regular Healthy For Men contributor Joel Snape about his feature The Library of Action which is out now in the July/August 2018 issue of Healthy For Men magazine. In this bonus episode, Joel speaks of his top 5 health and fitness books to boost brain power and lead you to sporting success. Five books mentioned in this episode: Iron War by Matt Fitzgerald If you don’t know how the 1989 Ironman World Championship ended, buy this(and avoid spoilers), then sprint through it. It’s a brilliant take on training theory, racing science and opposing mental approaches, shot through with the narrative of the greatest race ever run. Exemplary. Never Let Go by Dan John Renowned strength coach Dan John made his name as an all-American discus thrower. Here, he makes hard lifting simple – but not easy – with dozens of workouts, anecdotes and things that you’ll try once, weep, then try again. Front squat Tabatas? No thanks. Assault On Lake Casitas by Brad Alan Lewis A book about rowing in the 1980s doesn’t sound all that fascinating, but the way Lewis made his attack on the Olympics – by being kicked off the ‘official’ team and coming back to beat them – is astonishing. You’ll be back on the Concept2 in no time. Grit by Angela DuckworthTalent? Pfft. What you really need to get ahead is grit, according to author Duckworth. She now insists that her whole family are always doing one ‘hard thing’ to build success’s most important quality, after studying everyone from Navy SEALs to CEOs. Faster by Michael Hutchinson Written by a man who did (almost) everything in the pursuit of speed, this cyclist’s memoir deals with everything from the lactate system to laminar airflow in its discussion of how to improve one skill – and it’s full of motivation for anyone wanting gains in their own life.

School Your Soul || Personal growth | Inspiration | Be your best self | Happiness
Hey guys! Welcome to Episode 17 of The Daily Cordial Today I’m talking to an inspirational friend of mine.. Matt Coulter. Matt is the co-founder and executive director of The Young and Brave Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping today’s youth beat cancer. What an incredible intention, right? It’s an incredible foundation designed to support those, 40 and under, who are battling cancer. I also love that if you donate to a specific warrior 100% of the money goes to the family… it’s amazing. One of the things that inspires me most about Matt is his journey to find meaning in his life. He started his career in a high paying job, completely driven by money and status. I think most of us can relate to the idea of chasing the wrong things… whether it’s Money, Fame, status, (the list goes on and on) and thinking these things are going to bring us that deep fulfillment that we are longing for… “When I have this, or when this happens THEN I will be happy. “ But these things are usually ego driven and insatiable.. so no matter how much money, fame or status we get, it will never be enough. And if you peel back yet another layer, I think ultimately we are just trying to prove to ourselves and others 1. that we’re enough 2. that we matter 3. that we’re special. All of which is actually an inside job and will never be satiated from the external world. So either way we’re set up for failure chasing these things that our society places so much value on.. And this is not to say you can’t want these things but understand, that they will probably not fulfill you in the way that you think they will. Some people go a lifetime unknowingly chasing these things only to reach their goal mystified as to why they don’t feel fulfilled.…and quite the opposite are greeted with empty dissatisfaction. What’s cool about Matt is that he made this discovery about himself early on. In his early 30’s, feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled he quit his high paying job and shifted his purpose to giving back to others - starting “The Young and Brave Foundation” with his best friend, professional surfer Nathanial Curran. And his life has been different ever since. In today’s episode, Matt and I had a really fun and playful conversation and we cover a wide range of topics.. from …discovering your purpose and the value of living in service to others… to sensory deprivation tanks, journaling, sleep & creativity. We also discuss: The moment he realized he wasn’t happy and the changes he made to discover a life with meaning His shift from serving SELF to serving OTHERS.. and how that’s changed his life The link between doing what you love and authenticity How we can all make a difference And much much more.. Matt is a super smart and creative guy and he’s using his skills to help the greater good, which is what it’s all about. Hope you guys enjoy the show.

(Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4343.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-342 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Today we talk with author Matt Fitzgerald, mostly about his new book You may know Matt's name from Runner's World, Competitor and Men's Fitness among other publications. His 2014 book “80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster By Training Slower” made a big splash. Matt and I geek out about the mental aspects of racing to your limits, both physical and psychological. In section one I'm going to report on my lessons learned from the Boston marathon this year. (I must be a slow learner because I keep having to learn some lessons over and over!) In Section two I'm going to give you my takeaways from a book I read on conversation tactics. … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.

The longest day up here in the northern hemisphere where the earth wobbles precariously, catches itself and begins the long, drunken careen back to winter. If you're in the southern hemisphere you can just switch all the words with their opposites. For all the pagan sun worshippers out there you need to build some stone circles and do a little dance. Maybe sacrifice something – like a six pack of lager. If you don't believe the earth is round, well there's no hope for you. If you want to have some fun ask random people basic astronomy questions, like “Does the earth orbit the sun or does the sun orbit the earth?” Or “Name the planets?” Then sit back and be surprised with the answers. It is getting warm up in my neck of the woods. The deer flies are out. I'm adjusting to it as always. For everything there is a season – Turn, Turn, Turn. Mostly I'm just trying to get all my runs in and trying to keep all the balls in the air. I'm doing a lot of trail running and some mountain biking. It's all good. Friday I hit the ski area next to my house and did some reps on my bike up the tubing hill. It's just about right for me to get to max effort at the top without blowing up or falling over. Sunday I did 2 hours in the trails before going to have a father's Day lunch with my Mom and brother. I'm a bit tired today. We had one of those summer thunderstorm fronts role through at 3 in the morning. Thunder and lightning cause Buddy the old wonder dog a lot of personal stress and he needs to share his unhappiness with me. Sometimes he goes and hides in the bath tub. Sometimes we'll open the basement door and let him hide down there. But usually he just wanders the house being miserable like last night. It's summer. What are you going to do? I don't mind running in the heat as long as I'm acclimated and kitted out for it. I love running in a warm summer rain. … I was down in Atlanta last week all week. It was a series of all-hands type meetings where the whole company comes in. I was on stage for some of it. It's a tiring week. There's the travel, the preparation, getting up to get my workouts in, being engaged all day and then socializing at night. I did manage to get enough sleep to execute. I did manage to get some sort of workouts in in the morning. It was super-hot in Atlanta. High 90's with humidity. Even in the morning I was soaked from running outside. I told them the only thing keeping me from bursting into flames was the humidity. We were down near Georgia Tech this time so I got to explore the tech campus on one run – which was fun. I also got to go to a Braves game one night. Matt and I are going to talk a lot about mental training today in the interview. Your mental engagement in the training and racing is as important as the physical engagement. You can't be successful unless you have both. It's that perfect combination of mental engagement and physical capabilities that makes you successful. I think you can draw a parallel to your career. If you hate what you're doing and are not mentally engaged it doesn't matter how good you are at it, you will still struggle. The inverse is true as well. If you are mentally engaged but don't know what you're doing it won't work either. One of the telltale signs that you aren't mentally engaged in what you're doing is whether the doing of it saps your energy or energizes you. If you are fully, mentally bought in to a job you will have inexhaustible energy to pour into it. Doing the work will give you energy. If you're in a position where doing the work exhausts you while you are doing the work then either the work or the people you're working with are not for you. There is a disconnect there. Pay attention and see which way your energy meter runs when you're doing the work. When I was jogging around the Tech campus I was listening to DirtDawg talk about the difference between a job, a career and a calling. One of those differences is in the way your energy flows.

Happy 9-year anniversary! Happy Father's Day. Does everyone have their summer plans? Are you ready? Have you filled your kiddie pool in the backyard up with ice? 4th of July in the States is on a Monday this year. I don't have any plans. I guess I'll have to venture down and see if my Cape house is still standing. Maybe I'll recreate Thoreau's walk up the outer Cape to Provincetown? That might be epic. We're coming into that time where the Europeans take the whole summer off. Work tends to slow down as people head out to vacation. I'll keep it short today because I don't have a lot to say.

It's on Amazon Kindle and also in Audio on Audible. Links in the show notes and on my website. … Coming into last week's trip to Atlanta I had a couple amusing challenges. I was out trail running with Ryan, caught a toe and did the classic tuck and roll to keep from face planting. But when I stopped rolling I was right in the middle of a giant poison ivy patch. I'm super allergic to poison ivy. It was a hot day. We were miles from the trail head. I had to get on a plane later in the day. When we were coming back we passed a garage where I guy was hosing out school buses with a high-pressure water hose. So, we went over and got him to hose me down. It was very refreshing! I scrubbed off as well as I could when I got home before heading for the airport. Then I'm sitting in the airport and a crown comes loose on one of my molars. So here I am, getting ready to go to Atlanta to be on stage and engaged. I'm losing a tooth and there's a good chance I'm going to swell up into a giant, puss-y rash in front of the whole company! Thankfully the bus wash and quick shower were able to mitigate an uncontrolled dermatological explosion. I got a couple itchy bits but nothing compared to what could have been. Dodged a bullet there. My tooth stayed put until Wednesday when I found it in a piece of pizza at lunch, but it didn't hurt and I was able to get it patched up when I got back. See? Things never turn out as bad as we imagine they will! I'll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Today we talk with author Matt Fitzgerald, mostly about his new book You may know Matt’s name from Runner’s World, Competitor and Men’s Fitness among other publications. His 2014 book “80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster By Training Slower” made a big splash. Matt and I geek out about the mental aspects of racing to your limits, both physical and psychological. In section one I’m going to report on my lessons learned from the Boston marathon this year. (I must be a slow learner because I keep having to learn some lessons over and over!) In Section two I’m going to give you my takeaways from a book I read on conversation tactics. … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.

The longest day up here in the northern hemisphere where the earth wobbles precariously, catches itself and begins the long, drunken careen back to winter. If you’re in the southern hemisphere you can just switch all the words with their opposites. For all the pagan sun worshippers out there you need to build some stone circles and do a little dance. Maybe sacrifice something – like a six pack of lager. If you don’t believe the earth is round, well there’s no hope for you. If you want to have some fun ask random people basic astronomy questions, like “Does the earth orbit the sun or does the sun orbit the earth?” Or “Name the planets?” Then sit back and be surprised with the answers. It is getting warm up in my neck of the woods. The deer flies are out. I’m adjusting to it as always. For everything there is a season – Turn, Turn, Turn. Mostly I’m just trying to get all my runs in and trying to keep all the balls in the air. I’m doing a lot of trail running and some mountain biking. It’s all good. Friday I hit the ski area next to my house and did some reps on my bike up the tubing hill. It’s just about right for me to get to max effort at the top without blowing up or falling over. Sunday I did 2 hours in the trails before going to have a father’s Day lunch with my Mom and brother. I’m a bit tired today.

Scott Zagarino is the mastermind behind the “1989TheStory.com” project, a historical account of the greatest triathlon race of all time. In the aftermath of the wonderful interview with protagonists Mark Allen and Dave Scott, I catch up with my old-time triathlon training partner, sponsor, and mentor to reflect not only on the significance of the Mark and Dave story, but how this athletic battle can translate into an assortment of life lessons and peak performance inspiration. Scott was a prominent figure in the triathlon scene for many years in the 80s and 90s. His entrepreneurial spirit ushered the sport into the modern era in many ways. He was the point man for huge sponsorship deals for the Hawaii Ironman, he dreamed up spectator-friendly competition formats and brought unique new events to life, and he was the first person to form a team of professional athletes under one sponsor and connected directly with his charity, Triathletes For Kids. His long career in sports marketing has recently returned him to triathlon for this ambitious multimedia project centered around the 1989 Ironwar. Even if you aren’t a triathlete, I think you will appreciate our discussion of how we can take inspiration from athletes putting everything on the line, dusting themselves off and carrying on after failures, and the need for all of us to pursue our passions and test our limits in daily life. *TIMESTAMPS:* Brad and Scott talk about the life lessons, the metaphors, and the inspiration that you can draw from the Ironman race itself. [04:08] The well known 1989 Iron War with Mark Allen and Dave Scott is historic. [07:23] There was no legacy in triathlon until the late 80s. [10:57] Did Mark’s marathon in 1989 set a record? [12:57] Scott talks about how this even taught us about real human character. [14:59] What was the level of Dave’s career at this point? [17:51] The relationship between these two men evolved over the years. [19:48] A demonstration of real human character is the way Dave Scott took his defeat. [27:56] Some folks are happy with “one and done.” [31:57] Is it mental toughness that carries the athlete above the pack? [35:25] The ability to focus has changed drastically in 30 years. [39:44] Peer pressure can discourage children. [43:14] Zagarino’s message is about building character and helping others. [44:18] Scott talks about becoming a monk. [49:17] There’s no correlation at all between triathlon and health.
