Zach sits down with Jim and Kelly, married 30 years, while Jim trains for the Ironman World Championship in Kona and works through his 25th round of chemotherapy. Jim was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April 2024. Rather than pulling back, he set a goal: arrive alive in Kona, finish under 17 hours, promote a book he wrote during treatment, and raise $100,000 for the Ironman Foundation. Zach wants to know how a marriage holds two massive commitments, endurance racing and cancer, without one crowding out the other.The conversation moves through how Jim and Kelly built their life around his training long before the diagnosis, how Kelly's own history (her father died suddenly of a heart attack in the family kitchen) shaped what she wanted from illness and from goodbye, and how Jim reframed a terminal diagnosis into a reason to get up in the morning instead of a reason to despair. Jim lays out a "clean slate" philosophy for resolving conflict, and a theory that couples fall deeply in love early on but only fall widely in love over years, building a base wide enough that nothing can knock it over. Kelly talks about the independence they each brought into the marriage and why that, not merging into one identity, is what makes it work.What lands hardest is Jim's line that cancer can take his body, but not his heart, his mind, or his soul. It is not denial. It is a couple who decided, together, what they were willing to hand over and what they were not. Listeners get a clear-eyed look at what it takes to keep a marriage, and a life, moving forward on your own terms after the ground shifts under you.Key TakeawaysOptimism is not a fixed trait. Jim calls it a muscle you have to work daily, like discipline.A terminal diagnosis does not have to mean the end of ambition. Jim's mindset shifted from "why do Ironman" being about the finish line to being about the start line, then about the 400 training sessions nobody sees.Complacency, not conflict, is what erodes a long marriage. Jim names it as the mistake he made over 30 years: not doing or saying the things he once did.The "clean slate" rule: resolve an issue, then let it go completely. No revisiting it a month later.Deep love happens fast. Wide love, the kind that can't be knocked over, only comes from years of showing up.Keeping life normal matters more than most people expect. Jim's oncologist told him and Kelly to resist letting cancer change how people treat him.Independence inside a marriage is not a threat to it. Jim and Kelly both came in with established businesses and identities, and neither has ever told the other "you can't."Forgiving and forgetting are two different acts. Jim says you have to do both, or the resentment eventually surfaces.Guest InfoJim: Endurance athlete and Ironman triathlete for roughly 30 years, retired home inspector (30 years, about 15,000 inspections). Diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer in April 2024. Author of Just Keep Tri-ing, written during treatment, with profits going to the Ironman Foundation toward a $100,000 fundraising goal (about $25,000 raised at the time of recording). Training to compete in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, on October 10, 2026. Kelly: Jim's wife of 30 years. Works in real estate at a high level and previously served as a compliance officer for the State of Georgia, managing 85 agents.Links:Just Keep TRI-ING https://amzn.to/3RihdZ4https://www.instagram.com/stage42025/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Jim Logan was 59 years old, extremely fit, and had no symptoms when he was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer.The doctors gave him six months to two years.He spent the first six months preparing to die.Closed his bank accounts.Shut down his home inspection business of 30 years.Got his family ready.Then treatment started shrinking his tumors. Surgery became possible. And Jim made a different decision.He started preparing to live.Since then he's been through 24 rounds of chemo, radiation, and multiple major surgeries — including removal of most of his liver, his colon, his rectum, and his gallbladder.He now trains and competes while living with an ostomy. He's been declared cancer-free twice. And he's still on chemo.He's also training for the Ironman World Championship in Kona!I've talked to a lot of people about resilience on this podcast.Most of the conversations end up in the same place — some version of "mindset matters" or "just keep going." Jim doesn't talk like that.He's specific. He has a framework he actually uses: Discipline, Sacrifice, Suffering, Pain. He talks about the pain you choose preparing you for the pain you don't.And he said something in this conversation that I keep thinking about — "everyone is terminal. I just found out sooner."The other thing that stuck with me is how much he talks about training as identity, not motivation.He didn't keep swimming, biking, and running through chemo because he was motivated to. He kept doing it because that's who he is.The diagnosis didn't change that. If anything, it made him lean into it harder.We got into:Why Jim kept training through chemo ("cancer may kill me, but swimming won't")The six months he spent planning to die, and what changedWhy he calls cancer both the worst and the best thing that's ever happened to himHis D.S.S.P. philosophy — Discipline, Sacrifice, Suffering, PainWhy the pain you choose prepares you for the pain you don'tWhy "everyone is terminal" isn't dark, it's clarifyingWhat good coaches actually do (it's not "push harder")Zone 2 cardio, why beginners train too hard, and what actually builds enduranceWhy happiness lives inside pursuit, not at the end of itJim wrote a book called Just Keep Tri-ing. He's also raising money for cancer charities through his Ironman training.Links to both are below.Find Jim on Instagram: @stage42025His book on Amazon: Just Keep Tri-ingIronman fundraising page: Donate hereFacebook fundraising page: Donate here
Du kannst einen Ironman nicht „wollen“ und dann irgendwie durchziehen, du musst ihn planbar machen. Genau darüber sprechen wir: Warum so viele Athleten im Ironman-Training scheitern, obwohl sie motiviert sind und warum am Ende nicht der perfekte Plan gewinnt, sondern Routinen, Standards und ein Alltag, der Training und Regeneration wirklich trägt. Ich bringe dabei Erfahrung aus neun Ironmans und aus dem Coaching vieler Athleten ein, inklusive mehrfacher Amateur-Titel und Hawaii-Qualis, ohne den Blick für die Wissenschaft zu verlieren. Wir gehen zuerst ins Fundament: Welche Trainingsumfänge für viele Amateure realistisch sind, warum 10 bis 12 Stunden pro Woche oft reichen und weshalb wilde Peaks dich eher krank und verletzt machen. Danach sortieren wir die Phasen sauber: Base-Phase mit Analyse, Trainingszonen und ehrlicher Schwächenarbeit, dann Build- und Peak-Phase mit Ökonomisierung und Einheiten unter Ermüdung. VO2max spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle, und wir erklären, warum Radfahren häufig der effizienteste Hebel ist und wie Krafttraining gerade für Athleten über 30 oder 35 deine Stabilität und Performance schützt. Zum Schluss wird es renntagsrelevant: Fueling als Performancefaktor mit klaren Richtwerten für Kohlenhydrate pro Stunde, der Unterschied zwischen flüssiger und fester Nahrung und warum du das im Training proben musst. Außerdem sprechen wir über Mindset und Pacing: weniger Selbstzerstörung, mehr Zusammenarbeit mit dem Körper, Stress runterregeln und im Rennen klug bleiben, wenn es hinten raus hart wird.

If you have plantar fasciitis and you're trying to keep running, you've probably been told to stretch, rest, or stop running altogether. But what if the solution is much simpler? In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler explains the one simple trick he personally used to fix his plantar fasciitis while training for Ironman races—without stopping running. This episode breaks down how small biomechanical changes can dramatically reduce stress on the plantar fascia and allow healing while maintaining fitness. In this episode, you'll learn: • What the plantar fascia actually does • Why plantar fasciitis develops in runners • How road slope changes stress on your foot • The simple adjustment that reduced strain instantly • Why small changes can make a big difference in healing • When this trick will work—and when it won't

What happens when your passion for building collides with a market that won't sit still? We dive straight into that crossroads—balancing a love for real estate and entrepreneurship with the realities of higher insurance, stubborn taxes, softening rents, and even a surprise sewer moratorium that freezes permits in a prime Maryland corridor. Along the way, we lean on the same mindset we use to train for 70.3 races: clear goals, steady inputs, and a willingness to pivot when conditions change.Underneath it all is a conversation about freedom numbers and lifestyle creep. We're honest about what it really takes to feel secure, why health goals keep our discipline sharp, and how to pick strategies that fit your risk and season of life. If you're weighing whether to buy, build, or borrow, this one gives you a practical framework and the trade-offs we're making ourselves.
Sometimes it's best to go back to the basics and re-think what you might already know. Or answer the questions that a lot of people think about but are afraid to ask. Today, we drove the podcast by asking AI what are the most frequent questions asked about Ironman Training. We get into proper volume, plan structure, longest runs and rides, taper, Zone 2, burnout and overtraining, and how to avoid injuries. Success in Ironman rarely happens without a great understanding of this basic principles. Open your mind and come into it fresh. Come join us at one of our awesome Camps: Nashville, May 13-17 - https://runsignup.com/Race/TN/Nashville/2026Camp Madison, Wisconsin, July 30-Aug 2 - https://c26triathlon.com/camps/triathlon-camp-wisconsin-2026/ Topics: AI dating and restaurants How many hours per week is a realistic training volume for a full Ironman? Your peak period should be what you earned 6 hour easy rides are actually intense for most people What does a properly structured 6-month or 9-month Ironman training plan look like? How long should my longest run and longest ride be before the race? What is the optimal Ironman taper, and how many weeks should it last? How important is heart rate Zone 2 training for building long-course endurance? How do I avoid injury from the high volume of training? How should I balance the three disciplines to prevent burnout or overtraining? How good is your ability to shed fatigue? Life stress affects your taper The taper responsibility is mostly on athletes The taper is an Art The "D" word High volume should be volume you "can handle" Stacking volume in manageable ways Is stretching creating injuries? Burnout is mental Fatigue is physical End today's workout looking forward to tomorrow. Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Denmark-based coach and hybrid athlete Andreas Stobberup to talk about bridging serious strength training with high-level endurance performance. Andreas shares his journey from peaking around 250 lbs with a 405 bench and 600+ squat to dropping to 205 and completing a full Ironman in 9:52—while continuing to coach athletes across disciplines. We discuss the reality gap between amateur and elite performance, how influencer culture often strips context from training advice, and why fundamentals still win: training, nutrition, sleep, and measurable outputs. We break down common misunderstandings around Zone 2 training, why pros don't train the way social media says they do, and how strength athletes can intelligently add conditioning without compromising lifting. We also cover VO₂ max development, microdosing cardio, output-based tracking (times, power, lactate), and how to think about HRV and wearable data in context. If you're interested in hybrid training, improving conditioning without sacrificing muscle, or understanding how to measure what actually matters, this one is packed with practical insight.
