We catch up with our favorite example of an athlete who on the racecourse is different than the person off the race course - Mary Beth Ellis, The Honey Badger. We reminisce on the glory days of racing, the transition into retirement from professional racing and motherhood. When asked if she should have ever apologized to anyone post-race, she aptly answered, “I probably should have” and that’s exactly why we love her. We rate the spicy attitude of MBE, self-professed asshole on the race course. She truly doesn’t give a shit, and we kind of love it. MBE is one of those athletes who became a close friend over the years, so much so, that we were roomies in Kona and Denmark, and back in 2016/17, we spent New Years Eve together. Great catching up again friend - miss you! Quotes highlights include: “I definitely was an asshole on the racecourse. You get so myopic on the racecourse and the manners are out the window.” “There wasn’t the same fire that I had earlier in my career.” “Everyone has been so starved of that, it makes you appreciate being able to be with friends and family again." “Before the internet, you’d have to read the magazines, but now it’s easier to speak directly to your fans.” “In hindsight, I would have changed some things I did training wise, but really I wouldn’t change anything." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * EAT FOR YOU GIVE A BIT PROGRAM - code WITSUP10 eatforyou.com.au/ Use the code WITSUP10 at checkout for a 10% discount.

Welcome This is the New Year's Eve special and we have and we are closing out the year with a return guest, elite triathlon coach Jim Vance to talk about his book Triathlon 2.0.  We'll get into the interview setup in just a few. Welcome to Episode #106 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals.  I'm your host Rich Soares and I'm glad you are joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.  Bill is with family this week and Khem is in Nepal and on excursion to Everest base camp and can't wait to hear about her adventures.

Discussion Teasers After the interview I'll have some thoughts on the interview with Jim Vance, his book Triathlon 2.0, considerations for the self-coached athlete, and an offer to those who want to take their training to the next level or feel like they could use the partnership of a coach this season. I also have some reflections on some of the show highlights this year and some of the interviews that were particularly memorable and informational. Last, I have a funny Christmas triathlon gift story and a ask to see if any of you have good triathlon or gear Christmas stories that you would share. That's it for the teasers, let's go to the interview. Interview Setup Jim Vance is an elite endurance sports coach, author, and sport technology and training consultant based in San Diego, California. He is the personal coach 2016 US Olympic triathlete Ben Kanute, guiding him to 2017 performances of victory at Escape from Alcatraz and Island House Triathlon, as well as a 2nd place finish at the 70.3 World Championships. Triathlon 2.0 is an extremely useful book if you are a self-coached athlete.  It will help give you concrete information on how to use data to do baseline testing, guidelines for determining goal training stress, and concepts for how to create a periodized training plan. After the interview, we'll go through a couple pages of the book to give you a practical example of how to determine goal CTL for each the bike and run using an hypothetical athlete and race distance.  As Jim emphasizes in the book, these will just be examples and do not apply to all athletes or all race situations. Let's get into the interview now. Interview Jim Vance Health IQ Ad And we are back.  Thanks again to Health IQ for sponsoring today's interview.  The Health IQ advantage is their unique mortality model that enables lower rates for health conscious people.  Just like having a good driving record saves you money on auto insurance, Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and more. With other life insurance companies, you might be penalized for family history, BMI, and other attributes but don't get rewarded for your health conscious lifestyle.  You put in the time to train consistently, have the discipline to get out there in the cold, in the dark, you eat well, and you get the rewards of greater energy, and you feel good about yourself.  Let's face it, you spend money on race registrations, gym memberships and gear.  See if you can reward yourself further and recoup some of those investments. See how much you can save. To see if you qualify, get your free quote today at healthiq.com/milehigh or mention the promo code Mile High when you talk to a Health IQ agent. Host Discussion Topics Practical example from Triathlon 2.0 As Jim and I discussed, there is no substitute for using hard data to assess and measure performance.  This is not to say that there is not a time and place for training or racing by feel.  I'll give you a couple of examples.  I like to do some rides and runs where I never look at a bike computer or look at my watch.  If I'm thinking about the data on my device, that part of my concentration that is on the device is not on the effort or form of the training itself. In this case performance might be limited by not being able to fully concentrate on the training. Here's another example, there are times with the information on the screen might limit your performance because you curtail effort because the data is telling you are going harder or faster than your rate of perceived exertion.  Let's say your 5 minute peak power is 300 watts from previous training sessions.  You are doing a 5 minute Vo2 max effort on the bike and you look down and your average 20 second power has been 310 for the first minute of your interval.  You may not believe you are capable of carrying that effort for the remaining 4 minutes and end up backing off.  If you were training by feel and just going off RPE, you actually may have been on a breakthrough performance and could have achieved a new PR 5 minute peak power.  My daughter's high school cross country coach won't let the athletes race with watches because it can limit their competitive nature.  The concern that they may be in the heat of battle keeping pace with a team mate or a lead group, and they see that their pace is 10 seconds faster than they've trained to and they back off and let that team mate or group go. So there is a time and place for going by feel.  Here's where you want some actual data - let's say you are doing your functional threshold testing for bFTP or rFTP.  You may do the effort without looking at a watch or power meter if you have a coach or lab tech doing your test, but you damn sure want to have data to record what the power or pace is, correct? Here's another, when you work with a coach or go to prepare you periodized training plan, you need to assess your current training load and your goal training load based on your "A" race goal and "goal" for that race (meaning distance and planned result).  Just using hours of training or mileage is not a measure of actual stress because they don't account for intensity.  Plus, as we learned in the interview with Jim, preriodization is changing the type of training you are doing as you progress from phase to phase through your plan.  You start in the base phase doing general training and get more specific the closer you get to your goal.  Similarly, your intensity increases when you get into your build and peak phases altering the training load for a given duration or distance.  Having an objective measure of the starting CTL and goal CTL are critical to your plan.  You can assess your baseline CTL by using TrainingPeaks as long as you are recording all of your bike and run workouts and are using power and/or heart rate.  As Jim mentioned, you want to track these seperately. You should work with a qualified coach to help you determine what your target CTL is for your race goal and to know whether your ramp rate from the baseline to the goal given the number of weeks to your "A" race is appropriate. If you want to learn more about this process or want help planning for next season, reach out to me at Rich@milehighendurance.com   Speaking of your 2018 season, if you are listening to this episode on the day of release then you are listening to this on New Year's Eve.  A lot of races have price increases at midnight tonight.  If you haven't done it yet, fulfill a resolution a day early and save few bucks by checking out your race registration sites today and register today.  Then go out and celebrate that you've already ticked the box on one of your resolutions! 2017 Show Highlights: When I reflected on all of the interviews of 2017, I scanned through the inventory on the Content page on the MHE website.  Some of the interviews that really stood out for me: The late Terry Laughlin from Total Immersion was such an amazing contributor to our sport and the sport of swimming.  Terry revolutionized swim learning and swimming techniques to help people swim faster with less effort. Coach David Warden who was the host of Tri-Talk and a science-based coaching.  He was one of the inspirations for MHE and he consulted me as I researched starting the show.  He was a contributing author to Triathlon Science and is one of the smartest coaches in the business. We have had legendary professional athletes like Amanda Stevens, Joanna Zeiger, Mary Beth Ellis, Rachel Joyce, Andrew Talansky, TJ Tollakson, Bek Keat, Siri Lindley, Ben Hoffman and Matt Chrabot We have had our friends at USAT including Rocky Harris, Tim Yount, Jessica Welk, Meg Duncan and Barry Siff Finally we have had some of the best coaches in the business including some of the legendary athletes plus Melissa Mantak, Ken Axford, Sara McLarty, Will Murray, and of course Jim Vance. Of course there's also the Kona coverage and all of the special interviews we did on that trip including Bob Babbitt, Mike Reilly, Tim Hola, Chrissy Wellington, Andy Potts and Tim O'Donnell. Among the highlights of 2017 is of course the partnership with 303Triathlon and the entire team.  Of course that includes Bill Plock and Khem Suthiwan.  It also includes Dana Willet, Jen Findlay, Todd Plymale-Mallory and Kim Welk.  I'd like to thank them for supporting MHE and welcoming me as a part of the 303 team. Thanks to all of the people who have supported MHE.

Welcome to Episode #45 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals.   I'm your host Rich Soares and I'm here with co-host Khem Suthiwan.   We have Mary Beth Ellis on the show today and we'll be talking to her in just a bit. [00:00] Intro Khem Suthiwan [09:30] Mary Beth Ellis with Khem [43:12] Marathon Plan and Upcoming Guests [55:01] Wrap Up It was great to get Mary Beth back on the show again.  She's been really great about sharing herself with us and as you heard we'll check in with her from time to time and see how she's doing with team Sutto and the next chapter of her adventure.  One of the things that MB had mentioned in the interview were the risks of racing on antibiotics.  I thought I'd do a little research of my own on the topic.  I found an article that talks about the side effects of exercising on antibiotics, including increased risk of tendon injuries, diarrhea, Cardiac arrhythmias, photosensitivity, and generally decreased athletic performance.  The article is posted on the Resources page of the Mile High Endurance website.  In the intro I mention that I would provide a summary of the marathon training plan that I wrote for myself and that's what I'm going to do here.  [Description of plan]  So that's that plan that got me to this point.  We'll see how next weekend goes.  I'd like send a big thank you to my friend Kathleen Romalia who has been running with me the past few weeks. Upcoming guests and shows: Next week we'll be recording from NYC before the marathon.  I'll be interviewing one of my friends and fellow MBA Opens Doors runners, Bronwyn Morrissey. One of my beliefs about running, is that you should take steps to prevent injury or you will ultimately end up with an overuse injury or worse.  Another belief is that people should and can enjoy running.   I talk to a lot of people who don't enjoy or don't think their body is designed to run.  Hogwash!  I would argue that many people who say that running is too hard or they are not "able to" run, that they could if they had the right balance, strength and form.  All of these things can be assessed and trained.  To talk to us about strength and balance assessments to see where an athlete may have imbalances in functional strength or weak stabilizing muscles, which can lead to injury.  We have an interview with Dr. Nate Williams of Performance Sports Chiropractic coming up.  Dr. Williams has been helping me rehab some tight spots during my training.  He and I have a similar philosophy. David Warden on form and technique training in the off season.  About David Bob Seebohar on Metabolic Efficiency and his book on the subject So lots of great stuff coming up.  If you haven't already liked the MHE Podcast on Facebook or followed @milehighpodcast - go do it now.  I put posts out about new episodes, but also requests for discussion.  I'll announce upcoming guests on Facebook and ask for you to pose your questions.  I'll try to get those answered for you in the interview. Well I guess we should wrap up.  We'll be with you next week from the Big Apple.  Until then - stay tuned, stay informed, and enjoy the triathlon journey!

Welcome to Episode #44 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals.   I'm your host Rich Soares and I'm here with co-host Khem Suthiwan. [00:00] Intro  [09:40] Schoolyard Cross and Clint Bickmore with Khem [17:52] Interview with Chris Soden [1:00:01] Wrap Up We have a different show for you today.   This week's guest interview is a follow up with Chris Soden at the Denver Fit Loft.  We'll do the set up on that in just a bit, but first let's talk about why this show is a little different.  We are out of the recording studio and recording on site at the SchoolYard Cross: Dawson School in Lafayette CO. Interview Setup:  As you may recall from episode #39, Chris invited me into the DFL for a Retul "New Bike Fit".  In that episode we wanted to take the listener through the experience and hear the power of a good fit.  We used the Retul system, coupled with Chris' expertise and found the optimal position (my 3d picture in space) for my riding goals, comfort, etc.  The next step was for Chris to go do some research on bikes that could support my position well for the budget that I have in mind.  The interview today is designed as the follow up discussion that any athlete would have with Chris or their Retul fitter.  Chris will go through is process for identifying appropriate bikes for me and why. Looking ahead to upcoming interviews, we have a number of folks that are scheduled including Mary Beth Ellis, coach David Warden of DW Coaching and the Tri Talk Podcast.  Next weekend is the show before the NYC Marathon, so we'll be talking about my pending trip. As always - Stay tuned, stay informed, and enjoy the triathlon journey!
