What do you think about me doing a full marathon as a build up to the IRONMAN? That's awesome—you're gearing up for one of the most demanding endurance events out there! Preparing for a full-distance IRONMAN (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) requires a smart balance of volume, intensity, and recovery. Your question about whether a full marathon is necessary or ideal is a great one, and it really depends on your goals and current training status. Is a Full Marathon Necessary for IRONMAN Prep? While many athletes include a marathon in their build-up, it's not always the most effective or safest choice. Here's why:   Pros of Running a Marathon Before IRONMAN: - Mental confidence boost from completing the distance. - Opportunity to test nutrition, pacing, and gear. - Simulates the fatigue and mental grind of the IRONMAN run.   Cons: - High injury risk due to the pounding and recovery time required. - Doesn't replicate IRONMAN fatigue (you'll be running after 6–8 hours of swimming and biking). - Can disrupt your training cycle due to the taper and recovery needed.   Viable Alternatives to a Marathon Here are some smart substitutes that can build endurance and race readiness without the downsides of a standalone marathon: 1. **Century Ride (100-mile bike)** - **Pros**: Low-impact, builds aerobic base, simulates IRONMAN bike leg. - **Use it for**: Nutrition testing, pacing, and mental endurance. - **Pair it with**: A short brick run (e.g., 6–10 miles) to simulate race fatigue.   2. **Long Swim Events (e.g., 5K–10K open water)** - **Pros**: Builds swim confidence, improves pacing and sighting. - **Use it for**: Practicing open water skills and wetsuit comfort. - **Pair it with**: A bike ride or short run for a swim-bike brick.   3. **Race Simulation Bricks** - **Example**: 80-mile bike + 13-mile run. - **Pros**: Mimics IRONMAN fatigue better than a standalone marathon. - **Use it for**: Testing gear, nutrition, and pacing under fatigue.   4. **Back-to-Back Long Runs** - **Example**: 12 miles Saturday + 10 miles Sunday. - **Pros**: Builds run durability with less injury risk than a marathon. - **Use it for**: Building cumulative fatigue without a single long effort. Coach's Summary Recommendation Unless you're chasing a marathon PR or need the mental boost, **skip the standalone marathon**. Instead, focus on **race-specific brick workouts**, **long rides**, and **progressive long runs**. These will better prepare you for the unique demands of IRONMAN day. Get Gritty Tip: Follow Your Dreams! Welcome to this very special Get Gritty Tip, where we're celebrating a huge milestone—500 episodes! Listeners, did you know that most podcasts don't make it past their third episode? While some podcasts have hundreds or even thousands of episodes, a large number of podcasts are abandoned early. A significant percentage of podcasts (90%) will not make it past their third episode, and another 90% of those that do will quit before reaching 20 episodes, according to Riverside FM. To honor this impressive feat, we are putting Rich in the interviewee's chair and speaking with the man who made it all happen. Rich's dedication to endurance sports, coaching, and the endurance community has not only shaped this podcast but also the lives of countless people around the world. Over the years, the 303 Endurance Podcast has become a go-to resource for athletes, coaches, and endurance enthusiasts alike, particularly in the 303 area, thanks to Rich's hard work, passion, and commitment to sharing inspiring stories and valuable insights on the airwaves. From launching the podcast to hitting 500 episodes, Rich's growth is a testament to the power of resilience, growth, and the love of endurance sports.

What advice do you have for anyone starting a podcast?   Thanks again to Rich's unwavering commitment to the endurance community. From inspiring athletes to exploring new topics and challenges, Rich has built a lasting legacy that will continue to impact and inspire for years to come. Rich, thank you for everything you've poured into this podcast, the community, and the sport. Here's to the next 500 episodes and beyond. Your work is truly remarkable! TriDot Workout of the Week: Bike-Run Bricks Today's workout is Bike-Run Bricks. Session Note This session is best done on a trainer. Stage your shoes, fuel, and hydration close by so that you're able to quickly transition from bike to run. If you leave your shoes clipped onto your pedals for races, then do so here too. Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 2 x 4 min Bike* / 3 min Run** (3 min) *Bike - First 1 min establish rhythm and getting feet in shoes. / Ride @ race pace in race position and 90+ rpms. / Final 1 min prep for run. Shift to one gear easier. Stretch back and calves. **Run - First 1 min find form and rhythm. Do NOT exceed race pace. / Run @ race pace. / Final 1 min build to FAST finish pace. Visualize finish chute! Hydrate during recovery between brick sets. Balance of time in Zone 2. Fun Segment: IRONMAN or IRONmad? Alright, we covered a great question in our Ask A Coach segment—should you run a full marathon during your IRONMAN build? That got me thinking about all the wild decisions athletes make leading up to race day. So welcome to a new segment I'm calling Ironman or Ironmad? Here's how it works: I'll throw out some scenarios—real ones we've seen or heard—and we'll give our take. Are they solid strategies… or are we veering into madness? Scenario 1: “You decide to do a heat adaptation block for your IRONMAN—by sitting in a dry sauna in a full bike kit every day for a week.” Scenario 2: “You ride your longest bike session—112 miles—indoors on the trainer because you want to control nutrition, effort, and minimize interruptions.” Scenario 3: “You sign up for a local sprint tri just to ‘shake off the rust'… but end up racing it full throttle two weeks out from your IRONMAN.” Scenario 4: “You tape motivational quotes inside your helmet, on your bike stem, and under your water bottle to read mid-race.” Scenario 5: “You fly to your race 48 hours before the gun goes off, figuring you'll ‘sleep on the plane' and save money on hotel nights.” Bonus Scenario! Scenario 6: “You wear your brand-new race kit, race shoes, and nutrition mix for the very first time… on race day.” Race day success isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters. So when you're making decisions in your IRONMAN prep, ask yourself: Is this building toward the race… or just feeding my ego? And if you've got a questionable training story or race-week decision you want to share, send it our way. We might feature it in the next Ironman or Ironmad?   Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with Mike Reilly, longtime member and now owner/manager of PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE! Mike visited the show to discuss the band's first album in nearly twenty years, "BACK ON TRACK"! In this conversation, we discuss what motivated them to release a new album, the songs they recorded for it, and the surprising backstory of some of those songs! We also talk about PPL's history with Vince Gill, their iconic “Sad Luke” album artwork, and how a YouTuber from the UK helped introduce their music to a new generation of fans! And somehow, we even ended up talking about what it would take to get Pure Prairie League to play the Sphere in Las Vegas.
