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. Rich, it's an honor to reflect with you on everything that's led us to this incredible moment. Thank you for all that you've done for the community. Here's to many more episodes ahead! 500 episodes!

Know your purpose. Progress of the Soul What's next for the 303 Endurance Podcast? 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!

Goldfeather is the work of vocalist and composer Sarah Goldfeather and guitarist/producer Mike Tierney. Sarah Goldfeather is also a founding member of the ensemble Excpetet, a group modeled on the instrumentation of Stravinksy's "L'Histoire du Soldat" and created to commission new works by living composers. In fact, all of the band members are classically trained, with experience and interests from bluegrass to experimental pop. Goldfeather's new album, Change, is a head-spinning blend of hyperpop filtered through the lens of contemporary classical and electronic music. With its processed voices, sudden shifts in rhythm and harmony, and catchy pop hooks, the new songs are off-kilter fun, even as they tell a serious tale of "uncomfortable self-reflection" The band plays some of these tunes in-studio.   Set list: "Who Am I When I Am All Alone", "The Animal", "Beautiful Tree" Watch "Who Am I When I Am All Alone": Watch "Animal": Watch "Beautiful Tree":

While the goal continues to be to bring the community together annually for an in-person conference, USA Triathlon received overwhelming feedback in a survey it sent a few months ago that many were still recovering and the cost of travel and lodging, as well as job professional and personal obligations, made a virtual conference the best option in 2022. The conference will also record all live sessions and provide attendees the option to view sessions on-demand on their own schedule for three months after the event.   Endurance Exchange is a joint effort to grow, inspire and support the multisport community by bringing industry stakeholders together to learn, share best practices, network and collaborate. The virtual format in 2022 will once again be hosted on Cvent and encourage participation from an even wider range of multisport constituents. The event is open not only to those involved in the business of triathlon, but also to multisport enthusiasts of all types — from beginners to competitive age-group athletes to Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls — as specific athlete-focused sessions will cater to all skill and experience levels. USA Triathlon is continuing to explore options for in-person educational, resource sharing and networking opportunities later in 2022 and will provide additional information as details are finalized.   New in 2022, this year's event will feature a content track specifically for multisport club leaders and administrators, and two options for the Athlete Insider track for novices or advanced athletes. Attendees can also expect additional engaging and interactive features, including live polling, in-session chats, in-session surveys, and prizes for the most engaged conference attendees.   Registration for the 2022 event is now open at enduranceexchange.com at early-bird pricing of $150 for the All-Access track and $45 for the Athlete Insider track. All registrants will also have the opportunity to purchase or extend their USA Triathlon annual memberships for 12 months at a discounted rate of $35. Attendees will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 coaching and/or race director CEUs.   Nearly 1,100 members of the multisport community attended virtually in 2021 to engage with more than 60 hours content across nearly 80 sessions and more than 130 speakers. Registrants should expect a similar volume of content in 2022's edition.   The conference sessions will run from approximately 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 3 and Friday, March 4, and from approximately 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, March 5.   For the third year, USA Triathlon is offering a limited number of Together We Thrive Endurance Exchange scholarships to foster diversity and bring varied perspectives to the event. Interested candidates may apply here. Priority will be given to people of racial and ethnic minorities, women, and those who may not otherwise be able to attend due to financial constraints.   More information about session topics and speakers will be available at enduranceexchange.com as details are finalized. For sponsorship inquiries and other questions related to Endurance Exchange, please email info@enduranceexchange.com.     What's New in the 303:   USA Triathlon To Invest $100,000-Plus To Drive Youth Participation COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Triathlon today announced its plans to invest more than $100,000 to increase opportunities and access for current and prospective youth athletes across the multisport community through its 2022 Return to Racing Youth Stimulus Package.   The 2022 Return to Racing Youth Stimulus Package includes the following: Free youth event sanctioning Free youth clinic sanctioning Free registration for youth clubs 10 free youth memberships for every youth sanctioned race and youth club Expansion of Youth Scholarship Program   USA Triathlon will donate 10 free youth memberships directly to race directors and clubs for every youth sanctioned race and youth club. Race directors and clubs are encouraged to distribute these memberships to underserved and underrepresented youth and communities at their discretion.   Sanctioning events and clinics with USA Triathlon provides a number of benefits, including a direct connection to local multisport leaders across the country, regional and national marketing and promotional support, access to USA Triathlon's crisis management resources, a public acknowledgment of committing to fairness, access and respect, compliance with the U.S. Center for SafeSport, general liability and athlete excess medical coverage that also protects against damage to property, and more. Learn more about USA Triathlon sanctioning here.   USA Triathlon Official Clubs are included in USA Triathlon's Find a Club page, have the opportunity to compete for club national and state championships, receive exclusive race discounts and other event-related perks, have access to resources and education from multisport industry and community leaders, including SafeSport training and education, and more.

While the goal continues to be to bring the community together annually for an in-person conference, USA Triathlon received overwhelming feedback in a survey it sent a few months ago that many were still recovering and the cost of travel and lodging, as well as job professional and personal obligations, made a virtual conference the best option in 2022. The conference will also record all live sessions and provide attendees the option to view sessions on-demand on their own schedule for three months after the event.   Endurance Exchange is a joint effort to grow, inspire and support the multisport community by bringing industry stakeholders together to learn, share best practices, network and collaborate. The virtual format in 2022 will once again be hosted on Cvent and encourage participation from an even wider range of multisport constituents. The event is open not only to those involved in the business of triathlon, but also to multisport enthusiasts of all types — from beginners to competitive age-group athletes to Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls — as specific athlete-focused sessions will cater to all skill and experience levels. USA Triathlon is continuing to explore options for in-person educational, resource sharing and networking opportunities later in 2022 and will provide additional information as details are finalized.   New in 2022, this year's event will feature a content track specifically for multisport club leaders and administrators, and two options for the Athlete Insider track for novices or advanced athletes. Attendees can also expect additional engaging and interactive features, including live polling, in-session chats, in-session surveys, and prizes for the most engaged conference attendees.   Registration for the 2022 event is now open at enduranceexchange.com at early-bird pricing of $150 for the All-Access track and $45 for the Athlete Insider track. All registrants will also have the opportunity to purchase or extend their USA Triathlon annual memberships for 12 months at a discounted rate of $35. Attendees will have the opportunity to earn up to 10 coaching and/or race director CEUs.   Nearly 1,100 members of the multisport community attended virtually in 2021 to engage with more than 60 hours content across nearly 80 sessions and more than 130 speakers. Registrants should expect a similar volume of content in 2022's edition.   The conference sessions will run from approximately 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 3 and Friday, March 4, and from approximately 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, March 5.   For the third year, USA Triathlon is offering a limited number of Together We Thrive Endurance Exchange scholarships to foster diversity and bring varied perspectives to the event. Interested candidates may apply here. Priority will be given to people of racial and ethnic minorities, women, and those who may not otherwise be able to attend due to financial constraints.   More information about session topics and speakers will be available at enduranceexchange.com as details are finalized. For sponsorship inquiries and other questions related to Endurance Exchange, please email info@enduranceexchange.com.     What's New in the 303:   USA Triathlon To Invest $100,000-Plus To Drive Youth Participation COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Triathlon today announced its plans to invest more than $100,000 to increase opportunities and access for current and prospective youth athletes across the multisport community through its 2022 Return to Racing Youth Stimulus Package.   The 2022 Return to Racing Youth Stimulus Package includes the following: Free youth event sanctioning Free youth clinic sanctioning Free registration for youth clubs 10 free youth memberships for every youth sanctioned race and youth club Expansion of Youth Scholarship Program   USA Triathlon will donate 10 free youth memberships directly to race directors and clubs for every youth sanctioned race and youth club. Race directors and clubs are encouraged to distribute these memberships to underserved and underrepresented youth and communities at their discretion.   Sanctioning events and clinics with USA Triathlon provides a number of benefits, including a direct connection to local multisport leaders across the country, regional and national marketing and promotional support, access to USA Triathlon's crisis management resources, a public acknowledgment of committing to fairness, access and respect, compliance with the U.S. Center for SafeSport, general liability and athlete excess medical coverage that also protects against damage to property, and more.

Kevin McDowell (Geneva, Ill.) and Katie Zaferes (Cary, N.C.) were newly announced to the roster, joining Summer Rappaport (Thornton, Colo.), Taylor Knibb (Washington, D.C.) and Morgan Pearson (Boulder, Colo.), who were already qualified.   The five members of the Tokyo-bound team have a wealth of experience and success on the international race circuit, with a combined 32 World Triathlon Championship Series medals, 30 World Triathlon Cup medals and 12 World Triathlon Mixed Relay Series medals between them.     The road to Tokyo 2020 For the first time in history, our triathletes will compete across three medal events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The long journey to be among those chosen to compete for Olympic glory begins in Japan this weekend, at the 2018 ITU World Triathlon Yokohama. In just over two years' time, 55 men and 55 women be going for Olympic gold in the individual events and then again in country-based teams of four in the Mixed Relay. The qualification period starts on 11 May 2018, and will finish the very same day in 2020.   “Tokyo is going to be an extremely important event not only for the International Triathlon Union, but also for the history of our sport and for the athletes competing there”, said ITU President and IOC member, Marisol Casado. “The Olympic Games is the pinnacle of the sport, and to give our athletes the opportunity to earn two medals in the same Games is something of which we should all be very proud. With male and female athletes competing together as a team we will show the world just how committed triathlon is to gender equality, and how our athletes can shine and perform under any circumstances, both individually and as a team”, she said.   “For this Qualification period, the key for the National Federations will be to find the balance in the focus of the individual and mixed relay participation in the next two years. It will require a real team effort from all the Federations”, explained Gergely Markus, ITU Sports Director.   There will be various ways to qualify for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and earn one of the 55 spots available. As a new addition to the previous qualification criteria, there will be Mixed Relay events counting towards the qualification.   The top seven countries on the Mixed Relay Olympic Qualification Ranking as of March 31, 2020, will secure two men's and two women's quota places each.   Three further countries will be awarded two men's and two women's places at a qualification event for the top 18-ranked countries (not including those already qualified) to be held between 1 April and 11 May, 2020. Our Olympic Games hosts Japan are already guaranteed their four places in the Mixed Relay.   Via these three methods, 22 places will have been secured, with a further 26 places then available through the Individual Olympic Qualification Ranking.   For those countries with 2-2 places already secured by any of the previous qualification pathways, the top 2 athletes in both genders will not be considered in this ranking.   Countries with three or more athletes among the top 30 of this ranking will be able to secure a third quota place, otherwise there will be a maximum two per country.   The overall Olympic eligibility criteria for any athlete will be finishing in the top 140 of the Individual Olympic Qualification Ranking.   The “new flag” rule will be applied again for the qualification for Tokyo 2020. The countries that will be eligible for those places will be the ones which athletes' are at the best ranking position from the continent on the ITU World Ranking from those countries which didn't secure any place by any means of the above.   Last but not least, a maximum of two invitations will be awarded to countries entitled to receive such places and with eligible athletes according to the IOC criteria and who are represented in the top 180 of the ITU World Ranking.   It is important to remember that quota places will be earned by the countries, not the individuals. It remains the decision of each National Olympic Committee which athletes are chosen to take them.   Athletes will not have to compete in the individual events of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to be part of the team of the Mixed Relay event, but their country's quota would not be increased in such cases.     U.S. Olympic Trials: Katie Ledecky wins 200, 1500 meter freestyle titles Katie Ledecky secured two Olympic bids on Wednesday at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., winning the 200-meter freestyle and cruising in the 1,500-meter freestyle to qualify in those events for for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.   A little more than an hour after winning the 200 freestyle in 1:55.11, Ledecky — the world record holder in the 1,500 — swam the fastest 1,500-meter time in the world this year (15:40.50) for victory. Erica Sullivan was second at 15:51.18.   Ledecky has the top 10 fastest times in history in the women's 1,500 freestyle. She previously won the 400-meter freestyle final on Monday. Ledecky has won six medals at the Olympics (five gold, one silver), including five at the 2016 games.     What's New in the 303:   Check Out Upcoming 3 Day MTB Stage Race in Winter Park–Qualifier for Nationals Rattler Racing has been around awhile just coming off a successful new gravel race in Eastern Colorado, the Mad Gravel. Now their focus will turn to a three day mountain bike stage race in Winter Park June 17-19–and you will not be racing on Fathers Day if you need to keep that open for family time.   Looking over the event information and having talked with Race Director Dave Muscianisi, you know the goal is to have a lot of fun, be challenged and have a lot of fun–oh wait did I say that already? Here are a few rules that foreshadow the vibe for a well organized event on some beautiful trails and roads in Grand County.   Rule 1: You will smile no matter the pain. Rule 6: Be nice to the land, it never did anything to you. Rule 8: If you don't thank a volunteer, you will be publicly shamed.     Confessions of a Ragnar Newbie Shout out to Emma Pearson of Athletic Brewing Company for the free 6 pack of Run Wild IPA, All Out Stout and Rainbow Wall IPA (their pride month beer).   Just hit the highlights Amber Hardesty and marketing director Dave Deboer Aaron, Rich, Josh, Jake, Patrick, Chris, Matt, Matt 13 overall and 3 in Male Open     Bill & Rich's Excellent [Endurance] Adventure Bill   Rich Riding Squaw Pass on Saturday, Fathers Day baby back smoked ribs Sunday     Video of the Week: Mike Tierney World Record Unicycle Climb       Upcoming Interviews People For Bikes   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

Erica Sullivan was second at 15:51.18.   Ledecky has the top 10 fastest times in history in the women's 1,500 freestyle. She previously won the 400-meter freestyle final on Monday. Ledecky has won six medals at the Olympics (five gold, one silver), including five at the 2016 games.     What's New in the 303:   Check Out Upcoming 3 Day MTB Stage Race in Winter Park–Qualifier for Nationals Rattler Racing has been around awhile just coming off a successful new gravel race in Eastern Colorado, the Mad Gravel.

Here are a few rules that foreshadow the vibe for a well organized event on some beautiful trails and roads in Grand County.   Rule 1: You will smile no matter the pain. Rule 6: Be nice to the land, it never did anything to you.
