Randy Messman is back to share the January challenge called IronFire hosted by the Octane Athletics podcast with his co-host Dave Jimenez (http://www.octane-athletics.com/ironfire).

The boys hit the half century mark with Episode 50.  Topics vary from the perils of raising millennials to taking the mystery out of triathlon strength and conditioning. Puberty hits Randy like a armored car filled with quarters and Octane Athletic’s first virtual event, The Ironfire Challenge is discussed in detail.  Our dynamic duo also discuss the Octane Athletics Training System’s take on the communal nature of the triathlon related organizations and finally get philosophical about how if you help enough people achieve their goals then we will achieve our goals.  Probably the most exciting thing to come out of Octane Athletics since free t-shirts and water bottles, is “The Ironfire Challenge.”  We are putting on a virtual 140.6 distance race that can be completed during the entire month of January. The faster you finish, the more bragging rights to be had.  Tell your friends, tell your family, tell the mailman… challenge people in your life to start off 2016 with steps towards a healthier life.  All registrants will receive a bib with number and their name, a finisher tech t-shirt, and a finisher’s medal.  Listen for details and register at http://www.octane-athletics.com/ironfire. A large portion of the proceeds with go to the Make a Wish Foundation.  Randy and more surprisingly, Dave geeked out a little on functional screening movements, motor unit innervation, and proper strength training progression during the build up to the “A” race.  Randy plugged Matt Dixon’s “The Well Built Triathlete: Turning Potential Into Performance” as a go to reference for proper strength training creation and progression.     Listen to Dr. Ron Tribendis' podcast Recover like a Pro.Pick it up on Amazon today as a present for yourself here: http://amzn.to/1YuuGKlWe also took the guess work out of over/under training by discussing the TSB “Form” metric on Training Peaks.  Read more about it here http://home.trainingpeaks.com/blog/article/managing-your-training-stress-balanceCheck out the Resource page at octane-athletics.com for free training plans, workouts and other cool stuff.Support the Fuel Your Fire PodcastPLEASE RATE THE FUEL YOUR FIRE PODCAST HERELike the Facebook PageCollaborate with us on the Fuel Your Fire Running and Triathlon Facebook GroupFollow Us on TwitterFollow Us on InstagramFollow Dave on TwitterFollow Randy on TwitterThe Octane Athletics Training Systems Coaching Staff is offering FREE consultations for any athlete that is considering hiring a coach to work with them toward their goals.

Randy Messman joins me this week to discuss his improvement from 2014 to 2015 in Ironman racing, coaching, and how he handles the off-season. Randy was technically my first guest on this show but that was a rebroadcast from an earlier effort last year. Join in as we catch up with the co-host of the Octane Athletics podcast.

Support the Podcast by doing your shopping on Amazon.com this holiday season!Gift Ideas for Beginner Triathletes: New goggles - Nothing worse than cheap goggles that leak. It's a low cost way to make a big impact on your triathlete. Dave likes the TYR Special Ops 2.0 Transition Goggles http://amzn.to/1l0H17y because they are photochomatic so you only need one pair for indoor/hazy day or outdoor/sunny day. They're only $23.27 a pair right now on Amazon. A good Bike tool - Trust us... they need one. I like the Crank Brothers Multi Bicycle Tool (17-Function). It's 27.99 on Amazon (http://amzn.to/1IsSCRJ) and its small enough to fit in the saddle bag, a jersey pocket or even in the bento box. Bike Trainer - It's the winter and even down in Texas we spend a lot of time on the trainer. CycleOps Mag+ Trainer w/Adjuster would be what I would get if I were buying now. It's on amazon for $175.99. http://amzn.to/1l0GXF2 Gift Ideas for experienced Triathletes: Book - How Bad Do You Want It?: Mastering the Psychology of Mind over Muscle by Matt Fitzgerald (http://amzn.to/1l0IRp7). Almost every athlete I talk to wants to know how to get better with their mental game. Matt's book does that. It's around $15 on Amazon. Coaching - That's right... pop for their coach. If they haven't had one, give them a month or two of coaching to get them started. It should cost between $150 and $500 dependent on the coach and the services they include.  Wahoo Kickr Bike Trainer - This is a computer or smartphone/tablet controlled resistance trainer (http://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/wahoo-kickr-powertrainer.html). This will take your loved one's training to another level. Add a ZWIFT (http://zwift.com/) account and you turn training into a competitive video game. Kickrs are available at your best local bike shop, like Tri Shop and retail for about $1,200. Randy’s Top Holiday Weekend Deals TomTom Multisport - $99.00 33% off (http://amzn.to/1PXiTQ7). If you don’t have a GPS watch and you are on a budget, this is a no brainer.  This model was my first multisport watch and it packs a lot of features-even at the retail price- for the money.  It doesn’t support power meters but has an easy interface and at $99 this is less expensive than some stand alone heart rate monitors and run-only GPS watches.  Note that it doesn’t come with a heart rate strap or monitor but see below Jarv Bluetooth Smart HR Monitor - $30 (http://amzn.to/1jw6XGG) This low cost Bluetooth smart HR monitor will work with your Tomtom devices, iPhones and Androids, and a multitude of other devices.  I haven’t personally tested this device but at $30 and buying through amazon with their liberal return policy, you probably can’t go wrong here if you are looking for a low cost GPS solution.   Garmin Heart Rate Run $40 which is 60% off (http://amzn.to/1jw6ZOK). If you need a replacement for your Garmin devices, I’ve never seen the Garmin HR Run this cheap.   Fenix 3 $100 off Watch and Watch Bundles (http://amzn.to/1PXiPzJ). The latest release of the Fenix 3 includes almost all of the 920’s multisport features and includes a ton of features that any outdoorsman will find useful. Garmin Vivofit GPS Smartwatch $169/199 32% off (http://amzn.to/1PXiM6T). This very capable activity and GPS device will cover most needs with the exception of a full blown multisport mode.  If you’ve already got an Ant + HR monitor then you don’t need to buy the bundle.   Withings Smart Scales $69/$99 Normally $99/$159 (http://amzn.to/1PXiNHY) Randy pulled the trigger on the WS-50 Scale on Friday.  Right now it looks like the WS-50 scales are sold out because Randy can only find them for $149.  He paid $99.  However, the WS-30 is still available at $69 which is the lowest these scales have ever been.  Both scales will sync with Training Peaks, MyFitnessPal, and a cornucopia of other apps.  Connects through your wireless home network.   Wahoo 20% off any 1 item with coupon code TURKEY:  Note, not valid on any trainers, ELEMNT, or RFLKT.  Available on Wahoo’s site.  Ends Sunday, Nov 29th.  Although this doesn’t cover trainers, it will cover the Tickr which is probably the most versatile HR monitor on the market.  Transmitting in both Bluetooth Smart and Ant +, this device can cover all your bases if you have a mix of Garmin and Bluetooth devices such as a 920XT and a Wahoo Kickr or Snap.  I pulled the trigger on this one myself over the weekend.   Training Peaks 25% off annual premium membership (Code: 25ST15) Best Bike Split 35% off annual membership  (Code: PREM35) Cowtown Marathon Races (Code: BF16SATCM $10 off K Races and BF16SUNCM $20 off Marathon distances) Training Over the Holidays Most important thing is to stay moving.  Something is always better than nothing. Now is a really great time to be keying on your areas you need to improve. We'd bet for many of the folks out there strength is an area that they can focus on. Work on your swim technique. These are indoor activities so there isn't any excuse for not doing them. On the bike and run, slow things down. Work Zone 2 (base building efforts now). That will get your aerobic engine finely tuned and will give you a jump start for 2016.  If you are doing an early season A-Race. Get with your coach NOW to get the plan laid out for that. (Galveston example) We've found with everything going on around this time of year waking up and training in the morning is really the only way that I can guarantee that it gets done.

This one starts off with a bang. Randy recovers from his "Gas Guzzler" suggestion with podcast gold arguing that H eclipses Coffee in terms of its addictive properties. This show note editor found it hilarious when I listened. The guys then discuss some backlash and a slight lack of professionalism exhibited by Normatec VP Kristian Pearson following our side-by-side between RecoveryPump and Normatec. The Octane guys kept it professional with Mr. Pearson offering for him to join the show to discuss Normatec in greater detail. This is the third such invite that was made to Normatec. We shall see where that goes. In the mean time, listen to Episode 29 to get full coverage on the recovery boot challenge we did between RecoveryPump and Normatec. Randy discusses taking the Colorado pancake challenge. See the attached pictures to get an idea of this thing. The last segment of the show is some Q&A about Power Meters and how coaches look at and use metrics like heart rate, cadence, power, etc. Finally, we announce new ways that you, our listeners, can get involved in the show....Call us.

In this episode, we are joined by Brian Carberry and Andrew "Red" Readinger from RecoveryPump.During this episode, we talk in detail about the technology and science related to the kind of therapy that is provided by RecoveryPump. We then put the RecoveryPump to the test against it's competition, Normatech, side-by-side. Mike has never used any kind of recovery boot before and Dave has been an avid boot user for a couple of years and both of the guys strap in for a test drive in them. We shot two videos that you will want to check out. This first video is one that Randy shot where he unboxes the device and walks you through the components. He explains what they do and some of the settings in depth.This second video is one that Randy shot of Dave and Mike in the boots. Dave in the RecoveryPump and Mike with one leg in the RecoveryPump and one in the Normatech. The findings from both of the guys is interesting. SUBSCRIBE to the Octane Athletics YouTube Channel for more informative and entertaining videos in the future.IMPORTANT benefit for our listeners: RecoveryPump is offering listeners of the Octane Athletics Fuel your Fire Podcast 10% off for the remainder of July by using the code OCTANE at checkout at recoverypump.com.ABOUT RECOVERY PUMPRecoveryPump began serving the athletic community on January 1, 2011 after decades helping to improve the quality of life for over 50,000 patients through pneumatic compression pump therapy. The results this therapy has produced for those suffering from arterial and venous disease, lymphedema and other circulatory problems like diabetes have been tremendous.Further research revealed that this same technology could prove equally beneficial to athletes. Scientific evidence abounds in support of the use of sequential compression to expedite recovery, but RecoveryPump became excited by the prospect of sharing these benefits firsthand with the athletic community.What they believed from the start has proven to be true - once you try RecoveryPump and experience the benefits it provides, you'll be a believer in this type of recovery treatment and specifically, RecoveryPump's unique way of delivering it.From the average Joe's to Ironman Triathletes to Pros like 2015 NBA League MVP Stephen Curry and Carly Lloyd from the US Women's National Soccer Team and Professional Triathlete and Ironman Champion Meredith Kessler, RecoveryPump is the best weapon on the market to achieve #LessPainMoreGain.Helpful Links for Recovery Pump:RecoveryPump Twitter FeedRecoveryPump Instagram FeedPLEASE RATE THE PODCAST HERELike the Octane Athletics facebook page at facebook.com/OctaneAthleticsFollow Octane on twitter at twitter.com/octaneUSAFollow Dave on twitter at twitter.com/bigdave4Follow Randy on twitter at twitter.com/randymessmanFollow Mike on twitter at twitter.com/tridailycoachSupport the Podcast by doing your shopping on Amazon.com.

Coach Dave finished Ironman Texas in The Woodlands, TX on May 16. It was a long and painful day for him and the guys talk about how the race went and the lessons learned. Dave finished the race in 16 hours and 50 minutes, which is a longer day that many expected but the performance was a gutsy one. The guys discuss Dave's near term triathlon future. Once they get through that discussion the guys discuss the WTC/Ironman announcement that was made on the heels of the US DOJ declaring that Ironman broke the law with it's execution of the Kona lottery system. You didn't hear about that? Ironman was made to pay around $2.8m in fines to the US DOJ. The $2.8m of athlete money. A day later, Ironman announced it was opening their own coaching certification process. For $600 Ironman will "certify" a coach to work with athletes for their Ironman pursuits. The process seems interestingly simple. No pre-requisites. 14 hours of web-based training and then pass a test and BOOM... you're a certified coach. Coach Dave goes on a bit of a rant on this. Coach Mike reigns him in on that. It's an interesting discussion.PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST HERELike the Octane Athletics facebook page at facebook.com/OctaneAthleticsFollow Octane on twitter at twitter.com/octaneUSAFollow Dave on twitter at twitter.com/bigdave4Follow Randy on twitter at twitter.com/randymessmanFollow Mike on twitter at twitter.com/tridailycoachBe sure to check out octane-athletics.com. Support the Podcast by doing your shopping on Amazon.com.

This one is not as tame as the others have been, but it is pretty darned funny. Mostly because Mike, Randy and Dave discuss the interactions with some knuckleheads they've come across in their years in endurance sports. The guys even admit to their own episodes of douchbaggery. Have fun with this one as you listen. That's the point of the episode, to have some fun.This episode is funny and the examples are real. Enjoy it and if you have any stories of your own you'd like to share, please head over to facebook or twitter and let us hear from you. We hope at the end of this you don't think we're too big a set of d-bags ourselves. PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST HEREBe sure to check out octane-athletics.com. Like the Octane Athletics facebook page at facebook.com/OctaneAthleticsFollow Octane on twitter at twitter.com/octaneUSAFollow Dave on twitter at twitter.com/bigdave4Follow Randy on twitter at twitter.com/randymessmanFollow Mike on twitter at twitter.com/tridailycoachSupport the Podcast by doing your shopping on Amazon.com.

Randy and Dave discuss observations and happenings from Ironman 70.3 Texas which happened in Galveston, TX on April 26, 2015. Dave had 4 athletes in the race and two of them Terry and AnnMarie Wilson's race day went differently than any one of us thought it would. The guys are interrupted by a phone call that is audible over a bluetooth speaker that Dave forgot to disconnect before the recording which turned into a pretty funny discussion and request from Dave to Apple as well as a discussion about the Apple Watch.At the end of the podcast, Dave shares his interesting learning from the flights to and from Chicago. This is one about Jon Bon Jovi and his "farm".Support the Podcast by doing your shopping on Amazon.com. It's that simple. No hidden or additional fees.
