Podcasts about race day

There is no guarantee on race day.  Anything can happen, no matter how perfect or imperfect your build was. In fact, one of our favorite race mantras is: "Show up and see what you've got," which acknowledges the fact that the only thing you can do on race day is your best. We all have race day energy, nerves, and—most of all—expectations. Sometimes we might be afraid to voice our goals out loud, for fear we will not meet them or they will weigh us down. In this episode, we dig into the art of managing and embracing expectations so they become a source of strength, not stress. We dive into how to make realistic race goals and  how to change them on the fly.  We talk about your athlete personality might be a part of the way you react to the lead up to a race or a disappointing performance.  There is a lot to unpack in this one!  

Conventional wisdom is to never try anything new on race day. As we grow as runners, a willingness to experiment on race day can be key to further growth.

6 Ways to Develop an Edge on Race Day (and PR)You've trained for months. The miles are in the bank. Now it's race day — and the question is: what separates a decent race from a breakthrough PR?In this episode, we're breaking down 6 actionable ways to get that extra edge when it matters most. From pacing strategy to mental toughness, nutrition to warm-up execution — these are the little things that can make a big difference.We cover:✅ How to build a race plan you can actually follow✅ Fueling like a pro (without blowing up)✅ Mental cues for when things get hard✅ Race-day gear, warm-up strategy, and moreWhether you're chasing a personal record or just trying to run your smartest race yet, this episode will give you the tools to line up with confidence and finish with pride.

Every finish line moment you've celebrated was made possible by someone who showed up before dawn, prepared water stations, or cheered when you needed it most. In this heartfelt episode, we pull back the curtain on race volunteering with insights from experienced volunteers who've supported events from local 5Ks to the Boston Marathon.Our volunteer panel—Ilyana, Steve, Kay, and Mike—share what motivates them to give their time, the behind-the-scenes work few runners see, and the special connections formed with participants during races. From setting up thousands of water cups hours before runners arrive to finding creative ways to encourage struggling participants, these stories will transform how you see the smiling faces along your race route."I want any runner that interacts with me to know that I'm there to help them in any way I can," explains Steve, capturing the generous spirit that defines the volunteer experience. Kay reminds us that volunteers are often the first to arrive and last to leave, asking nothing in return but the joy of supporting others' achievements.We're also joined by Mark Lane-Holbert, who shares his profound experience guiding a blind runner at the Boston Marathon and discusses his upcoming handbook on running therapy. His work with Achilles International highlights another dimension of the running community's supportive nature.The episode features a delightful conversation with five women who formed the "Joyful Runners" relay team for the Centennial 100K in Washington after meeting through our podcast community. Their story of strangers becoming teammates exemplifies how running creates meaningful connections.Whether you're a seasoned racer or preparing for your first event, this episode will deepen your appreciation for the volunteers who make our running journeys possible. Next time you pass a water station or cross a finish line, remember to share a smile or word of thanks—it means more than you know.Send us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

Are you ready to conquer the TCS Sydney Marathon?!

Lewis Hamilton kende opnieuw een teleurstellende zaterdag op de Hungaroring, waar hij niet verder kwam dan Q2. Na afloop uitte hij zijn frustratie en suggereerde zelfs dat Ferrari misschien beter voor een andere coureur kan kiezen.

Verstappen was niet te spreken over het besluit van de stewards. Volgens hem schrok Hamilton en ging hij daarom van de baan. "Of ik negende word of lager, maakt me weinig uit," zei hij tegen Viaplay.

The countdown to race day brings a unique cocktail of nerves, excitement, and questions. What's really happening to your body during taper? Should you squeeze in one more long run? How do you handle those phantom pains that suddenly appear?Drawing from decades of experience and my personal journey completing all six World Marathon Majors, I've created the ultimate 30-day race countdown guide that transforms pre-race anxiety into your secret weapon for success. This comprehensive roadmap breaks down exactly what happens physiologically and psychologically during each phase of your final month before race day.We begin with the "Peak and Polish" phase (days 30-21), where you'll execute final key workouts while learning why your aerobic fitness adaptations peak 10-14 days after your hardest efforts. Then we navigate "Taper Town" (days 20-14), revealing why tapering can improve endurance by up to 11% and those heavy legs are actually a good thing (hint: each gram of glycogen stores 3-4 grams of water—that's not bloat, it's your race-day fuel!).The journey continues through "Prep and Protect" (days 13-7), where you'll discover the critical Day 10 threshold—the point after which additional hard workouts can only hurt, never help. Finally, we reach race week itself, your time to "Calm and Conquer" with carefully rehearsed routines and visualization techniques that transform nervous energy into race-day power.This episode isn't just a timeline; it's your companion through the physical and mental rollercoaster that defines this magical window between peak training and your victory lap. Whether your goal race is your first or your fifteenth, these science-backed strategies and practical tips will help you arrive at the start line not just hoping for the best, but truly ready to celebrate the culmination of all your hard work.Have questions or want to chat?

The most successful athletes aren't the ones who train the hardest; they're the ones who know exactly how much they can handle without breaking.What if you've been doing it all wrong—pushing too hard or not hard enough—without even realizing it? In this episode, I unpack the real difference between being slightly overtrained versus slightly undertrained and why that small distinction could make or break your next race. You'll learn how life, stress, and even altitude play into your training choices, and more importantly, how to listen to your body before it's too late. Whether you're juggling a busy schedule, prepping for your first marathon, or trying to maintain your edge without burning out, this episode gives you the insight to adjust, recover smarter, and stay in the game longer.Key TakeawaysGoing into a race slightly undertrained is often safer than going in overtrained. It helps you avoid injury, recover faster, and stay consistent in your training long term.Being a runner is about more than just workouts. It's about finding balance—physically, mentally, and emotionally—so your running fits into your life, not takes over it.Failing is part of the process. Whether it's messing up race nutrition or overdoing mileage, each misstep is a chance to learn, adjust, and come back stronger.Timestamps[00:00] What Would You Rather: Be Slightly Overtrained or Undertrained For a Race?[00:25] Come Have a Convo In Zone 2 With Us[01:02] Why Overtraining Is Best For Racing[03:08] Why Undertraining Is Best For Racing[05:43] What's Keeping Us Healthy, Creative & Wise?[06:29] What's Keeping Remy Healthy?[07:43] What's Keeping Daren Healthy?[10:51] Use This To Get 1% Better Every Day In Your Run Life[11:40] What's Keeping Daren Creative?[15:14] What's Keeping Remy Creative?[17:20] What's Keeping Daren Wise?[21:43] What's Keeping Remy Wise?Links & Learnings

This episode has a tip for everyone!

Week one of ultramarathon training is in the books—and it was a sweaty one! In this episode, we kick things off by checking in on how training is feeling so far, especially as the summer heat settles in. Then we dive into two weekend race recaps, starting with Saturday's Fighting Fentanyl 5K in Shawnee, KS—a meaningful event with a powerful cause. Sunday brought the Village Shalom Father's Day 10K, where the course was fast, but the humidity was faster. Let's just say… it wasn't my finest race performance. We close out the episode by talking about how humidity messes with your running—from elevated heart rate to that feeling of running through soup. If you struggled in this weekend's weather, you're not alone. Lace up and tune in for some honest race reflections, training talk, and weather wisdom from the back of the pack.

Hour 1 of Sports on a Sunday Morning features Tom Ackerman in conversation with three key guests.

As triathletes, our mindset is just as crucial as our physical strength. In Jon Gordon's The Energy Bus, he shares 10 rules for driving your energy toward success. Let's apply those rules to your triathlon journey, turning obstacles into opportunities and maintaining the energy needed to reach your goals. 1. You're the Driver of Your Bus. You are in control of your journey. In triathlon, you choose how to show up each day—whether it's a tough workout, a challenging race, or life's distractions. Be the driver of your bus, not a passenger. Take charge of your mindset, your goals, and your daily actions. 2. Desire, Vision, and Focus Move Your Bus in the Right Direction. Set your sights on the finish line and keep your vision clear. Whether it's crossing the Ironman finish line or shaving time off your race, focusing on your desire will keep you motivated, even on the hard days. Vision will give your training purpose and drive. 3. Fuel Your Ride with Positive Energy. Just as a bus needs fuel to run, you need positive energy to keep going. Negative thoughts and self-doubt can derail you, but fueling your mind with positive affirmations, supportive teammates, and empowering self-talk will keep your wheels turning. 4. Invite People on Your Bus and Share Your Vision. You don't have to go on this journey alone. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your goals. Whether it's your coach, training partners, or family, the energy of a supportive community can help you keep going when the road gets tough. 5. Don't Waste Your Energy on Those Who Don't Support You. You're going to encounter naysayers. Whether it's people questioning your goals or giving you negative feedback, don't waste time or energy on them. Stay focused on those who cheer you on and bring positivity to your life. Protect your energy—your race depends on it. 6. Think About What You Want, Not What You Don't Want. In triathlon, it's easy to focus on the challenges—fear of failure, bad weather, or tough competition. Instead, focus on your goals and what you want to achieve. Visualize success, and let that vision propel you forward with energy and determination. 7. Drive with Purpose. Every training session, every race, every recovery day should have purpose behind it. Whether you're hitting the pool or doing a long run, align your effort with your bigger goal. When you have purpose, every action counts, and the journey becomes meaningful. 8. Passion is Contagious. Let your passion for triathlon inspire others. Passion is magnetic—it fuels your drive and motivates those around you. When you bring energy and enthusiasm to your training, your teammates and training partners will rise to the occasion as well. 9. Love Your Passengers. Your teammates, coaches, and support crew are key to your journey. Appreciate their support and invest in these relationships. Whether it's a word of encouragement from a fellow athlete or advice from your coach, they help carry the load and make the ride more enjoyable. 10. Drive Your Bus to the End with Gratitude. Be grateful for each mile, each step of progress, and each race you complete. Gratitude will help you stay grounded and focused, and it will help you celebrate your victories—big and small. Every part of the journey is worth appreciating. Action item: This week, focus on driving your energy bus with purpose. Identify one area of your training or life where you can apply one of the 10 rules to create a positive impact. Share your energy with your training partners and keep your vision clear. Get behind the wheel of your success, and drive with confidence!   TriDot Workout of the Week: Race Week Builds Race Week Builds Bike Session Note For each effort, build from a moderate pace to threshold pace and hold for final 2' of each effort. Be sure to get full recovery between intervals. Don't overdo this session. Just priming for race day. Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 2 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 3 to 5 x 4 min @ Build to Z4 (4 min) Race Week Run Session Note Goal is to dial into race pace. Run comfortably and loose. Aim to hold race pace for the last 30 to 60 seconds of each effort. Don't go too hard. You're not going to gain much fitness in this single session, but you can certainly mess a lot up. Be conservative on this one. Warmup ~5-10 min of dynamic stretching and muscle activation Main Set 2 x 3 min @ Build to Race Pace (2 min jog) Balance of time @ Z2   Fun Segment: Race Week Roulette! Welcome to Race Week Roulette—the game where we test your triathlon instincts and race-day adaptability with all the curveballs race week can throw your way. Lost gear, mystery cramps, and weird dreams about forgetting your timing chip—nothing's off-limits. So buckle up and get ready to spin the wheel of race-week mayhem!    

We love the idea of a breakthrough—the dramatic finish, the record-shattering time, the race where it finally clicks.But what if that moment you're chasing isn't about magic… but mindset?Returning to the show today is Alex Ostberg, former NCAA standout and the thoughtful voice behind The Rundown. In this episode, we dive into the psychology of high performance and unpack four of Alex's most powerful recent essays.We begin by debunking the myth of overnight success, revealing how real progress is built quietly—through patient, consistent effort. From there, Alex explores how belief isn't just motivational—it's foundational. Because if you don'tbelieve you're capable, your body won't act like it is.We then tackle what it means to find “the edge” as a runner—and why growth begins the moment you step beyond your comfort zone. Finally, we discuss the internal narratives that unfold on race day, and how the stories we tell ourselves can shape—or sabotage—our performance.This episode is more than a conversation about running. It's about mindset, identity, and learning how to rewrite your limits from the inside out.In today's conversation, Alex tackles key subjects like breakthroughs, the central governor theory, breaks down scientific studies that you can apply directly to your running/life, how to deal with pre-race nerves, pressure, anxiety, and more.This episode is VALUE packed and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. Tap into Alex Ostberg Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Fitness Coach Max Gering discuss the case of David, a 52-year-old father and IRONMAN aspirant with limited training time. David's initial marathon training was rigid and stressful, affecting his family life. The team at Purple Patch adapted his training to a dynamic, flexible schedule, focusing on hydration, sleep, and post-workout fueling. They deferred his Ironman to five months later, allowing him to build a performance base. David's training included a mix of strength, running, and biking, with key sessions planned in advance. He successfully completed his IRONMAN in 12 hours, demonstrating the effectiveness of their integrated approach.

Did you do any type of gut training while also using Vespa?     She also posted some questions about Vespa on the I AM TriDot Facebook page:   For those of you using Vespa, I have some questions as I'm considering trying it. Are you eating a lower carb diet most days? How do you fuel your longer rides/runs now? How has your race nutrition changed? Is gut training still beneficial? Do you still carb load before a longer race?   Get Gritty Tip: Touch Your Dreams Every triathlete has a dream. It could be crossing the finish line of your first race, qualifying for a championship, or becoming a stronger version of yourself. But what sets great athletes apart is having a clear vision of that dream and working relentlessly to make it a reality. As Coach Ed Mylett says, "It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams." You are the leader of your own journey, and your vision can guide you through every training session, every race, and every obstacle. Vision is the fuel that drives consistent action. It's easy to get caught up in the grind of training—times, distances, paces—but the real power lies in seeing beyond the day-to-day. When you have a vision, you're not just training for the next workout; you're training for your dream. That vision will push you through the tough days when you feel tired, frustrated, or uncertain. It reminds you that you are not just chasing times or placing in races—you are building the athlete you dream to be. What's your vision for your triathlon journey? Are you clear on your dream, or are you still figuring it out? Take time to reconnect with that vision—whether it's personal growth, achieving a specific race goal, or leading others. The power of vision is in its ability to inspire you to keep going when things feel tough. Get Gritty Action: Write down one thing that represents your ultimate dream as a triathlete. Whether it's a time goal, an experience, or a feeling, get specific about your vision and keep it front and center in your training. Share it with your community to hold yourself accountable. Keep your dream alive, and never stop selling it to yourself. Because when you have vision, you can achieve greatness.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Race Scenario Drills Welcome back to another segment of the TriDot Workout of the Week.

“I wouldn't toe the line for any race if I didn't think I could win. I'm a David amongst Goliaths out there, but I think I've always got a chance [to win].”In 2024, Dakotah Popehn wasn't on most people's U.S. Olympic team shortlist, but that didn't stop her from running herself onto the team with a fearless third place finish at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and a gutsy run in Paris that saw her leading the Olympic marathon around halfway. Popehn turned heads and rewrote the expectations around her name.Now she's back on the major stage – this time lining up in Boston with confidence, momentum, and a whole new set of eyes on her.
