Rob's family has grown as he and Heather recently welcomed their third child, Annie Marie, to the world. That hasn't stopped Rob from training, or from pursuing some crazy goals. He talks about his ultra-cycling race, his DNF at the Hyner 50K, finishing the Pittsburgh Marathon, and his pursuit of 100 miles and a magical belt buckle at the Rim to River race in West Virginia this November.

Episode 127 – Badger Trail Races 2021 “Event” in Preview Gretchen is still MIA. OK, she's out of town on business. We still don't get her priorities. People need #viewsfromthecouch. Oh, well, maybe next time. Instead, Pete invites Rob Bozovich back to do a race event in preview. Pete goes back to the Badger Trail in Wisconsin to take on the 50K. Put on by Ten Junk Miles Racing, this is an incredible event. This year Pete will walk it. The goals – enjoy the day, encourage some people, maybe cross a finish line. Truly no expectations for this one. It should make for an interesting recap soon! Now, get out there and #bebettertoday!

Episode 118 – Catching Up with Rob Gretchen needs a bit more time off, so Pete goes solo in this episode. Fear not, it is not just Pete giving a 45-minute stream of consciousness soliloquy because he is joined by our very good friend, Rob Bozovich. Last time Rob visited, we learned some about his affinity for indoor cycling with Zwift. Pete asks Rob a lot more about Zwift and the two delve into the details. If you want to learn more about Zwift, or just pick Rob’s brain, hit him up or contact Pete for an introduction. Pete also talks to Rob about his overall health during the pandemic. As usual, Rob is candid while giving the full picture of what’s been happening. It is always fun to hear what Rob has to offer! Now, get out there and #bebettertoday!

Episode 68 features Pete having a roundtable discussion with John Harris and Rob Bozovich from the Endurance for Everyone podcast. Where’s Gretchen? Well, she decided to sit this one out. Fear not, #viewsfromthecouch will be back next episode! Pete was listening to a Ten Junk Miles episode when he had a question: Why does it seem racing a lot is seen as a good thing, even glorified? So, he reached out to John and Rob to talk it through. Who believes in racing often? Is there a way to run a race without racing? Do they just bicker and talk over each other? All those questions and more are answered! As always, thank you to our patrons! Now, get out there and #bebettertoday!

This is the longest FMC podcast to date, so get ready for over 2 hours of awesomeness! Episode 37 kicks off with Pete and Gretchen giving a heartfelt thank you to Rob Bozovich for his editing instruction. Pete would still be editing episode 35 if it wasn’t for him. Thank you, Rob! After sharing a story of one of Gretchen’s superfans, the couple recaps their week. They also catch you up on a conversation with Peter Bilarczyk, who offered a free coaching session after they interviewed him in episode 29. The rest of the episode is all about Pete’s interview with fellow Sub-30 Club member, Susan Heard. Susan lost her son, David, to cancer in February 2011. As you can imagine, Susan struggled for years before deciding to live life. Since then, Susan has become a runner, triathlete, and advocate for families coping with cancer and the grieving process. Susan’s story is heartfelt, heartbreaking, inspiring, and, ultimately, uplifting. Her outlook on life and the story of David’s legacy is something you will not want to miss!

Episode 34 is back to Pete and Gretchen sharing an update on what is happening in their lives. Gretchen’s “Views from the Couch” and Pete’s training are the big topics early. Pete gives a few shout outs to those who had races the week before and goes into how heat hurt their friend, Kevin, at the Lincoln Marathon. He finishes and shows what grit is all about. Also, if you want to hear Rob Bozovich’s marathon recap, give it a listen here on Endurance for Everyone. Then the topic shifts to a negative review the couple received. They give their response and Pete may get a little passionate. They invite honest reviews but ask that their kids are not a part of them. Finally, within the context of the review, they talk about an interview with Dr. Michael Gervais on the Pursuit with Purpose podcast. Dr. Gervais talks about FOPO – Fear of Other People’s Opinions – and how that impacts their lives.

Episode 32 is different in a few ways. First, Gretchen isn’t there from the start. Life sometimes gets in the way and their toddler didn’t cooperate. She shows up later, but, since the episodes are so close together, no #viewsfromthecouch. Settle in though because this is a LONG episode. There’s also no wine. Seriously, what is wrong with them? Well, here’s the deal… Rob Bozovich, the co-host of the Endurance for Everyone podcast, joins Pete and Gretchen, so the show had to get going! Rob was kind enough to be there from the start and help guide Pete through his race in review. The first 40 minutes plus of the show are all about Pete’s incredible half-marathon at the Illinois Marathon in Champaign-Urbana, IL. He was emotional from the get go and he talks about why. Overall, the race went really well and there are a lot of details here. A written race report is coming soon because, even after all that time, he didn’t fully capture everything that happened. Somewhere in there Gretchen joins and she’s around for the 40-minute conversation with Rob. They talk about Rob’s start in running and triathloning (is that a word??), as well as the fact that he’s a pretty big guy despite, in his words, being the runt of the litter in his family. Rob’s dedication to improving in all aspects of his athletic endeavors is incredible. We think you’ll find him as inspirational as we do!

Bryan and Peter check in on the latest happenings. Bryan is back to walking stadiums and cheering for Artist-in-Residence Andrea Bonney Gould as she makes her triumphant return to running. Peter continues training for the BAA 5K and possibly running a shoe store out of his office. Then, the HWYRT guys join Ironman Certified Coach John Harris and athlete Rob Bozovich on their Endurance for Everyone podcast. They talk about how Bryan and Peter got started in podcasting, the challenge of endurance racing, the pull of the running community, and why runners make the best triathletes. Plus, destination races! And, a chance to win some AMAZING prizes during Vinnie Cent's "A Streak to Remember" challenge.

A coaching client and long time friend of the show and blog, Rob Bozovich, sits in this week with John to discuss Mental Sabotage in training and racing; what it is, how to recognize it, and ways to avoid it. Also, some discussion about the difference between exercising and training, exercise addiction, the Endurance Athlete Triad, and using metrics in training.  Make sure to get your order in for #teamE4E Gear at Squad Locker. The store opens for limited time periods and closes before items are completed and shipped. Get the word out about the team and the show by going to https://teamlocker.squadlocker.com/#/lockers/63803?_k=hkwni4 and ordering in the next 10 days to get your gear by the end of August.

Still diving into the TrainingPeaks numbers and how to use them in training. This week we look at Chronic Training Load (CTL), how it is calculated, and how to use them when setting up a training plan. Rob Bozovich sent us an interesting email concerning Di2 builds and how to save some money on them, which Randy is always happy to look into, and then we talk about a list of the top ten current live bands, just for something different. This week's music comes to us from the parrothead himself, Mr. Jimmy Buffett, with "Breathe In Breathe Out Move On" (a lesson we could all use), and a little rocker from the master Joan Jett with her cover of Springsteen's "Light of Day"/ Make sure to visit www.konaswimbikerun and www.stpeterunningco.com if you are in the Tampa/St. Pete area and let them know you heard about them on the show!! 

Rob is a longtime listener and supporter of the show going back to the IM Year One day and into my solo work recently. Always will give input and a fresh perspective, I figured it was about time to have him actually ON the show since he just finished a 70.3 and all. I could honestly talk to Rob all night, so we will have to have him on once again. Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease the volume. On Saturday, October 10th, Rob will also be involved in race entering its 5th year, a 5K FLAT course with Nice T-Shirts and a Fall Festival/Car show to attend after. Fall? What’s that?? Anyway, follow the link to sign up and support the masses. Clearfield Pumpkin Run
