With insights rooted in science and real-world applications, he not only reveals the secrets behind this method but also shares practical tips for coaches and athletes alike. Get ready to elevate your coaching game as we explore the principles that are reshaping the world of endurance training, with application to athletes at all levels. Brad Culp is a sports journalist, former Editor-in-Chief of Triathlete Magazine, Media Manager of the International Triathlon Union, and LAVA magazine, the official publication of the IRONMAN triathlon series.

“I want athletes to have success. I want companies to have success, and I want race directors to have success,” shares Eric Wynn, the president of Slowtwitch, an influential platform for endurance athletes. He joins Brad Miles in this episode to share his journey from being a casual user of Slowtwitch to eventually leading the platform, which has now become a go-to resource for the triathlon community.   Eric introduces the Tri Team Portal, which is designed to improve communication and engagement for endurance teams and offers a much-needed alternative to platforms like Facebook. How will this portal change the way teams connect? And why does Slowtwitch focus so much on supporting smaller businesses and maintaining a space of integrity? If you're wondering what the future holds for endurance sports communities, Eric offers some great insights into how Slowtwitch is working to lead the way.   Quotes “One of the things we have is this crazy, cool online forum community that started 23 years ago by Dan Anfield. It's this really cool community where people are able to gather and share information.” (06:28 | Eric Wynn) “At the end of the day, Dan is very analytical. He's not very digital. He's very hands-on. And I am not that analytical, I'm very visual. And so, I felt like I brought that to Slowtwitch from a storytelling perspective.” (10:20 | Eric Wynn) “We started this company called Slowtwitch Media House, which is essentially a digital agency centered around the mission to make sure that smaller companies are able to flourish inside the endurance space.” (11:06 | Eric Wynn)  “I feel like I've had success. I want athletes to have success. I want companies to have success, and I want race directors to have success. Because to me, it's where I find a lot of peace and joy, which is odd because it's a very selfish space. I really enjoy what we're able to do in this environment.” (13:12 | Eric Wynn) “We're going to launch this before all the teams really get settled into communicating with their team members for 2025. We're super pumped because it's a huge driver for us. More people on the site means the community can grow, more people can look for information in the forum, and new users can contribute. They can do so in an environment where they feel safe until they venture into the actual forum itself.” (40:22 | Eric Wynn)   Connect with Eric Wynn: https://www.instagram.com/slowtwitch/  https://slowtwitch.com/ Links https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/  https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

The first half of the IRONMAN World Championships have come and gone. We go in-depth with our man on the ground from Nice, and newest member of the Slowtwitch family, Brad Williams. Expo, venue, behind the scenes, Sam Laidlow's win, broadcast -- it's all here in this week's episode.

You've no doubt heard Josh mention Slowtwitch.com many times on this show.  It's one of the key places he goes to share ideas and get feedback. But Slowtwitch is more than just a place. It's a person too. The site was founded by Dan Empfield in 1999, and remains publisher to this day.  But before Slowtwitch even existed, Dan was a competitor. He did his first Triathlon in 1978 and competed in the first Ironman Kona in 1981. You may also know Dan as the man behind Quintana Roo. That stack and reach thing we all use now: that came from Dan's work. We get into all of that and more with our guest this episode:Tri Hall of Famer, Slowtwitch founder and Publisher Dan Empfield   

Hosted by Ryan & Eric, The Slowtwitch Podcast is the latest addition to our coverage. Guests or not each episode will be wide-ranging conversations while staying true to the ethos of Slowtwitch: fiercely independent and authentic. Episodes will release weekly on Thursdays and be available on your favorite streaming services.

A picture is worth a thousand words but it never tells teh who story. Photography is art. It's a wonderful way to feel something or someplace. The process. The grit, elation, and let down--the smell in the van or the texture of the rock. Climbing, endurance, and adventure photography has room for a narrative. Story told from behind the lense helps us go there without going there, yet. Eric Wynn has been an industry leading photographer and film maker in the realm of endurance sport for over 20 years, and now he owns Slowtwitch.com In the world of triathlon, Slowtwitch is the gold-standard for news, classifieds, and community dialogue. This is the first installment of a mini-series "The Story Behind the Lens". I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/andrew-fast/support

Everyone needs a little summer break, even podcast hosts! So this week we are re-posting this excellent episode with physical therapist Chloe Murdock from fall 2020. Enjoy! It happens. You sneeze, cough, or laugh…and leak. Or you can barely get your key in the door without wetting yourself. It's common, but not normal…or necessary. This week, pelvic floor specialist Chloë Murdock, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS offers solutions to the incontinence that can happen during menopause. And, spoiler alert, there's more to it than Kegels—in fact, in some cases they can make it worse. Chloë explains that there's more to your core than your abs and obliques and how muscle imbalances and weaknesses in key parts of your core, which includes your pelvic floor, can lead to leaking, especially in active women. She talks about the importance of deep breathing and other exercises to improve pelvic health, decrease stress, and help stop incontinence. She is a doctor of physical therapy, a Slowtwitch and BikeFit certified bike fitter, as well as a Board Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist, NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and USATF level 1 and RRCA certified running coach based in Zurich, Switzerland.

In this episode: Nutrition is often referred to as the fourth discipline of triathlon and for good reason but there are so many things that can contribute to undoing the best laid plans for a well fed race.On this episode of the podcast I am joined by Patrick Wilson PhD who has done a lot of research on how mental state can play a major role in affecting how the gut reacts during a race. We talk about anxiety and its potential impact on having a successful race. In addition, Dan Empfield, the inventor of the triathlon specific wetsuit, the first triathlon TT bike and the mind behind Slowtwitch joins me for a conversation about his journey through our sport and all the ways that he has made contributions.

Welcome to episode thirty-six of the Low Tide Boyz, a Swimrun Podcast!On the show this week we are talking with George Bjälkemo and Pontus Lindberg of Kraken Swimrun to chat about their epic 3-day Swimrun Adventure covering the entire Stockholm Archipelago. Yes, you heard that right. A total distance of 242km while traversing 79 islands in just 42 hours! George and Pontus are also the reigning Ötillö World Champs and just super cool dudes. More on all this later in the show.  Training UpdateOur training plans are ramping up now that we are just two months away from Ödyssey Swimrun Austin race on November 8, 2020. There will be lots of Swimrunning in the near future as we dial in our technique after not racing since early March.A quick reminder that we want to see you at the race with us! We’ll be the guys in the back of the race. Need some added incentive? Use the code LOWTIDEBOYZ and save 25% of your entry. Shout OutsThis week we’re shouting out Justin. We’ve known Justin for years and he got hooked on Swimrun at the Sprint distance race at Ötillö Catalina. He sent us some lovely feedback on the show and we really appreciate him taking the time to do that.Feats of Endurance Weekly AwardOur award this week goes out to Nuno. He raced Swimrun Zêzere over the weekend and it did nothing to help our FOMO for not being able to be there are chatting with the race director last week.Congrats and thanks for being part of our Strava Club community.This Week in SwimrunA lot of folks were riding the good vibes from the Ötillö Sprint Final 15k race in Utö and jumped into races this past weekend.Västerås Swimrun took place in Björnön, Sweden. The race was capped at 150 participants and similar to other events in Sweden, the race started in waves of 50 athletes at a time. Apparently, they had two Djs on the course blasting beats! There were some pretty funny team names as well including “Team Cold Soups and Abrasions,” “Team Half Decent Sea Lions,” “Team Latina Lovers,” and our personal favorite “Team Chips on the Couch & Cream on the Waffle.” (Honorable mention: “Team Earth, Wind & Water”)Breca Jersey went down on Saturday on the island of Jersey. Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands located between England and France. This 20K race looked very epic based on our in-depth Instagram research. Dare I say that this race has been added to our already very long bucket list.Finally, Zêzere Swimrun looked like a blast on the Zêzere River in Portugal. The event had two distances: Standard (31k) and Sprint (14.7k). We had Race Director Bruno Safara on the show last week and we can’t help but root for him as he grows the sport in Portugal.We’re pretty sure that we may have missed some events. Send us an email at lowtideboyz@gmail.com and tip us off if there’s a race that you are doing and we’ll do our best to include it.LTBz UpdatesOur latest column in Triathlete Magazine, “What’s the best ‘Full Spec’ Swimrun Kit?,” is out on the digital newsstands now! Check it out and let us know if you agree with our choices for the best top of the line kit choices in all the main categories. We got some new merch in the works so make sure that you check out our website for the latest in LTBz apparel and stickers. InterviewThe interview this week is just epic. George Bjälkemo and Pontus Lindberg of Kraken Swimrun are reigning World Champs and elite athletes. You would think that would be enough to get them on the show. We didn’t even talk to them about that because they came on to talk about their journey traversing the entire Stockholm Archipelago. This conversation is all about how they decided that since the Otillo World Championship wasn’t happening this year that they would embark on an “Ultra Swimrun Adventure.” And what an adventure it was! We chatted with them about how they came up with the idea, why they decided to do this, how the event almost got derailed because they couldn’t find a boat driver, and finally, we get their “race report” breakdown on how each day went. This interview covered a lot of ground (figuratively for us) and hearing from George and Pontus about this feat was a lot of fun.Here’s a detailed breakdown of their Kraken Ultra Swimrun Adventure’s stats:They started in Arholma at dawn on Friday 28 August and reached Landsort at dusk on Sunday 30 August, covering in tot: 242 km (150 miles), 79 islands, in 42 hrs.Stage 1: Arholma-Landsort, 12 hrs, 80 km (16,000 m swim/ 64 km run) [49.7 miles total], 32 islands.

Welcome to episode thirty-four of the Low Tide Boyz, a Swimrun Podcast!On the show this week we Herbert Krabel. Co-race director of Swimrun NC and Editor of Slowtwitch. This was a fun, wide-ranging interview that we will chat more about later. Training UpdateOur training plans went sideways this past week due to forest fires in Northern California. We’ve had to stay indoors because of the poor air quality so there wasn’t too much training action that wasn’t on something stationary.Our thoughts are with all the folks that have been evacuated from their homes (including Chris’s parents) and those working day and night to fight these fires and help those in need.Shout OutsThis week we’re giving prospective shoutouts to a bunch of current and former Ötillö World Champions that are plaining on swimming and running the entire Stockholm Archipelago in three days. That’s 150K of trail running and about 50K of swimming or basically one Ötillö World Championship each day. George Bjalkemo, Pontus Lindberg, Kristin Larsson, and Annica Ericsson are the four athletes doing this. We will try to get them on the show to talk about this feat and ask the key questions: What? Why? What?!Feats of Endurance Weekly AwardThis week’s award is going out to Trista and Amy of Team Adorkable. They’ve definitely been embodying the spirit of this award all Summer with their feats putting in some serious mileage including a “secret” 50-mile trail run on a 1.5-mile loop last week! Keep it up, ladies! This Week in SwimrunAs far as we could tell, there were three Swimrun events last weekend (August 22-23) including an Ötillö Merit Race in France. The photos looked great for all three events and definitely gave us some major FOMO. We would like to apologize in advance for butchering the pronunciations.Skatås Sjöar Swimrun on August 22nd featured a 10km and 15km events. This event took place just outside of Gothenburg and definitely looked like it had a cool community vibe from all the photos that we saw on Instagram.Immeln Swimrun in Immeln Sweden took place on August 22nd and featured a short (15km) and long (37km) course options. This race is put on by A to Be Events which we think is an awesome name for a Swimrun race company.Swimrunman Great Lakes of Laffrey by HEAD in Laffrey France took place on August 23rd. Nothing like some swimrunning in the French Alps! The event featured Sprint (14.75km), Classic (22.1km), and Vertical Ötillö Merit race (30.6km) distances. The merit race looked particularly intense with the race finishing with a run-up to the top of Alpe Du Grand Serre.If we missed any races or you want to tip us off to a future race that you want us to include, send us an email at lowtideboyz@gmail.com and we’ll make sure to include it.LTBz UpdatesKeep sending in your submissions for our “International Swimrun Adventure Guide.” We got a bunch of entries and we’re almost ready to start putting something up on our site. As a reminder, If you have a great training route that you don’t want to keep secret you can head over to our website and fill out the form on our homepage.We’re going to have a couple of open water swim coaches from Tower 26 on the podcast in a few weeks and we’re going to this as an “Ask the Coaches” episode. Submit your open water swim questions to us via email or DM and we’ll get them asked on the show.We just launched our Swimrun Gear Guide! This guide covers everything you need to get started doing swimrun, well for the gear portion at least. InterviewIt’s safe to say there is no one who has spread the gospel about Swimrun in the United States and beyond as much as Herbert Krabel has over the years. He has down pretty much every type of endurance event that there is to do including being a pro mountain bike racer for a while. When he found Swimrun, he was instantly hooked. We had a great wide-ranging conversation and we think you’ll enjoy it.In this interview, we chat about Herbert’s athletic background, how he found triathlon, and then Swimrun. He recalled for us his first Swimrun race, Ötillö Engadin, and how that went. We spoke at length about Swimrun NC, his role as co-race director, and how that race has developed over the years. We also talk about the growth of Swimrun in the United States, what makes a good race, and what the future looks like.You can follow Herbert on Instagram and read his articles on Slowtwitch.That’s it for this week’s show.

Tom Anhalt was one of the first to turn conventional wisdom regarding inflation on its head. He is a smart guy. No doubt. But his true talent is curiosity. In this episode we learn that questioning the norm and having an open mind can lead to more than just marginal gains but to revelations.  Tom Anhalt runs the blog site, blather ‘bout bikes where he does deep dive posts on tire comparisons, bike aerodynamics and most importantly: rolling resistance. He is also a regular contributor to Slowtwitch.com.

In this episode, Colin and Elliot interview Team Every Man Jack member, Sean Hale. They discuss is multisport upbringing, training life, Zwift racing, Slowtwitch group rides, race experiences, and more! Enjoy!

More than 350,000 athletes have heard his iconic pronouncement, “You are an IRONMAN!” as they crossed the finish line and accomplished something most of us can hardly imagine. Every one of those athletes has a story, and Reilly has heard hundreds of them. Ever passionate about the sport and its participants, he listened closely as they poured out remarkable tales that illuminate the human capacity for triumphing over seemingly insurmountable obstacles.   Mike Reilly Website   Sponsor - Halo Neuroscience: Our post interview discussion is sponsored by Halo Neuroscience.

Post Interview Discussion: Other notable stories from the book that were not discussed in the interview: Mike Reilly's fall - page 185 Madison 2015 2001 False Start - page 26 Kona 2001 General impressions of the book and interview   Endurance News: Lauren Goss, professional triathlete suspended for six months for too-high levels of THC. @laurengoss With a heavy heart, I have to announce that I will not be racing Saturday at the IM 70.3 World Championships. In fact, I am somewhat forced to end my career racing as a professional athlete. I just accepted a 6 month suspension for testing positive for THC, a substance found in the CBD cream I was using to treat an ankle injury for over a month twice a day. The cream was tested and had more THC than it stated on the container. If anything, this should be eye opening for athletes who also use CBD to treat injuries. I am extremely depressed, nervous, and unsure of what I will do next. I was immediately terminated from my main sponsor leaving me really no option to return to racing. I do though have the support from a few of my other sponsors if I do decide to race again in 2020. I take full responsibility for using the CBD cream knowing it had THC in it. However, I really did not think anything of it as it is so mainstream now, especially in Boulder. Also, I do not believe it is in any way performance enhancing.   Thank you to everyone who has supported me and followed my journey for the past 9 years. Triathlon taught me so much and brought me more than I ever would have imagined when I started in 2010. I have no regrets and I hope to pass down everything I learned to the next generation.   And now the chapter is closed. On to new challenges. Thank you   Slowtwitch   If this person was using CBD oil, certain brands have THC. Floyd's of Leadville has THC. If you use something like IKOR (who actually sponsors athletes), it is THC free. I do not know about other brands, only these two, because of their wide availability in my area as the major players sold. Never did THC / pot but seems those I've seen who have, makes them sorta a little chill (you don't want too chill during a race).       "What's New in the 303": Rich's report on Major League Triathlon AvonFest and Buff Classic Ride: Major League Triathlon in Avon September 6-8. Major League Triathlon is the first and only professional triathlon league in the United States. The best male and female athletes in the world compete against each other in a unique swim-bike-run team event. Held in major cities across the US, MLT pros compete in pop-up “stadiums”, allowing for a viewer experience unlike anything before seen in sport. Major League Triathlon is more than just a race; it’s a show. MLT teams feature 2 Pro men and 2 Pro women racing the Super Sprint Mixed Team Relay Format at every event stop. Each athlete will complete a 300 meter swim, 4 mile looped bike course, and 1 mile run before tagging off to their teammate. First team to have all four athletes across the line wins. About the venue Race formats Participants Course Feedback   Buff Bicycle Classic in Boulder, CO September 8 The Buffalo Bicycle Classic dates back to 2003, having raised over 3.9 million dollars in support of student scholarships at CU Boulder. The students served by the BBC are some of Colorado’s brightest; each entering CU with over a 4.0 high school GPA. Our student scholars also demonstrate strong financial need, which makes this scholarship particularly important. Our $10,000 scholarship to these promising students makes higher education attainable. Through the generous support of our sponsors, volunteers and riders, we are able to make a difference in the lives of over 400 students in the last fourteen years.

In this Q&A episode of Marginal Gains, Josh answers questions about whether front and rear tires should have symmetric or asymmetric air pressure (and why). We dig into whether no-name Chinese handlebars and wheels are a good deal, or just cheap (and why). Josh analyzes the ongoing thread at Slowtwitch that shows little Crr difference between 23, 25, 28 and 32mm tires. Josh answers why pros are (still!) sticking with tubulars. And there's more. So much more (including — weirdly — that both Hottie and Fatty talk about how Silca and this podcast are beginning to affect their respective marriages).

Solos Smart Glasses - Our goal is to bring information about products like this to our audience and give them insights that they might not otherwise be able to find on their own. I've read some online comments and want to comment on a few of them. "I’m not sure that these Smart Glasses will help the wearer stay present, if they’re taking calls, checking email, social media etc." I've used them for a few weeks now. While you can receive or make a call, you can do that if you have your phone in your pocket anyway. You have the same choice to answer or not. If you do decide to answer it, you can do it without taking your hands off the handlebars or without looking at your phone, making it safer in my opinion. You can not check email or social media, so that comment is simply misinformed speculation. "Durability and long term reliability are my concerns like if dropped on accident, or cold rainy weather scenarios." I have to say that's a concern of mine as well. I am constantly dropping my glasses and I worry that I would do that with these. "Need a view from what's behind you and I would by them in a second!" Scott addressed this in the interview and it sounds like this is something that is on their roadmap, assuming it meets the "not distracting" test.

Click here for the full written transcript of this episode In this June 2, 2009 free audio episode: -Large athletic events often do not consider sustainability or resource depletion when creating or producing the event. Cost is normally a primary objective, with convenience and ease of implementation a close second. In this interview with Portland Triathlon race director Jeff Henderson, you'll be introduced to the concept of "Green" events, and how to actually have a triathlon, marathon or athletic event without destroying the planet. Click here to visit the Portland Triathlon website. Here are some snippets: ...In all cases local providers are given preference over regional or national sources. The necessary triathlon infrastructure (swim buoys, bike racks, etc) has been created from recycled or used materials whenever possible. Participants are asked to carpool, take public transportation, or ride their bikes to the race, with incentives provided for doing so... ...The Freshwater Trust Portland Triathlon was the first triathlon in the country to staff its medical tent with naturopathic doctors. The National College of Naturopathic Medicine provided care while highlighting this city's unique educational institution... ...Local and sustainable extend to food, as well. Organic produce is used for aid stations and pre-race, and locally sourced food is served at the post-race meal. Recycling and composting are integral.... Also in this podcast: -Magnesium Oil update: I just started my weekly soak in a 1:1 mixture of aluminum free baking soda from the grocery store and the 100% absorbable magnesium flakes from Ancient Minerals. My body feels amazing, and my joint soreness and "stale" legs have almost completely disappeared. I am augmenting this with a spray of magnesium oil on both arms prior to my workout, which I can immediately feel surging through my body. Click here to visit the website where I got this stuff, and also listen into Podcast #45 for the interview with Dr. Mark Sircus, which talks about how magnesium works and why magnesium works. I guarantee you'll become an instant expert on magnesium. If you find this information intriguing, and you as a coach, athlete or weekend warrior want to learn even more about the topic, Dr. Mark Sircus's impressive book  "Transdermal Magnesium Therapy"is available by clicking here. -Listener Q&A: Listener Nick calls in with a question on fast-twitch to slow-twitch muscle fiber conversion. Listener Chris asks: "With as much as Dr. Sircus talked about magnesium and magnesium deficiencies, I was surprised he didn't mention Vitamin D. Are you familiar with any of the recent research on Vitamin D and sports performance?" Click here for a link to the study mentioned in my response to Chris. Do you have a question? Remember, you can now ask your questions via *audio* to me via the free Skype software by simply "Skyping" me at username "pacificfit". You can also call toll free to 1-877-209-9439 and leave a voicemail for Ben Greenfield. -18 Ways to Help Your Body Bounce Back From An Injury Like Wolverine From X-Men: For about 4 or 5 bucks a day, you can actually vastly decrease the time that it takes for your body to heal. In this post, I tell you exactly which nutritional supplements and foods that you need to take if you are injured or experiencing inflammation. Click here to go there now - the post will take you 5 minutes to review and could add YEARS to your athletic longetivity. -You're not going to want to miss the action over at the Shape21 Lean Body Challenge website. Here is what some of the participants have to say, just 10 days into the 63 Day Fat Loss Contest using my nutrition/training manual (officially will be released on July 23, 2009): "Ben...I will not bother you much by email but I thought I would let you know that I am following the plan almost to the letter (except lunges...my knees can't take it) and getting LOTS of attention from the people around me.  I jumped the gun and started on the Monday BEFORE we were supposed to start (I swear I just missed the start date).  I walk an hour and a half per day because I am preparing for a 5K run.  The people around me are AMAZED at the changes.  It is the topic of conversation everywhere I go. I am not in this to win...I am doing it to change my life.  So far we are doing just that..." Maleah "Hey Ben! So far so good on shape21 lean body challenge....and 'frankly, im shocked! I loveeeeee it thus far and im suprised at just how much its kickin my butt, In a good way of course!  I'M loving the nutrition, its gotten me to eat more adventurously. The foam roller has become my best friend; those sprint intervals are killer...thanks!" Em "I bought all the food, started working out a week ago (Tuesday) , a little hard to fit in schedule but trying and just love the menu! I have lost 8 lbs in 7 days and getting used to the workout.(had Jabba The Hut as role model before) and not getting in as much circuits per day as desired but working my  4 Am to 7 Pm schedule is sorta tough.( about half the circuits or rather, workouts when get home). I started at 243 and now at 235. I am 51 years old, 5'10" and not really fat but BP was 150/92 and now 136/91 so progress happening. Goal is  190 . The food is really great and my girlfriend will graduate Az School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Tucson August so she knows all that herbal stuff and Tai Chi, Chi Gong, etc. She likes the menu when I cooked for her last weekend so I think  I am ALL in for the 63 days." Jay "I love all the strength training!  I love how it's short, tough, and always something new.  The book really explains each exercise well and the pictures make it easy to follow. I heart the Cinnamon-Banana shake... it's so delicious, especially on these hot days we've been having!  I also really enjoyed the homemade dressing for the strawberry spinach salad.  Yummy hummus recipe too...I'm proud of myself for taking my supplements regularly, I haven't always been consistent with that in the past.  Also, from a fitness standpoint, I've PR'd both races I've done since starting the challenge.  I feel like I'm healthier, stronger, and lighter." Jessi "My favorite exercise was the lunges and the overall routine workouts.  The workouts seemed to go fast and I was still very tired/sore at the end of them. My favorite food was the lettuce wraps but also want to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the menu.  Everything was good and relatively easy to prepare.  From my past eating habits I would not have guessed that I would have liked any of it...I was very happy with each meal.  I was most surprised that I stuck to it for a week.  I started the week at 203.4 and ended the week at 196.8 for a total loss of 6.6 pounds.  I have never lost that much in a week before.  I was most surprised by the fact that I was not starving and by about day 4 I did not have the huge ups and downs in blood sugar.  Even when I missed a meal for a while I did not feel like I was going to pass out and felt a lot more even throughout the day."
