This week I'm thrilled to be talking with Allegra Goodman, author of numerous novels including her newest, “Isola,” which was a Reese's book club selection, and her first, “Katterskill Falls,” which was a National Book Award finalist. Allegra also wrote two story collections, “The Family Markowitz” and “Total Immersion,” as well as a novel for younger readers, “The Other Side of the Island.” Allegra's fiction has appeared in “The New Yorker” and has been anthologized in “O. Henry Awards” and “Best American Short Stories.” She was raised in Honolulu and now lives with her family in Cambridge, Mass. We covered: - Getting published for the first time as a freshman in college by an encouraging editor who “discovered” her - How it's a love of writing, and not a drive to be published, that will sustain you over the long-term - Learning to build patience and endurance when going from writing short stories to writing novels - Her case for setting very low daily writing goals - Why she doesn't ascribe to the “shitty first draft” school of thought - Her daily and weekly writing routines - How having grown children makes those routines possible - Why she only works on shorter pieces one day per week - The specific times when she'll listen to a podcast—and when she'll choose to keep her ears podcast-free - The nightly ritual that helps her get started on work the next day - How non-digital activities feed her creative process - The benefits and mechanics of writing two books at the same time Connect with Allegra on Instagram @allegragoodmanwriter.

Today I talked to Alegra Goodman about her novel Isola (The Dial Press, 2025) After Marguerite is orphaned as a young girl, her guardian leaves her alone in her family's enormous home, where servants see to her needs until he hires a mother and daughter to tutor her in the ways of wealthy 16th century lords and ladies. The guardian sells her home and spends her fortune, betting on an expedition to New France (now known as Canada). The guardian insists that she accompany him, only with her old maid. Afraid and lonely, Marguerite befriends her guardian's secretary and falls in love with him, but the guardian learns of it and abandons her, her maid, and his secretary on a deserted island. Marguerite is forced to learn survival skills in this tale based on a true story. Allegra Goodman's novels include Isola (2025), Sam (a Read With Jenna Book Club selection), The Chalk Artist (winner of the Massachusetts Book Award), Intuition, The Cookbook Collector, Paradise Park, and Kaaterskill Falls (a National Book Award finalist). Her fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and elsewhere and has been anthologized in The O. Henry Awards and Best American Short Stories. She has written two collections of stories, The Family Markowitz and Total Immersion and a novel for younger readers, The Other Side of the Island. Her essays and reviews have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and The American Scholar. Raised in Honolulu, Goodman studied English and philosophy at Harvard and received a PhD in English literature from Stanford.

Hint, it's not the stroke. It's F.A.S.S.T. Setup (Rich): Swimming 101 in college, private in-pool lessons, professional assessments with video and coaches (eg, Swim Labs), reading books, Total Immersion, the pro in the lane next - these are all some of the ways that I tried to improve my swimming technique and form. In July of 2022, I was invited to Dallas with the TriDot coaches at that time to pilot the TriDot Pool School. This was a program that had been in development for years and the coaches were going to be the students/subjects. The greatest problems to overcome are drag and balance. At the core of the program is the foundation of the swim position that occurs between strokes. In fact, this program spends 90% of its focus on that position between strokes and maybe 10% on the stroke itself. We are going to introduce the components of this position which we affectionately call F.A.S.S.T. Fingers flat and forward Arm stretched straight Shoulders and hips at 45 degrees Spine aligned from tail to crown with head facing down Thumb to thigh with palm to sky To really learn the FASST method, it helps to have long blade fins, snorkel and nose clips. Here are some links to what I generally suggest and are common at the pool schools. Amazon.com : Speedo Unisex-Adult Swim Training Fins : Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com : Speedo unisex adult Swim Training Bullet Head diving snorkels, Shocking Lime, One Size US : Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com : TYR Ergo Swimclip - Black : Nose Plugs : Sports & Outdoors The nose clips are to keep water out of your nose while using the snorkel. Get Gritty Tip: The Power of a Misogi Challenge What if you did something so difficult, so uncertain, that there was a real chance you might fail? That's the essence of *Misogi*—an ancient Japanese practice redefined by modern thinkers as a way to push boundaries, build resilience, and redefine what's possible. The rule? Pick a challenge so big and audacious that there's at least a 50% chance you won't succeed. It should be something far outside your comfort zone, forcing you to confront your limits—and then go beyond them. For multi-sport athletes, a *Misogi* isn't just about physical endurance. It's about mental toughness, adaptability, and proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you think. Maybe it's your first ultra-distance event, a self-supported adventure, or a challenge that removes the usual metrics and expectations. For the everyday human? A *Misogi* might mean committing to something that genuinely scares you—signing up for a triathlon when you don't see yourself as an athlete, tackling a project at work that feels beyond your skillset, or even showing up in a space where imposter syndrome tells you you don't belong. Here's the truth: You don't grow by doing what you already know you can do. Growth happens when you face uncertainty and decide to take the leap anyway. So, what's *your* Misogi for 2025? TriDot Workouts of the Week: To kickoff our February theme on swimming, let's start with a TriDot Swim workout. Since this is an Assessment Week for both April and I, we thought we'd share the Critical Swim Speed assessment. We'll explain what the session is, how to pace it for your best results, how to calculate your Critical Swim Speed and how to track your progress. Warmup 4 x 25 Kicking With or Without Fins (15 sec) 4 x 25 FASST with Breathing (15 sec) 4 x 25 Pinocchio-Glove (15 sec) 4 x 25 FASST-1-FASST (15 sec) 4 x 25 Finger-Tip Drag Drill (15 sec) 4 x 25 Full Stroke Swimming Build to Z4 (15 sec) Main Set 200 swim starting slow and gradually building pace from Z2 to Z4 for final 50; rest 2 min 1. Perform a 400 time trial effort from a push (not dive). 2. Recover for 10 to 15 minutes with easy swimming and rest. 3. Perform a 200 time trial effort from a push. Be sure to count your laps correctly. Your 400 time should not be faster than twice your 200 time. Balance of time @ Z2 with excellent form Be sure to enter/confirm your assessment results to update your training intensities and race projections. Cool Down Balance of time @ Z2 and/or repeat warm up drills as time permits. How to calculate your CSS? Critical Swim Speed (CSS) is a measure of a swimmer's aerobic capacity and is calculated using the following formula: CSS (m/sec) = 200 / (time taken for 400m – time taken for 200m). CSS in meters per second can also be calculated using the following formula: CSS (m/sec) = (D2 - D1) ÷ (T2 - T1), where D1 = 50, D2 = 400, T1 = time for 50m swim in seconds and T2 = time for 400m swim in seconds. Swimming fast can be simplified into a physics equation: (S)peed = Stroke (L)ength x Stroke (R)ate. How to track your CSS? Use TriDot and let it do it automatically. Plus keep a SwimDot score of your percentile ranking, normalized and banded to show you against your peers. Keep a spreadsheet and build this formula into it. We are happy to email you the CSS Logbook which includes a way to track what your 400 and 200 paces were, the ratio between the two and more. Simply go to the G2G Contact Us Page and send with the subject line CSS and we will get that right over to you. Guess what, Rich! It's that special time of the show where we have some fun as I take you through some fun and maybe, “not-so fun dilemmas.” It's time for…! Today's Fun Segment: Like It, Love It, or Leave It! (Pool Edition) How It Works: You give your guest three pool-related training experiences. They must "Like It" (it's fine), "Love It" (can't get enough), or "Leave It" (never again!) by assigning one to each category. 1. Lane Etiquette Dilemmas Swimming with someone who constantly touches your feet Circle swimming with five strangers in a lane Getting stuck behind a slow swimmer with no passing room 2. Swim Gear Struggles Goggles that fog up mid-set A swim cap that keeps slipping off Wearing a wetsuit in the pool for “race simulation” 3. Pool Training Drills Endless kickboard drills Hypoxic breathing sets (fewer breaths per lap) Sighting practice in the pool (aka, looking like a dolphin) 4. Post-Swim Realities Smelling like chlorine for the rest of the day That intense hunger that hits 10 minutes after getting out Wet hair dripping down your back no matter how well you towel off 5. Annoying Pool Habits The person who sprints past you, then immediately slows down Mid-lane conversations that block the wall when you're trying to turn Someone doing butterfly in a crowded lane 6. Swim Set Preferences 10x100s on a tight interval A long, slow continuous swim IM (individual medley) even though you're only here for freestyle 7. Unexpected Pool Hazards That mystery warm spot in the water Hairballs floating toward you mid-lap The moment your goggles snap right before the main set Closing: Thanks again for listening 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! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!

One rainy night after a festival, Bobby and his friend spotted a hot pink parachute left in a park. As water skiers wanting a parachute for para-skiing, they decided to take it. Bobby climbed a tall tree to cut it down but fell 25–30 feet.During the fall, Bobby experienced what he believes was a near-death experience, finding himself in a peaceful, divine light free from physical burdens. Meanwhile, his panicked friend revived him by pounding on his chest, bringing him back to life.Later diagnosed with a concussion, Bobby couldn't recall the fall but discovered similar near-death experiences in books, leaving him convinced he may have briefly died.

In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale discusses the benefits of making time to immerse oneself in the Word of God, especially when fighting the good fight of faith for healing. When we make the effort to plant ourselves in the Word - rather than simply visiting it - we can expect to flourish.

You must have a plan to succeed in your real estate business. Going into it blindly will set you up for failure; of course, this is something you want to avoid. Listen to this episode of "The Real Estate Sales Podcast" to help you develop a strategic plan of action to thrive in the changing market. Host Jimmy Burgess emphasizes that the best in the is yet to come and provides a comprehensive approach to ensure continued success and growth. Let's dive into the key points and actionable steps outlined by Jimmy. Believe in Possibilities Jimmy stresses the importance of belief in one's potential and the possibilities for success in the real estate business. He encourages realtors to observe others who have achieved greater success, acknowledging that belief influences actions, prompting individuals to pursue uncomfortable tasks confidently in future results. Educate for Success Jimmy highlights education as a crucial component of success. He prompts real estate professionals to enhance their skills, knowledge, and understanding of the market to align with their beliefs and improve the chances of achieving desired outcomes. Take Action Taking action is vital, and Jimmy advises against waiting for the perfect moment. He encourages realtors to take steps, expressing that momentum builds as actions are initiated. Control Your Schedule Jimmy underlines the significance of purposeful scheduling, outlining the value of time-blocking for prospecting, learning, and client follow-ups. Taking control of one's schedule is foundational to advancing a real estate business. Identify and Serve Ideal Clients Understanding and identifying ideal clients is critical in providing valuable services. Jimmy emphasizes the importance of studying ideal clients, learning about their preferences, and seeking to add value to their lives. Differentiate with Unique Value Proposition Real estate professionals must define their unique value proposition to set themselves apart from the competition. Jimmy explains the significance of differentiating oneself as the obvious choice for potential clients. Total Immersion in Client's World Real estate professionals are encouraged to immerse themselves in their ideal client's world, participating in activities and clubs where their clients are present. This strategy facilitates building strong connections and understanding client needs, thus enhancing the ability to provide specific and valuable services. Try and Host Open Houses Jimmy advocates for trying various business activities and actively hosting open houses. He highlights that open houses engage potential buyers and sellers and provide insights and opportunities for building a client database. Create Systems for Follow-up Establishing a robust follow-up system to ensure no leads fall through the cracks is essential in converting potential leads into successful business transactions. Jimmy emphasizes the need for consistent follow-up through various communication channels. Overcome Setbacks Dealing with setbacks is part of the real estate business, and Jimmy advises facing challenges head-on, maintaining a forward-moving mindset, and consistently adding value to the market. Make Calls and Commit to Consistent Effort Create a habit of making real estate-related calls. Jimmy highlights the direct correlation between these conversations and business transactions. Immerse in Business for 90 Days Jimmy suggests dedicating 90 days to going all-in on one's real estate business, focusing on outbound calls, client understanding, and content production. Jimmy's strategic plan provides a roadmap for realtors to thrive in the current market and surpass previous levels of success, ensuring the best is indeed yet to come. Embrace a higher level of action, continuously improve your skills, and take steps to enhance client service. These actions will help you see the results you want in your business. "The people that overcome anything that this business throws at them, that keep moving forward, that keep adding value, that keep finding ways to bring value to the marketplace, are going to be the people that will have a future that is brighter than their past." - Jimmy Burgess.

ON this week's podcast, Southern Star editor Siobhán Cronin speaks to Melissa Duncan – a 'total immersion' expert and fellow sea swimming fanatic – about a shared love of the sea, building her own swimming pool, and some well-known West Cork names she has coached along the way.Swimming became a lifeline for many during the pandemic, and so many have kept it going, which has left Ireland with a really strong and wonderful community.Over the next few months, we will feature interviews with prominent figures in the swimming scene, from both West Cork and beyond.Total immersion is a technique that involves running through swim strokes in a similar fashion to yoga, with the aim being to move through the water more efficiently. Melissa Duncan has been one of the biggest proponents of the technique in Ireland and joins the podcast to chat about the benefits of adapting to it.Duncan runs The Swim Studio – Ireland's first total immersion swim coaching studio to be located in Ireland.Follow along with Siobhán's latest blog post, where she writes about getting ready for those organised summer swims, by clicking here.This episode was produced and presented by Siobhán Cronin, with editing by Dylan Mangan.***Thanks for listening to The Southern Star's In The News Podcast.

If you want to make big changes in your life, then a lot of things in your life are going to have to change. The problem is that most people do not like to change things! Most people have big lofty goals but want to change as little as possible. So today, I'm going to offer up an alternative way of doing things, something I call “total immersion.” The post 117. The Power of Total Immersion appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.
Lloyd Henry likes to go big or go home. Thanks to a dare from his sister, Lloyd embarked on a triathlon journey that has brought him to 27 Ironman and long course finishes, the first African-American to finish an Ironman on 6 continents and the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Today, Lloyd Henry is not only an accomplished athlete, he is also a coach, helping other athletes learn to accept the challenges that come their way. As a coach, Lloyd specializes in form and technique with a special emphasis on Total Immersion swimming, ChiRunning and ChiWalking. He has helped clients learn to swim, improve their stroke, compete in a triathlon, move from the couch to a 5k, finish their first marathon, qualify for Boston and hear those famous words “You Are An Ironman.” Lloyd's story shares that you don't have to have experience or be an athlete to TRI. You just have to accept the challenge and begin! Listen or view to hear more of his story.

Dean and Paula explain several swimming drills that can be used to increase speed in the water. They make reference to the VeloPress book by Sheila Taormina called Swim Speed Secrets. The drills discussed include: sculling, streamline drill, press out, recovery drill, finish drill, hand entry drill, Tarzan drill, and vertical kicking. They also discuss Total Immersion, gliding, and the high-elbow catch. Also in this episode they discuss: the Mesa Marathon, Boston 2022, Yuko Gordon, and Changpeng Zhao. RyR is a team of runners and triathletes who receive comprehensive and customized coaching. The team name has dual meanings. The first is based in Hebrews 12:1 in which Christians are instructed to run the race set before us. In this context, RyR stands for Run your Race, with an emphasis on meeting you (the athlete) where you are and coming alongside you to help you reach your goals. The verse emphasizes patience, endurance, and perseverance. These qualities are essential for success as both athletes and coaches. The second meaning is based on the enduring friendship and marriage between the founding coaches, Dean and Paula Roberts. In this context, RyR stands for Roberts and Roberts. While our primary mission is to help athletes set and reach fitness and performance goals, we understand that this must occur within the context of each athlete's daily life. We strive to form an individual relationship with each athlete and make sure weekly training fits seamlessly into family life and work schedules.
Friends! Thanks for joining today's meeting,. Today's question is "Why Are We So Hard On Ourselves?" I say we, but I mean me.Life is not designed to hand us success or satisfaction, but rather to present us with challenges that make us grow. Terry Laughlin, founder of Total Immersion. This past summer was a major challenge for me and I thought I had become an expert at managing a crisis, with hip replacements, bankruptcy, heartbreak, tragedies, adopting via foster care, I thought I checked a lot of boxes for painful things. However, this summers challenge involved me spending 4 nights in the Intensive Care Unit at a Children's Hospital with my daughter. It was an expected surgery. I knew we would be in the intensive care unit. It was still terrifying. I still remember the beeping sounds.Good news, my daughter is healing and we got through it. We will likely go back for more surgeries but I will address that when the time comes. Here are 4 things I learned about that experience and I hope these things help you with any challenge you're facing now. 1. Give yourself credit for your wins. You have some wins, even if your win is that you're listening to podcasts and seeking information or ways to get better at managing your life. You have one, so recognize it.2. You can't wait until you have everything figured out to feel confident. You have to do things that are uncomfortable and solve the problems that you need to solve along the way. This is life. I am swimming in the unknown and I think this is the ocean I will continue to live in and that's ok. 3. You will make mistakes. Solve them, forgive yourself for errors and move forward. Repeat this cycle as needed, especially the forgiving yourself part.4. Don't be so hard on yourself, you're growing. You're a human being that is growing. Let's start today's meeting.
What a great way to round out Season 2 of the show - Expanding on our look at the Technical side of recreational diving, I'm joined by Ryan Duchatel, JJ CCR Trimix Instructor, cave diver and co-owner of Total Immersion Diving based in Newcastle , Australia.I've found many recreational divers are curious about the tech divers out there and the complex equipment they use. It seems to be a bit of a dark art and I've regularly heard comments along the lines of "It's for people wanting to dive deep" or "that it is too complex and expensive for me". The reality is very much to the contrary, technical diving is for anyone who wishes to extend their dives, either in time, depth, range or all of the above. Ryan talks about the evolution of Total Immersion Diving and provides us with great detail on how a closed circuit rebreather works and the many advantages that they provide, such as being able to get closer to wildlife, warmer diving, longer NDL's at all depths, variable partial pressure Ryan's Links:Websites:totalimmersiondiving.com.aurebreathers.com.auSocial:Total Immersion Diving - FacebookRyans Pro page - FacebookRyans personal page - FacebookWe gave a shout out to the Behind The Mask team during the show as they are supporting and calling for support from you to ban shark finning in the EU, please follow the link and sign the petition (EU nationals only) Link to the petition
Sound healing is one of the oldest forms of natural relaxation, stress relief and healing and has been practiced in many cultures and civilisations for thousands of years. More recently the emergence of modern sound therapy has lead to an increasing body of research showing the physiological & psychological benefits of sound healing but you only have to hear the sound of the ocean waves or a babbling stream to feel the transformational power and the positive benefits of healing sound. Harmonic vibrations created by overtone-emitting instruments such as tuned percussion, singing bowls & gongs can stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves associated with a deep meditative and restful state that is highly conducive to healing - sound massage for the body, mind & soul. Some of the positive effects of sound healing, sound meditation & gong baths are.. • Induces deep relaxation, calming the mind and helping to release muscle tension • Lowers anxiety & stress and lead to improved sleep • Enhanced mental focus, creativity, concentration, awareness & insight • Awaken a sense of physical and mental harmony and an increased sense of welbeing • Effective natural pain relief and can promote faster recovery from injury & illnesses Create a sonic space for renewal, reflection and transformation with this powerful music, the perfect musical ambience for relaxing at home as well as for #yoga, #pilates, #massage, #healing therapies and #bodywork. Lie down in a warm and comfortable place, and be totally immersed in blissful sound and vibration.

If you haven't heard the interview yet, go back and check it out on episode #105. Discussion Teasers After the interview I'll have some thoughts on the interview with Jim Vance, his book Triathlon 2.0, considerations for the self-coached athlete, and an offer to those who want to take their training to the next level or feel like they could use the partnership of a coach this season. I also have some reflections on some of the show highlights this year and some of the interviews that were particularly memorable and informational. Last, I have a funny Christmas triathlon gift story and a ask to see if any of you have good triathlon or gear Christmas stories that you would share. That's it for the teasers, let's go to the interview. Interview Setup Jim Vance is an elite endurance sports coach, author, and sport technology and training consultant based in San Diego, California. He is the personal coach 2016 US Olympic triathlete Ben Kanute, guiding him to 2017 performances of victory at Escape from Alcatraz and Island House Triathlon, as well as a 2nd place finish at the 70.3 World Championships. Triathlon 2.0 is an extremely useful book if you are a self-coached athlete. It will help give you concrete information on how to use data to do baseline testing, guidelines for determining goal training stress, and concepts for how to create a periodized training plan. After the interview, we'll go through a couple pages of the book to give you a practical example of how to determine goal CTL for each the bike and run using an hypothetical athlete and race distance. As Jim emphasizes in the book, these will just be examples and do not apply to all athletes or all race situations. Let's get into the interview now. Interview Jim Vance Health IQ Ad And we are back. Thanks again to Health IQ for sponsoring today's interview. The Health IQ advantage is their unique mortality model that enables lower rates for health conscious people. Just like having a good driving record saves you money on auto insurance, Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and more. With other life insurance companies, you might be penalized for family history, BMI, and other attributes but don't get rewarded for your health conscious lifestyle. You put in the time to train consistently, have the discipline to get out there in the cold, in the dark, you eat well, and you get the rewards of greater energy, and you feel good about yourself. Let's face it, you spend money on race registrations, gym memberships and gear. See if you can reward yourself further and recoup some of those investments. See how much you can save.

Host Discussion Topics Practical example from Triathlon 2.0 As Jim and I discussed, there is no substitute for using hard data to assess and measure performance. This is not to say that there is not a time and place for training or racing by feel. I'll give you a couple of examples. I like to do some rides and runs where I never look at a bike computer or look at my watch. If I'm thinking about the data on my device, that part of my concentration that is on the device is not on the effort or form of the training itself. In this case performance might be limited by not being able to fully concentrate on the training. Here's another example, there are times with the information on the screen might limit your performance because you curtail effort because the data is telling you are going harder or faster than your rate of perceived exertion. Let's say your 5 minute peak power is 300 watts from previous training sessions. You are doing a 5 minute Vo2 max effort on the bike and you look down and your average 20 second power has been 310 for the first minute of your interval. You may not believe you are capable of carrying that effort for the remaining 4 minutes and end up backing off. If you were training by feel and just going off RPE, you actually may have been on a breakthrough performance and could have achieved a new PR 5 minute peak power. My daughter's high school cross country coach won't let the athletes race with watches because it can limit their competitive nature. The concern that they may be in the heat of battle keeping pace with a team mate or a lead group, and they see that their pace is 10 seconds faster than they've trained to and they back off and let that team mate or group go. So there is a time and place for going by feel. Here's where you want some actual data - let's say you are doing your functional threshold testing for bFTP or rFTP. You may do the effort without looking at a watch or power meter if you have a coach or lab tech doing your test, but you damn sure want to have data to record what the power or pace is, correct? Here's another, when you work with a coach or go to prepare you periodized training plan, you need to assess your current training load and your goal training load based on your "A" race goal and "goal" for that race (meaning distance and planned result). Just using hours of training or mileage is not a measure of actual stress because they don't account for intensity. Plus, as we learned in the interview with Jim, preriodization is changing the type of training you are doing as you progress from phase to phase through your plan. You start in the base phase doing general training and get more specific the closer you get to your goal. Similarly, your intensity increases when you get into your build and peak phases altering the training load for a given duration or distance. Having an objective measure of the starting CTL and goal CTL are critical to your plan. You can assess your baseline CTL by using TrainingPeaks as long as you are recording all of your bike and run workouts and are using power and/or heart rate. As Jim mentioned, you want to track these seperately. You should work with a qualified coach to help you determine what your target CTL is for your race goal and to know whether your ramp rate from the baseline to the goal given the number of weeks to your "A" race is appropriate.

Host Discussion Rich's short debrief of the interview Bill we'll start with you, how was your week and what's new with you? Khem, what's new with you this week? Remembering Terry Laughlin, Total Immersion and former guest Terry Laughlin, who created the technique-focused swim training system known as “Total Immersion,” passed away Friday, Oct. 20, after complications with prostate cancer. Laughlin was 66 years old. Laughlin is survived by his wife, Alice, and daughters Fiona, Carrie and Betsy. The family announced his death Monday: “After living with metastatic prostate cancer for two years, Terry passed away on Friday, October 20th, 2017, of complications related to his condition. “He displayed his characteristic optimism, wit, and passion for life—and swimming—until the very end. Our family is in mourning and we ask that we be given time and space to grieve a beloved husband and father privately.” Terry talks about swimming like some people describe an Italian sports car or fine art, or a food describes their favorite dessert. #62 - Interview with Terry about the book Total Immersion and what the Total Immersion methodology is all about. #82 - We are going to talk to Terry about the importance of bi-lateral breathing, a convincing explanation of why it is possible and the opportunity to take your swim stroke to a new level. #71 - Terry Laughlin, Chief Optimist Officer at Total Immersion. Terry is coming back on the show to talk about his latest blog article "What's your best stroke rate? - How I found mine. And why it's still evolving." We'll talk about the article and you'll be sure to pick up insightful information about how to not only find your ideal stroke rate, but also learn how to reduce your SPL (to monitor stroke length).

Each day is centered around a different theme, starting with a spotlight on each discipline of triathlon: Monday, July 17: Swim Day Tuesday, July 18: Bike Day Wednesday, July 19: Run Day Thursday, July 20: Recovery Day Friday, July 21: Member Appreciation Day Saturday, July 22, and Sunday, July 23: Race Weekend The complete schedule—including ideas for how to participate from just a few minutes to a full day—are available at usatriathlon.org/triweek. #TriWeek is largely a social media-based initiative, as aspiring triathletes, age-groupers and elites are all encouraged to share their multisport experiences online. Prize packs will be awarded each day to randomly selected participants who share questions, advice or inspiring stories on social media using the hashtag #TriWeek. In addition, triathletes can submit stories of how they got started in the sport by using #WhyDoYouTri and #TriWeek on social media or by emailing communications@usatriathlon.org. On Member Appreciation Day, USA Triathlon Staff will select one of the #WhyDoYouTri participants to receive a USA Triathlon Lifetime Membership. The week culminates with Race Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, in which first-timers and experienced triathletes alike are encouraged to complete a race, register for their next event, or simply volunteer to staff an on-course aid station. The fourth weekend of July typically boasts one of the highest participation rates in multisport events across the country, with more than 160 USA Triathlon-sanctioned races taking place this year, including 55 youth races.

Let's get into the interview with Ken Axford. It's so interesting that you can continue to get insights into running form. What I find so exciting is that by talking to Ken, I truly did get a better understanding of preloading, knee drive and the importance of the shoulders and arms. I spoke of my use of high knees. I think it comes from my mental model of chi running which takes a completely different perspective when it comes to ground contact.
