Send us a textGerard Charlton has had a pre Ultraman sporting career and post Ultraman sporting career.Like most athletes, pre Ultraman, Gerard was all about racing Ironman in Penticton (11 times) and just trying to get a little faster.  In 2005, with some prodding from Steve King, Gerard took on Ultraman Canada.  At that time in his life, his sports became more about meeting the challenge and doing it for a greater good.  These challenges included him becoming the third ever Uberman finisher and completing the Canadian Death Race.  For a quick recap of the Uberman experience you can watch this video on Youtube narrated by Steve King.Uberman 2018 Youtube video narrated by Steve KingResources mentioned in this episode:Ultra TriFest CanadaUltra 515 World Wide ChampionshipsIronman CanadaUM CanadaCanadian Death RaceUbermanIronman World Championships Silk RouteAbbotsford Air ShowAlta Lake Sports Club1982 Vancouver TriathlonIron CopsCovenant HouseFranciscan Sisters of AtonementCanuck PlaceShout outs and mentions in this episode:Tony O'Keeffe (S6E6)Steve King (S1E1)  (S1E2)  (S1E3)Dan FisherGrant Fisher Dave Beardsell Mike MaraunLes McDonaldConall BarTom Price Steve WallickJean KingGord EvansMelissa Urie  (S6E4)Giorgio Alessi Richardo AlessiDan Bercu Pete McIntoshNick Mallett  (S2E12)Randy CunninghamDevasish PaulBarry Berg  (S1E9)Show Contributors:Host : Larry Ryan Contributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic  :  Run by 331For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/515TheUltraPodcastInsta : 515theultrapodcastEmail : 515Ultraman@gmail.comSupport the show

Travelling over 515km in three days of racing, the event starts with a 10km ocean swim followed by a 145km cycle.

Simon reveals his strategies for mental preparation and provides valuable insights into the mental side of endurance training. We talk through Simon's race in Hawaii, the lead up to the race and how he adjusted his taper. We also hear about the challenging conditions which led to a crash on the bike.

With the Ultraman World Championships starting tomorrow in Kona, we wanted to talk to a past champion. That's why this week, Haley and Alyssa chat with Amy Robitaille about her win at the 2022 Ultraman Canada. With a 10km (6.2 mile) swim and 144km (90 mile) bike on the first day, a 276 km (171 mile) bike on the second day, and an 85km (52.4 mile) run on the final day, Amy pushed her body to its limits. Amy shares her key to winning, which in fact, means slowing down a bit. As Amy says, "you can walk and win". Finally, the duo chat about the upcoming race. While Amy won't be racing herself, she will be cheering her fellow athletes on!

We are super pumped to have former professional triathlete Leanda Cave with us today. Leanda is a multi-time world champion, coach, an absolute legend in the sport of triathlon, and most recently, an Ultraman athlete. Leanda placed 2nd overall at Ultraman Canada, beating the first male overall by 11-minutes which means that women claimed the first two podium spots. So very, very cool. Leanda started competing in triathlon in 1993 at the age of 14, eventually leading her to become a Junior Elite in Australia. At age 21, she returned to her home country of Great Britain, where she pursued a professional career in multisport. In the early days of her professional career, she focused on Olympic distance draft-legal racing and, in 2001, became the European Under-23 Olympic Distance Champ. In 2002 she won a silver at the commonwealth games, silver at the European championships, and her first world title in Cancun. Five years later, she moved into long-distance triathlon, winning her second world title at the ITU long-distance world championship. And then, in 2012 became the first woman in history to complete the double when she won the Ironman 70.3 and 140.6 World Championships just five weeks apart. She is one of the greatest athletes to ever compete in the triathlon and BJ, and I have followed her career for a long time. So we are honored that she is sharing the mic with us, and we hope you enjoy the show. In this episode we discuss: - not scared of figuring things out - seeking the path with the most obstacles - singular focus vs having fun & enjoying life - the mental side of Ultraman - tricks to bring the mind back into focus - why pursue Ultraman? - racing for something bigger than yourself - injury is part of the job description as an athlete - cross training for Ultraman - how to train an athlete through injury - being intuitive vs fixated on data - race day is a dance floor - taking life too seriously - passions of being a coach - using training to dial in nutrition to fuel performance - mobility, stability, and strength training - focusing on what you can do, not what you can't do - the approach going into Ultraman World Championships - fueling advice for entering into long-distance triathlons Thank you to all patrons on Patreon for keeping this podcast commercial-free, we are grateful for you. Namaste- Jess

If you think an Ironman is long...you should try an Ultraman! An Ultraman takes place over three days and consists of 10km of swimming, 421 km of cycling, and 84km of running. That is no joke. This week, Haley and Alyssa talk to Leanda Cave and Jenny Fletcher. Leanda is a "retired" World Triathlon Champion and Ironman champion, with her career spanning over 18 years. Becoming a professional triathlete in 2010, Jenny Fletcher is an acclaimed Ironman winner. This past month, Leanda raced Ultraman Canada with her close friend, Jenny Fletcher crewing along the way. Haley and Alyssa get the inside scoop of Leanda's race, and what it was like for Jenny to support her friend through such a grueling endeavor.

Not every athlete who challenges the 515 distance has completed 20 Ironmans, or have been winners in their age groups, or are Ultra marathon junkies.  Some just work their way up the distances and prepare to take on the 515 distance with a hope of just finishing.  My guest today, Gloria Aguilera, did not do any of that.  Her first triathlon was the Ultra 355 in Cozumel and now she is my guest as the UltraMX 515 athlete in profile.  She is lucky to have an experienced guide in the form of husband Jose Postigo, a 2 time finisher of UltraMX 515 and 2 time finsiher of the UltraMX 515 Non Stop.  He also joins our conversation and shares some of his stories about those races.Gloria brings a great perspective to the 515 personal challenge.  She recognizes her athletic shortcomings and is not out to win it all.  Both her and Jose are in it for the fun, the Ohana, and to live a healthy lifestyle.Steve King shares the background of the UltraMX 515 race director and coach of Gloria, Van Sanchez. Resources mentioned in this episode:Boston MarathonIronman World ChampionshipsUltra 355 Cozumel IM Los Cabos IM CozumelUMUKUltraMX 515 SeriesUltra 355 AustraliaUltra 355 Canada Shout outs and mentions in this episode:Inaki de la ParraDebbie Jones Brian JonesRamiro GutierrezMiguel AguilarMichelle EcheverriaJorge CabreraSamantha PortillaWill Rogers JD Tremblay Chad Bentley (S1E1)Brad Sawa (S1E10)Van Sanchez (S1E6)Fernanda CantuMario EsparzaCarlos PeñaMelissa PeñaDelia LujanMiguel Garcia (S1E6)___________________________________________________________Show Contributors:Host : Larry Ryan Contributing Raconteur : Steve KingAnnouncer : Mary Jo DionneProduction : 5Five EnterprisesMusic  :  Run by 331___________________________________________________________For show notes and past guests, please visit the Podcast Website: https://515theultrapodcast.buzzsprout.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/515TheUltraPodcastInstagram: 515theultrapodcastIf you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes or where you get your pods.   I would like to hear from you and who you think should be interviewed.Email : 515Ultraman@gmail.com

In this episode I talk with Ultraman Canada athlete Tim Wilkinson about his race. This race is quite emotional and is not an easy race to complete by any means.

Hot off the heels of crewing for the women's champion at Ultraman Canada, Taryn Spates joins us today for an inspiring conversation on sport and life. She gives us the inside scoop on playing the role of support for our friend Kat at this epic 3-day ultra-distance triathlon and the challenges she faced leading into the event. Taryn is the author of "35 Before 35, A Runner's Quest" and admits that running has always been a big part of her identity. Recently she has come up to the question that every athlete will experience if they stay in their sport long enough, which is, who are we without our sport? She shares the toughest moment of her recent navigation of injury and the importance of feeling the mucky moments of life entirely. Taryn is a plant-based triathlete. We talk about her transition from vegetarian to vegan and the benefits that she experiences because of her nutrition choices. She shares her training and race nutrition, including her per hour caloric goals. Taryn is a positive role model for others and is not shy about talking about her struggles. She believes that we have to be selfish to be selfless and for her, that means running, and writing are musts in her life. We are grateful for her visit to the high vibe studio and are confident you will enjoy her powerful positivity. We hope you will join us in tracking her during her upcoming performance at Ironman Wisconsin this coming Sunday, September 8th. Namaste -

“Everybody wants the finish line. Everybody wants a medal. But people don’t want to put the work in.”Danielle GrabolIn 2010, the tireless and intrepid Jason Lester hoodwinked me into his latest fit of voluntary suffering insanity: an attempt to complete 5 Ironman-distance triathlons on 5 Hawaiian Islands in under 5 days. Hence was born the EPIC5 Challenge — and somehow we survived to tell the tale.Now institutionalized, EPIC5 annually attracts a global handful of athletes adequately unhinged to retrace our steps. Over the last 8 years, 29 individuals have successfully completed the challenge. Three of these intrepid humans are women. Two of them are here today.Meet real-life Wonder Women Danielle Grabol & Melissa Urie – both athletes thriving on the cutting edge of ultra-endurance.But it wasn't always that way.Pushing 225 pounds, 15 years ago Dani was a junk food junkie and a pack-a-day smoker who couldn't even climb a flight of stairs without losing her breath (sounds familiar!). In 2005, her doctor told her that if she didn’t change her ways she’d be dead before she turned 40.So she hit the gym. It was hardly overnight, but ultimately Dani reinvented herself wholesale. Down 70 pounds, an athlete was born. But on a training ride a year later, Dani was struck by a drunk driver. Her injuries were so severe she was told she would never run or bike again. Instead, she went on to compete in multiple Ironmans and even a double-Ironman. In 2013 she was one-half of the youngest two-person female team to finish RAAM — the legendary bike race across the entire United States. And in 2016, Dani became the very first female to compete in and finish EPIC5 — a stereotype shattering story she lays bare in her beautiful memoir, Fear No Distance*.A mental health nurse from Melbourne, Australia, Mel grew up active but never competitive. But in 1998, in an effort to lose a bit of weight and get fit, she participated in the Great Victorian Bike Ride with her dad. Thus was sparked a passion for ultra-endurance. Over the years, Mel has completed 6 Ironmans and a few double ironman distances races, including Ultraman Canada and Ultraman Australia*. Like Dani, she discovered EPIC5 by way of Finding Ultra, signed up and in 2017, Mel became the second female to ever complete the challenge.The bottom line? Mel and Dani are two badass women who know how to get it done. And this conversation is about just that.It's about putting in the work. It's about patience. Determination and grit. Not being afraid to fail. It's about the mindset required to break stereotypes. And it's about the mental toughness demanded to compete at the highest level in an arena dominated by men.So check your excuses at the door and enjoy!To view our conversation on YouTube, visit bit.ly/danielleandmel421. And don't forget we're also now on Spotify here: bit.ly/rrpspotifyPeace + Plants,*I recorded this interview way back in mid-November. At the time, Mel was preparing for the Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. Unfortunately she did not finish that race. I'm not sure what happened but I'll find out and let you know.Listen, Watch & Subscribe See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today we "sip the fat" with this years winner of the ULTRA 520K Canada (formerly known as UltraMan Canada) and TS Life Member, Ross Welton. Ross adopted the LCHF lifestyle to prepare his body for the race and talks us through the nuances of his journey with LCHF - mistakes he made, and strategies that you absolutely have to employ to ensure that the LCHF protocol works for you. Ross, as well as many other athletes, are proof that you can perform at high levels without destroying your body with excess, processed carbohydrates. In today’s episode, we discuss: How a bet turned into a full-blown commitment to race. The rewards of persistence. Going all in. Knowing what is right an what is wrong for your body. Getting over fat-phobia. Fat bombs. Getting the numbers and the training just right. How to race as a LCHF athlete. The social acceptance of eating. Seizing the moment.

In this episode I talk with one of the most remarkable guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, Craig Percival. Craig has just completed something that has never been even attempted before let alone completed. He has completed 8 full distance Ironman Triathlons, in the 8 states/territories of Australia in 8 days. WOW. My head still shakes even thinking about this undertaking. He has completed well over 20 Ironman Triathlons and has competed at the Ironman World Championships on 4 occasions. He has completed Ultraman Canada, qualified for and finished a remarkable second at the Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. Craig's message is simple and along the lines of a great sporting brand you may have heard of......JUST DO IT. Get up and get through the first 10 minutes of the training session, the race or even just the day and the rest will make itself happen. His other key message to take away from our conversation is to find YOUR WHY?? His drive and determination to inspire others to achieve their goals can be seen in the flesh with his very own coaching business, www.nolimitsendurance.com.au. Craig's support and care for his athletes is second to none and the results his athletes achieve speak for themselves. If you are looking for an amazing coaching experience to elevate you to the next level get in contact with him. Throughout the 8in8in8 he raised well over A$80,000 for the John Maclean Foundation, an awesome organisation that aims to make the lives of young Australians who use wheelchairs. John himself came out and supported the event right through and I was honoured to be able to have a chat with him and the amazing work he does with young Australians. www.jmf.com.au Thanks to the Shaun and the team at Temple Nutrition who look after all my racing, training and nutritional needs. They want me to extend a fantastic offer for you next purchase of 30% off. Check them out.

ONE STEP AHEAD: 10 substitutes for bread. WORKOUT OF THE WEEK: High intensity cycling to improve your running. HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEW - KATE BEVILAQUA AND GUY CRAWFORD: Kate, Australian pro triathlete and 3 x Ironman Champion, most recently had a stunning result at Ultraman Canada being the first woman ever to win the race overall. Kate beat everybody in the field, including all the men, in a time of 24hrs 16mins 27 secs.

Friday Fat Black Episode 23 - Swimming with Craig Percival In this FFB, Pete and I get the pleasure of speaking with Craig Percival about swimming, the common mistakes and some very simple tips to help you get out of the water faster and in better shape.  I've know Craig for a number of years through Aquashop and being around Iornman expos but wanted to get him on our podcast after seeing some success his had with athletes and especially in the swim discipline.  I'm talking wholesale changes in swim times and this is what perked my ears up.   Craig is not only a very good swimmer himself (now holds the 10k swim record at Ultraman Canada including days 1 and 2) but also a very good coach too.  It's a cracking episode. Enjoy. We'd love it if you are getting enjoyment and great advice from our podcasts if you could give us a 5-Star rating and review on iTunes we'd be forever grateful.
