Endurance Nation Podcast: Recent Episodes
Endurance Nation
Official triathlon podcasts from the coaches at Endurance Nation; includes training and racing insights, gear overviews, training instructions, EN updates, and some random fun stuff too.
Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. My co-host Matt brought that line home from the Marine Corps, and after five days of racing gravel at the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder, it's the truest thing we can tell you about stage racing.
In Part 1, we get into the boring stuff that actually wins the week: the post-ride system that saves you from standing in a one-hose line with 500 other riders, packing your whole life into a Home Depot tote (RIP pillows), the nightly debrief that should've been its own episode, and "fravel," the fake gravel that no GPX file will ever warn you about.
You win the race between the stages. Here's how.

In this episode of the Endurance Nation podcast, Coach Patrick emphasizes the critical importance of rest and recovery for endurance athletes. Proper recovery not only prevents burnout but also enhances overall performance and longevity in the sport.
Key Strategies for Rest and Recovery:
- Rest Hard: If you think you need two days off, take four. Commit to doubling the rest period you believe you need to ensure full recovery. Focus on getting eight-plus hours of sleep each night and eliminate stimulants like caffeine and sugar late in the day to help your body unwind.
- Clean Eating: Cut out unnecessary calories and sugars to allow your body to reset and recover. Eating clean helps mitigate the fatigue accumulated from training.
- Holistic Recovery: Address all aspects of your life, including work and personal stressors, to create a comprehensive recovery environment. Use this time to offload non-essential tasks and focus on rest.
- Adjust Training Load: Identify and reduce the most taxing workouts. Maintain the frequency of workouts but decrease their duration and intensity. For instance, if you’re fatigued, shorten your sessions or lower the intensity by one training zone.
- Optimize Your Week: Adjust your weekly training structure to prioritize either weekdays or weekends, depending on your schedule. Incorporate micro rest blocks or complete rest days to ensure adequate recovery.
- Prioritize Race Day Performance: Focus your training on the sessions that directly impact your race performance. Eliminate junk mileage that adds unnecessary fatigue without beneficial returns.
By integrating these rest and recovery strategies, athletes can sustain high performance levels, avoid burnout, and stay on track with their training goals. Tune in for detailed insights and actionable tips to enhance your endurance journey.

Today’s topic is motivation -- and often misunderstood and underestimated force in our endurance success. But make no mistake, motivation is not just a fleeting feeling. Motivation is a tool that can be wielded, cultivated, and harnessed. We will arm ourselves with strategies such as creating a mantra, utilizing rewards, and speaking words of power to ourselves. These techniques will not only spark our motivation when we need it most, but they will fuel it all day long.

Then, we'll help you prioritize your top three areas for improvement and provide a plan for your next steps. To make it even more helpful, we'll run through examples in three different fitness activities - running, cycling, and body composition. Let’s go!

"Is Your Life Aerobic?" is truly an existential question. But it’s also grounded in some reality. Are you looking to improve your overall health and well-being? Or are you just a racing machine? Did you know your body doesn’t really distinguish between the two? This blog covers the importance of having a good baseline for your goals and how to maintain an aerobic lifestyle. We'll also provide some bonus aerobic options for those who are looking for a change in their fitness routine.

When it comes to endurance nutrition, the magic is in the process. WHAT you consume is crucial, but it's merely the foundation. The real magic happens when you establish a systemic approach to consuming your fluids and calories. Without a streamlined process, you'll struggle to succeed. And only once you've established this baseline can you truly begin to optimize and refine your routine.
- You Need to Sweat Test for Fluids (Yes, Electrolytes)
- The Workout Window: Timing of the Fuel
- Evaluate Your Long Workout Nutrition (> 1.5 Hours)
- Create a Fueling Plan Rule (Duration, Feed Intervals, Quality)
- Automate the Shopping
A training camp can help you build early season fitness, but you need to be ready to do the work. This includes having a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve from the training camp, such as improved endurance, stronger performance in specific events, or a higher level of fitness. Creating the time to plan and prepare for the training camp will help you to maximize the benefits and achieve your goals.
- Outline your goal outcomes for the camp.
- Set milestones for training to reach that level of fitness.
- Have a packing list for camp.
- Review and capture all logistical elements.
- Plan in recovery before and after camp.

Are you an endurance athlete looking to step up your game? It's important to remember that even with a fixed schedule, volume plays a crucial role in your training. The good news is, the early season is the ideal time to safely add volume to your regimen. By doing more in the preseason, you'll have more opportunities to perform at your best later in the year. Let's get started!

As an endurance athlete, we know that you're always looking for ways to push yourself and improve your performance. That's where overreaching comes in. Overreaching is a term used to describe the process of intentionally pushing your body beyond its normal limits in order to create new fitness through a process called super compensation. When done correctly, overreaching can lead to improved endurance, increased strength, and enhanced overall performance. Done incorrectly, well, you could suffer a setback. Here are our rules to help you successfully and safely do some volume.
- Use Your Current Fitness as a Baseline
- Set a Tangible Target (and Supporting Elements)
- Choose the Safest Possible Option
- Adjust Frequently to Safeguard Training Time
- Mindset Hack: What Would Next Week Me Say Right Now?

Reviewing your season can be an incredibly in-depth and painstaking exercise. It's no surprise, then, that most people simply opt to skip this step. Why spend time thinking about what didn't work, when you can go sign up for a bunch of races!?
One word: Opportunity. As tempting as it is to follow our social media heroes in their quest for excellence, we have our own paths to create. You are your own best resource for where to go next. Your body has shown what it can and can’t do. When it can work, and when it needs to rest.
Your races and key workouts are full of data that reveal your potential — but we have to be willing to look inwards in order to unlock these opportunities. Here is a simple three part framework that can put you on track.
- Stop: The Process of Elimination
- Start: Additions with Maximum Outcomes
- Continue: What Momentum can You Continue
Inside Endurance Nation we believe that consistent, frequent exercise is key to both physical and mental well-being. Many people underestimate the long-term effects of daily movement and the impact it can have on our bodies and minds. We place undue emphasis on volume and going really big. This deal with the devil hides the costs of such a winner-takes-all approach. The truth is, making exercise a regular part of your routine can lead to compound fitness and a baseline level of health that is better and more sustainable than any other alternative.
- Do The Math: Training Time vs Living Time
- Define Your Minimum Viable Workout (MVW)
- Pick a Manageable Daily Healthy Habit
- List of options include: walking, standing desk, power 15 of yoga, planking, etc.
It's easy to fall into the trap of being a consume-first athlete. Endurance sports requires specific gear based on the discipline, your goals, and the conditions that you expect. But outside of these tight windows, there's plenty of gear within arm's reach that you simply no longer use. Well some of it may be unsuitable for sharing, the vast majority would be an incredible resource for someone new, or someone in need.
But it doesn't just have to be equipment. After all, time is your most valuable resource. Scan the local event calendar to find a race that could benefit from volunteers. Run an aid station, help with registration, pay it forward. The heart of endurance sports is the grassroots fine cultivated by independent race, directors and incredible volunteers. Help keep the magic engine alive by donating a few hours this year
Here are some ideas on how you can provide this double sided benefit!
- Equipment Management
-
- What Don’t You Wear?
- What Don’t You Use?
- Giving Back
-
- What (Local) Events Can Your Serve?
- Who Could You Help?
Putting together a season is no small task. Instead of starting with Races, start with your opportunities. Very few of us were born with the genetic infrastructure and independent wealth that allows for peak performance on demand. Recognizing this, let's start with the parameters that ensure you will be at your best.
In this manner, we can structure a progression that maintains your commitment to macro development while also preparing you for success for the races that you select.
Let’s get started!
- Determine Your Target Event Types
- Define Your Windows for Racing
- List Top 3 to 5 Performance Goals
- Specify Your Races
- Work Backwards to Today
Your first action at the start of each season should be to zoom out. It's tempting to be very specific when we create our plans. But specificity is not your friend at the beginning.
Instead, you should be in full on discovery mode. This is your chance to process your recent lessons learned in a way that shapes your next set of decisions. By connecting past and future at the moment of decision-making, you create the opportunity for continued progression.
Just as importantly, you leave the door open for serendipitous decision making. There will be outlying factors that will have a significant impact on your performance in the next season. They are simply not on your radar when we think of goals, but they are when we think about making changes to the status quo. That's what we're going to focus on today.
- Perform an Equipment Review
- Scan Your Training Set Up
- Define One Degree Better
- Specify One Change Per Month for Six Months
If it's not fun, why do it?
This framework has helped me make countless decisions as an athlete. Yes, getting better requires work. But not all work has to feel like, well, work.
Just outside the boundaries of the sport you love, there are adventures that inspire the adventurous aspect of your personality. Putting bucket list events on the calendar provides motivation and a much-needed breather from the grind that can be every day training.
And not all bucket list events are created equal. Bigger isn't better. Harder isn't better. Friends, however, always make it more fun! Here’s how you can tap into the end-of-the-year mojo to make your upcoming season one that captures the imagination.
- The Power of Adventure
- Choose Two Options
- Speak Your Challenge to Life
- Set a Go/No-Go Date to Commit
- Don’t Lose the Fun

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P discusses how to handle the new season; it's important to get organized and set ourselves up for success. This may involve decluttering our training spaces, setting goals and making a plan to achieve them, and making sure we have all the necessary equipment and resources. It's also a good idea to take some time to reflect on the previous season and identify any areas for improvement. By taking these steps, we can ensure that we are well-prepared to welcome the new season with a clear mind.
Key Talking Points include:
- Mapping Out Your Year
- Connecting with Your Team
- Defining Critical Success Factors (or Rank)
- Solving for the First Six Week

It's generally accepted that humans can live for three days without water but they can go weeks without food. Not something that any of us ever want to test, but a good corollary to how we fuel our endurance events. The importance of hydration cannot be overstated. Most endurance athletes approach race day as a calorie problem, not a fluid problem. This approach is short-sighted given the importance of hydration, as it enables athletes to maintain desired levels of high athletic function.
Here’s a hydration primer:
- The Basics [here]
- Source the right stuff (Carbs + Electrolytes)
- Conduct a Sweat Test
- Outline a Progression

The majority of athletes consider heat to be their enemy. It depletes you, it slows you down, it burns your skin, it makes training and racing downright miserable. In other words, this is the perfect opportunity to turn someone else's problem into your advantage.
Training in the heat, done properly, brings additional adaptations for your Fitness that will unlock performance on race day. Several studies have shown that training in the heat two or three times per week for 20 to 90 minutes, will create several beneficial training effects.
- Decreased heart rate
- Improved exercise economy
- Lower core temperature at sweat onset
- Increased plasma volume (Plasma is the liquid component in your blood. If the volume is increased, you can send blood to cool your skin without compromising the supply carrying oxygen to your muscles.)
Your race simulation is the most important workout you do before your race is a simulation. Regardless of your sport, preparing for race day isn't just about fitness, it's about execution. Skip a few critical early steps, and your race will be full of turbulence.
When you are ready to go to the next level, you need to move beyond the logistics of the race. Now we begin to talk about the environment. Each race brings its own set of conditions that you need to prepare for. Elevation, weather, course layout, resources on the course, equipment required, time of day, duration of the event…you get the idea!
Here’s our five step framework to make your next race simulation the best possible.

Coach Patrick covers one of the most challenging aspects of being an endurance athlete managing fatigue. Mid-season fatigue is unique in that it can hide easily behind important workouts and race preparation. We often dismiss being tired mid-season as this is simply part of "achieving our goals." over time, even small amounts of fatigue can snowball into larger problems if you're not careful. Tune in to learn how you can stay on top of managing this important trend.
Coach Patrick explains how intermittent speedwork can be exactly the right does of training, adventure, and fun. Most athletes overestimate the amount of speed work their bodies can handle, and underestimate the time required between these high-quality sessions. Solve this problem by using races to “time box” the amount of work to fit your goals for each phase of your season.
Key talking points include:
- Define the Event: Fun, Short, and Safe
- The Warm-Up: Shorter = More Work
- The Pacing: Get up to Speed & Sustain the Work
- The Reward: Post Event Celebration & Lessons Learned
Coach Patrick discusses the importance of managing the hydration transition from Winter training to Outdoor training in the Spring.

The Catch: The Unscheduled Athlete Gets No Training Time In this week’s episode, Coach Patrick breaks down how you can apply your workout mindset to work itself. The goal here is to great optimized blocks for productivity, and allow for areas of recovery. It’s not all about the time you spend at work, but what you do with that time!
"All Work No Play Is A Rough Road" Tune in to learn how you can structure a successful season by scheduling an end-of-season event. The more fun, the more epic, the more "team oriented" - the better! The critical four steps of this process are: - Nail the logistics first to set up the macro resources. - Toggle current training to reflect that bigger goal. - Assess and Adjust on a Monthly Timeline - Be ready to make a final push.

Endurance Nation: Work Hard, Get Smart, Go Fast!
Coach Patrick shares out some of Team Endurance Nation’s top transition tips. No matter what your ability is, we can all be faster on the logistical side of racing. This is free speed, and done right it can keep you on course and energized about your performance. Tune in to learn about ordering materials, offloading them, and the top-secret Endurance Nation “go" bag.
Coach Patrick continues our exploration of Habits and Race Execution. Inspired by the Olympics, Patrick talks about Habits that can help you Pre-Race and within the Race as well. Topics covered include using your smartphone reminders as a checklist tool, music selection, race day mantras, default rules by race situation, and manipulating your mindset timeline within the race.
Coach Patrick breaks down the process of heat adaptation and the associated habits that can help you. Thanks to some insightful information from Dr. Stacy Sims (online here), we can talk specifics by gender. Learn how you can maximize the effects of your heat adaptation work.
Coach Patrick breaks down the value of off road running and why you should consider running off-road when it fits into your program - or at the end of the season. Here are the key talking points.
- Running Fitness Building Blocks: Intensity vs Duration
- Value of Consistent, Easy Running
- Off-Road 3-Dimensional Running
- Pace Changes for Terrain
- Avoiding the Strava Segment Trap
Coach Patrick interviews long-time teammate, Nam Lam, on his first Kona Qualification at Ironman Coeur d’Alene. Conditions were brutally hot, but Nam used the fitness and confidence he built racing at IM Tulsa earlier in the year to run down the competition. Nam shares the challenges and strategies he used to stay on track over the pandemic. Tune in to laugh and be inspired!
Coach Patrick covers some of the most effective ways to mitigate the costs associated with training in the heat - and still reap all of the benefits. If you have been struggling with the heat, see if any one of these five tips can make a difference for you!
- Train earlier in the day to avoid the peak temperature periods. Do so strategically to hopefully still be able to get enough sleep.
- Reduce the effort by using your heart rate monitor as the training guide instead of just power or pace. This will allow you to keep your effort consistent and put bigger pieces of work together without accumulating too much stress.
- Optimize your setup for frequent and early access to fluids that have electrolytes. Whether that's gas stations or outfitting / retrofitting your car to be a mobile aid station if needed.
- Consider targeting cooler weather races where you have the opportunity to bring your heat acclimatization to the event and use it strategically to outperform the competition.
- Be sure to write down your lessons learned so you can get smarter every go round whether it's from session to session, week-to-week or even season-to-season.
In this brief in between episode, Coach Patrick discusses the value of organizing your races in small clusters for better outcomes. The more intentional you can be with the structure of your season, the better outcomes you can expect to earn.
- Being able to use a single base training build-up repeatedly instead of having to repeat the cycle over and over again.
- Capturing rapid learning opportunities to get better at decision-making for success and race day
Increase familiarity with race day setup and better execution as a result
Coach Patrick reviews the progress of the Habit Project for athletes who have downloaded the free resource and are working to make improvements. Mid-season is a time for reflection and adjustment. In this talk Patrick discusses Unconscious and Conscious Habits, and how you can stack them to create sustainable, effective change.

Mastering your performance in hot conditions usually takes a great deal of trial and error. It’s hard to predict how your body will respond without actually putting your body to work in extreme conditions. All safety considerations aside, here are five different aspects of exercising in the heat that can help endurance athletes.
- Being flexible with your nutrition to incorporate more fluids
- Having extra no salt on hand to be able to process those additional fluids as needed
- Using strategic items such as shade or ice at 8 stations to strategically reduce your heart rate
- Triathletes can make the most out of having sponges available on the Run course to wipe their skin and help conduct more energy out of their bodies into the atmosphere (especially in the humidity)
- Don't stay at a steady speed all the time, take advantage of mini-breaks to get your heart rate down and recover before the next effort.
Coach Patrick covers the logistics and key steps to planning an adventure with your bike while getting in some serious volume. Great adventures are built on the fundamentals of safety and fun. Key points covered include planning the route, accounting for rider safety, managing hydration and calorie needs, and a few bonus items. Don’t head out for that next “big” ride without making sure you’ve thought through everything. You’ll be more prepared and have a much better time, promise!
Coach Patrick covers four key reasons why using a heart rate cap, or ceiling is a very effective way to minimize the effect of extreme heat on your race performance. This process begins in training and then, with experience, transfers over to race day. Key reasons for a Heart Rate Cap include:
- Avoiding spikes.
- Understanding the balance between Power and Pace versus Heart Rate.
- Preventing low points / ebbs in your performance when you back off too much.
- Keeping you honest allows you to save your energy for the end of the day.
At the end of every month, Coach Patrick discusses key questions that have been asked and/or covered inside Endurance Nation. Participants in the live call also have the opportunity to ask Coach Patrick their most burning (see what I did there?) questions. This month topics included:
- Three tips to manage your heat training: pre-load hydration, better route planning (loops), and improved recovery.
- Desendervals question from Anna
- Clothing decisions in the heat: arm coolers and buffs or no?
- Summer maintenance plan for flexibility and fitness maintenance.
Coach Patrick kicks off with a story about the Boston Marathon. You know, the one where the BAA gave participants the opportunity to defer due to the projected extreme temperatures? You don’t have to be like the obstinate competitors who forced their way through the first 13.1 miles in defiance of weather experts everywhere. Here are some options for you to find speed despite the conditions:
-
You want to use your heart rate in your race simulation to capture your existing data so you can make better decisions
-
Create event-based targets for your heart rate numbers to allow you to race properly
There are four different variables you need to pay attention to:
- timing (early versus late)
- terrain (hilly vs flat, elevation vs sea level)
- conditions (hot versus cold, windy versus calm, etc.)
your sport modality (swimming vs. running vs. cycling)
Coach Patrick interviews Jon Thornham from FloCycles on the secret sauce that helps FLO make cyclists faster and passionate brand advocates. The equation is simple - help cyclists around the globe get faster without breaking the bank. The magic lies in the execution and work ethic that keep FLO in that sweet spot of quality and value.
Jon dishes on the origin of FLO, why they chose a Direct-to-Consumer model, how they have handled the industry pivot to disc brakes, the value of the FLO podcast, and their core values around giving back. Hard not to like FLO even more after this great conversation!

In terms of missed peak fitness, but also in terms of long-term development. The term Ballistic Load applies to the cost of running; and it increases as you run harder.

Key Talking Points:
- Consistency and Frequency are the most important fitness levers.
- Opportunity Cost of missed training is high.

Endurance Nation: Work Hard, Get Smart, Go Fast!
Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach Patrick turns to the middle distance race of Triathlon. The 70.3 distance often gets disrespected because athletes are either training for an Iron Man and have a bigger mindset or they are just bumping up from the short course racing and assume they've got it all figured out.

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P sits down with Eric Kenny from EK Endurance Coaching (http://ekendurancecoaching.com/). The topic is Swimming and Minimum Effective Dose...what to consider when constructing a season. As a baseline, know that Eric advocates for swimming 2x a week, year-round.
Key Talking Points:
- Make small gains all the time.
- Swimming is skill-based, so continuous application of those skill matter.
- Choose a coached session (masters) so you have feedback from the deck.
- Swim warm-ups are critical for improved overall training, as they help set up your stroke and prepare for a better workout.
- Since we swim in a closed atmosphere, it’s the perfect "inclement weather" alternate activity to replace a run or bike.

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another special Team Endurance Nation interview podcast with Gabe Peterson, one of our newest Community Moderators. Gabe has long since left the world of triathlon for more adventurous events. If it's epic, and there's a race nearby, Gabe has likely done it. From the Bear 100(22k vertical) to the Wasatch 100 (24k vertical) to the Leadville 100, Gabe has put himself through a ton of tight spots just to bring you some incredible advice and motivation.
Key Talking Points:
- Build into ultra running with a progression: Marathon to 50k to 50 miler and then 100 miler.
- Ultra running has an incredible amount of technique involved; practice makes perfect!
- What makes a 100 mile run on a treadmill even possible.
Key Tips for New UltraRunners:
- Always get the vertical in to match your race / event
- Trekking poles are key to help you stay on your feet and running by the end of a 100 miler.
- Descending is a critical skill that must be practiced.
- A strong mental game is key to deal with fatigue, lack of sleep, weather and other variables.

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another special interview podcast. This week Patrick interviews long-time Endurance Nation member Tim Cronk on his evolution from Ironman to Ultra Runner, and now to one of our Community Moderators (Ultra Chat, of course).
Tune in to learn to "meet" Tim and learn the inner motivation that powers him through races that most of us wouldn't tackle on a turbocharged ATV. The craziest part? He's got practically zero ego. Even if you don't listen to a word he says, Tim's voice will just help you chill out.
Tim shares out:
- The origins of Good Skill vs Good Luck as a Team Endurance Nation saying.
- The power of connecting exertion to your happy place vs a place of suffering.
- How to be adventurous yet keep that competitive fire burning.

Endurance Nation: Work Hard, Get Smart, Go Fast!
"Exercise without competition, without danger or purpose, didn't strengthen the body...it simply wore it out." ~ Norman Mailer
The short term future of our collective endurance sports scene is looking pretty darn bleak. But we've got just what you need: a ridiculous set of challenges designed to build your fitness and push the limits of what you think is possible: The ENVEREST Challenge: www.endurancenation.us/enverest
Three separate events running February, March and May of 2021. Each event has a training time / volume goal. There are different levels of completion. The degree of difficulty increases as you either opt into more "work," less time for the same "work," or an evil combination of them both.
Along the way, you'll be training and completing alongside new friends and teammates. There's a community space and chat channel as well as "event time" live communication.
We can't guarantee that your ENVEREST will be easy, but we can assure you that you won't be alone.
Registration is FREE and open to anyone: www.endurancenation.us/enverest
You can opt into a SWAG option, where you'll get some cool gear for $100 regardless of the challenges you do (one or all three); with a portion of proceeds going to the Challenged Athletes Foundation. You can order that SWAG through March 15, 2021 here: https://bit.ly/3oA1ksR

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) in this latest installment of our Fifteen Minutes with a Coach series. In this episode, Patrick discusses the significance of building habits to create change vs chasing outcomes. Skipping the process might speed up your result in the short term but will short change your overall development in the end.
Key Talking Points:
- Speed to outcome isn't the optimal metric for sustainable change.
- Short cuts will ultimately short change you in the end.
- Example and discussion on body composition.

Endurance Nation: Work Hard, Get Smart, Go Fast!
Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Scott Giljum is our guest in the Team Interview Series.
Scott joined the team in late 2012 after completing Ironman Louisville. He attended a pre-race talk, led by Coach Patrick on the Four Keys of Race Execution. Scott went on to set PRs at his next three IM Races. A brief foray into ultra running aggravated longstanding rugby issues, and Scott endured a few surgeries before pivoting to Gravel racing and two-wheeled adventures.
Scott has taking on a leadership role inside the Team by leading multiple rides on Zwift, both events and team races. He also became a Wicked Smart Member this year, nominated and selected by his teammates.
In this conversation, we talk about the transition across the lifespan of a sport and to a new sport, including:
- Building an engine and performance expectations
- Walking the path of transition from sport to sport
- The change in strategy in different types of events.
We also cover some of the industry changes during Covid, including racing being about more than a medal — it’s the shared experience.

Endurance Nation: Work Hard, Get Smart, Go Fast!
Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach Patrick interviews Endurance Nation member Brad Cline on his strategic body composition approach at the start of the season.
Over the course of 14 weeks, Brad lost 28lbs through a combination of Low Carb nutrition and a "relaxed" approach to Intermittent Fasting. While there is no "one size fits all" approach to body composition, Brad's work stood out for a few key reasons:
- Prioritizing body comp early in the season (Winter) vs Later as outline in our Lesson on Body Composition.

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach Patrick dives into the "other" side of doing an Ultra Challenge.
Replacing races with challenges isn't a 1-for-1 exchange. Races are about so much more than finish lines and medals. There's the planning, the trash talk, the highs and lows, and the feeling of community we get at our lowest points.
Tune in to learn why you absolutely need to sign up for a challenge this year...and why you should focus on all facets of the experience!

We all have that one unique story of how we started our endurance lifestyle journey. Very rarely do we come across someone who has started as young as EN Athlete Julia Herrmann.

Topics Include:

- Run Durability
- How she took her previous fitness from Ironman and turned it into Marathon Training
- Marathon Training Program
- The Key to living a healthy endurance lifestyle
- How she chose which race to attempt a Boston Qualifying time
- The Training to get to Boston
- Boston Marathon breakdown
- of course, some shenanigans!
What does it look like to qualify for the Boston Marathon? Well, we highlight the retrospective journey often, with a lot of our athletes making the commitment along their endurance lifestyle adventures. However, we rarely showcase an athlete at the beginning of their quest, until today!
Meet Colin Turner, new teammate to Endurance Nation who is no stranger to running but knew he needed that extra guidance to make the iconic race a reality.
Join us on this week's podcast as we get to know Colin, his endurance background and the amazing revelation he has had in six short weeks on the team.

Key Topics Include:
- Run Durability Program
- The Importance of a community
- The vicious cycle most athletes get into when trying to come back
- and of course, some team shenanigans!
Colin has set his eyes on qualifying for the Boston Marathon and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of this epic journey.

Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach P talk about one of our important "lessons learned" from running with power thanks to our partners at Stryd.
Running with power isn't just about getting stronger -- it's about becoming more efficient. And thanks to Stryd, we can now track and target our Leg Spring Stiffness (LSS) as a measure of running efficiency.
While LSS typically improves across a season as you build your running fitness, you can fast track it's improvement with non-running specific activities. Strength training, drills and plyometrics are an option, and Endurance Nation has chosen to use plyometrics as the tool for our members.

Endurance Nation: Work Hard, Get Smart, Go Fast!
Join Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach Patrick puts the Coach Hat back on to talk about a critical Spring Cleaning exercise.
One of the most important parts of being a successful endurance athlete is being able to adjust on the fly. Training, like life, is nothing more than a series of unplanned events coming at you at full speed requiring you to adapt and change on the fly. Whether it's sudden changes in weather, health, work, etc., there's always something on the daily agenda that is trying to take you away from executing the plans that you have put in place.
But it's one thing to operate willy-nilly; it's entirely different when you can work from a plan and then make adjustments accordingly to keep you on track en route to your goals.
This podcast is all about making sure that these interim decisions are just as well executed as the outline of seed the season you created earlier this year.
Key Talking Points include:
- Part One – Reviewing your expectations for the year
- Part Two — Determining what your early-season goals were and how you performed against them.
- Part Three — Grading that performance and setting interim targets for your next block of training
- Part Four — Some case studies for runners and triathletes.

Rethinking the Value of the Brick Run for Long Course Triathletes: After years of reviewing results and the feedback of our athletes, customers, and comparing both with our own training and racing experience, we have come to the conclusion that brick workouts become less valuable as the distance of your goal race increases. In other words, they are more relevant to sprint triathlon training than your next Ironman.
