-We chat with Lorrie Huegel who came back from a serious injury to complete her first Ironman in 2025. The grit and determination to continue her training was driven by her deeper connection to the Project K-9 Hero organization and in particular a very special dog K-9 Yoube. Listen in on how good friends and having a deeper "Why" to racing is important.
Project K-9 Hero is a non-profit organization that assists in the rehabilitation and re-homing of these retired K-9 Heroes that have no place to call home once their service has ended. They also provide assistance with medical expenses, food and end-of-duty services at no expense to the handler. To date they have been able to assist over 330 retired K-9 Heroes.

NO EXCUSES.
Lining up to compete in a 70.3 Ironman triathlon is hard enough. Now imagine that with the added stress of not having most of your intestines.
Brandon was dealt a blow during his college days of severe ulcerative colitis that resulted in an ileostomy and a health struggle he has been dealing with for 20 years and over 26 surgeries.
Trying to live a normal, healthy life with complications of an ostomy bag, Brandon was at the point where he just didn't want to live. Having made it through that dark time, he started running. That reignited his natural competitive tendencies to compete where it landed him at the start line of Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga this year. A harrowing journey that ends in a story not to be missed.
For anyone who has been dealt with similar health issues and needs a resource you can reach Brandon at: brjgibson@gmail.com

TOO MUCH!
Are we experiencing data overload?
From workout to sleep to sweat volume to HRV, an athlete can measure just about everything. Tom and Kenny talk about how data can be a great tool but also can lead to detrimental effects.
Do you think we are in data overload?
100 pounds overweight.
Jim Macaluso needed to do something so he started running. The weight began to fall and he recognized he had success by making goals for himself. One day he decided to join a group of runners on a quest to see how many days they can run consecutively. Fast forward three years later and Jim has run over 1200 days in a row without fail.
Tom and I sat down with Jim to talk about his amazing journey, how he maintains his resolve, and what others can do to just get moving (hint: throw away excuses!).

Being comfortable with being uncomfortable.
It’s a term we use about our physical selves. But what about our mental selves?
Sports Psychologist, Dr Tim White helps us better understand how mental state plays a crucial role in performance. From imposter syndrome, to questions about being good enough, to the “yips”, our mind can dictate how our body reacts.
A fascinating discussion on how we need to consider recognizing and embracing those things that may make us feel, well, uncomfortable.
