Listen Later

IRONMAN.

Perhaps you have done one already but would love to do better. Maybe you are inspired to give it a crack, but not really sure if you are up to the task, or perhaps you are thinking, "I could never do that with my hectic life schedule."

Today's episode will:

  • Break down the myths and perceptions that often send time-starved hopefuls down the wrong path of their IRONMAN journey

  • Outline a method to ensure that a successful journey to IRONMAN doesn’t equal obsession, fatigue, and destruction of the other important parts of life.

  • Help build a framework of training to prepare you to be successful, but also improve your health, performance across other parts of life, and enable you to actually ENJOY the journey.

It is a fact. IRONMAN is a personal challenge that requires great commitment, logistical considerations, and training. Your journey will include plenty of obstacles, adversity, and setbacks, BUT it doesn't have to come at the expense of every other aspect of your life. In fact, IRONMAN training can enhance your life if done properly.

Today, Matt outlines how.
