Durability Over Ego: Our 2026 Plan
In this real-world episode, Beth and I share our 2026 event calendar, from a 50k ultra and a 40k paddle-board race to a 2.4 mile Caribbean swim and a 700km gravel bike ride following one of the Camino trails in Spain. More importantly, we explain how we’re applying lessons from recent podcasts directly into our own training and lifestyle
Different disciplines. Same foundations.
5 Talking Points
Run-walk intervals to reduce impact, improve pacing and finish stronger.
Lifting is non-negotiable for bone health, posture and long-term durability.
Spreading protein across the day to support recovery and maintain muscle as we age
Better fuelling, smarter decisions under fatigue and protecting consistency.
Using heat exposure strategically and being intentional with alcohol to improve sleep and recovery
3 Takeaways
Quote
“The real story isn’t the events. The foundations are the things that help you win.”
