This is a straight up philosophizing episode that took a sharp turn into a talk with myself about my upcoming jump into the world of endurance triathlon competition.

Coming out of my last 50 mile race, I started thinking about what kind of person gravitates towards these ultra endurance events. Thinking about myself and Tribal Training head coach and founder Ryan Dreyer helped my come up with two frames, the endurance athlete who's addicted to the 'chase' and the one who needs it for the opening up of 'space.'

But as I went through the different sketches of these general characters, I realized in real time that this is actually a podcast about my own internal dialogue about reticence about entering into a new arena for myself, one I've long thought was just 'not for me.'

So in the end, this podcast is an excellent example of how making meaning through the training ends up revealing tremendous lessons of self while giving you the clear path forward on how you can improve current limits by training and competing from the heart! Basically I end up coaching myself the same way I coach my guys, how cool!
