In this podcast Coach Steve talks about some of the biggest mistakes athletes make when going from indoor training to outdoor training. Steve also goes on a rant about learning how to not be a quitter.

Who wants free coaching in for the month of May? We know training by yourself is hard. If you've hit a wall and need someone to hold you accountable, this is your opportunity. If you need motivation, knowledge on training and racing, ARE YOU NOT IMPROVING? This is your chance. Limited only to 5 spots.

We also hear from Coach Amanda Marek. We learn about her background as a college runner at North Central College. How she got into coaching. How she went from 6:03 to a 5:30 Ironman bike split, her determination to qualify for Kona.

Get ready to learn how the Pro's do it. Michael came back from the Brooks Beast altitude camp where he got to learn how some of the best athletes in the world operate.

There are a lot of good nuggets of information that you can learn and use in your own training.

Tyler Le Roy, Ironman Louiseville Champion. 

Not many people will earn that title, listen to how Tyler developed his mind and body to become strong enough to earn the title.
