Coach Will from Tri-Hard Endurance Sports Coaching is back to talk about New England Virtual Triathlon, how you can get ready for the event.  How many Brick Workouts do you need to get in?  We talk about using Rate of Perceived Exertion compared to other metrics.  

Linda is a local athlete, holistic Nurse, Bay State Triathlon Team member, Yogi and all around amazing person to speak with on this episode.  She provides us with some insightful and thought provoking conversations about what is truly essential in this time.  And how we can take stock in our Health being more important than economics…What are the benefits of endurance sports?  Physical, mental and spiritual...Namaste...

Don’t let her Zen fool you, as she’s a tough competitor who endures many adventures from the Alcatraz Swim, PMC, Ultra Marathons, to stand up paddle boarding across Cape Cod Bay and the quest for her first ironman.  A great conversation...
