Episode #467 Mark Allen's Crucial Role of Rest 

Welcome

Welcome to Episode #467 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance news, coaching tips and discussion.

 

It's our post-Thanksgiving show and we are thankful you are here. If you thought the cranberries, mash potatoes and pumpkin pie made the meal, wait until you see what we've been cooking up. Your post-Thanksgiving treat is expert tips from 6-time IRONMAN World Champion and the athlete named Best Endurance Athlete of all time by ESPN. Coach Mark Allen is going to share his tips on how to use this time to set the stage for your best race season in 2025.

 

Quick Intro Mention:

• Zed Pitts and others sharing feedback on last week's Building Powerful Habits discussion.

• Zed is such an amazing example of steadfastness, inspiration, and grit! I recently interviewed him on the Grit2Greatness Endurance Podcast and can’t wait to share more of him on Monday when it drops so everyone be sure to check it out!

• Congrats to those who raced Ironman Cozumel last weekend

• Taking IMU Certification and eager to bring some of the information to future episodes

• Me too! I’m really loving the format of having experts and masters sharing together in the same space. The experts are bringing in the most updated information and science and the masters share their incredible experience and wisdom. It’s truly a winning combination.

• I’m finding that every certification course I take expands my knowledge. USAT Level 1, USAT Short and Long Course, TriDot all added layers or really expanded my thinking. Each gave me concrete tools.
