Welcome

Welcome to Episode #177 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  You are listening to your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance goals.  We are your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock.   Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion. 

This is our Mothers Day special and we've decided to dedicate today's show to mothers everywhere.  We know there are a lot of mothers that listen to the show and we want to take an episode to honor you for all that you juggle and sacrifice.  If you are not a mother, we know you have one.  Forward this episode to Mom and tell the Rich and Bill wish them a special day! go thank your mother!  In honor of Mothers Day we've decided to share a relatively recent interview we did with one of our favorite mom pro triathletes, Meredith Kessler.  Our planned guest, coach Andrew Simmons of Lifelong Endurance coaching will be on next week's show to talk about running and training tips.

 

Thanks to last week's guests Tyler Hamilton and Jim Capra.  We talked to Tyler and Jim about Tyler Hamilton Training and their very individualized approach to cycling coaching.

• Coach Mikael Eriksson of Scientific Triathlon and "That Triathlon Show" podcast is joining us about training zones and how to make sure they are accurate and current.  With the context of the training (energy zones) we are going to talk about the importance of training volume in different training zones to achieve the right progressive overload and adaptations, and the many issues that can come from not executing the right training.
