The crew takes a few minutes to discuss our upcoming fundraiser. We are putting on the Pascack Valley Triathlon again this year. This is a phenomenal beginner tri, or a great tune up race for the seasoned athlete.

The coaches discuss how the Eagleman prep is going and our expectations.

We then take an absolute deep dive into the world of "marginal" gains. We discuss all of the things that can make your next race the fastest ever. From the most expensive to the lest expensive, from the biggest savings down to the smallest. Everyone will be able to find something to help make them faster.

Rich, Marilyn and Greg traveled out to Quakertown PA for our season opening race. We spend the first half of the episode discussing how the day went for us and what our takeaways were. Part 2 of the episode was more about how we rest and recover for our races. We dive into taper techniques, recovery methods and all the things we do (and don't do) to try and show up at our best.

Today we get some Deep Learning help with our Q&A session. We bring in the bots to give us some discussion topics. Does ChatGPT come up with some good ideas, or is it better to leave our questions up to the listeners? Listen along, laugh, maybe learn something :) and let us know what you think.

Tonight we are joined by our teammate Yvonne Losino, who helps us dive into a wide ranging discussion that touches on a lot of different ideas, but circles around the idea of keeping the integrity of your training and workouts. From how to modify things when you aren't feeling it, or what to do when sick and injured. Listen along to learn how to roll with the punches and keep things moving in the right direction. Also, get the backstory on the oysters we talked about last week.

Today the coaches take a different approach to discussing training. We work on a little mental exercise to help you figure out ways to stop getting bogged down in data. From trying to unplug and focus on your inner feelings to how to get into a flow state. Is your data holding you back from reaching your true potential? We go through all these things and more. Listen along and leave a comment on your favorite ways to unplug. And a special segment at the end for those of you who want to laugh. Let us know how you enjoy your Oysters :)

Today the coaches sit down and discuss a topic that might not get as much press as it should, but might just be the key to unlocking your next great race result. We dig into the mental side of things and talk about some of the ideas we use to help us get through a tough block of training, or power through those really hard workouts with things like mantras and visualization. We talk about some of our most difficult moments in races and different tactics we used to get through them and come out stronger on the other side.

Normally we spend our time telling all of you what you should be doing. Today we flip the script and discuss how our training is going. Where we are at with everything. What's working and what still needs to be fine tuned. We discuss expectations for our upcoming season debut and how it all fits into our season long plan. Everyone should be able to learn something from all the mistakes we've made :)

This is the episode that almost wasn't. Coach Greg totally messed this one up, and forgot to hit the record button when we started. Luckily we had a backup recording along with video going that allowed us to make this episode happen. Now that the crisis has been averted we've been stockpiling listener questions for a couple of weeks, and feel like we've got enough to do an entire show of them. Our listeners ask, so we answered. The questions run the gamut from quick and simple to deeper and more thought provoking. Listen along, learn something new and laugh along with us as we discuss all of the questions. As always, if you've got any questions you'd like to see us answer leave a comment below, and we'll be sure to answer it the next time we do a Q&A.

You're doing what you think is all the right training, but you aren't improving any more. The team discusses some of the reasons you might not be seeing the same year to year improvement you saw early on in your journey. We talk about metrics to look at, what the training should look like, how to structure the season, and how to know when to reign things in a little.
