August 21, 2020 63 | Length of New Zealand Triathlon - Behind the Scenes
We are back, and wow, do we have some stories for you! We were both involved in the Length of NZ Triathlon project (www.lengthofnz.com) with pro triathlete Kieran McPherson. Kieran had the ambitious goal of completing a triathlon every day for 14 days to traverse the length of New Zealand. Unfortunately, due to "that virus" we had to stop on day 10. What we learned during the trip was invaluable and we'll share with you what exactly went on behind the scenes.
Also in the show, Dr Will's new ketosis diet, and Matt's back riding 20 hrs a week 😯.

July 09, 2020 60 | Winning Isn't Everything: How to Keep Pushing Regardless of Your Placing
A wise racer once said, "enjoy every win--they don't happen that much." This couldn't be more true. The reality of racing though is that most of us will never win a race. But does this really mean we aren't a good athlete? And if we do happen to win, are we a great athlete? Matt shares his thoughts from his win last weekend.
Also on this week's show, we get back to our normal segments, discussing Will's crazy training, the BrakeAce press release covered by Pinkbike and GMBN, and the possibility of a virtual TdF in TWISTWTA.

May 07, 2020 54 | Overtraining Warning Signs and Remedies.
Dr Will has had to admit he's overtrained himself. This week, Matt and Will dicuss overtraining while figuring out where Will went wrong.
Overtraining is a blanket term that describes an athletes training state in which stress has occurred without adequate rest. Acute overtraining can be remedied with a few days on the couch, whereas chronic overtraining can take months and sometimes even years to fully recover.
Sorry about Will's audio, windows changed his default mic 😭.
