From a 2:53 marathon debut to 17 Ironmans, World Championship qualifications, and a 2nd overall finish in his first 80K ultra, this episode dives into the mindset and strategies behind elite endurance performance.

We cover training for Ironman and ultra marathons, how to balance speed with endurance, the role of coaching, fueling, and recovery, and what it really takes to perform at the highest level. This is a conversation about consistency, resilience, and learning to enjoy the journey instead of chasing pressure.
