Can you sense a theme in the title?

John and Rob discuss training in a fasted state, how that can help endurance, and some of the methods to use. They also delve a bit into Calorie Counting as it pertains to Weight Loss.

A coaching client and long time friend of the show and blog, Rob Bozovich, sits in this week with John to discuss Mental Sabotage in training and racing; what it is, how to recognize it, and ways to avoid it. Also, some discussion about the difference between exercising and training, exercise addiction, the Endurance Athlete Triad, and using metrics in training.

The Back of Pack URL is set to expire so I want to take the time to post a few episodes from that era that was both fun and useful. This is Episode 53 and was a chant between Andrew and me with John Bingham, aka The Penguin. Very insightful talk and fun to listen to this again.

How many of these mistakes have we all made on race day, even though we know better, and how can you train for hills and mountains if you live in an area (like John does) with neither of them?

Tune in this week to find out to get our take on these issues, and probably some other random thoughts thrown in for good measure.

Meghan Fanning joins John this week to discuss the issue with life changes and how that affects training and weight. From relationships starting or ending, babies arriving, weddings, children starting school (or not being in school, life can throw quite a few monkey wrenches into a well thought out training plan or weight loss goal. How do you navigate the course?

Yes, it is true! The whole episode this week is on cycling. We have been getting requests to go to square one on some of the disciplines we cover on this show (swimming, cycling, running, trail running, etc.) so this week we will be talking about cycling and how, as a beginner, you navigate the oftentimes confusing world of something as simple as riding a bike. 

Topics will be:

1. Choosing the right bike type

We are hoping that this is a useful show for everyone, even those that have been cycling quite awhile. We can't wait for the cards and letters from the few that might disagree with some points or views we have, but that's how we learn right!?

#teamE4E

Randy is back and the show starts off with a discussion about his weight loss using a medication and delves into the importance of family support, veganism, ethical dilemmas, and some discussion about the racing for the rest of the year and next.

Meaghan Nana-Sinkam is back filling in again while Randy and his family are in Mexico. This week the discussion revolves around the risk and rewards of going public with fears and successes, like in blogs and podcasts, as well as talking about becoming addicted to race sign-ups, even when you cannot be ready, and the fear of missing out (FOMO).

Meaghan Nana-Sinkam joins John as a guest co-host this week to talk about functional fitness and how is it different or similar to Crossfit.

They also discuss the two races John has been in since the last show (Clermont Series 5K and the Picnic Island Adventure Run)

How the Shakeology shakes are working as far as energy and weight loss

A bit more about Infinitus. Are calling trails in Florida and trails in Vermont the same name making any sense. The fine line between negativity and reality.

Some discussion about the direction Meaghan has been going in her training, her accidental acquiring of a coach, and trying to PR a mile. Some noticing of the sentiment in the recreational runner community that there's more respect the longer you run and some disdain for short races. We both challenge that. Do people think that Usain Bolt is less deserving of respect than Meb? Or what he does is easier than what Meb does?
