   Number 1: What We've Learned from Testing Thousands of Athletes: How testing body composition, metabolism, fitness and sweat testing can unlock performance

   In this episode of the Working Triathlete Podcast, we sit down with Kurt Lockhart of Transformat10n Lab in Nashville, Tennessee, to discuss what they've learned from testing thousands of athletes. We explore how body composition analysis, resting metabolic rate testing, metabolic and aerobic fitness assessments, lactate testing, and sweat testing can provide valuable insights into performance, health, and longevity in endurance sports. We dive into common patterns seen among endurance athletes, including low energy availability, body composition misconceptions, fueling mistakes, and the physiological factors that often limit performance. We also discuss the practical application of DEXA scans, resting metabolic rate testing, VO₂ max testing, substrate utilization analysis, lactate testing, and advanced metabolic modeling to help athletes better understand how they produce and use energy. Whether you're chasing a Kona qualification, a personal best, or simply looking to train and fuel more effectively, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how modern performance testing can help athletes make smarter decisions and unlock their full potential.

   Number 4: The 6 Most Important Movement Priorities for the Ironman Run

   The 6 Most Important Movement Priorities for the Ironman Run In this episode, we break down the real keys to Ironman run performance with a focus on movement quality. We dive into posture under fatigue, cadence control, pelvic stability, arm swing, and what really happens to your mechanics when glycogen drops and stiffness fades. This is not about looking pretty. It is about minimizing energy leaks and protecting pace when it matters most. If you want to run strong off the bike and close instead of survive, this episode is for you. 1. Posture under fatigue 2. Cadence as a protective mechanism 3. Hip stability and pelvic control 4. Form when glycogen is low 5. Arm swing/rhythm 6. Training movement quality in context

   Number 5: The Most Important Ironman Workouts Nobody Brags About

   Everyone focuses on the epic long ride. The monster brick. The lung-busting VO2 session. But the workouts that actually matter for Ironman are often the least glamorous. In this episode, we break down the meat-and-potatoes sessions that build durability — the kind that determines who holds it together after five, eight, or ten hours of racing. We cover: • Frequent supporting runs that build resilience and protect the marathon • Long, steady, form-focused swims that develop confidence and control at Ironman pace • Cycling sessions that distribute tempo throughout the ride to build real fatigue resistance None of these workouts are flashy or light up Strava, but they compound fitness over time. Ironman rewards consistency. It rewards durability. It rewards athletes who fall apart the least. If you can train in a way you could repeat for 20 weeks straight, you’re probably on the right path.
