Summary
Great questions today as we start with how to move up from Sprints to your first 70.3. What is a runner's high and the best way to get it? Deeper look at how to enjoy running more and finding the right mindset to love any of the three sports. Are you paying enough attention to what your body is saying? What about spin bikes for training? How do you go from a 7 hour to a 6 hour bike at Ironman? Is your appetite out of control after workouts? Looking at sugar, coffee, and other stimulants. Caloric deficits. And why doesn't Mike just dial in his potential and get on the podium?
