Summary

If your race-engine is still revving yet you crave more recovery time, like Tammy, you’ll welcome the details of a 10-day training program Coach Dimity outlines in this episode. Keeping with the-less-is-more theme, Dimity details the bare minimum training required for a half-Ironman triathlon, like Amy is contemplating. Then the host-duo shares suggestions about integrating a second sporting passion (like pickleball!) into a training cycle, in response to Kate’s question. Before the Q+As start, the hosts talk about the state of women’s pro sports, prompted by Sarah’s recent visit to The Sports Bra. Please call 470-BADASS1 (470-223-2771) to record your question.

0:45.4	press and it still does get a lot of national press. And it is almost a literal stone's throw from
0:52.1	my house. But now they are, they are, franchising is not the
0:56.9	right word, they're opening up other sports bras and other markets. And I want to say it's four

1:17.1	let me,
1:17.1	let me,
