Summary

Some triathletes enter the sport and exit relatively quickly. Others plug in and stay for a while. But then there are lifers, who start their triathlon journey and stay as long as possible. Fresh off of his 50th IRONMAN, Coach Kurt Madden joins Coach Jenn Reinhart to share how they have both stayed in the sport for almost 50 years. They’ll discuss strategies for keeping your body healthy, maintaining motivation to train, when to consider a seasonal break, and plugging into your local tri community. Through today’s conversation we hope you find the inspiration and know how to stay in the sport for years to come.
