Sometimes endurance sports can be overwhelming and confusing. Understanding the nuances of training and how to stay healthy and making progress can leave you scratching your head sometimes. On top of all that, knowing how to fuel for performance and overall fitness increases the complexity of the sport even more. The Endurance Athlete Journey podcast is your guiding light on the path to success in your endurance sports journey.
While many athletes started competing as children, I did not find my sport until I was in my 30's. I went from a 365 lb. pack-a-day smoker who could not walk 4-5 blocks without my back hurting to a 2x full ironman and 8x half ironman finisher. I am a certified run and triathlon coach and I formed Tabula Rasa Racing as a way to leverage my knowledge and experiences in endurance sports and give others the roadmap to accomplishing their own athletic goals.
