June 24, 2020 15:06 - 59 minutes - 81.7 MBLet's face it. It's getting hot as hell outside and a lot of us are also training indoors more.

Ironman Memphis 70.3 Course Rundown
June 17, 2020 18:12 - 1 hour - 94 MBTriathletes, this is the one you've all been waiting for. No better place to get your course recon than from a couple of shlubs that ride and run the course on the weekly. You can listen to the out of towners who used Google earth to spot some key landmarks, but GPS mapping software generally sucks at elevation and we know these routes like the back of our hands. And we have veiny hands. So let's break down the Ironman Memphis 70.3 course and prepare you mentally for what's to come this Oc...
Why We Hate ERG Mode For Indoor Cycling
June 04, 2020 15:05 - 15 minutes - 20.8 MBIn this sprint episode we spark a revolt against the use of ERG mode when cycling indoors. If you don't know what ERG mode is, this one may not be for you. But if you are a cyclist or triathlete and spend a reasonable amount of time riding on a smart trainer, we're going to enlighten you and give you all the reasons we believe ERG mode is hindering the quality of your precious training time. If you disagree, we want to know! Feel free to drop us a comment.
The Keys to Properly Pacing A Max Mile Effort
May 14, 2020 15:38 - 15 minutes - 21.6 MBWith no races to be had right now, we have a lot of our runners and triathletes doing max mile assessments right now to gage progress in their training. In this sprint episode of Coaches on Couches we talk with our good buddy and coach Nick Dwyer on the keys to properly pacing a mile race. It's not a sprint, that's for sure.

How to Talk Like An Endurance Athlete
April 22, 2020 16:02 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MBAs long time cycling, running, and triathlon coaches, there are a lot of words and phrases we throw around on a day to day basis. "Going blocks" is a good example of a term that turns heads like a confused puppy. To be honest, we don't even think about the misinterpretations or political correctness when we get into coach mode. But we do realize that a lot of the things we say may be confusing to people new to endurance sports. So today we are going to run through a number of words and phr...
Adapting Endurance Training Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic
March 24, 2020 21:05 - 48 minutes - 67.1 MBGyms and pools are closed, races have been canceled, and most people are stuck inside. We've spent the last 2 weeks adapting the training of our cyclists, runners, and triathletes to better suit the present "normal" during the efforts to control the coronavirus outbreak.

Finding Your Ideal Diet For Optimizing Performance
February 12, 2020 16:38 - 46 minutes - 64.3 MBSimply put, there is an insane amount of conflicting information out there in the world of nutrition right now. The confusion is multiplied for cyclist, runners, and triathletes that think they are already doing a pretty good job with their day to day nutrition. Plant based? Ketogenic? Vegetarian? Whole 30? Beach Body? Kangatarian? WTF!? It's a thing. In this episode we are going to try to wade through all the BS and give you the major points that will actually provide benefit to your heal...
Vanlife for the Endurance Athlete
January 28, 2020 16:47 - 46 minutes - 64.5 MBThis episode is less on performance enhancement and more on enhancing the experience of training and racing. We recently purchased a couple of adventure vans build by the good people at VanDOit in Blue Springs, MO. The truth is we did a ton of research before pulling the trigger and spending our hard earned dollars with VanDOit. But for every cyclist, runner, or triathlete, a camper van or adventure van can make an otherwise awesome adventure, epic. We talk about why we wanted adventure vans...

January 17, 2020 19:50 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBIn this episode we chat about the pros and cons of choosing to coach yourself, versus choosing a free or paid training plan, versus hiring a coach. There are a lot of factors that go into choosing which is best for you. Things like budget, spare time, and the learning curve of each will play a big role on the route you should go. So if you are a cyclist, triathlete, or runner staring down a big season with big goals, and don't have a road map yet, join us for another round of Coaches on Couc...
How to Become An Early Riser Athlete
December 24, 2019 16:17 - 38 minutes - 52.6 MBSome cyclist, runners, and triathletes just are not morning people. Which is odd, because most races start at the butt crack of dawn.

Big Winter Cycling Gains By Maximizing Indoor Training
November 20, 2019 16:50 - 55 minutes - 76.2 MBToday on the couch we are going to give you our exact recipe for making massive gains on the bike over the winter. This usually means a decent amount of indoor training due to colder weather and less daylight. But that's not an excuse to hibernate! Nobody wants to revive their base fitness every single spring. On the contrary, a lot of athletes commit to do the work, and when group rides and racing start back up in March they are ripping people's legs off! If you are one of those cyclist...
The Magic of Layering for Cold Weather Training
November 05, 2019 17:32 - 36 minutes - 50.3 MBIt's that time of the year. Long sleeves, short sleeves, no sleeves. Shorts, tights, thermals. Thick gloves, or just the liners. If I overdo it I'll be soaking wet. If I under do it I'll freeze, or at best be the person with the bloody nipple kit. Fear not, we're here to walk you through the magic of layering...yes, via some simple layering techniques you too can survive almost any training and racing conditions Mother Nature can conjure up. So grab your balaclava, find your quiet spot, ...
From Dirt to Ironman with Bobby Weakley
October 29, 2019 14:34 - 50 minutes - 70.1 MBFire fighter, soon to be father, master movie quoter. We're going to talk about Bobby' Weakley's transition...ummm...from mountain bike specialist to ironman finisher. And yes, we start off with WHY. Then the HOW. It wasn't an easy road to travel. Ridicule from his co-workers and mountain bike buddies. Learning to swim as an adult. Running on road when there's a perfectly good trail nearby. Tough stuff. But ultimately it culminated to a great performance at Ironman Chattanooga in 2019. Bob...
The Cyclist's Guide to Running
October 21, 2019 21:24 - 32 minutes - 44.2 MBToday on the couch we are going to chat about how a cyclist can incorporate running into their training regimen without completely demolishing themselves and losing fitness due to injury. The aerobic engine is there, but the durability is not...just yet. So if you are a 2 wheeler that wants to get more bang for your time crunched buck, build some bone density, and maintain a high level of fitness in the off season, join us for another episode of Coaches on Couches.

Making the Most of Your Off Season

If you are a fall and winter hibernator, but have real goals for next year, you won't want to miss this! Shout ...
Dealing with Extreme Heat and Humidity
October 02, 2019 16:38 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MBSince summer isn't going out without a fight, we are going to drop our main tips and strategies for dealing with extreme heat and humidity. The topic has been swirling the web it seems, and we think we might know a thing or two about a thing or two on this one since we live and train in the armpit of the United States. That's not a jab at Memphis. We love our hometown. It's just hot AF here. First we focus on our big 3 methods of preparing for a blazing inferno, and then we get on to actua...

Taper Like a Boss and Manage Taper Insanity
September 17, 2019 01:15 - 42 minutes - 58.1 MBIt never fails that within a "tapering period" (we are not big fans of the term), a lot of athletes lose their ever lovin' minds! They just can't handle changes in volume, plan poorly, freak out, and make stupid mistakes that affect their race performance. NOT YOU! WHY? Because on this episode we are going to talk you through how to taper like a boss and manage the temporary insanity that can go along with it. So if you are a late season competitor, tri, bike, run, whatever, put on your ar...
The Golden Rules of Bike Racing As a Team
September 03, 2019 14:45 - 48 minutes - 66.9 MBIf you race your bike with a group of other people in the same clothing as you, be it a road race, criterium, or on gravel, there are a set of commandments thou shalt follow 95% of the time to insure you all race as a team. Why? A team is stronger than any one individual 95% of the time. It's true that overall team strategies work about 5% of the time in amateur racing, but if you follow these simple rules your squad will increase those odds tremendously and hopefully put one of your riders ...
You Had a Bad Day...Let’s Deal With It!
August 23, 2019 23:14 - 44 minutes - 61.8 MBGuess what? Stuff happens. As a triathlete, cyclist, or runner, if you swim, bike, and/or run fairly often, you are going to have some bad days here and there. Some that are out of your control and some that you could have prevented. It's inevitable. Happens to the best in the world, and the newbie alike. The 3 most important things you can hold on to when coping with a crap day are: 1. You’ll learn more from a bad day than a good day...any day. 2. Not one single day, workout, or rac...

Benefits of a Coach to the “Non-Competitive” Athlete
July 27, 2019 23:23 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBThis week, we discuss the benefits of having a coach to those who don’t consider themselves competitive in their sport. We answer a listener question: “with little hope or desire to become a pro, what are the reasons to train with a coach?” You may not think you’re (fill in the blank) enough to work with a coach. But the truth is, if you have a desire to improve in any aspect of health, wellness, or sport performance, a good coach is worth his or her weight in gold. If you’ve ever considered ...
Is There a Downside to Racing Too Much?
July 23, 2019 05:19 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MBWe all LOVE to race. Some fast. Some long. But for the competitive minded person, racing is the reward! It's why we continue to put in the work week after week. It's why we get up early and train late into the day. It's why we take a pass on some social outings and refrain from...ummmm...lots of things. But, could there be a downside to racing too much? The answer is a resounding YES! We know, say it ain't so! Your whole foundation and identity as an athlete has just been shook to the core. B...

Double Peaking and the Mid Season Transition Period
June 17, 2019 21:30 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBIn this episode, the coaches chat about the purpose and importance of the double peak method of training and the mid season transition.

Enter the double peak format! Even if you don't have "goal races" a double peak training plan has been shown to produce better results over time. And guess what? We are in that very...

Most Common Bike Fitting Issues
April 07, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBIn this episode we chat about the most common issues we see when fitting bikes. We've been fitting bikes professionally for the last decade and have seen a lot.

Neither can be ignored if you truly want to be dialed in. We also dive into Coach Dale's philosophy and fitting process since it differs from a lot of fitters. With a ba...
