Upper Left Performance #18 Dan Liburd - Training for Life and Ironmans, Sampling Athletic Pursuits

Dan Liburd has worked with professional athletes for over ten years. He is also a training fanatic, having competed in 10 Ironman events, over 15 marathons, bodybuilding, powerlifting and olympic weightlifting. In addition, he is currently pursuing his PhD and has been a driving force in my development as a person.

I brought Dan on to discuss his training and balancing all those endeavors, but beyond that he shared some incredible stories about leading a blind runner in a marathon, his first triathlon experience and how his training has helped him as a coach. Furthermore, it was fascinating to hear him discuss some of the physical changes he's undergone and how he has structured his training to compete in many disciplines at once. For Dan, his training is the ultimate learning experience and all coaches should try and adopt this mentality.
