1 Hour and 20 Minute IM Marathon PR with Pro Steph Clutterbuck

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 • Duration 46:12

“The 3:05 was a shock. It’s not something that I expected. The approach that we’re taking is how quick can you get on the volume of training that you’re currently doing, and then you can increase it, and then you can get faster,” says Steph Clutterbuck, a professional triathlete, as she reflects on her remarkable marathon performance at Ironman Chattanooga and the gradual, deliberate strategy that led to her unexpected personal best.

Steph joins Brad Miles in this episode and opens up about her journey from swimmer and rower to professional triathlete, with only ten months under her belt as a pro. How did she manage to secure a Kona qualification so early on? Steph shares her strategy of focusing on quality over quantity in her run training and explains how minimal run volume led to her unexpected marathon success. But what did it take for her to refine her form while staying injury-free? Steph talks about the mental and physical aspects of racing and also shares the mindset shifts that helped her perform at the highest level. As she gears up for Kona, her insights into balancing ambition with smart training make this episode a must-listen for athletes aiming to push their limits.

Quotes

“I wasn’t running efficiently enough to be able to execute run sessions. I was just getting so tired from trying to hit paces that I should have been able to hit early last year around a 1.24 half marathon, which isn’t awful. It’s pretty good. I couldn't get anywhere close to half marathon race pace and training. So, it just wasn’t making sense. Whereas now, I’m able to run efficiently enough that I can actually execute run sessions.” (24:44 | Steph Clutterbuck)
“In my mind, I needed to run more without running more. I think I don’t know how else to explain it. All I needed to ingrain was better movement patterns, and then it’s all about habit forming. We all know that the best way to form a habit is to do the action more frequently. But with running, when you’re running at full body weight, the injury risk increases exponentially with it. Whereas with the lever system, I can run more without running more, but I can reduce my body weight and therefore reduce the risk of injury.” (26:07 | Steph Clutterbuck)
“I just was in this completely zen flow state where the world seemed to cease to exist. I was just running and I was focusing on the sound of my feet hitting the floor.” (38:15 | Steph Clutterbuck)

Slowtwitch Announces New Tri Team Portal

Wednesday, October 9, 2024 • Duration 49:57

“I want athletes to have success. I want companies to have success, and I want race directors to have success,” shares Eric Wynn, the president of Slowtwitch, an influential platform for endurance athletes. He joins Brad Miles in this episode to share his journey from being a casual user of Slowtwitch to eventually leading the platform, which has now become a go-to resource for the triathlon community.

Eric introduces the Tri Team Portal, which is designed to improve communication and engagement for endurance teams and offers a much-needed alternative to platforms like Facebook. How will this portal change the way teams connect? And why does Slowtwitch focus so much on supporting smaller businesses and maintaining a space of integrity? If you’re wondering what the future holds for endurance sports communities, Eric offers some great insights into how Slowtwitch is working to lead the way.

Quotes

“One of the things we have is this crazy, cool online forum community that started 23 years ago by Dan Anfield. It’s this really cool community where people are able to gather and share information.” (06:28 | Eric Wynn)
“At the end of the day, Dan is very analytical. He’s not very digital. He’s very hands-on. And I am not that analytical, I’m very visual. And so, I felt like I brought that to Slowtwitch from a storytelling perspective.” (10:20 | Eric Wynn)
“We started this company called Slowtwitch Media House, which is essentially a digital agency centered around the mission to make sure that smaller companies are able to flourish inside the endurance space.” (11:06 | Eric Wynn)
“I feel like I’ve had success. I want athletes to have success. I want companies to have success, and I want race directors to have success. Because to me, it’s where I find a lot of peace and joy, which is odd because it’s a very selfish space. I really enjoy what we’re able to do in this environment.” (13:12 | Eric Wynn)
“We’re going to launch this before all the teams really get settled into communicating with their team members for 2025. We’re super pumped because it’s a huge driver for us. More people on the site means the community can grow, more people can look for information in the forum, and new users can contribute. They can do so in an environment where they feel safe until they venture into the actual forum itself.” (40:22 | Eric Wynn)

Top Running Shoe Picks with Thomas Neuberger, Believe In The Run

Season 2 · Episode 13

Wednesday, May 29, 2024 • Duration 43:48

“If I think about the biggest impact anything’s had on my life, running has probably had the largest impact,” says Thomas Neuberger, the founder of Believe in the Run. Thomas reflects on his initial experiences in running and how a personal blog documenting his TransRockies race training evolved into a leading voice in running gear reviews.

Thomas shares the importance of community in running, highlighting how he started the Faster Bastards—a running club that fosters camaraderie through events and shakeout runs.

Tune in to gain insights into the continuous innovation in running footwear, including a recent trip to Adidas Headquarters. Learn about Thomas’s top running shoe picks for training and racing, and discover how he utilizes the Lever Movement system for injury recovery.

Quotes

“When the website started up for TransRockies, I started getting inquiries and people were asking, ‘what gear are you wearing? What are you doing? You’re doing a lot of mileage to gear up for this challenge, what type of gear are you using?’ So I started talking about it. And as I started talking about it, people cared less about what training I was doing and more about the gear I was wearing. So I learned really quickly, like, ‘Oh, if I want attention, talk about the gear.’ And so it quickly became a very gear-centric place to be.” (10:44 | Thomas Neuberger)
“When you’re running, it’s not necessarily an expensive sport, but if you want all the gear and stuff, it gets expensive pretty quick.” (11:24 | Thomas Neuberger)
“We’re in a really nice moment in the running shoe industry where there’s a lot of good product out there.” (23:56 | Thomas Neuberger)

Ups and Downs of Professional Running

Season 2 · Episode 12

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 • Duration 36:44

What keeps Dutch Olympian Mike Foppen running despite setbacks and injuries? This episode dives into his athletic journey from soccer player to national record holder in track, exploring the challenges and triumphs he’s faced, including his recovery from an injury at the Tokyo Olympics. Mike discusses his transition to full-time running, his goal to break the sub-13-minute barrier in the 5k, and how the Lever system has been crucial in his training and recovery phases.

Listeners will gain insights into the demanding world of elite athletics, discovering how Mike handles injuries, prepares for major competitions like the Olympics, and utilizes modern training aids to enhance performance. Whether you’re an aspiring runner or a seasoned sports fan, this episode provides a thorough insight into overcoming obstacles and pursuing excellence in high-stakes competition.

Quotes

“I’m basically preparing for the Olympics as if I’m already qualified.” (07:51 | Mike Foppen)
“We’re always balancing on a thin line when it comes to injuries and training, but I think I didn’t go too far, I would say. I just took a lot of risks last year. And it’s part of the game.” (11:35 | Mike Foppen)
“I think for rehabilitation, it was mostly the exercises that really helped my tendons. So you got to build up, of course. I started doing alternative training first, I think, so not directly running. I really wanted three full weeks of running then started building that up with the lever. Actually, that’s where the lever got involved as well. I borrowed it from another runner I know. That really helped me in the build up by just increasing the mileage, but being able to keep it under control.” (24:14 | Mike Foppen)

The World of Ultraman Training and Racing

Season 2 · Episode 11

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 • Duration 33:02

“Going into Ultraman, it was making it to the starting line healthy and proving to myself that I could do big things healthy. I did that and I succeeded,” says Ultraman athlete Katie Solbo. In this episode, the seasoned triathlete discusses the extreme challenges of competing in one of the world's most grueling endurance races.

Recently securing the second female spot in an Ultraman event—just minutes behind the leader—Katie delves into her meticulous preparation and race performance. She shares details of her specialized training regimen for the Ultraman. After overcoming multiple foot surgeries, Katie adopted a training approach focused on low-intensity, high-volume workouts, advised by her coach. This strategy incorporated the use of the Lever to minimize impact and aid recovery crucial for building endurance and managing fatigue in such a demanding race.

Katie also explores broader strategies for tackling extreme physical challenges, discussing sustainable training methods and the mental toughness required for ultra-endurance events. Her insights are valuable for athletes considering an Ultraman race, emphasizing the importance of consistent, gentle training and thorough mental preparation for formidable competitions.

Quotes

“I got into this sport just by the allure of fitness itself. And then I was like, ‘Oh, I wonder what it looks like to do all three together.’ And so I fell face first in the triathlon. And my why has been geared towards achieving bigger and greater things for me. So whether that was a world championship or a PR and like an everyday role out of bed, it’s like I want to be faster, better, stronger. That’s my ultimate goal.” (03:09 | Katie Solbo)
“Going into Ultraman, it was making it to the starting line healthy and proving to myself that I could do big things healthy. I did that and I succeeded.” (03:38 | Katie Solbo)
“The biggest lesson I learned—and I definitely took that into the Ultraman Florida training—was that the lever is my best friend. For my body, for the way my muscles recover, for my propensity of injury, I needed to put much more emphasis on staying on the lever than having outdoor miles. The importance was just there for me.” (12:28 | Katie Solbo)

I literally just enjoy trying to run my own PB, whether I come first in a race or last in a race, but I've run a PB, that for me is what is the motivating factor. I like that feeling of pushing yourself and knowing that you’ve done it.” (02:54 | Eilish McColgan)

2-Month Return to Run to Get Ready for Lululemon’s Ultra: FURTHER

Season 2 · Episode 9

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 49:56

Can one return to form as an ultra runner with just two months of a recovery program? Stefanie Flippin, a Lululemon athlete, is living proof that it's possible. In this episode, Stefanie takes us through her journey as a physician, a professional runner and a coach. She discusses her recovery and training following a bone stress injury that sidelined her at the end of 2023. This eventually culminated in her triumphant performance at the Lululemon FURTHER event—a six-day ultramarathon spanning over 100 miles.

Stefanie touches on the specific challenges and adjustments in her training leading up to the Lululemon FURTHER event, particularly her cautious approach following her recovery from COVID-19 and a subsequent stress reaction in her sacrum. Thanks to the Lever system, she managed a controlled and effective return to running, gradually increasing her outdoor activity while managing the load on her body to prevent further injury.

Beyond her achievements, Stefanie is deeply committed to fostering growth within the trail running community, promoting diversity, and improving accessibility within the sport. Her story is an example of resilience, strategic recovery, and the innovative use of training tools like the Lever Movement system to overcome setbacks.

Quotes

“I’m really opposed to the idea of waiting until your golden years. People just work so, so hard. You can work hard but still enjoy the moment that you’re in now and not waste—I don’t want to say waste your youth—but these are the golden years. Every moment is that. I don’t think that we should wait until we’re 65 to pursue what sets our heart on fire.” (16:09 | Stefanie Flippin)
“What do I actually want to accomplish in this sport? Is it purely performance-oriented? And I came to the conclusion that it’s actually not. My performance goals are very important to me and I feel like I hold those tightly in one hand. But on the other hand, I feel like it’s also just as important to me to build community, to empower other runners, to build diversity in this sport, and to make it as accessible as possible.” (19:34 | Stefanie Flippin)

80% of Runners get Injured Every Year, Can We Change That

Season 2 · Episode 8

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 • Duration 34:28

Each year, 80% of runners face injuries. Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards, the head physical therapist for the Atlanta Track Club, addresses this high incidence of running injuries. She brings a wealth of experience, from authoring books and conducting pivotal research to hosting her own podcast and running a specialized PT practice for runners and triathletes. She also introduces RunSource, an app designed by her company, FastBananas, to transform runners' approaches to training and recovery.

Dr. Kate emphasizes the holistic care provided at the Atlanta Track Club, where her holistic approach extends beyond treating physical injuries, considering athletes' mental and emotional health. She details how the club's integrated team of dietitians, psychologists, and chiropractors works together to prevent overtraining and boost performance by prioritizing the overall health of each athlete.

By discussing the risks of following popular fitness and diet trends without considering individual needs, Dr. Kate stresses the importance of expert guidance. She points out the benefits of using heart rate variability (HRV) tracking as a tool for monitoring training loads and preventing overtraining. Her clinical use of the Lever system is particularly beneficial for postpartum athletes and those recovering from stress fractures or managing tendinopathies. The system, an essential part of injury recovery prehab, allows athletes to train effectively while minimizing injury risks by offloading some of their body weight.

Dr. Kate reminds runners to listen to their bodies and adjust their training schedules accordingly. She stresses the importance of rest, recovery, and not being rigidly tied to training plans.

Quotes

“Runners getting injured hasn't changed in 40 years. The same amount of runners are getting injured all of the time. And no matter what happens from a shoe standpoint, or what happens in terms of like the coolest technology out there, or that we're tracking this, we're tracking that, nothing has changed. I believe that nothing has changed because we haven't really looked at the athlete from that holistic view.” (08:31 | Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards)

Season 2 · Episode 7

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 • Duration 51:47

Sid's story is a reminder of how professional athletes go through complexities of recovery and competition, highlighting the realities of professional sports and the mental and physical strength required to succeed in the long run.

Quotes

“There's this huge transition from an amateur to professional. And you kind of get caught up initially into like, ‘I've got to get results. I've got to get sponsors. How am I going to survive?’ Well, actually, just put your head down. Adjust to the training, adjust to that kind of a new life, and the results hopefully will come and then you can get your name out and then you can start approaching for sponsorship and support.” (10:47 | Laura Siddall)
