As luck would have it, I had the opportunity to interview my coach, Jon Noland. (Yes, coaches have coaches. Confucius says “Those who coach themselves, have a fool for a coach.”)
This episode gives a different view of training and racing as Jon has been an elite athlete for a long time. He talks about the differences between how he trained and raced pre & post entering into the Masters and 40-44 Age Group. He also enlightens on some methodical ideas on training and racing as well.
Our conversation covers –
I hope you are all as honored as I was to hear about his journey to the elite corrals and what it took to get him there and his ways to stay there. I learned a lot more about my coach during this interview and I know it will bring some value to your journey as well.

Title: The Ironman Ohio 70.3 Experience
Final Show Link: https://innerfireendurance.com/ifes005
Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the Ironman Ohio 70.3 triathlon. My idea was to give you audio as it was happening, but when listening to the audio I was not happy with it.
Instead I talked through the race from checking into Ironman Village to crossing the finish line. My objectives were to give a product review of the race for the experienced triathletes and give some sense of what it is like to take part in a 70.3 for anyone that is thinking about signing up for one.

I hope that this gives a nice overview of what it is like to experience the race. Please use the comment section below to ask any questions or provide feedback.

I had the honor and privilege to interview the Masters Track 1-mile Age Group American Record Holder, Susan “Lynn” Cooke*. (*In the racing world she goes by her legal first name, Susan, but to the rest of us she will always be Lynn.)
She is extremely inspiring especially for anyone who thought it was too late to start running or any endurance journey.
(Note: I recorded this with a high end digital recorder. Unfortunately, it was so good it captured every reverberation from the office we used for the interview. I tried to correct it in post-production, but it is still not perfect. My apologies.)
