Strength training is about more than lifting weights. When programmed correctly, it can help triathletes resist fatigue, recover more effectively, maintain bone density, and stay strong throughout a demanding training season. We'll discuss how to structure your strength work throughout the year and how to make it fit alongside your swim, bike, and run training. In this episode, we cover: 💪 Why Strength Training Matters: How resistance training supports fatigue resistance, injury prevention, recovery, bone density, running efficiency, and long-term health. 📅 Strength Training Periodization: How to adjust your approach during the off-season, pre-season, and in-season to maximize strength gains while maintaining race readiness. 🏋️ The Three Pillars: Building a practical weekly routine around Monday mobility, mid-week strength training, and end-of-week plyometrics. 🎯 Sets, Reps & Exercise Selection: Why lower rep ranges of 3–8 reps can help develop strength, and how to prioritize compound lifts without chasing unnecessary muscle growth. 🏁 Strength Training During Race Season: How to adjust loads and volume as races approach, manage fatigue, and maintain strength during race weeks. 🏠 Adapting Your Program: Exercise modifications and alternatives for athletes training with limited equipment or a home gym. Whether you're training for your first triathlon or chasing your next Ironman PR, this episode will help you build a strength program that supports your endurance goals. Get stronger. Build durability. Stay healthy. Race faster. 💪🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ #TriathlonTraining #StrengthTraining #IronmanTraining #EnduranceAthlete #InjuryPrevention #Plyometrics #NVDMCoaching #TriathlonPodcast

As endurance athletes, it's easy to focus almost entirely on performance metrics. But understanding your baseline health markers can provide valuable context for how you're feeling, recovering, fueling, and performing — especially during periods of high training volume. In this episode, we cover: 🩸 Energy & Fatigue: Why iron stores can decline before hemoglobin does and what athletes should consider when they're feeling unusually run down. 🍽️ Fueling & Hormones: How underfueling can impact thyroid and hormonal health, and why lab results need to be considered alongside training load, symptoms, and cycle history. ❤️ The Long Game: Why cholesterol and metabolic health still matter even when you're training consistently and performing well. 🧪 Testing Done Right: How to collect at-home samples and properly time testing so you can get results that are more useful and comparable over time. Your training data tells you how you're performing. Your health data can help tell you why. Whether you're a high-volume endurance athlete, training for your next Ironman, or simply trying to stay healthy for the long term, this episode is all about looking at the bigger picture. #TriathlonPodcast #TriathlonTraining #AthleteHealth #EnduranceTraining #IronmanTraining #SportsNutrition #NVDMCoaching #HealthMetrics #Triathlon

When the body starts hurting and your brain is telling you to slow down or stop, having the right mental tools can make all the difference. This episode explores how athletes can intentionally develop the ability to stay focused, manage discomfort, and keep moving forward when training and racing get tough. We’ll cover: ✅ Why mental toughness is a trainable skill, not something you're simply born with ✅ How to practice mental resilience during everyday training ✅ Focused breathing techniques for managing discomfort ✅ Using mantras and positive self-talk to stay locked in ✅ Narrowing your focus when the effort starts to hurt ✅ How positive interaction with teammates and competitors can help ✅ Why practicing these strategies in hard workouts is essential for race-day execution The goal isn't to eliminate discomfort—it's to learn how to respond to it effectively. Because when race day gets hard, you don't want to start learning mental toughness. You want to have already trained it. 💪🧠 #TriathlonPodcast #MentalToughness #MentalPerformance #EnduranceTraining #TriathlonMindset #NVDMCoaching

These are the biggest weeks of your training cycle—the time when your fitness reaches its highest level before you begin to taper for your goal race.

In this episode, we cover: ✅ How to approach your highest-volume and highest-intensity training weeks  ✅ Prioritizing recovery without sacrificing fitness  ✅ Fueling strategies to support peak training loads  ✅ Recognizing the difference between productive fatigue and overreaching  ✅ Common mistakes athletes make during peak training—and how to avoid them  ✅ Building confidence as you prepare for your goal race Whether you're gearing up for a Sprint, Olympic, 70.3, or Ironman, this episode will help you get the most out of your biggest training weeks and arrive at race day healthy, fit, and ready to perform.
