Our interview this week is with 3x Ironman World Champ Craig "Crowie" Alexander. We are talking about the SANSEGO Clinic in Boulder June 15-17. If you are a triathlete who lives in the greater Denver area, you couldn't ask for a better coaching clinic opportunity. You don't have to take off a bunch of time from work. You don't have to travel. When you hear what's included, you are going to realize what a value it is. Plus, we are going to do a drawing this week for one person who will get a free registration to the clinic. Hint - there's a clue in the interview!
Thanks to last week's guests, coach and nutrition expert Bob Seebohar. Not only did Bob share some great information to build on our knowledge of how to fuel yourself for endurance athletic success, we formally kicked off the "get metabolically efficient" project this week. We have more on that in a little bit!
As mentioned in the intro, Crowie is a 3x Ironman World Champion. He also has 2 70.3 world championship titles.
As a father, husband, businessman and athlete, Crowie has felt the same pressures you do in balancing family, a career and your passion for the sport of triathlon. The Sansego Advance program provides an opportunity to train with Crowie and get expert guidance from the Sansego team of coaches in a three-day program.
Instead of taking a week off work and away from family to go to a training camp, you can join us during the day, sleep in your own bed and spend time with your family, all without having to take time off work. For this program, you’ll have the chance to train with Crowie in his second home of Boulder, Colorado, the mecca of
triathlon. You’ll experience some classic training routes of the top Ironman pros and see a day in the life of a pro living in Boulder.

Motor skills rely on the brain to send signals to the correct muscles and parts of muscles in the right order. Through plasticity, your brain is able to ensure that your neurons are working together for a precise result
Endurance relies on the motor cortex to repeat an action for an extended period of time. Each time you take a step, swim a stroke, or pedal a bike, your brain and your muscles consume energy. Via plasticity, your training leads to more efficient movements, reducing the energy cost of each action and allowing you to endure for a longer period of time.
Strength relies on the motor cortex to ensure that your muscle fibers are contracting together and not competing with each other. Powerful output requires the coordination of the many thousands of neurons that activate a group of primary and synergist muscles. With plasticity, the brain learns to contract more useful muscle fibers and relax opposing fibers, allowing you to lift more.
