Welcome to Episode #184 of the Mile High Endurance podcast. You are listening to your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance goals. We are your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.
This week we have Darryl Griffiths of Shotz Nutrition to talk about sweat testing, hydration and fueling. I'm really excited about this topic. This has been one of the areas that has challenged me personally throughout my history with longer distance races. I feel like after working with Inigo San Milan and Bob Seebohar, combined with field testing, I was finally able to get the information I needed to not guess.
Thanks to last week's discussion guest TO and the breakdown of Ironman Boulder. We are looking forward to seeing him in Kona.

Welcome to Episode #183 of the Mile High Endurance podcast. You are listening to your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance goals. We are your hosts coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.
This week we have a really interesting discussion for you. Think about the people that have left a legacy in triathlon. Who is the first person who comes to mind? This week we are sharing a panel discussion with 5 athletes who are creating legacies as they continue to race. We have Kyle and Brent Pease (the Pease brothers), Chris McDonald, Craig Alexander (Crowie), and Andrea Ramos. The event was hosted by Newton Running and owner Jerry Lee. It was facilitated by Andrew Maxwell and the central discussion was about what legacy they want to leave in the sport. It's personal for each and we hope you will feel a connection to one or more of these stories.
Thanks to last week's guest TO and the breakdown of Ironman Boulder. We are looking forward to seeing him in Kona.

Interview Introduction:
A little over a month ago, I went t the Rocky Mountain Tri Club Author Night. Christie Aschwanden and Alex Hutchinson did a presentation and then did book signings. As I listened to Christie describe her book and her thoughts on the efficacy of products and services intended to aid with recovery, I was really intrigued. I bought the book, started reading and knew this would be a great topic. Listen, we all want the have the latest advantage and the fear of being left out. If everyone else is using Endurox, I should be using Endurox.
The recovery market includes goods and services ranging from drinks, bars, and protein shakes to compression clothing, foam rollers, icepacks, cryotherapy, mass, laser therapy, electrical muscle stimulators, saunas, float tanks, meditation videos, sleep trackers, high tech pajamas, and of course beds. Do these things work? I'm I wasting my money? My time?
