🎙️ Welcome back to Ep 079 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John continue The Seasons of an Athlete series with Part 2: When to Push, When to Pause. Athletes are constantly asking, "What should I be doing right now?" but the better question might be, "What season am I actually in?" The conversation explores the different seasons every athlete experiences throughout the year: building, racing, recovering, recharging, and transitioning. Dylan and John discuss why so many athletes struggle to back off when needed, how guilt and comparison can push us into the wrong decisions, and why more work isn't always the answer. They break down the signs that it's time to push, the value of patient building seasons, and why sometimes the strongest move an athlete can make is to pause and recover. Along the way, they share personal stories, lessons learned from misreading the season they were in, and practical questions athletes can ask themselves to determine what they truly need right now. The takeaway is simple: the best athletes don't push all the time. They learn to recognize the season they're in and adjust accordingly.

🎙️ Welcome back to Ep 078 of The TrainAnything Show!

This week kicks off a brand-new three-part series: The Seasons of an Athlete. In Part 1, Now What? The Art of Starting Again, Dylan and John explore one of the most overlooked challenges in endurance sports: what happens after the race is over.

After months of training, structure, and focus, many athletes find themselves feeling surprisingly lost once the finish line is behind them. The conversation dives into the post-race void, why motivation often fades after accomplishing a big goal, and how athletes can avoid turning a finish line into an exit ramp from the sport.

Dylan and John discuss four possible paths forward: racing again, building a new layer of fitness, pursuing adventure, or simply taking time to recharge. Along the way, they explore the difference between recovery and losing momentum, why every season serves a purpose, and how the best athletes learn to embrace the season they're currently in.

The takeaway is simple: not every season is for racing, and not every season is for pushing harder. The key is recognizing what you need right now and committing fully to that season.

Welcome back to Ep 077 of The TrainAnything Show! This week on Sauna Talks: DG Pro Talks, Dylan and John break down the wild travel saga surrounding what was supposed to be Ironman 70.3 New York. From missed flights and tight airport connections to finally landing in New York, things didn't exactly go according to plan. Then came the message no athlete wants to receive: the race had been cancelled due to severe weather and hurricane-related conditions. The conversation explores the emotional rollercoaster of preparing for a race that never happens, dealing with unexpected setbacks, controlling what you can control, and finding perspective when months of preparation meet circumstances completely outside your control. Dylan shares his thoughts on the travel chaos, race-week mindset, and what's next after one of the more unusual race weekends of his professional career. As always, it's a fun ride with some good nuggets, sweat, squirrels, and a little sauna wisdom... only on The TrainAnything Show. Please like and subscribe!
