#612 - Gordo Byrn Part 2. Race reviews from IM703 Oceanside and T100 Singapore.

We catch up on the racing from IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside and the T100 Singapore

Tim chats to Gordo Byrn, a former private equity investment banker, Gordo metamorphosed into an elite ultra-endurance athlete, a student of human performance and an endurance coach. He's also the co-author of the endurance bible Going Long—an incredible resource for any and all athletes seeking to better understand and apply the principles of endurance.

In Part 2 of our chat with Gordo we share insights on optimizing training for endurance athletes, emphasizing the importance of consistency, tailored workouts for specific race types and the value of low-key races as training opportunities. Gordo discusses innovative training techniques that keep workouts engaging and effective, particularly for busy athletes looking to maximize their performance without overtraining. Plus we discuss the significance of strategic planning in training blocks and the benefits of maintaining a fun and flexible approach to endurance training.
