We catch up on the racing from the Isuzu IRONMAN South Africa at the weekend.
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.
Tim and Gordo Byrn delve into the intricacies of endurance performance, focusing on the concept of post-training syndrome, recovery strategies and the importance of understanding training zones. Gordo emphasizes the need for athletes to manage setbacks effectively, the role of coaching in maintaining a healthy mindset and the significance of lactate testing in optimizing training. The discussion highlights the balance between pushing limits and ensuring recovery, ultimately aiming for sustainable performance improvements.
