Welcome to The TrainAnything Show!! In each episode, TA coaches John and Dylan will be coming to you with a range of training tips, shout-outs, banter, news, guests, and motivational stories to get you through your endurance endeavors. Not every hard workout is a key session — and fatigue alone doesn’t equal progress. In this episode, we break down exactly how to execute a successful key training session across swim, bike, and run so your hardest efforts actually build performance. You’ll learn what defines a true key session, why most athletes only need 2–4 per week, and how purpose and structure drive adaptation. We walk through a simple 5-part framework: define the purpose, warm up properly, execute with control, stay mentally composed, and review the session afterward. Avoid common mistakes like starting too hard, under-fueling, or stacking too many intense days. Train with purpose. Execute with precision. Recover with discipline. That’s how fitness is built. As always, it's a fun ride with some good nuggets, squirrels, and a mosh pit!? Only on the TrainAnything Show... Please like and subscribe!

Welcome to Ep 045 of the TrainAnything show! In this episode, Dylan and John explore The Paradox of Pain, breaking it down into two key phases: mental preparation before the event, and mindset strategies during the event or training session you know is going to be painful. They share practical insights on how to mentally gear up ahead of time and what to focus on in the moment to push through when things get tough. As always, it's a fun ride with some good nuggets, squirrels, and the good ole’ didgerdio and a gong. Only on the TrainAnything Show... Please like and subscribe!
