  • Ep 047 - The Big 3 Non Negotiables for Recovery
    Mar 4 2026

    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!

  • The TrainAnything Show Ep 042 - Overcoming Training Plateaus
    Jan 27 2026

    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.

    In this episode of The TrainAnything Show, John and Dylan break down one of the most frustrating parts of training: plateaus. If you’re putting in the work and nothing seems to be changing, it’s not failure — it’s adaptation. A plateau means your body has figured out the stimulus, and the answer isn’t more effort but more awareness. We talk about why plateaus happen, from recovery debt and stress to mismatches in nutrition or programming, and how to break through them without burning out.

    Plateaus test your mindset more than your ability, and progress isn’t linear — it’s cumulative. Anything can be trained.

    As always, it's a fun ride with some good nuggets, squirrels, and the ole' Harp! Only on the TrainAnything Show... Please like and subscribe! Feel free to drop future bucket pulls or show topics in the comments or email us at info@trainanything.com
