Episode 36:Tom Rigby and Dan McParland

In episode 37 of The Endurance Podcast, we discuss January mistakes that you'll want to avoid as you start your new year training. It's back to normal, on Tweets of the week with Mike taking the victory. 

In episode 36, we have a great chat with Tom Rigby and Dan McParland. The 2 North West athletes are close friends, training partners and both had Stellar years in 2022. Dan lead Ironman UK overall until mile 14 in the marathon and finished his year winning Ironman Florida. Tom won 70.3 Ireland at a canter and then Ironman Wales. The question of the podcast... In 2023, there's 400m to go to the Ironman UK finish line and you're shoulder to shoulder, 1st and 2nd overall... what's the conversation you have? 

In episode 35, we discuss the things that you need to hear right now... What do you need to take into account for your winter training plan? In other news. Marc celebrated his 50th birthday by winning 'Tweets of the Week' as Mike goes off the rails... All in all, it was a great show. 

In episode 34 of TEP we have a quick recap of the major events in the last few weeks (we haven't spoken for a while) and chat about the winter ahead. Mike wins Tweets of the week (again) and we secure our best ever team average. 

This week we chat about all things Lakeland 50 & 100 which takes place next week.   We share our top do's and don'ts for this type of race. As always there's the weather update and of course "tweets of the week"

We're only 2 weeks from Ironman UK and other big races, so in this week's podcast we discuss taper, race strategy and what people generally get wrong on the day. In other major news, Marc wins Tweets of the week and Mike doesn't even care... as Wales are going to the World Cup. 

Welcome to Episode 31, Mike and Ian catch up with last weekend's Outlaw Half winner Lizzie Rayner.   Lizzie won the overall race on her 70.3 debut, gaining her pro license in the process.   We discuss her training, goal setting, recovery, her future plans and her experiences working in Spain with a professional Cycling Team.
