- Morning Trainiacs!
That was a--
Oh, you're dark let me fix you.
That was a mechanical
battle.
I ended up just riding two hours, 50 minutes,
over the course of about three hours
and 20 minutes of riding.
Because the chain is falling apart;
kept dropping, kept slipping.
And then for the last hour, twenty minutes,
tick, tick, tick, tick.
(explosion)
By the way, day two in Boulder,
producing the How To Strength Train master class.
Let's do it.
(upbeat techno)
(funky beat)
- Being a central governor,
and making all of these decisions.
And if we spend a lot of time in traditional exercises
and parallel stances,
in very secure environments,
like machines, that brain is actually
gonna take a little bit of a detour and it's gonna be able
to relax a little bit.
The training that we do has a big neurological component,
because we're gonna acknowledge that that central governor
is gonna make most of the decisions.
So, when you start slowing down on the bike,
or you start slowing down on the run,
it's because your brain has identified
a little bit of a danger.
Something; it's there to protect you.
So, the more we can work with the central governor,
the better.
- You said something in one of the videos
that triathletes, we have a big enough load
placed on our bodies through swim, bike, run as it is,
and we don't need to be doing that
with strength training, as well.
Can you just talk about, just sort of how that plays into
getting away from the traditional:
I'm gonna go into the gym, I'm gonna wobble out.
- Yeah.
- Because it's leg-stravaganza today.
- Right.
- And we're gonna squat until we give in.
- Pass it on to Tim.
- Yeah, I'm just gonna use an example.
I'm gonna steal it from Lawrence Van Lingen,
who's a run advisor,
and a body specialist for myself
and a lot of Julie's athletes.
I think this is a great example,
I don't know if I've mentioned to Erin,
but picture a big Arnold Schwarzenegger,
muscle, weightlifter
doing a bicep curl.
Very isolated, just one movement,
isolating one muscle.
Now, bring in some eight year old kid,
who picks up two weights,
doesn't know anything about weight lifting,
he's not being told what to do by anybody,
and tell him to curl that weight.
And he's just gonna get his whole body in there.
Just moving around his whole body to get that weight up.
And that's what we want.
When you start talking about those traditional exercises
you're isolating muscles,
you're not working with the fascial lines.
When you start getting into elasticity
and the response on running, that's where you're gonna see
a lot of energy efficient movement.
What we try to do is, Tuesday mornings,
we call 'em Terrible Tuesdays with the Julie Dibens Crew.
It's a hard run in the morning, hard swim,
and a hard bike in the afternoon.
So, after that swim, I'll do a session with Erin,
and then I'll have a short break before the bike.
And then on Friday mornings after--
- How long is that session?
- The gym session? - Yeah.
- 30 to 40 minutes usually.
We usually try to kinda keep it a little shorter.
Friday morning, I early swim here with Julie,
and then Erin and I will try to do a session
before I have another quality ride.
And then, if we can, if we're feeling up for it,
Home Gym Sundays,
is kind of our new thing that we absolutely love.
- So, just three times a week.
Is that the same for you, Miranda?
- Yeah, the same.
I think probably 90 minutes is kind of the magic number.
It's either three 30 minute sessions
or two 45 minute sessions.
We wouldn't really,
typically do much more than that in a week,
and we typically try and have--
- Wow, wasn't that just ever so fantastic?
We now have all the videos,
all the audio done,
and we just have one little
sales-ey video to do with them tomorrow.
They ran out of babysitter time because
parent problems.
Now I, as I mentioned, having chain problems
and we have a Ventum photo shoot,
video shoot to do
on Tuesday,
I think.
So, I gotta get this fixed up.
(clicking and whirring)
Oh hello, Full Cycle.
In addition to having a wicked good group ride yesterday,
instead of having to wait a day and a half
they got me in, boom, right away.
Thanks Full Cycle,
hashtag not an ad.
(clicking and whirring)
Damn, Full Cycle.
New, lubed,
dura-ace chain.
Tuned.
(grunting)
Come one.
Straightened out the rear derailleur.
You had me at espresso, Full Cycle.
'Cause they're a coffee shop too,
and it rhymes with you had me at hello.
You get it?
You got it?
It was good.
Now, can we just have
a little bit of a mutual fan girl moment here, together.
When I first started the YouTube channel,
the YouTube channel here came first.
It was the first thing that I started.
I think that it was the year that,
as an investment advisor, I made, in the year,
I wanna say it was eight thousand dollars.
Part of the reason why I started the channel
is because I had a jankey bike that was only 600 bucks
because it'd been in a fire.
I couldn't afford nutrition.
And in addition to that, everything I've ever talked about,
where I wanted to learn how to make videos,
I thought that if I really knocked it outta the park,
I would be able to get free nutrition products.
And maybe that would make triathlon training
a little more affordable for me.
Never did I think that I'd be sitting and joking
with Rinny, and TO.
Going for bike rides with Sarah True,
podcast with Patrick Langa just went up.
Spent the week, earlier this month,
with Lucy Charles, and Reese,
and learning from Cam Warf on the bike,
and launching Team Trainiac and these courses.
It's a very holy shirt kinda moment,
today.
Frankly, I owe a lot of the thanks to you.
There's a lot of people who've been involved in this,
Mel, and NTK, and family and friends.
But
none of it matters unless
all of you actually tune into this stuff.
So, I just had a moment today where I was like,
this is really cool.
And you're all gonna love this stuff.
Fun thing about the audio files that we did today.
Lots of pro triathletes do strength training,
but there's only one Rinny, and TO, and Erin team,
that have taken a pro triathlete through a pregnancy,
have them come back and get on the podium
in Cona the very next year.
And Rinny talked about that process
for an entire audio file today.
This is gonna be an awesome--
These triathlon courses?
(explosion)
Awesome.
Alright Trainiacs, Superbowl is starting apparently.
Later.
