- 998, 999, 1000.
What's up, Trainiacs?
I don't know if you saw,
but just finished doing 1000 pushups.
(upbeat music)
So, Trainiacs, it has been a homebody few days,
because we got an air conditioner going in right now.
It's a good thing, 'cause that inadvertent heat training,
as it's 32 degrees out there also makes it
about 29 degrees in there, it's not pleasant.
And you might have noticed on Instagram,
more new projects going on.
A lot of people guessed that
this might be an endless pool, (buzzer)
this might be more space for Triathlon Taren
live streaming stuff. (buzzer)
Not correct, no, no, this is literally, it's just a deck.
That's all it is, it's a deck, because here, I'll show ya.
When we built Triathlon Taren HQ,
we destroyed all of our old fence which comes around
and it comes around and it came around there.
I figure, if we're gonna go through all of the effort
of building Triathlon Taren HQ, redoing the fence
all the way around here, and it's not like
we're swimming in money, but while we're refinancing
the house and everything to build this
and pay for the fence and all that,
may as well add a little bit of outdoor living space.
One of my favorite things in the world
is to sit out on a deck, kinda dusk-ish, late at night,
and here, show you the plans for what I like.
So, what I'm into, this nice, big deck
and what we're gonna have is like, those vintage-y
Christmas lights going across here,
and then where I'm sitting is gonna be a big couch,
a loveseat, and then there, we're gonna have
one of those propane little fire things,
and we'll have some beautiful outdoor living space.
Okay, but that isn't what this video is about.
This video is about updating you
on the Triathlon Master Class.
So the way I worded that isn't quite right.
It's not necessarily the Triathlon Master Class,
it is Master Classes.
If you don't know what these are,
basically go to MasterClass.com and instantly,
you will be bombarded on Facebook
by things like Gordon Ramsey teaches cooking,
Ron Howard teaches directing,
Steph Curry teaches basketball,
and the premise behind Master Class
is that you take somebody who is
absolutely world class in some sort of discipline
and they teach you how to do said discipline.
And we got the Team Trainiac Platform rolling.
The development is still under way for that,
but what was coming out was I was realizing,
hey, I'm gonna be writing workouts that are like,
swim, blah, blah, blah, bike, blah, blah, blah,
run, blah, blah, blah, but people are obviously
going to be saying, "Well, how do I swim better?
How do I bike better?
I know that all of these workouts
are going to make me better,
but what do I work on with technique?
What are the aspects of training
that I should and shouldn't be focusing on?
What do I get, what do I not get?
What are some key workouts?"
And I was like, "Well, you know what,
I can create these classes, but why stop there?"
And we're starting to meet really cool exceptional people
in the industry who are insanely talented and knowledgeable
about certain aspects of triathlon,
so I started thinking, "You know what,
here we're really good at getting stuff
and information out to Trainiacs.
You guys are really good at being good in triathlon.
Why don't we marry the two?"
So the things that are popping into my head are like,
and these aren't for sures, but this is
what's kind of going on is things like
Gwen Jorgensen teaches running,
Lionel Sanders teaches biking,
maybe Lauren Brandon or Lucy Charles teach swimming,
things like that so that we're bridging,
literally some of the best knowledge
and performances in the world between you and them,
which historically, in triathlon, there's been this bridge.
You get to see pros, you get to see super high end
pro triathlon coaches out there,
but it's fairly inaccessible to the average person,
so we're talking about things like that.
And I think we've got the first one lined up.
This is all kind of in development,
but what we've got lined up
that we're talking to Aaron Carson about,
who is the owner of EC Fit Boulder,
who coaches Tim O'Donnel, Marinda Carfrey,
she coached Angela Nashe, she coached Paula Finley,
she currently coaches Justin Metzler and Jeanie Seymour.
She coaches a huge amount of pro triathletes in Boulder
in specifically strength and being functional,
and why I really liked Erin is when I started consuming
more of her stuff and podcasts she was appearing on,
people could question her and say,
"Alright, somebody has 15 minutes twice a week,
that's all you get as a strength coach."
And she was like, (snaps)
"Boom, here's how you do it."
Not like, "Well, really you need to be
spending like four hours a week."
No, she says we actually don't want to overload with time,
because triathletes are busy as they are.
Let's not make that worse.
Now, as far as cost, as far as timelines,
as far as availability, as far as like, a URL,
all of that we haven't yet figured out.
Really, what I wanna do right now
is before we go down a path that is too far gone
where we're like, "Holy crap, both Erin and I
have spent so much time on this
and Trainiacs don't even give a shirt about it."
We're doing a little bit of engagement with you
and I want your feedback, so if you like the idea,
but you don't have anything to say, like the video.
If you like the idea and you have questions,
you have input, you have things that you want to ask,
you have wonderings about strength training,
ask it in the comments below.
And I actually think that this is
one of the better ideas that I've had,
and I have a lot of good ideas,
like getting a shirt sponsor so that all of you
don't have to see my nipples throughout entire videos,
like see, it worked out.
It's 28 degrees in here and I'm wearing
a shirt for you guys.
So there you go, Trainiacs, very update-y update video.
Take part, like, comment, let me know what you think.
That is all, later.
