You sound like a good swimmer already - I was thinking of the TI stuff in terms of the caller you had that asked about swimming...(miguel?). THe goswimtv.com site also has lots of good drills.

Hi Allan and Stevie,
Just listened to the last podcast and thought I would throw this out there - I am not a swimmer and have done only 2 triathlons to date, but I found the Total Immersion swim videos very helpful. The book is ok too, but seeing the demos on video I thinked really helped me understand what the objectives were in improving my stroke. They give classes too, but they are really expensive so I doubt I will go that route.
I just did my first 1/2 marathon in 5 years last week- meant to call but was too busy stuffing my face with a bagel...
Love the podcast,
Monica

Hi Allan and Stevie-
what a great race report- makes me want to do one of the disney races but seattle is quite a hike from florida. maybe the disneyland 1/2 would be more realistic - have you heard much about that race? Allan- have you been running in the newtons at all?
Looking forward to hearing about whatevers next for you two-
Monica

Great podcast! Just wondering if you guys are doing the Tussey mountainback relay this year? Or is it already over? In response to the stretching comments- I dont think there's any evidence that static stretching PRE exercise helps, and the evidence for static stretching POST exercise is iffy as well, as far as injury prevention goes. I think dynamic stretching is more in favor now, but I doubt theres much research on that as well. But I think that given the variation in bodies and response to exercise, if it works for you, do it!

Those were the movies. I'm waiting for Running the Sahara to be available on Netflix. Just tried the Agave chocolate gel- YUM! Definitely like frosting and very tasty. Didnt bother my stomach, but did require a lot of water to wash it down as it was so thick. I will use it again.
I enjoy the triathlon when over, but am always thinking, geez, wouldnt it be easier to just stick to running? Getting all the gear to the area, setting up transitions, etc, is just a pain.

Did you see Runners roundtable next episode on preparing for marathon?

I love Spirit of the marathon, as well as the one about some Boston runners- cant recall the name. I also watched the Badwater movie that you guys recommended back when Jeff was on the show...of course cant recall the name of that one either (early dementia?).
I just did a sprint triathlon after being lazy all summer. I decided after listening to all the stuff everyone else is doing that I should get off my butt! It was fun, and I am definitely going to plan and train for one next year.
Keep up the great podcast!

I bought an armpocket for my iphone which can hold keys, gu, etc. I dont even notice it on my arm when I use it.
the agave gel sounds good although I am usually not a chocolate gel kind of person.

I agree- probably no running naked ever for me. Not really a body image issue, I'm just not interested in exposing myself like that!!
I tried a bootcamp style class last year which was a lot of fun and really got me into shape. It wasnt about yelling at you and putting you down though.
Good show!
