Welcome back to Ep 072 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John continue their four-part Sauna Talk series with Part 3: The 5 Key Running Workouts You Need To Get Faster. After covering swimming and cycling in the first two episodes, they head into the sauna to break down the run workouts that consistently help athletes improve speed, efficiency, durability, and race-day performance. The conversation dives into five essential run sessions: strides, hill sprints, cadence runs, threshold 400s, and fartleks. Dylan and John discuss why each workout matters, what adaptations it creates,
Welcome back to Ep 071 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John wrap up the Belief Is Everything series with Part 3: Earned Belief. If borrowed belief helps us get started and tested belief keeps us moving through setbacks, earned belief is what happens when years of action, consistency, and perseverance become undeniable evidence. The conversation explores a powerful question: At what point does belief stop being hope and start becoming certainty? Dylan and John unpack where true confidence comes from, why it's built through keeping promises to yourself, and how small wins compoun
Welcome back to Ep 070 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John continue the Belief Is Everything series with Part 2: Tested Belief. If borrowed belief is what gets us started, tested belief is what determines whether we keep going. The conversation dives into what happens when setbacks challenge what we believe about ourselves, our fitness, and our potential. From getting dropped in training and race-day disappointments to injuries, missed goals, and moments of self-doubt, Dylan and John explore how athletes often create limiting stories from temporary setbacks. They discuss the c
Welcome back to The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John fire up another Sauna Talk episode to explore a simple question: Why can six days at camp sometimes create more growth than six months at home? The answer isn't more miles, bigger workouts, or heroic training sessions. Instead, they break down the five growth accelerators that make training camps such powerful experiences: environment, accountability, feedback, confidence, and community. The conversation explores how stepping into the right environment can make good decisions easier, why being surrounded by driven athletes raise
Welcome back to Ep 068 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, we bring you another DG Pro Talks episode as Dylan takes us behind the scenes of his recent race at Ironman 70.3 Boise. From the highs and lows of the past year to the lessons learned along the way, this episode is a candid look at what it takes to navigate the realities of chasing big goals in endurance sport. Dylan walks through the journey from the end of last season into 2026, including the injury that derailed his momentum in February and the long road back that followed. The conversation dives into the physical and mental chall
Welcome back to Ep 067 of The TrainAnything Show! This week, Dylan and John tackle a topic every athlete experiences but few enjoy talking about: doubt. They explore why doubt isn't a sign that something is wrong, but often a sign that you're pursuing something meaningful. From bad workouts and race setbacks to injuries, comparisons, and big goals, they unpack where doubt comes from and why even the most successful athletes experience it. The conversation dives into the stories we tell ourselves when things don't go as planned, how doubt can distort reality, and what to do when uncertainty sta
Welcome back to Ep 066 of The TrainAnything Show! This week kicks off a brand-new three-part series built around one of the core beliefs behind TrainAnything: Belief Is Everything. In Part 1, Borrowed Belief, Dylan and John explore a simple but powerful idea—before we believe in ourselves, someone else often believes in us first. They reflect on the coaches, friends, family members, training partners, and mentors who helped make difficult goals feel possible, from first races and marathons to triathlons and Ironman finish lines. The conversation dives into the power of seeing what's possible t
Welcome back to The TrainAnything Show! This week wraps up our three-part Commit to the Process series with Part 3: Trust the Process (Before the Results Show Up). Dylan and John dive into one of the hardest parts of endurance training: staying committed when you're doing all the right things but the results haven't shown up yet. They explore why endurance sport is a delayed-reward game, how today's instant-feedback culture works against long-term progress, and why some of the biggest breakthroughs happen long before they're visible. Along the way, they share personal stories of race builds, u
Welcome back to The TrainAnything Show! This week continues the Commit to the Process series with Episode 2: Boring Is the Work. Dylan and John dive into one of the most overlooked truths in endurance training and life—progress doesn’t come from exciting moments, it comes from consistent, repeatable action over time. They unpack why so many athletes and individuals struggle to stay committed once the initial motivation fades, and how chasing novelty, intensity, or constant change can actually stall progress. The conversation explores the “middle phase” of the process—the part where nothing fee
Welcome back to The TrainAnything Show! This week kicks off a brand‑new three‑part series, Commit to the Process, with Episode 1: Commit Before You’re Ready. Dylan and John dive into a simple but powerful idea—most people don’t struggle with knowing what to do, they struggle to commit to doing it. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, the right plan, or enough motivation, they unpack why progress actually begins when you take action before you feel ready. The conversation breaks down the common traps that hold people back—overthinking, listening to too many outside opinions, chasing the p

This week kicks off a brand‑new four‑part Sauna Talk series, recorded live in the sauna, with Part 1: The 5 Swim Sets You Need to Improve Your Swimming.

From inside the sauna, they break down the five key swim sets that can help athletes build efficiency, speed, and confidence in the water. The conversation centers around why structure matters, how repeatable sets create mea

Dylan and John open with TrainAnything’s of the Week—focusing on being consistently good and the power of compartmentalizing—before diving into a key idea: most athletes don’t fall apart because they lack fitness, they fall apart because stress changes how they make decisions.

Welcome back to Ep 057 of The TrainAnything Show! This week’s episode continues the Execution Over Fitness series with Part 2: Fueling Isn’t Optional (And Never Was).

Dylan and John open with TrainAnything’s of the Week, touching on pacing in the pool and simple execution cues, before diving into why most races aren’t lost late when things hurt — they’re lost early, when everything feels easy.

Welcome to The TrainAnything Show Episode 049 with John and Dylan, where we inspire belief and action through endurance and mindset! In this Friday the 13th–inspired episode, we explore the world of endurance superstitions—why athletes rely on rituals like lucky gear, consistent pre-race routines, and oddly specific training habits. Dylan shares his focus on organization, mindset, and discipline, while John leans into the power of actually listening to audiobooks. We dig into how these routines can calm nerves, build confidence, and even work through the placebo effect, while also discussing w

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. On this episode, we broke down the real “Big 3” of progress: sleep, nutrition, and body work—and spoiler alert, none of them are sexy, but all of them work. Sleep is the foundation. You don’t grow in the gym; you grow when your head hits the pillow. That’s when muscle repair happens, growth hormone peaks, and your brain finally stops buffering. Skimp on sleep an
