Skipper opens this video with a warning that for training advice youre better off finding Triathlon Taren and becoming a trainiac than listening to his podcast lol

IĆ¢ā¬ā¢m not sure how to respond to some of the posts above. If training at LT3 or putting yourself in the K hole isnĆ¢ā¬ā¢t training advice, IĆ¢ā¬ā¢ve been taking things way to literallyĆ¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦Ć¢ā¬Ā¦
Thanks for reminding me to try it. Iām often listening to podcasts during run training. Episode #4 and the Colin story ruined my easy run; I laughed so hard I was barely able to move forward. It was nuts!
This is actually a big problem. I laugh out loudly on the treadmill, which makes people look at me weirdly whenever I listen to them. Probably the best triathlon podcast out there

I donāt listen to podcasts on the treadmill, but I do shout out the answers to Jeopardy!
Thankfully, the patrons around me ARE wearing headphones, so they donāt hear me shouting my answers out, commenting āI didnāt know thatā or āFuck, thatās right!ā on the responses I skip or miss, and āYou dumbass!!!ā on the ones I answer that the contestants miss, and āYou fucked upā when the person gets the right response on Final Jeopardy, but doesnāt bet enough

your video about that was awesome, by the way
.
their training tips are fantastic
i stopped wearing alpha flys on the piss , i could not figure out what was going wrong with my training, but thanks to them i found the answer . i did a lactate test in the bar and realised i was running to the bar at lt3 and that ruined my atl score . with normal runners i stay just bellow lt2 ,a total game changer for me.
I tried listening
Is there a way to get subtitles on podcasts? I canāt fucking understand these guys

Play it at 3/4 speed. Might help.

Their take on guys with the Glucose Monitors on the arm trying to hit on girls* was* pretty funny
As an aside, the podcast I listen to most - while making dinner, usually - is Ten Junk Miles
Wife walked in one time, early in the episode, listened a minute and asked āAre they drunk?ā
I replied āNot quite yet, but give them timeā

For those wonderingĆ¢ā¬Ā¦

Thatās a bummer, but probably a wise move for Joe. This could be a very profitable season for him on the IM tour.

How much of a distraction can it really be? Itās not like he skipped training for that hour.
Agree - Tomās reply is obviously trying to cover for Joe, or for something that may have happened, but it canāt be that Joe is too busy trainingā¦
A few Tom/Max episodes could pique Joeās interest in coming back, and I hope theyāll do exactly that.
The Patreon supporters canāt be too happy about the hiatus.

I think more than you might imagine. Iāve been involved in a podcast and itās significantly more work than the hour of content you get as the end result. Prepping content with your co-host. Faffing about with tech set-up. Generally the actual time recording is much longer than the final podcast and itās edited down. Having to re-record parts, or sometimes even the whole thing if something fails. Promoting on social media, dealing with the replies, comments, questions you get off the back of it.
I get the impression Tom does all the editing etc, but even so for Joe I can reasonably imagine it takes up 3-4 hours of his time per podcast. No, he might not be training in that time but it all adds to overall mental load and takes away from time he could be focussed on recovering. I can also imagine he looked back at a poor season last year and thought about any changes, however small, that he could make to be fully focussed on training. The baby isnāt going anywhere so this seems like a sensible move.
Nowadays, every pro needs the media presence. The top tier pros earn as much from sponsors as they do from prize money, if not more. Joe didnāt abandon the YT channel, did he? The patronite support was close to non-existing, as they mentioned in one of the last December episodes. Also, Joe & Tom were planning a triathlon camp with amateurs in January in Gran Canaria, so I wonder if that has happened.
Judging from Tomās IG and Strava, heās been there, Joe was somewhere else.

My impression from listening to the podcast is that Joeās involvement starts 5 minutes before recording and ends when the stop button is pushed.
Tom does all the heavy lifting, sets the agenda, proposes the bullshit buster and instagram post of the week, etc. Joe rarely has got anything prepared, and if he does, it seems like itās just something he stumbled upon when scouring the internets in his daily life.
Agree with this impression.
For Joe the podcast has certainly been:
minimum effortlow-to-medium benefits (fanbase is spread around IG, Strava, YT and podcast - hard to measure just the podcast, but this has definitely been āmyā channel)potentially risky (itās āmockeryā for a reason - some people like it while others donāt, risk-averse sponsors might not appreciate this controversial exposure)

If theyāre doing a āsubscription,ā they can cancel their Patreon at any time
