This week's podcast is up early, as we're coming to you from the inaugural Couples Championship in Tampa, Florida (happening Sunday, March 6, 2022), where 14 professional triathlete couples are facing off in a unique distance event, with a prize purse of $100,000.  The event was dreamed up by Ben Atkins, who wanted to find a way to support professional triathletes in a line of work where it's incredibly hard to make a living.  On the podcast we talk to Ben, as well as triathlon couple Justin and Jeanni Metzler, about why it's so hard to make a living and what needs to change in the industry. 

Success in endurance sports (and life) doesn't have to be difficult, and doesn't have to be limited by a lack of natural talent or even motivation.  On the podcast, we talk about five instances when Taren surpassed his limitations and the exact system he used each time to achieve success.

Even if you've never run before, a half-marathon is not out of reach!  On the podcast this week (with a matching video on YouTube), we go step-by-step through what you need to know to get prepared to run your first half-marathon!
