Zen and the Art of Endurance

Author: Zen and the Art of Triathlon Language: English Episodes: 100
There's a certain rhythm to the life of a triathlete, a cadence found in the swim, the bike, and the run, but also in the spaces between. Zen and the Art of Endurance explores that full spectrum, moving beyond simple training plans to examine how the pursuit of endurance reshapes everything. Hosted by Zen and the Art of Triathlon, this podcast delves into the practical realities of the multisport life-the logistics of traveling to races, the patience required through injury, and the balancing act with family and work. You'll hear honest conversations about methods that work, the mental games we play during a long race, and how the lessons from training seep into daily living. It’s not just about going faster; it’s about moving through the sport with intention. Each episode offers a perspective grounded in experience, whether discussing gear, nutrition, or the quiet satisfaction of a well-executed plan. For anyone curious about the deeper currents beneath the surface of competition, this podcast provides a thoughtful, steady companion on the journey.
