Ep 061 - The 5 Key Swim Sets You Need to Get Faster | Part 1

Welcome back to Ep 061 of The TrainAnything Show! 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. Dylan and John dive into a simple but powerful idea—most athletes don’t need more variety in the water, they need better execution and more consistency with the right sets. 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 measurable progress, and why many athletes spin their wheels by constantly changing workouts instead of mastering a few fundamentals. They also touch on feel for the water, pacing awareness, and how to approach swim training with intention rather than just going through the motions. The takeaway is simple: improvement in the water doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing the right things consistently, with purpose.

Ep 060 - The Unwaffle Story: The Entrepreneurial Journey of Unwaffle

Welcome back to Ep 060 of The TrainAnything Show! Join us as we explore the journey of Unwaffle, an innovative company transforming breakfast with nutritious, gluten‑free, and delicious waffles. Erik, founder of Unwaffle, and Joe, their Marketing Director, share their entrepreneurial story, product insights, and tips for training and endurance—all wrapped in a fun, engaging conversation. This week’s episode features a special in‑studio conversation diving into “Building Fuel That Tastes Good: The Unwaffle Story.” Dylan and John kick things off with a fun Unwaffle‑themed "Waffle Wheel" song before settling into a relaxed, high‑energy conversation about performance, fueling, and building something local in Bozeman, Montana. From there, the discussion explores how Unwaffle got started, why they chose waffles as a fueling option, and what those early versions actually looked like (and tasted like). They unpack the bigger question of whether fueling should feel like food or function, and what makes something actually work for endurance athletes. Along the way, they share insights on common fueling mistakes, the culture of underfueling, and why simple, repeatable fueling strategies matter most. The takeaway is simple: the best fueling strategy is the one you can consistently execute—and if it tastes good, you’re a lot more likely to actually use it. As always, it’s a fun ride with some good nuggets, squirrels, a little jingle, and plenty of waffle talk… only on The TrainAnything Show. Please like and subscribe!

Ep 058 Execution Over Fitness (Part 3): Training Calm Under Stress

Welcome back to Ep 056 of The TrainAnything Show! This week’s episode wraps up the Execution Over Fitness series with Part 3: Training Calm Under Stress. 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. They unpack how stress narrows attention, speeds up reactions, and leads athletes to chase pace, force effort, or abandon plans too early. The conversation explores the difference between emotional training and productive training, and reframes calm as a performance skill—not something you either have or don’t. They break down how athletes gradually lose composure through small decisions, and share practical ways to train staying calm inside discomfort rather than reacting to it. By the end of the episode, the connection across the series becomes clear: pacing sets the tone, fueling supports it, and calm is what keeps it all intact. The takeaway is simple: fitness is built over time, but execution is decided in moments—and calm is what lets those moments work in your favor. As always, it’s a fun ride with some good nuggets, squirrels, and a little jingle… Only on The TrainAnything Show. Please like and subscribe!

Ep 057 Execution Over Fitness (Part 2): Fueling Isn't Optional

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 core work and re‑sleep training—before diving into a key issue in endurance sports: the widespread culture of underfueling. They unpack how “eating is cheating” and “toughing it out” mindsets have turned unnecessary suffering into a badge of honor, and why that approach quietly sabotages performance. The conversation breaks down how underfueling leads to late‑session fades, inconsistent results, and poor decision‑making, and reframes fueling as a performance skill—not a crutch. They explore how training the gut is just as important as training the body, and why fueling should be practiced consistently in training, not just on race day. The takeaway is simple: fueling doesn’t make training easier—it makes it honest, and it’s what allows your fitness to actually show up when it matters.
