Ep 062 - Commit Before You’re Ready (Stop Waiting to Start) | Part 1

Ep 063 - Boring Is the Work (Why Consistency Beats Motivation) | Part 2

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 feels new, results aren’t immediate, and the work starts to feel routine—and why this is exactly where most people fall off. They emphasize that the goal isn’t to stay motivated, but to stay in motion, and that true progress comes from showing up on the days that feel flat, not just the ones that feel inspired. Along the way, they share practical ways to stay consistent, protect routine, and measure success through execution rather than outcomes. The takeaway is simple: if it feels boring, you’re probably doing it right—the real work isn’t flashy, it’s repeatable.

Ep 062 - Commit Before You’re Ready (Stop Waiting to Start) | Part 1

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 perfect plan, and fear of doing it wrong—and reframes the idea that readiness comes before starting. They emphasize that no one feels ready at the beginning, the first reps are always messy, and real clarity only comes after you begin. Along the way, they share personal experiences, including commitment moments like signing up for big races, and highlight how simple, binary actions can eliminate decision fatigue and create momentum. The takeaway is simple: commitment comes before confidence, and action is what builds belief—so don’t wait for it to feel right, start so it becomes right.

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.
