Book A FREE Consult With A BPC CoachIf you didn't have goals you wouldn't be here. Book a free 30 min consult with one of our expert triathlon, cycling, or running coaches and be on your way to smashing goals in no time.
This episode is really three fold. First we briefly run through the changes and improvements to the 2019 USA Triathlon National Championship course in Cleveland, OH.
Secondly, we run through when and what to upgrade if you are looking for performance gains (faster splits, speeds, etc).
Lastly, we cover when it’s just a better idea to bite the bullet and look into getting a complete bike.
It’s a tricky topic that really revolves around what you are looking to achieve, your budget, and how hard you are jonesing for a new ride. We get it! We’re always looking for an excuse to add to the stable.

This week, we discuss the benefits of having a coach to those who don’t consider themselves competitive in their sport.
We answer a listener question: “with little hope or desire to become a pro, what are the reasons to train with a coach?”
You may not think you’re (fill in the blank) enough to work with a coach. But the truth is, if you have a desire to improve in any aspect of health, wellness, or sport performance, a good coach is worth his or her weight in gold.
If you’ve ever considered hiring a coach but talked yourself out of it for whatever reason, you won’t want to miss this episode.

We all LOVE to race. Some fast. Some long. But for the competitive minded person, racing is the reward! It’s why we continue to put in the work week after week. It’s why we get up early and train late into the day. It’s why we take a pass on some social outings and refrain from…ummmm…lots of things.
But, could there be a downside to racing too much? The answer is a resounding YES!
We know, say it ain’t so! Your whole foundation and identity as an athlete has just been shook to the core. But the fact is, there are a few pretty compelling arguments against racing too much. We see it every year as we put together yearly race calendars for our athletes. But we’ve got a few simple solutions so you can race faster when it counts, and gain a bit more balance to your active lifestyle (read stay married).

This week on the couch we talk to international pro triathlete and all around good guy Tim Linn @familyfirsttri. We’ll be talking about his journey in triathlon and how he integrates family and maintains the family first approach to his training and racing. We discuss his upbringing, life in South Korea, how his hobby became much more, and even some tricks for blending training with family time. If you are working on integrating your family into your endurance sports lifestyle, you won’t want to miss this.
