Episode 19: Professional Triathlete Ben Hoffman, or “Trying to Control More Doesn't Lead to More Control”

from The Infirmary | Fixing Broken Endurance Athletes · host Chris Bagg

Chris sits down with professional triathlete Ben Hoffman, who has won eight Ironmans, seven 70.3 races, and landed on the podium an unreal 28 times, one of which was the 2014 Ironman World Championships in Kona, where he finished 2nd.The biggest takeaway from this episode, I believe, is a concept that Ben returns to several times: you simply let your body express what it has been trained to do on race day, with a slight aim for "a higher level" because you are rested.You can follow Ben on instagram @benhoffmanracing, and watch him race at Ironman Lanzarote in just a few weeks via the www.ironman.com athlete tracker.
