Episode 38: From a Ten-Year Break to 9:03 at Roth: Ultraman World Champion Gordo Byrn

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

Endurance coaching legend Gordo Byrn joins us to discuss his return to racing after a 10-year break. The 2002 Ultraman World Champion and author of From Lemon to Legend breaks down his training philosophy that led to a 9:03 at Challenge Roth. We explore why consistency matters more than any specific workout protocol, how he rebuilt his aerobic base starting with workouts so easy he didn't believe they'd work, and why most athletes overcomplicate their training. Gordo shares his "10, 20, 50" protocol and explains how patient application of ridiculously easy training builds the efficiency required for world-class endurance performance. Whether you're returning to the sport after time away or struggling to maintain consistency, Gordo offers a masterclass in sustainable high-performance training from someone who's mentored a generation of endurance coaches.Gordo’s book: https://tinyurl.com/2376uex4Gordo’s Substack: https://feelthebyrn.substack.com/
