The TrainAnything Show

Welcome back to Ep 056 of The TrainAnything Show! This week’s episode spans hemispheres, with Dylan back home in Montana and John recording from Australia alongside their good friend Scotty, diving into a fun and insightful concept: endurance training in AUS vs. the USA — same letters, different order. After opening with a Men at Work Remix and TrainAnything’s of the Week, the conversation explores expectations versus reality, unpacking what they thought training in Australia would feel like compared to what it’s actually like on the ground. From first impressions to widely held stereotypes, they touch on differences in structure, attitude, environment, and approach — from data‑driven U.S. athletes to the more laid‑back, “get on with it” Aussie mindset. Along the way, they explore where those reputations come from, what holds up, what doesn’t, and how environment shapes more than we realize. The episode stays light, curious, and observational, with a simple thread throughout: same sport, same letters — just a different order once you experience it.

Welcome back to Ep 054 of The TrainAnything Show! This week’s episode kicks off a brand‑new three‑part series, Execution Over Fitness, with Part 1 focused on pacing — the skill nobody practices. Dylan and John open with TrainAnything’s of the Week, touching on pacing in the pool and simple execution cues, before diving into why most races aren’t lost late when things hurt — they’re lost early, when everything feels easy. The conversation unpacks how adrenaline, ego, and early decision‑making sabotage even great fitness, why pacing is the gatekeeper between potential and performance, and how execution determines whether your fitness actually shows up on race day. They break down the difference between training pacing and race pacing, discuss feel versus numbers under stress, and share practical ways athletes can learn restraint and practice pacing intentionally. The takeaway is simple: fitness sets the ceiling, but pacing determines whether you ever reach it — because fitness is potential, and execution is what converts it… and that’s how you TrainAnything.

Welcome back to Ep 053 of The TrainAnything Show! TA Nation Application - https://www.trainanything.com/ta-nati... 2026 Camp sign-ups - https://www.trainanything.com/tacamp-... This week’s episode, kicks off with Dylan and John’s TrainAnything’s of the Week—Dylan leaning into patience and John reminding us to “ride the wave”—before diving into the core idea: endurance isn’t built on perfect plans or motivation, but on one simple, repeatable daily action. Over the first 30 days, committing to a clear, binary habit—something you can do even on your worst day—removes decision fatigue, builds rhythm, and most importantly, creates proof that you can show up. As they explain, great belief doesn’t come before action; it’s earned through repetition. The episode breaks down what makes an effective daily challenge, from keeping it simple and repeatable to ensuring it actually makes tomorrow easier, and offers a wide range of examples—from breath work and reading to strength, fueling, and awareness habits—that reinforce consistency without burnout. They emphasize that enthusiasm should be used to protect consistency, not destroy it, and while the challenge is personal, sharing it with others can normalize and strengthen the process. By day 30, success isn’t measured in PRs but in how natural training feels and how confident you’ve become in your ability to keep going. The episode closes with a clear call to action: choose one small daily commitment, start tomorrow, and let consistent action build belief, momentum, and ultimately expand what’s possible—because that’s how you TrainAnything.

In this episode of The TrainAnything Show, John and Dylan lean into the post–April Fool’s reality check with a conversation on “How to Not Make a Fool of Yourself in Endurance Training.” From turning easy days into ego-driven performances to constantly chasing the latest training fad, they break down the most common (and relatable) mistakes athletes make—and why repeating them with confidence is where things really go wrong. The duo explores the difference between confidence and recklessness, why suffering shouldn’t be the goal, and how a lack of belief in your plan can quietly derail progress. Along the way, they keep it light but honest, reminding listeners that strong training isn’t flashy—it’s consistent, patient, and often a little boring. The takeaway: believe in simple things, act on them consistently, and stop calling the same mistakes your “training style.” Plus, a classic TrainAnything twist with their weekly check-in and an all-time absurd Bucket Pull to close it out.

Welcome back to The TrainAnything Show with John and Dylan, where this week’s focus is helping beginners realize that triathlon is more within reach than they think. After sharing their “TrainAnything of the Week”—Dylan leaning into positivity and John embracing hunger—they dive into the fundamentals of triathlon training, breaking down the sport into its three parts: swim, bike, and run. The episode walks listeners through choosing a beginner-friendly race, building a simple and sustainable training routine, and gaining confidence in each discipline without overcomplicating the process. They highlight key concepts like consistency over intensity, the importance of brick workouts, and why you don’t need fancy gear to get started. The guys also cover common beginner mistakes, race day expectations, and mindset shifts that turn fear into action. The big takeaway: your first triathlon isn’t about performance—it’s about proving to yourself that you can do hard things.

From absolute meltdowns to slow-motion crashes, the guys share their most painful (and now hilarious) stories of hitting the wall. What went wrong? Bad fueling? Ego? Just vibes? Probably all three.

Welcome to The TrainAnything Show Episode 049 with John and Dylan, where we inspire belief and action through endurance and mindset! In this Friday the 13th–inspired episode, we explore the world of endurance superstitions—why athletes rely on rituals like lucky gear, consistent pre-race routines, and oddly specific training habits. Dylan shares his focus on organization, mindset, and discipline, while John leans into the power of actually listening to audiobooks. We dig into how these routines can calm nerves, build confidence, and even work through the placebo effect, while also discussing when they can become limiting if taken too far. The episode wraps with a reminder to let routines support you—not control you—and a bucket pull question: what’s the simplest workout that produces massive results?

Welcome to The TrainAnything Show!! In each episode, TA coaches John and Dylan will be coming to you with a range of training tips, shout-outs, banter, news, guests, and motivational stories to get you through your endurance endeavors. In this episode, we tackle a topic many endurance athletes secretly relate to: strength training for people who truly, deeply despise gyms. We kick things off with an important philosophical debate — would you rather do 3×20 squats or run 10 miles in the rain? — before diving into our own gym misadventures, from getting lost between cable machines to the eternal mystery of the adductor machine. Along the way we unpack why gyms can feel intimidating (or just annoying), why there’s always someone curling in the squat rack, and why so many runners and cyclists know they should strength train… but avoid it anyway. We also talk about why strength actually matters for endurance athletes — keeping you healthy mid-season, helping you climb hills without emotional damage, and reminding cyclists that yes, this applies to you too. The good news: you don’t need a gym membership or complicated equipment. We share simple bodyweight exercises, cheap tools like resistance bands, and “snack-sized” micro-workouts you can fit in before or after a run. The key theme is small, consistent doses — a few minutes of squats, lunges, glute bridges, and core work throughout the week can go a long way. The takeaway: strength training might feel like flossing — boring but necessary — and if your glutes are on fire afterward… well, that’s probably a good sign.

Avoid common mistakes like starting too hard, under-fueling, or stacking too many intense days. Train with purpose. Execute with precision. Recover with discipline. That’s how fitness is built.

In each episode, TA coaches John and Dylan will be coming to you with a range of training tips, shout-outs, banter, news, guests, and motivational stories to get you through your endurance endeavors. In this episode of The TrainAnything Show, John and Dylan break down one of the most frustrating parts of training: plateaus. If you’re putting in the work and nothing seems to be changing, it’s not failure — it’s adaptation. A plateau means your body has figured out the stimulus, and the answer isn’t more effort but more awareness. We talk about why plateaus happen, from recovery debt and stress to mismatches in nutrition or programming, and how to break through them without burning out. Plateaus test your mindset more than your ability, and progress isn’t linear — it’s cumulative. Anything can be trained.

In Episode 017, Dylan and John share results from comprehensive full-body composition assessments using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans, widely regarded as one of the most accurate methods for analyzing body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and bone density. Alongside the DEXA results, they compare readings from their at-home Hume Body Pod scales, which use bioelectrical impedance to estimate body composition. The episode dives into the similarities and discrepancies between the two measurement methods, offering insight into the accuracy and reliability of consumer-grade body composition tools. Dylan and John also reflect on their current baselines and discuss strategies for training, nutrition, and recovery in light of the new data, setting clear goals for the weeks ahead.
