All episodes will still be available in the archives and on podcast platforms. Website has all shows from all time; podcast apps have a limited amount of more recent episodes. John shares his takeaways from being part of EP for so long, as a listener, manager, and co-owner. Also some reflections: Thoughts on functional medicine, for example. It has its place. But sometimes it doesn’t. Tawnee shares how she has worked alongside many athletes over the years facilitating their testing, results analysis, health protocols. This can lead to great results, empowerment, more knowledge of self. But as mentioned in OMM 21 it can go to far for some of us where we need to take a step back and focus our efforts and our healing elsewhere, i.e. tapping more into our intuition, knowing of self, and finding more self-love and acceptance. Tawnee says, “I will help coach an athlete into the best decision based on their current season of life and sometimes that means doing the full load of testing and deep dives, and sometimes that means stepping away from more testing, protocols and supplements!” You can follow something and still be critical of it. Finally, a reminder to always allow yourself to feel, process, grieve and more… THANK YOU, EVERYONE!The post OMM 22: Goodbye and Thank You first appeared on Endurance Planet.
The seventh and final installment with host Tawnee Gibson sharing her life story as a college student who developed an eating disorder and amenorrhea, turned hardcore endurance athlete, coach, holistic health expert, and eventually slowing down her participation in sport as she entered her motherhood era. It’s an inspiring message that self-healing, thriving and achieving dreams are always possible. For Part 1 click here. For part 2 click here. For part 3 click here. For part 4 click here. For part 5 click here. For part 6 click here. In this episode, Tawnee ties it all together with a pivotal moment in 2016 in which she rather suddenly fell ill with an autoimmune disease, which prompted her to take an even deeper dive into her healing, discovering even more roots of wellness and being free of dis-ease in the body. Her work put this condition into remission, for good. After wrapping up some races such at the Boston Marathon, and then getting married, so began a journey into fertility and pregnancy. After a brief struggle, she became pregnant in mid-2017 and had a wonderful, happy, healthy pregnancy, but it would end tragically two days before their baby’s due date…. We end with her closing thoughts on this series and a message to everyone out there.The post OMM 21: The Autobiography Series, Part 7 (Finale) first appeared on Endurance Planet.

As we announced recently, we are pausing the Endurance Planet podcast and this is the final episode of Ask the Coaches after more than 13+ years of Tawnee and Lucho at the mic together (this episode’s photo is them together for Ragnar in 2015). Join us for a moving, and inspiring conversation with some thoughts and tips we’ve put together that combines over a decade of research, podcasting, talking and working with athletes; these are the things that have a lot of power to help you and that you’ll want to consider incorporating into your training and life, including: Use the MAF Method as a baseline in any plan Clearing up a critical mistake/incorrect statement we made on ATC 294, our MAF Method Guide episode (one of the most popular downloads of all time). The correct statement is that MAF HR using metabolic cart testing is determined with FATMAX not the crossover point. Why and how MAF works as part of any training plan. But also, maybe MAF is really about the intuitive nature and not so much lab testing and data collection. Always strength train It can’t really hurt but it certainly can help; just don’t go crazy with it if lacking experience because then you might get hurt lol, seek professional guidance at first or as needed Your health has a direct correlation with performance You can do your thing with sub-par health and/or chronic health issues, but eventually it catches up and hinders performance and zest for life in some way so it behooves all of us to take charge of our wellbeing! And if you are really suffering, heal first then go get back to training and go for it—it’s very hard to do both at the same time, it’s ok to take a step back! Intuitive training has a role in any training plan Do any training plan you desire, but always allow yourself those intuitive workouts or sessions where you can learn your body, listen to your body and honor your body’s needs without the data feedback. “You can make incorrect training correct (if you use it correctly)”–Lucho Make it work for you and keeping you fulfilled. You don’t always have to fit in a box with training; e.g. if you want to make speed work apply to ultra running, it can be done. Have fun! If you’re not having fun why are you doing it? Ok, so maybe it’s not all fun, and some sessions have to be done, and boxes need to be checked, but overall ask your
The sixth installment with host Tawnee Gibson sharing her life story as a college student who developed an eating disorder and amenorrhea, turned hardcore endurance athlete, coach, holistic health expert and more. It is a cautionary tale but also one full of hope and that self-healing, thriving and achieving dreams are always possible. For Part 1 click here. For part 2 click here. For part 3 click here. For part 4 click here. For part 5 click here. In this episode, Tawnee comes off a season of revelations and enters a phase of inner conflict—she is finally pursuing deep, intentional healing but also finds it hard to let go of racing and the pace of life that she is used to pushing. Something has to change, and her mind and body need to come into alignment. She also needs to find the fun in it again!The post OMM 20: The Autobiography Series, Part 6 first appeared on Endurance Planet.

On this episode we have The Sock Doc, Dr. Steve Gangemi, joining us for one final episode as EP winds down. Steve is a natural health care doctor who founded and practices at Systems Health Care, an integrative wellness center in Chapel Hill, NC. Steve is also a longtime endurance athlete and is a wealth of knowledge for athletes looking to optimize wellness. We are continuing our series, “When Things Don’t Go As Planned,” that dissects your health and injury issues that come up when you least want them and can negatively affect your training and race season–how to heal, prevent and overcome going forward of common (and not so common) issues that athletes face. Listen to No. 1 of the series here, and No. 2 here. When Things Don’t Go As Planned Part 1: Sciatica, Sciatic Pain—Or A Misdiagnosis? A lot of people think they have it but they really don’t. Pain in the glute or down hamstring doesn’t automatically mean sciatica. Sciatic nerve is really more from back of the knee down. Sensory innervations of the sciatic nerve is really only beyond the knee (distally–knee to foot), according to some research. But this is debated and some disagree. Common to misdiagnose sciatic pain (when it’s in fact something else). Sclerotogenous pain– this is a type of referred pain from lumbar spine/sacral area in the glute area or even hamstring that can get mixed up with sciatic pain. Whereas sciatic pain is more like numbness, tingling, sharp-stinging-type pain all the way down into calf and foot They both can come from lower back issues or piriformis, muscle imbalances, etc. If you do have sciatica—the #1 muscle involved is the piriformis muscle, in which the sciatic nerve can be in different places even going through this muscle in some people. Who is susceptible? What are contributing causes? Whether it is sciatic or something else, a lot of the causes and treatments are similar; don’t get too wrapped up in terminology if the roots to healing are all similar. Hormonal connection, i.e. sex hormones and stress hormones—muscles of pelvis can be affected when over-stressing the body in this way that leads to hormonal imbalances. Those with better hormonal status have better core strength and thus likely to have better performance. Or also an inflammatory condition or lack of offsetting inflammation in the body, including dietary
The fifth installment with host Tawnee Gibson sharing her life story as a college student who developed an eating disorder and amenorrhea, turned hardcore endurance athlete, coach, holistic health expert and more. It is a cautionary tale but also one full of hope and that self-healing, thriving and achieving dreams are always possible. For Part 1 click here. For part 2 click here. For part 3 click here. For part 4 click here. On this episode: Tawnee chronicles years 2011-2013. It begins with meeting her future husband John, starting as host of the Endurance Planet podcast, befriending co-host Lucho (and hiring him as her coach) and more business success. All the while, she experiences a peak in her triathlon/endurance racing, followed by downfall(ish), something Dr. Phil Maffetone has alluded to as a red-flag warning sign of overtraining syndrome. In late 2013 she had a horrible race at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships followed by an Ironman DNF two weeks later at Lake Tahoe, and with the way she felt and symptoms she was experiencing, she saw the writing on the wall: It was time to commit to her healing and health above all.

On this episode of Ask The Coaches with Tawnee and Lucho, we have a special announcement for our fans and more. Intro Banter Why Lucho doesn’t own a snow blower (yes, he was still under snow at time of this recording, in spring). The value of manual labor like shoveling your own snow. Lucho learns to snowboard… and also how he met and fell in love with his wife during an early-life era that involved skiing. Tawnee’s love for snowboarding. End Of An Era First, we announce the end of Endurance Planet, or, perhaps… a pause… for now. Tawnee shares her thoughts behind this difficult decision and what went into it. We also share our reflections as co-hosts of Ask The Coaches (and the multiple variations the show has had) for more than 13 years and what it’s meant to us. Stay tuned as Ask the Coaches #365 (the next show) will be our last and it’s a great show we have planned! Also, the podcast episodes will still be up for our fans and audience to listen to and go back into the archives to re-listen to past shows or recommend them to people who you think may benefit. If you have enjoyed this show, please leave us a positive review on the podcast app! Also, on this episode we followup to our mental toughness question from the last show, ATC 363. We had a lot of great feedback, comments and thoughts from that episode so in this one we cover a couple questions/comments: Anonymous Writes: Is It Ego, Discipline or Mental Toughness That’s The Driving Force? G’day Tawnee and Lucho, Thanks for the great shows you guys put together. I loved the recent episode on mental toughness and have really appreciated Tawnee’s recent series on her life and eating disorder (note: OMM 15 was the first installment of this series for those interested). Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. One of my favourite shows was Lucho’s wrap up of his last Ironman. Amazing to hear both of you being so honest. On the mental toughness episode Lucho said pushing past pain was foolish but I seem to remember Lucho talking throughout ATC about running through plantar fasciitis pain and other niggles or injuries. Was this driven by ego or your need/want to race? Just wondering how you justified this at the time and if you’re opinion on it has changed. I agree that David Goggins probably shouldn’t have turned his knees into dust but there has to be some middle ground? I recently trained a lot of swimming and decided to see if i could do 25km in the pool, I’d only ever done 10km in the pool before thi

We are excited to welcome back Jess Gumkowski to the show, with a profoundly impactful conversation exploring what it is to live as an Awake Athlete. Jess is head yogi, wellness coach and podcaster over at YogiTriathelte along with her husband BJ, and has years of experience in endurance sports, meditation, yoga, teaching and much more. She authored the book, Awake Athlete: When Mastery Is Your Only Option, which was published in 2023 and is part memoir part guide through life, its struggles and its beauty. On this episode, Tawnee and Jess take a deep dive on several related topics, though this does not make up or substitute the rich content found in her book. Our Brain & Meditation Thoughts, and their relationship to the brain; Monkey mind Chimp vs professor brain (a la Dr. Simon Marshall) Limbic (instinctive), prefrontal cortex (conscious), and neocortex (unconscious) brain Why there’s no substitute for sitting in silence Walking meditations, etc, have their place but not the same as quiet, stillness in a sitting meditation Helpful tips for when you’re down on your pace, performance, training, etc Using MAF training as an example here Visualization and imagining the athlete you want to be Being present and at peace with what is Ego Is Not the Enemy How to direct it from a small and limiting reality to assisting in positive change Identity: ego and identity also go hand in hand, how to have a healthy approach to this Leverage your ego toward your performance goals and away from the pain and suffering and fear that ego and cause us Considering our identity as an athlete Karma & Mistakes Fulfilling our personal karma, the good and the bad Everything is here to help you (also a book by Matt Kahn that is titled the same) Finding the lessons and gifts in EVERYTHING Emoting and Feelings Clinging to joy Clinging to really anything and why this does not serve our wellbeing Things like nostalgia and the familiar make us feel good so we gravitate toward that Moving away from reactionary emotions, and toward more calm temperament The Ho’Oponopono prayer to make things right And much more!The post <a href="https://enduranceplanet.com/jess-gumkow
