At 52, can I go sub-9 for Ironman? with Matt Spooner
Manage episode 403529216 series 2946118
You may have wondered about my choice of the phrase High Performance Human. It doesn’t relate to athletes who perform at the top of their age group.
The concept of high performance can be described as a measurable state where an individual consistently performs at a higher level of operational success compared with most of their peers within the same environment at a particular time. High performance is not absolute, but relative. Thus, a high performance human is someone who optimises their performance in many areas of their life - career, relationships, health, fitness etc. Many of you reading this will fall into that category even if you haven’t realised it. Today's podcast guest is Matt Spooner and he definitely is a High Performance Human. At 51 he is still getting faster as a long distance triathlete. If you are a regular on some of the triathlon pages on Facebook I’m sure you have come across Matt’s posts as he shares his experiences of training and racing with the aim of helping other athletes. In this conversation we chat about:- living in Switzerland and finding the perfect environment to live and train
- making a conscious decision to prioritise training and not get sucked into the corporate work trap of long working hours
- building consistency into his training
- learning from elite athletes
- the challenge of completing IM Wales 3 weeks after completing the 4000km Transcontinental Bike race.
- How to balance training around business travel
