Airplane Bike weight allowance

·44 min·3 clips

Two amateur triathlete co-hosts (Hayden/Steven and Max) discuss the week's training highs and lows in a casual, banter-heavy format. Topics span: heat adaptation training as 2026's big marginal gain; Max's secondhand Woodway treadmill story; treadmill threshold running inspired by Ingebrigtsen; witnessing 97 sub-29-minute finishers at the Valencia 10K; doping in Kenyan marathon running; airline bike box weight allowance inequity versus passenger weight; Ozempic's impact on athletic fueling; 'Ran to Japan' and the train-harder-not-smarter philosophy; and a teammate's claim that federation coaches are now training big toe strength for beach starts. The episode is titled around the airline bike allowance controversy.
