Tanya and Adam Part 1

Most athletes think getting better means pushing harder—but real progress comes from understanding how your body is actually responding. In this episode, Tanya Zucco, physician assistant and Ironman triathlete, shares how learning to read your internal signals—like HRV, hormones, recovery, sleep, and stress—can unlock better performance without burnout or injury. From her journey into endurance sports to working with athletes over 40, she explains how small shifts in physiology can impact training in a big way, why overanalyzing data can hold you back, and how the best athletes become students of their own bodies to train smarter, recover better, and perform longer.
