Show Notes
In this episode, Adam sits down with his wife Tanya — multiple-time Kona qualifier and founder of Elite Peak Health — to talk about what really drives long-term performance in endurance sports.
After a season derailed by injury, Tanya shares how that experience shifted her perspective on durability, recovery, and what it actually takes to stay competitive over time.
They break down the idea that endurance athletes rely on two engines: the aerobic system that helps you go fast, and the musculoskeletal system that determines whether you can handle the training without breaking down.
The conversation goes beyond training to cover how sleep, nutrition, hormones, and overall health all play a role in performance — especially as athletes get older.
If you want to train hard, stay healthy, and keep improving for years (not just seasons), this episode gives you a more complete way to think about performance.
