Running Camp Magic

#493 Training Camp Magic

 

Welcome

Welcome to Episode #493 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of interviews, coaching tips and discussion.

 

It’s a magical time here in the front range. Without Limits Colorado Triathlon is next week, Boulder 70.3 the week after and another magical G2G training camp this weekend with guest Coach Bobby McGee. And we literally had magic last weekend at our bike camp!

 

April, what tricks do you have up your sleeve today?

 

Oh, I’ve got a few spells ready—workouts, dream chasing, and some Rich-on-the-spot coaching! But before we dive into today’s endurance sorcery, let’s fuel up with our show sponsor who helps keep the energy steady, not spooky…

Show Sponsor: UCAN

UCAN created LIVSTEADY as an alternative to sugar based nutrition products. LIVSTEADY was purposefully designed to work with your body, delivering long-lasting energy you can feel. Whether UCAN Energy Powders, Bars or Gels, LIVSTEADY's unique time-release profile allows your body to access energy consistently throughout the day, unlocking your natural ability to finish stronger and recover more quickly!

Endurance athletes—what if you could go farther, faster, and feel better doing it? With Vespa Power Endurance Nutrition, you can unlock your body’s natural fat-burning potential and fuel performance without the sugar crash. Vespa helps you tap into steady, clean energy—so you stay strong, focused, and in the zone longer. Less sugar. More power. Real results. Fuel smarter with Vespa—because endurance is earned, not spiked.

 

Fun Fact: Vespa is the name of the Genus of Wasps.

Volunteer with us Jun 14, 2025 at the Boulder Res!

We are privileged to be in the IRONMAN Boulder 70.3 Transition Area again for 2025. 

 

If you like watching the race and cheering for spectators, there is no better seat in the house. As a volunteer you will be in the middle of the action and the volunteer shirt will get you access to a lot of places regular spectators cannot access (eg finish line).

 

Please join me by signing up for the Transition Area early shift. It's a dang early morning, but you are also done relatively early and will have a blast!
