Note from Mike:
It’s funny to look back at my head space 10 months away from my first Ironman. I was 49 years old and had just started running earlier that year. I’m a little bit amazed to recognize a lot of little things that sort of became the foundational principles for what ended up being the Crushing Iron Podcast.
I signed up for Wisconsin with four other guys and Robbie would later become our coach. This is the first interview in what was planned to be a documentary made about the process. We still have hope it will come together, but a lot has changed.
Here’s what’s covered in this Interview Clip with Mike:
- Trusting the process
- Predictions for his first Ironman
- What’s the reason or cause for doing his Ironman?
- How losing his close friend motivated him at the time
The full interview is about 13 minutes and in the C26 Online Hub. Click here for details.
