Currently , as long as the Script finishes, the job state is success and it is not possible to see if a certain job had some issues.

Mark Allen has not only won 6 Ironman World titles in Hawaii, but was also the very first Olympic Distance World Champion, he won the Nice International Triathlon every single time he showed up on the starting line..10 times to be exact. Mark has won every major title in triathlon during his racing career. And because of all that, ESPN named him The Greatest Endurance Athlete of All Time.

The primary reason I thought mark would be one of the best guess ever for the Doc On The Run Podcast is because Mark is one of the very few people during those early years of serious Ironman racing who never had to have surgery because of overtraining injuries. Since training methods were new or non-existent, many Ironman athletes were grinding themselves into the ground with their workout routines. Most of the top guys from that era had to have surgery or had major overtraining injuries that took them out of competition.

Fortunately for us Mark has agreed to take time out of his schedule and share his story with all of us today.

Possibly the greatest moment in in the history of endurance competition, was never caught on film. I remember as a kid watching the Ironman World Championships on television. You and Dave Scott, the reigning champion were running side-by-side Down the Queen K Hwy.

Today runners, triathletes and ultra marathoners all have an enormous amount of wisdom and experience at our disposal. We can read The Total Triathlete, you wrote with Bob Babbitt. We can listen to interviews on podcast like this. And we can even hire a coach, like you to help us identify the errors in training we make on a daily basis.

Dr. Segler:

Overtraining injuries are the worst possible affliction of an endurance runner. Obviously if we get injured, we get weaker. And then we have to start all over after we destroy hour fitness through the rest/recovery process.

But even though I know and understand that, I was a little shocked when you actually told me the tissue damage from my usual routine, was probably preventing me from qualifying for the Ironman World Championships.

I explained to you that every year I would ramp up my running fitness in the offseason and then do the Houston Marathon in January or February as a warm-up for the training season. My thinking was starting the year off with sound running fitness poised me to build my base triathlon fitness through the rest of the year.

Can you explain why athletes make the mistake of training too hard, or racing earlier the year, and how that tissue damage really does get carried throughout the rest of the season when we do a big race early in the year.

Dr. Segler:

One dangerous thought pattern that afflicts endurance athletes is the misconception or belief that success in long distance events simply requires training long.

We think we should suffer, every day, in the same way we expect to suffer on race day. There seems to be a belief that daily suffering will make us strong enough mentally to overcome anything on race day.

Dr. Segler:

Most athletes think about the biomechanical stresses they apply during training. We like to focus on running form to decrease pounding forces, we think about stress and strains on our bodies. But we ignore others stressors in our lives.

Much of what I learn in that weekend was not what I expected. You and Brant both spoke a great deal about how a small shift in spirituality or mental awareness can make all the difference for an athlete.

One of the things you talked about was how every year Dave seem to be winning, but once you finally made that switch, which happens to be really well illustrated in the book Iron War, after that, you were taking home the Ironman titles year after year.

I also remember you telling a story about a German guy you trained with who would basically taunt you and tell you he was going to be you in Hawaii. Can you just share that story with us to help us all understand how we really and truly have to be patient if we want to be successful in endurance sports.

When athletes reach out to you to work with you personally, if there as an athlete trying to make it to Kona, or if someone would like to have you as a motivational speaker at an event, where is the best place for them reach out to directly?
