Podcast #11 Ryan Sippel- Ironman and Ironman Championship talk, Boston Marathon, training, and Gear

Had a chance to catch up with Ryan Sippel who recently ran the Boston Marathon, we talk about his experience running it. Also talk about Ironmans he has completed and different things that go on during a Ironman race. He is going to Nice, France later this year to compete in the Ironman championships.

He has a great endurance backround. Was a wrestler in high school, served our country and now is a Pittsburgh Fireman. Used to lift heavy. One day did a ultra race a week before his wedding that got him hooked on endurance events.

You can tell from listening to him that he really enjoys testing himself to see what he can do. Very upbeat about events, while having huge goals that he no doubt will crush. I enjoyed listening to the details he provides and the insight he gives. The way he speaks about races you cam hear that he takes all his surroundings in during competition so he can use it later to grow.

He has a great support system at home and around him.

It will be fun to watch him at the world chamionships and at other events he does this year and years to come.
