🔎 Top 5 Newsletters from 2023

1. Preparing for Your Race Day Swim

This was our first newsletter in the new Unfair Advantage format and boy did it make a difference! In this one, we do a deep dive on the physical and mental prep for race day.

Endurance Nation is known for its training plans, community, and race execution guidance. We have been doing race execution for so long that we took a lot of things for granted.

You told us that you really liked the format and the insights. Thanks! It motivated us to do an entire series on race day recon and strategy – taking nothing for granted!

2. OutSeason is when the Magic happens

We got a ton of views on the view embedded in this one and lots of questions about our Alt-OutSeason. In this one, I do a short video and talk about the aspects of the OutSeason and how Endurance Nation works.

And cover the new stuff for 2024 at the end of the video, like the Alt-OutSeason option and recovery focus for Master’s athletes.

3. How to Win the Holidays: Training Triage

We also figured out that you really like the videos and podcast links. It also helped some of you find our podcast archive. Double bonus for you and us! Thanks!

5. How to Get MORE Training Time ROI for Race Day

This one was all about recovery and getting more from the training you are already doing. This one was surprising…..at first.

Most age groupers are focused on the work and the workouts. But, we got a big bump in interest from Master’s athletes on this one. When we thought about it more, it made a lot of sense.

Master’s athletes want to keep doing epic stuff, but they realize Brute force training doesn’t cut it anymore. They know they need to get smarter about their recovery.
