Black Canyon 50k Training + New Bike Position Tweaks for Ironman

[@chadbeert]

Still the best triathlon content on KZbin!

[@FinnRiverRovers]

Was fantastic to get a new TTL video on my birthday! Thanks as always for letting us tag along with your lives, cheers from SLC...Ryan

[@heikkisanelma6625]

As a physio I'm encouraged the way you got out of that physio appointment.. most likely pain has multiple factors... Good way to look at it is that in western countries about 80% over 30yo have spinal disc pathology, UT not that many has any issues with it... Joint dysfunction develops multifaceted adaptations all around the body and might bring some surrounding or far away tissues under load they are not prepared thus developing issues of function or pain or both..

[@trijon900]

Love the format, please keep 'em coming! 👍

[@SebastianSasu-s2t]

Eric, great video as always! I'm so excited to see you continue your journey into trail running! However, since it doesn't seem like you have a full picture of what's going on with your hip, at least not yet, please be careful to not make things worse. 50K is certainly not nothing and the Black Canyon races are more competitive. I always have to remind myself: the mountains and trails aren't going anywhere, my ability to enjoy them could if I don't listen to my body.

[@matthewbjaffe]

Eric, you’re an insanely talented storyteller so whatever format and frequency you land on, I’m here for it and I’m sure TTL naysh is too Good luck with your hip. Had a full replacement in my late 30s and did 70.3 Palm Springs a few years later. Hip issues are no fun but they can be overcome. Stay positive

[@hloftus08]

Oh how I needed a fresh Sunday ttl video to cheer me up. More of these please! Love the pace and style of this video. 🎉

[@nicolehubers4329]

Good morning from Vancouver Island! Eric, so happy to hear some optimism about your hip with a new PT. I work as an RMT and closely with other PTs and have lots of clients with success without labral surgery. However, every body is different and you demand so much of your body daily, I hope you do what is best for yours! Good luck!

[@jacquelynreneeschneider8121]

I love what you all do with TTL. Excited for what's next in 2025, thank you!

[@Zinger666]

Awesome video as always Eric, all the best with your health this year!!

[@JulieMcPhilomy]

Love you guys always! Excited to see Paula’s year and wishing you all the best with the hip-from one torn labrum to another

[@garywheeler-h4n]

Thank you so much for letting us into your lives. You’re authentic and engaging. Good luck this season.

[@19EmmaWilson96]

Love this format Eric! Then again, love any content you out out because it’s fun, and motivated, and real. Also really enjoyed the new poddy format!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad to hear you’re digging it!

[@davidhaythorn5983]

Hi, there a little late but here as always, I hate missing premieres but never miss an episode, great catch up although I know your super busy and don't release videos weekly anymore, love it when we get one. As for next season our pre season is ramping up here to, Off to a few races next season, after some time on a low after losing my mum last April and having to cancel T100 Ibiza, but that and others are on the radar for 2025 as I am back! working as my dear mum would expect living a life less ordinary, and as we all know there is nothing ordinary about being a triathlete, Pro or age grouper. stay safe both hope to see you out there in 2025, much love from the UK David x

[@MissGimpsAlot]

Drone in a tree was the first vid of yours I came across Cheers, i appreciate your content. God bless 🙏✌️

[@scboulder1985]

Happy New Year TTL! Been following since the first video post and have enjoyed every video. Especially Paula's Texas blows! lol. Good luck to you both in 2025 and Bring the Noise!

[@mattia_pastore]

Baby Flynn is too cute! And unimaginable that a my dog would not run straight to the other dogs instead of going for the tennisball 😂

[@TimGwaltney]

Excited about the season for you both. . Another great video

[@braapin13]

I had similar hip issues...acetabular impingement with torn labrum. Got to point where it was difficult to walk or sleep due to pain. I had surgery over 10 years ago and couldn't be happier.

[@johnbgriffinjr116]

Sipping a green tea in my newly arrived TTL mug on a cold and rainy day, (after a death march run), watching the new TTL vid… aaaahhh life is indeed good! ✌🏼

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That mug is living its best life ❤️

[@micromike2309]

loved it! i feel like artsy mixed with vlogy stuff will be a good choise

[@atmphotog]

Would love to see Paula race iron-distance.... whatever you do have a great 2025 TTL.

[@dylan_tanner]

Great stuff as always! I'll see ya at Black Canyon!

[@mikeandkimberlybarella7240]

Keep up the positive attitude toward your hip!!! You're going to get past this!

[@AlexPappas94]

Currently dealing with a torn labrum and trying to figure out if surgery is the answer… this video hit pretty close to home for me since I’ve been off the bike since October because of it… really looking forward to following along and hope everything works out!

[@KateSommerville-q5b]

Love this!!! Thank you

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Appreciate you watching!

[@Daimoku1938]

Glad to see Nick "The Wing Flyer" and so called "Third Leg" back on stage...

[@phriend2spin]

"That Training Life" - more encompassing name and you keep TTL merch

[@ironman140.6]

Hey Eric, sorry to hear about your hip - best in your recovery.

[@juliandiazromero4101]

I am green with envy at Paula's perfectly straight back 😂

[@bonn1771]

Looking forward to 2025 and hope everything goes well.. And your hip doesn't act up anymore Good luck Paulie when you do a full distance tri

[@laurenlewis366]

Baby Flynn !!!!

[@jamesdalton2379]

Challenge Roth is an experience like no other. No idea what it would be from a pro perspective - but the AG experience is unmatched by any other race I've done.

[@KateSommerville-q5b]

Agree!!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It’s being considered…. :)

[@brentcharlton1065]

Eric, when does Paula sponsor you for a PR card and you lower those healthcare costs? Canmore baby!! 🇨🇦

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

😂 as soon as we’re done racing professionally and can do Cammore weather year-round!

[@discreetknight]

Ah take 2 🤩

[@pedroizquierdo7192]

Grest video as always! How did you like the Salomon Genesis Eric?

[@NickGoldston]

Bend Winter looking pretty great

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Nowhere near as great as Boulder, but we manage

[@kazimirsmith]

baby flynn!!

[@timobrien256]

Good luck with that hip….I know it can be a long painful journey but keep asking questions and doing your research!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Appreciate that! Collecting as many opinions and learning as much as I can

[@mitchbaker8666]

You guys need to hit up Paul “the balanced runner” would transform both your runs I reckon plus help you a lot with your hip. As worked with Ellie salthouse so would be worth asking her ✌🏼

[@Jono01]

Thanks for this video Eric and Paula. Just one quick question for Paula. Have you thought about putting the saddle slightly further forward as well on your TT bike? I’m guessing the front of the saddle is 5cm back from BB atm for UCI position.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Yep I actually mentioned that with the new seat post we got, but I guess that wasn’t very clear. They have a seat post that moves the saddle forward about 3cm, so we started with that 👍

[@zach6138]

great vid! heads up - it's just Black Canyon (no s)

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

You're right! My bad, I’ve only ever heard people say it with an “S”

[@zach6138]

@@ThatTriathlonLife it's no biggie just out here evangelizing for the good folks at Aravaipa. also, hope the labrum starts feeling better! I tore mine running track in college and had it repaired but it didn't take / surgeon didn't shave the impingement so it's still torn. PT and strengthening has helped me a ton and I'm delaying another surgery for as long as possible. unless it's locking/clicking a bet you can keep pushing

[@1519Spring]

I want you to do what makes you happy. I only consume your youtube and podcast media. Have been watching UltraTrailSteven's hip replacement surgery vlogs.

[@jordanmuller2648]

Muito bom!!

[@NihilimZA]

Great vid as always. As a South African I got really excited and disappointed so fast when you said "UCI worlds are in South Africa this Year, there is a much lower chance that she will do UCI worlds"

[@paula_findlay]

I would love to go!!! we'll see if that travel is doable :)

[@ccuellar6212]

Sundays are back!….i hope.

[@thomasbrodowicz944]

where did nick get that red bull puffer from?

[@paula_findlay]

Eric himself!😂

[@thomasbrodowicz944]

@ so I can’t get a Red Bull puffer anywhere? 😭

[@seanvonlost]

Eric is the a hip thing that stem cells could help? There’s a place I hear about here in Austin.

[@smjtri]

I’ve had both hips surgically repaired with labrum tears and FAI (cam type). Let me know if you have any questions And I highly recommend finding a dr that has specializes in this surgery and has done 1000+ of them.

[@CoachMattPowered]

2025's best ultra content will be from a triathlete

[@thenickcornell]

Black Canyon, it's just one canyon. ;)

[@eitanshushu]

noooooooo paula is the Q of mid distance specificity, dont go long

[@paula_findlay]

I’m not “going long” hate that term! Haha

[@firstlast1174]

Hey, thanks for the awesome videos. Wanted to give some feedback on the cuts when filming somebody talking: Aggressive cropping out small bits leads to a jerky and unnatural feeling. For example kzbin.info/www/bejne/roaUhHWugbipf80 (the following ~30s where Paula talks about the bike fit) - very dizzying effect to have a small jump in the video every second!

[@paula_findlay]

Guess I need to be more concise in my interviews 😜

[@firstlast1174]

@@paula_findlay No, I doubt you went off on tangents there. This is some very short bits cropped out (usually pauses). I just wanted to put my voice in to say that I like some pauses and I like the video being continuous and not jumping around like that :). The same thing also happens here in the intro when Eric talks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roaUhHWugbipf80 - even though it is a little less extreme than my original example, for me it disrupts the flow of the video.

[@HouseOfShanks]

Had to give it a 👍 so you weren’t stuck on 666 likes 😂
