Andy Magness - How To Train For GODZone (#176)
Andy Magness is many things — husband, father, recreational philosopher, novice gardener, reluctant homeowner, occasional adventurer, part-time athlete, race director, youth philanthropist, burgeoning author, and eternal possibilitist (not to mention avid neologist). An avid climber and mountaineer during his younger days, Andy followed his twin brother Jason into the world of extreme endurance sports more than a decade go. His experiments in high intensity training for these events began as he tried to keep up with Jason while simultaneously starting a family and going back to graduate school in Physics.
Andy has had continuous success competing in a variety of ultra-endurance disciplines despite reducing his weekly training commitment from 3 hours a week in 2007 to between 30 and 60 minutes a week at present (2018)! In his most recent extreme endurance event, GODZone, Andy's team placed 7th out of 100 teams.
Check out Andy's first appearance on the podcast here and Andy's excellent book - UltraMental: An unconventional approach to training for endurance events on a few hours a week (or less)

- Andy's tortuous ordeal competing in GODZone (one of the toughest adventure races on the planet)
- How Andy uses HIT principles to maintain fitness and prepare for endurance events
- How to cultivate a healthier well-being in the face of unrealistic expectations and social media
