The Endurance Planet Hour
This week’s Endurance Planet Hour is a “best of” edition that we’re calling “Fact and Fiction.” We’re featuring two stories from our archives. The first is a piece of non-fiction from our Human Kinetics Corner segments. It’s an excerpt from sports psychologist Sue Jackson’s book “Flow in Sports…The Keys to Optimal Experiences and Performances.” The second story is a piece of fiction from our old Breakaway Books editions. It’s the story called “Wheelbarrow” about an unlikely miler. Written by Eddy Orcutt, “Wheelbarrow” was taken from The Runner’s Literary Companion edited by Garth Battista.

The Endurance Planet Hour
This week’s Endurance Planet Hour focuses on 3 individuals in the sport of triathlon who are facing significant challenges of different types. Six-time Ironman World Champion Dave Scott speaks with us about his long road to recovery following his bicycle wreck with an SUV. We also speak with age-group triathlete Matt Hoover who is determined to become an Ironman. If Hoover’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he rose to the challenge on season two of The Biggest Loser and won the reality show’s grand prize. And finally, we talk about the challenges that Olympic triathlete Matty Reed has faced since he publicly announced his decision to get cycling help from banned cyclist Tyler Hamilton (a decision he has since reversed.)
