Stoked to build strength and endurance with you guys tomorrow at 10am - Indy Performance Authority! 537 E Ohio St, Indianapolis, IN 46204 Coffee after at Parlor Public House!

I'm very excited to welcome Mike Gastineau to the Tri Loco Coaching Board @Mike Gastineau brings over 40 years of experience in running and triathlon, from first finish lines to IRONMAN podiums, plus the real-world wisdom that only comes from set-backs, comebacks, and enjoying this sport for the long haul. What I love most? Mike believes triathlon should fit into your life, not take it over. Whether you’re brand new to the sport, getting back after time away, or chasing a big personal goal, Mike meets athletes where they are and helps them move forward with confidence. Mike is currently accepting athletes. If you’re looking for smart training, sustainable progress, and a coach who genuinely cares about the human behind the race bib, this is your guy.

@Drew Blair's results are in, and the data tells a strong story. Drew completed a VO₂ max test on November 28th and retested on January 22nd, about 20 days after the 28-Day Breathwork Challenge concluded. An important note for context: she recovered from the flu between the end of the challenge (Dec 28) and the post-test. Her VO₂ max stayed essentially the same (46.2 → 45.9), which is well within normal test-day variability for a well-trained athlete and still places her in the “Superior” fitness category. Here’s the meaningful result: her anaerobic threshold moved closer to her VO₂ max. This means she can sustain a higher intensity before tipping into fatigue. In practical terms, she can go harder for longer without blowing up. Even more impressive given the illness gap, her breathing efficiency held strong all the way into peak effort, and recovery remained solid. These are exactly the adaptations we aim for with breathwork: improved control, higher CO₂ tolerance, and better efficiency near the redline. Changes like this typically take months to train indirectly. We saw them in weeks. It’s also worth noting that after her initial test, Drew adjusted her heart rate zones and focused primarily on Zone 1–2 aerobic base training throughout the challenge. Breathwork didn’t replace training — it enhanced how effectively she could use it. Breathwork isn’t about magically building a bigger engine overnight. It’s about using the engine you already have more efficiently and with more control. This is a great, data-backed example of that.

Team, I just wanted to let you know that we are monitoring the weather conditions and will make an executive decision around continuing the celebration first thing tomorrow morning. Please keep an eye out for updates.
