500th Podcast Episode

As per Jonathan’s recent request on the AACC podcast #465, what would we like to see in Ep 500?

I’d love to see the hosts set themselves a cycling or triathlon challenge to train for, although that it is unlikely

Invite previous hosts back for a one-off catchup?

Other thoughts?

Maybe asking what’s the one bit of advice they wish they’d known 500 episodes ago…

Maybe 500 beers with Chad?

Would be wicked to have a couple of cameos. Some may not be possible, but I’d love to hear Pete and Amber’s voices again.

Also, how far TR has come (as a product, as a company, as individual podcast hosts) since episode 1.

Chad, Nate, and Jonathan

+1

+1 the OG together
The original trio was the best

That would be the dream, eh? :+1:

Yup. I’d invite Amber and Pete. Chad won’t get an invitation for reasons.

Make it a live event in front of audience.

Chad was always my favourite part of the podcast

A live ramp-test, like they used to do.

Being back Chad for a “Beers w/Chad” episode. That could get a little gnarly though!

Now THAT would be worth watching…the one with Nate downing wine at a frightening rate was legendary episode! :joy::joy::joy:

Beers FOR Chad

I would love to hear Chad back again

I would 100% get back on the bandwagon if they set themselves a challenge to train for. I was totally engrossed when they did the time trial series, and I was waiting until they announced which Ironman they would be training for so that I could sign up for that one too, and listen/train along with them! It’s a real pity that fell apart.

Someone else suggested a live ramp test. Jonathan won’t do that, but what if they each did a ramp test tomorrow, then set themselves a challenge to see how much they could improve between now and ep500?

I don’t think any of them want the pressure these days. They’ve learned (probably rightly imo) that having thousands of people watching and judging your every move doesn’t tend to end well.

Having a bunch of strangers scrutinizing your performance would suck the fun out of it

Please no more sycophantic Alex Wild “I work a (semi-) full-time job, have a family (with no kids), love TrainerRoad (except I have a professional coach) so I’m just like you except I have a 425 watt FTP” stuff. There are some hard eye-rolls during those.

Honestly I like Alex… super down-to-earth guy…
he always replies to any messages and you follow him on Instagram you’ll see he’s pretty honest
