Thought it would be great for everyone to post their favorite blogs about triathlon, endurance sports, healthy living, etc.

I'm finding a lot of triathlon blogs that are horribly outdated and hoping some of you have some fresh reads or listens.

Thanks!

I enjoy the Triathlete Training Podcast with Eric Schwarz. Good mix of guests and interview subjects.

Podcasts

  • Triathlete Training Podcast. Awesome podcast with great interviews, a variety of different guests and topics. The only downside is it's quite irregular. 
  • Tower 26 - Be race ready podcast. Focusing on swim training specifically for triathletes. Has been going for 8 episodes and I absolutely love this one. Probably the number 1 podcast I look forward to atm.
  • Fitter Radio - Great NZ podcast with several different segments to keep you engaged. Both discussions and advice of the two hosts, and interview segments with a triathlete (typically a pro) 

If you follow along with the pro circle in triathlon then I'd also recommend Babbitville radio and TRS Radio. Other podcasts you might want to give a try are Triathlon Swim Training (Tri Swim Coach), Cup of Tri podcast and Endurance Planet.

Blogs

Can I make a shameless plug here and direct you to my own? :P I'm fairly new to the game, but trying to get more consistent all the time, and be more focused on beginners and intermediate age-groupers, as I feel there are already a whole lot of blogs out there for those that are really serious about the sport. 

My favourite other blogs are

  • Joe Friel's Blog. Depends on what you like, it can be a bit technical and Training Peaks focused sometimes, but the man is a true wealth of knowledge and an excellent writer.
  • Training Peaks. They have a really high-quality blog with top coaches and experts providing the value.
  • Cody Beals does a great personal blog on life as a triathlete, with a lot of it being very applicable to all of us. I'm pretty new to reading this blog, but it's quickly becoming my absolute favourite.

I regularly listen to Endurance Planet (although Tawni's voice gets to me a bit) and Fat Burning man (Abel James) but my favorite at the moment is The Rich Roll podcast.

He takes a pretty expansive view, not just about training and technique, more so interviewing interesting people linked to the sport and nutrition that have something to say. Well worth a listen IMO

    I spend a lot of time on the trainer and I listen to podcasts

    IMO, Fitter radio is probably the best all round podcast these days.
    The host is an AGer that just won IM NZ,, a coach and very knowledgeable. The podcast is broken down into nice bite size chunks. There is always a nutrition segment, a training segment, a geek section and a pro/elite interview.

    Tower 26 is THE goto resource for swimming. I love the way Gerry cuts through a lot of the swim BS out there.

    IM Talk also from NZ is good for news.

    I pick and choose the Babbitt interviews.

    I will listen to Zen, EP and a few others when travelling but I find the information questionable at times.

    Lionel's blog can get interesting. Cody also provides great info.
