    Description

    Tim "Lucho" Waggoner raced as a professional triathlete where he placed top 12 at the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, won the USA National Ironman Championship back in 2004 and was the US Triathlete of the year in 2000.  After retiring from triathlon, Tim dove headfirst into ultra racing where he won (and broke the course record) in his first 50-mile trail race. He then went on to place 6th at the Leadville 100 and was the overall winner of the Leadman series in 2012, which includes all of the Leadville races. So yeah, he is a bit of a badass.In our chat, we get into:
    Tim's history as an endurance athlete
    When and why he got into coaching
    What he learned from being a coach
    Why “it depends” is often the answer to so many fitness (and life) questions
    How he is approaching his athletic goals are now
    How his priorities and reasons to be fit/durable have changed over the years.
    Then Tim offers three nuggets - workouts, mindsets, strategies, or advice for listeners who want to upgrade their fitness.You can hear Tim on the Ask the Coaches podcast episodes at enduranceplanet.com and you can find him online at instagram.com/runnerluchoVisit BrockArmstrong.com for more episodes, videos, articles, newsletters and more!

    I have one goal: to help you think differently about exercise so you can move more of your body, more often, in more and more interesting ways. None of us want to exercise harder or longer to get good results (we have jobs, families, and lives) we want to exercise smarter not harder, and we want to have fun while doing it. Here’s the thing, none of us wants to exercise harder or longer to get good results – we have jobs, families and lives. We want to exercise smarter not harder, and we want to have fun while doing it. As I, Coach Brock Armstrong (formerly the Get-Fit Guy), begin the second half of my first century on this planet (I am 50 on Aug 3), I will use my background in Cognitive Behavioural Theory, endurance sport, and a lifelong love of movement to help you move through this world with ease, now and later in life. This podcast isn’t about getting skinny, ripped or jacked – but it is about being fit, capable, healthy and happy! Whether you were fit when you were younger and let it slide, you never found a fitness program that worked for you, or you are just tired of working so hard to stay fit, it’s about time to get your second wind. A little bit about me – as a child and teen, I was always active and fit but in my 20s, after an injury forced me to leave my career as a professional ballet dancer, I kind of started coasting. Then in my 30s, things got worse. I got a government desk job, gained weight, drank more than I should, allowed depression and a generalized anxiety disorder to grow, and then had a major heart-health scare. The culmination of all this caused me to wake up and begin to seriously focus on my overall health. After that, and through my 40s, I made a point of working for prominent wellness gurus (like Dave Asprey, Monica Reinagel, Katy Bowman, Mark Sisson, Ben Greenfield, Mark Divine, and Abel James) and used everything I learned from them to turn my health and fitness around. I also took courses, acquired certifications, and became a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy practitioner. Now, heading into my 50s, I am focusing on continuing to improve (not fall apart) — and I want to bring you along on my journey through podcast episodes, interviews, articles, and videos sharing everything I know (and am still learning). I am not a millionaire. I am not genetically gifted. I am just like you, simply doing the best with what I have. I am an easy-going Canadian, who is easy to talk to, doesn’t fall for fads or false hype, and focuses on non-intimidating but effective ways to get and stay healthy and fit. So if you are ready to move more of your body, more often, in more and more interesting and satisfying ways, subscribe to the Second Wind Fitness podcast where ever you listen to audio.
