Day three of our Ironman World Champs week is Skye Moench! Skye came 4th at last years World Champs and with the women's race being on Thursday we are only a bit over one day away from seeing if she can better that this year. This chat with Skye is awesome, she takes us deep inside the training she's done in the lead up (and in her career as a whole). Not only do we talk about all of her training in crazy detail, we also chat about diet and weight in potentially the most meaningful way we ever have on an episode. Is looking at yourself and hating what you see normal as a triathlete even if you're in great shape? Are you alone if you have ever had thoughts like that? You're not and hear about it from one of the worlds best professional triathletes in this episode!  Sign up to Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/howtheytrain
