Our guest today is Aaron Hopkinson. He is the coach for the IronCowboy race team. I met Aaron back in the summer of 2020 when I hired him as my coach to train me for my first six day run. Over the past seven years he has completed some amazing adventures with his team and I brought him on today to share those experiences. His first big adventure was back in 2014 when he helped crew the IronCowboy James Lawrence for his 50/50/50 , that’s 50 Ironman distance triathlons in 50 states in 50 days. Incredible accomplishment. His next big journey was back in 2019 when he teamed up with James and two other racers to compete in the Worlds Toughest race in Fiji. It was a 10 day multi stage race covering over 600 km. That leads us up to his most recent adventure starting March 2021 win the Iron Cowboy race team started the Conquer 101. That is 101 full distance triathlons in 101 days, this time staying in one city and being able to focus fully on recovery and racing. Aaron decided to do the bike portion of the 101 every day which is 114 miles everyday for 101 days, that came out to 11,514 miles over 101 days. Basically like crossing the United States almost 3 1/2 times on the bike. It’s an amazing accomplishment in itself.
I highly recommend you check out his coaching program he knows what he’s doing.
