About this episode

JD Tremblay discusses his BRAIN system for ultra-endurance recovery and training strategies.

What if everything you've been told about training harder is the reason you're breaking down? JD Tremblay is one of only 3 people to complete the Epic Deca - 10 Ironmans in 10 consecutive days. He didn't get there by pushing harder. He engineered it. In this episode, JD reveals the BRAIN system he uses with athletes, military, and high performers across 4 countries. He explains why elite Kenyan runners train at 5-6 minutes per kilometer most days, why a 12-minute nap beats 2am caffeine, and why studies show humans cannot truly multitask. Meet our guest JD Tremblay is a former military member with over a decade of service, an ultra-endurance triathlete, naturopathic practitioner, and Integrated Performance Engineer. He serves as Director of High Performance & Mental Resilience Advisor at Hungry Warrior Academy. Only 3 people have ever completed the Epic Deca (10 consecutive Ironmans).
