The Jake Savage Podcast
Hello - my name's Jake Savage and I'm an endurance enthusiast. From knocking on the doors of nearly 100,000 strangers to racing full Ironman triathlons, I've found that I feel the most alive in the midst of activities that require me to ask myself, "Do I have what it takes to endure this?". This show explores the world of endurance through conversations with pro & amatuer athletes, subject matter experts, and innovators in the space. If you're looking to boost your mental, emotional, and physical stamina, you're in the right place.

[endurance] #138 - From 0 to 140.6 with Parker Olson (debunking Ironman myths along the way)

Episode 138
Parker Olson is surely one of the most unique individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He's an entrepreneur, an adventurer, and in 2021 - he became an Ironman (having never even done a triathlon or other endurance event before signing up). Using inexpensive used equipment, goofy outdated apparel, and homemade whole food endurance fuel - the man was able to keep his 'all in' costs to a meager $2k.
This episode is perfect for anyone that's been putting off their dream of a 140.6 because of costs and time. Enjoy!
