Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay. We're both professional triathletes; we train for and race triathlon for a living. Thanks so much for subscribing and helping us keep triathlon fun.
#thattriathlonlife #triathlontraining #paincave
This week Paula started running again after a stress fracture, using the Lever running device. The key to returning to running after a stress fracture is running a percentage of body weight and slowly building to full body weight and full run volume. The lever running device works exactly like an alter-G treadmill, for a fraction of the price. We also open water swim, and debrief Eric's race at Des Moines 70.3 and what changes need to be made for better performances later in the year.

Thanks good to hear even the Pro’s struggle at times. Keep pushing Eric and listen to yourself Paula, appreciate the great videos!
Quick recovery for both of you. Need to see you racing again!
The highs and lows, eh!?! Ya’ll probably know this very well but you’re so much more than an elite triathlete and for me not being a triathlete via TTL I get a glimpse into your lives as elites but just Paula and Eric. Buying a home, renovating, racing, blood tests, time with Flynn, food, coffee . . . simply you! Love it and look forward to more racing and other life stuff! Thoughts from Victoria, BC.
Cheering for the two of you as you recover from injuries!
Paddle boards are so fun. My husband paddles while I swim and its so nice. Glad Flynn likes the board.
Love the music at the end!
perfect music selection for the running section...nice video.
Love the last tune!
We are visiting bend for vacation! In down town bend there is a small dog shop with a bull dog they have really nice toys and treats you should take flin there sometime!
I imagine it’s already on the program, but I’m a fan/proponent/EVANGELIST for DWR: when I transitioned from 21.1km (NYRR 5 borough Half Series… MAN I miss those race courses 😭😢😥😪) to the 2009 MCM in addition to Shifting my Friday long Runs from 10, 12.5 & 15 to 15, 17.5 & 20, I did a 90 minute deep water run after my Masters Saturday Morning LCM practice. I probably also helped by prioritizing LISS over Fartlick.
Gratitude for sharing your insights & journey. The mindfulness on this channel has been therapeutic & inspiring. May your creative reservoir always be in the path of the deluge 🌊
Missed you guys last week, I looked but couldn't see you anywhere? Just broke off from today's stage at the Tour, where if you have been watching there has been all sorts of carnage! Already yesterday on day ONE! nIce to see you both back. Injuries suck!! Always frustrating when you cannot do what you want in training, but as you already know you just have to supplement the injury with training around the injury, as Paula says swimming and biking. Knowing the injury will eventually heal. Get well soon Paula. Stay safe both, see you next week, much love from the UK.
Eric posted he chose to not make a video to focus on the race.
5 weeks of resting after stress fractur will not be enough, get an MRT first and see if the fracture has closed, otherwise you will run in endless troubel! Jut got an female athlete with the same problem in the calcaneus, after 8 weeks the fractur is still visuable in the MRT pictures, so 6 more weeks of rest. Biggest problem in stress fractures is to start too early with running again, because you dont feel any pain while walkin around. Fill your Vit D and Calcium tank. Greetings from Germany
Note that Paula said she has a stress “reaction” not a stress fracture. The former can lead to the latter, but they aren’t the same thing.
Thats a super cool device, the Lever. Might have to get for all our triathlete and runners here. Thanks for sharing Paula and Eric.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for keeping it real. Injuries, life stress, balancing life admin...all the stuff that is relatable but often can be difficult to share. Much appreciated. I get blood test done as well but I might have missed it but can you tell us why you get them done? What are you looking to find or not find in the test?
Awesome video!
Hope you both recover soon!
Requesting "Flynn Learns to SUP" as a video.... 😂 Hope you both have good recoveries! 💜
Echo this!
oh man that drone shot over the river into the logo was epic!!! can I copy that for my sailing vids? and how do you have time to edit these videos with all that training?
1. Paula looks ripped!
2. My guy! You have it figured out, sorry for your troubles. Never forget, “When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.”
with struggles come success.. IF HANDLED APPROPRIATELY. (Which you are) can’t wait for the come up!
I though the exact same thing, Paula looks mega ripped!
"Is that 50% of your body weight?...I mean 75, it's like 75 right?" Good recovery Eric! 😄 Just kidding ya...it's tough to know the kg conversion...I'm cdn and still don't know it very well, always use lbs
I had this bone like pain above my ankle and then watched the video and you grabbed your ankle exactly where I have pain … Dr today …. Stress fracture club joined
NOT medical advice in the slightest, but having had a really tough soreness day in and out and chronic pain in my legs and having consulted with a rheumatologist (who wanted to put me on insulin and all that fun stuff), I decided to give Boswellia/Indian frankincense a try before going down the hardcore medical route. Now this may sound like a pitch from that friend on Facebook that got into a pyramid scheme, but it helped. Like a lot. The anti inflammatory powers of the boswellic acid really did the trick. So, maybe before going off the deep end medically and in support to the new strengthening routine, give it a shot. Again: NOT a medical professional, just a guy that got a big help with his major pain through it. And thank you for the honesty in the video, showing the tough times. It´s inspiring!
thanks for the tip, Lukas, we'll look in to both of those options. We're not set on any sort of supplementation regimen at this point, we're just trying to get as much information as possible in case there's anything obvious we should look at. We're definitely with you on going as natural as possible 👌
@@ThatTriathlonLife All the best for that journey of discovery 👍🏻 Your blood tests may show where to supplement too. It was eye opening for me to see a total lack of Vitamin D for example, which I could not get to normal without a supplement.
Hey Eric & Paula! LOVE your channel! Can I ask which Woodway model do you use?
Hey! Thanks :) it’s the desmo s
Hello, awesome video! Would you mind adding a link to the equipment Paula was using for returning to running. Thank you!
Thanks! Here it is www.leverrunning.com/
In Eric's last race, his swim was good, bike was competitive to the rest of the field, the run was a huge dropoff. Hope he gets it figured out. I'm sure its frustrating.
To be totally honest, the bike was pretty far off what I've done up until this year, but it seems like everyone struggled on this bike course, so it didn't really show. Definitely extremely frustrating with the run though.. I've had a lot of great run sessions lately.
@@ThatTriathlonLife Life stress is absolutely real and impactful and good to hear you're not discounting that. It's quite amazing all that you've both had going on in your life over this past year, it's insane. I'm sure once you have time to get more settled, things will normalize and your health and performance will be better than ever. You guys inspire us in many ways, thank you and keep up the great work. 👍💪
Anyone know which balm she is using for her ankle?
Oh no, Paula!!
I'm very interested on this Levee after seeing it with Kienle and Hanson.. 🤔 I'm physio and would have ton of users for it... 🤔 Paula's comments pushed the envelope, need to look into it.. 🤔
100% recommend. We were super skeptical, but it was pretty awesome to see the look on her face when it felt exactly like a $100k alterG
What’s the blam that she was rubbing on her ankle?
Have a good recovery! By the way, did he jump in the water?
Flynn? Yeah he defiantly bailed on the board haha
Are you guys in Colorado? I hope a speedy recovery for both of you!
We’re in Oregon, and thanks :)
Practicing River swimming for a 70.3 Oregon appearance????
You able to release the stretching and strengthening routine you was doing ?
Yeah we’ll probably get into it in an episode soon. For now: clamshells, reverse clamshells, one leg bridge, runners touch with weight, side lunge, reverse lunge
@@ThatTriathlonLife Perfect ! I've increased my milage significantly and started to pick up a little niggle in the hip, an imbalance somewhere. Shame you can';t Just run, gotta get all that extra strength and conditioning in aswell.
I look foward to the video !
Any discount code for the running lever ? 😄
haha I wish! Maybe if they like this we'll get there ;)
The edit tho 😂
0/538 dislikes. That is infinite like.
You were very happy for an athlete who had fasted 🤣🤣 I'd be eating my hand
we immediately got snacks in the grocery store 😂
I remember once I had to do a fasted test at 7.30am and the doctor said to me, oh you don't look too good. And I was just like yeahhhh that's what happens when I don't eat! 🤣🤣
Guys, is it possible to zip the Helix yourself? I just got one and I’m basically thinking no…😐
I have not managed it in 5 years 😅
Yeah I actually do it myself every time. The key is to get the top lined up and basically one tooth of the zipper engaged, hold it in place with your hand while using the other hand to pull the zipper down. Squeeze your shoulders together the whole time. As I type this I realize you have to be pretty flexible to pull this off 😂
@@ThatTriathlonLife I’ll practice E. I’ll practice. 😹
It's called StandUp Paddle not a KneeUp Paddle and if you do it right it could be as intense as any other training and core is the key! Try doing 10km SUP at full force and see how it feels.
Lol. I just did knee paddle so I could grab my camera quickly. Definitely have respect for hardcore SUP training
Eric!!!! Your looking like !!!!! Lazy. Pauly is making uou3
Will miss the high level TTL & coffee talk content but understand you need to focus on second half of season.
Maybe you are having some vaccine reactions?
I've wondered a lot about that. My super up and down energy levels did coincide with when we got the vaccine.
@@ThatTriathlonLife no matter what it is it’s probably good advice to step down intensity for a bit and see how your body reacts to it 👍🏼, you’ll be back at it in no time dude!
