Gatorade has launched "Inside Endurance", a new web series featuring Ryan Sutter, and various other endurance athletes, as they prepare for triathlons, marathons and even off-road bike races. The series will document the endurance athletes' journeys as they conquer some of the nation's toughest races while receiving guidance from the Gatorade Sports Science Institute and top endurance athletes like Chris Legh, Shalane Flanagan and Dathan Ritzenhein.
If the name Ryan Sutter sounds familiar, then is might be safe to say you're familiar with reality TV and the "Bachelorette" television show. You know, Trista picked him and they married in a high-profile wedding. Outside the spotlight Sutter is firefighter who is always looking for a challenge. He has completed two Ironmans and just a few weeks ago finished the Chicago Triathlon.
Inside Endurance: Episode 1
Ryan Sutter reveals how he discovered a passion for endurance sports after injury ended his NFL career. Now, after fighting his way to multiple finishes near the top of his age group in triathlon, Ryan has reached a plateau and knows he'll have to transform his approach to training and nutrition to take his performance to the next level. Meanwhile, in order to achieve his goal of qualifying for the XTERRA USA Championship for the first time, he'll need a top-three finish in his age group at XTERRA Indian Peaks. It's one of the last races, and last chances, he'll have to qualify this season.
