Dr. Justin Ross, Sports Psychologist
Manage episode 376914038 series 2597442
Welcome to episode 193 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We’ve got a great episode for everyone this week. Joining us in studio G is Dr. Justin Ross. He’s a sports psychologist/zen master out of Colorado and someone who we’ve been talking a lot about on the show since we learned about him from the morning shakeout podcast. We had this conversation right before leaving for Sweden and it seems fitting to share it upon our return.
But first…
Training Update
It feels really nice to say that there is no longer a 70km ÖTILLÖ-sized elephant in the room and we can get back to a more realistic training volume. No rest for the weary though as Chris is headed to Massachusetts for the inaugural Swimrun Cape Cod.
Shoutout
We’re giving a blanket shoutout this week to everyone that reached out to us to either wish us well in Sweden and/or checked in on us afterwards. We mention it often that it’s always super humbling to see all the support that we receive from everyone and we appreciate it more than we can adequately express.
Feats of Endurance
Keeping the theme going, we’re giving a blanket award to everyone that raced (and volunteered) at ÖTILLÖ last week. We’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating that everyone that lines up at the start of that race gets all of our respect, regardless of outcome on the day.
Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.
This Week in Swimrun
Now for the news.
It doesn’t happen often but there are not one but two Swimruns taking place in the U.S. this weekend.
Over in Washington, Ödyssey Swimrun Orcas Island is taking place on Sunday, Sept. 17th. We love this race and can’t recommend it enough.
Over in Massachusetts, New England Endurance Events is hosting its inaugural Swimrun Cape Cod. The race takes place in the town of Wellfleet and has been sold out for a couple of months. Make sure to check out the podcast next week for our race report of this new race.
Over in the U.K., Swimrun Oxford is taking place on Sunday Sept. 17th. Thank you Mike Phillips for putting this race on our radar. It looks like a fun one so head over there if you’re able to support this local event.
That’s it for this week. Reach out to us if there’s anything that you’d like for us to mention on the show.

Dr. Justin Ross
It was really great to chat with Dr. Ross. As we mentioned at the outset, we discovered Justin at the start of the year and began incorporating his methodology in our build up to ÖTILLÖ. In this conversation we chatted about his background and approach, the importance of self-awareness, what it means to be “in it,” and so much more. You’ll want to get your notepads out for this one.
You can learn more about Dr. Ross on his website.
Enjoy!
