Gordo Byrn on Endurance, Balance, and Winning Ultraman

What 30 Years In Endurance Has Taught Him About Training, Life, and What Actually Matters

In his late 20s, Gordo Byrn left a high-powered career in finance to go all-in on endurance training. By the age of 33, he had won the Ultraman World Championships.

Gordo is one of the most thoughtful voices in the world of endurance. He writes regularly on his two Substacks — Endurance Essentials and True Wealth. Both are well worth checking out.

This is my full conversation with Gordo. We cover the “why” behind pursuing endurance training, what to do when training becomes compulsive, Gordo’s experience with over 100 training camps, how he ran his coaching business, and much more.

I’ve now recorded five episodes for the first season of my podcast. The feed will likely drop next month — as a reader here, you’ll be the first to know!

Thank you for your support!
