You may know Kris Gethin the bodybuilder, but Kris Gethin the ultra-endurance athlete? That's a new one. But not only is the master of pain training to do an Ironman triathlon, he's doing it in a fraction of the time that athletes usually take.

- How the typical triathlon training approach is a bad fit for Kris
- How he met his trainer, Alex Viada
- Kris on a Bosu ball? Get ready for it.
- How his traditional twice-daily cardio sessions helped him in the early going
- The difference, or lack thereof, in time commitment between his training styles
- The subtle art of distinguishing "OK pain" and "injury"
- His history with running, cycling, and swimming (there is none)
- How his nutrition has changed, both in general and during endurance work
- The ways in which he has strategically loosened his traditionally strict diet
- How he feels during his hybrid training
- Why he runs with a 70-pound weight vest on
