The goal of Athlinks has always been to make racing and event participation more accessible to everyone, regardless of background - athletic or otherwise. "More people, racing more often, having more fun in the process" is our stated mission and we've put our efforts into collecting over 340 Million race results from nearly 1.5 million races over the years, so that athletes could have "all of their results in one place". We've wanted to do our small part to make it easier for more people to call themselves endurance athletes.

Each show will be a 60 to 90 minute interview with some of the millions of athletes who cross a finish line around the world every year - telling the stories behind the steps, the pedals, and the swim strokes. The blood sweat and tears, the successes and failures of finishing.

From time to time, we will dive into the deep science like VO2 Max and Lactate thresholds and every once in a while we will talk to the world's most elite-level professional endurance athletes, but for the most part, we're going to be talking with everyday age groupers like you and me - people balancing work and life while training and racing. We're also going to be talking with event organizers and other folks who make the products and services that we, as endurance athletes, love and rely on to accomplish our goals.
