Breaking All the Rules: How Ryan Stille Got Faster

Alright, this episode is a wild one. I'm sitting down with Ryan Stille, an open-water swimmer who basically threw front-quadrant freestyle out the window and decided to swim like a normal human. You know, with actual efficiency and momentum not that "pause-and-pray" nonsense that everybody loves to preach. We get into the whole transformation: how he went from dragging through the water like he was towing a small boat to slicing through it like a damn torpedo.
