Just Keep TRI-ing: Jim Logan's Road from Stage 4 Cancer to Kona
When Jim Logan was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer, doctors told him he might have six months to two years to live. More than two years later, Jim is still training, still racing, and preparing for the biggest race of his life: the Ironman World Championship in Kona. In this episode, Coach Jill sits down with Jim to discuss his cancer journey, training through chemotherapy, overcoming setbacks, the mindset that kept him moving forward, and the release of his new book, Just Keep TRI-ing. Jim shares how endurance sports helped prepare him for the toughest battle of his life, why he never stopped training, and how his philosophy of discipline, sacrifice, suffering, and pain continues to guide him today. Whether you're an athlete, cancer survivor, caregiver, or simply facing your own challenges, this conversation is a powerful reminder of what's possible when you keep moving forward.
