Rob Wilby
This week Coach Rob answers listener questions covering the details that trip up first-time IRONMAN athletes.
What actually goes in your special needs bags on the bike and run course?
Should you change kit in transition or race the whole day in a tri suit?
What does the final two-week taper look like after your last race simulation?
Rob also breaks down aero gains beyond clip-on bars - race wheels, tires, shaved legs - plus the essential spares and tools you need to fix problems yourself on race day, since mechanical support on course is limited.
We also hear listener race reports from a first full IRONMAN in Switzerland and a first 70.3 finish at The Lakesman.

In this episode:
- Racing without a power meter: why Rob thinks a power meter is a "worry removal tool" rather than a cost, and how to reframe the spend over your training block. If you're going with heart rate, he covers the five variables that distort it, the time-lag that trips you up, how to set functional threshold heart rate from a 20-minute test, and the thirds-based pacing method that accounts for cardiac drift.
- Training at altitude for a sea-level race: why you need two sets of zones, not one. How to find your delta between altitude and sea level, and why heart rate gives you a bridge between the two while pace never will.
- Shoulder pain in the aero position: normal adaptation or warning sign? Why "I've had a bike fit" doesn't rule out a problem, why pain in the water as well changes the picture, and why regular hands-on physio work beats pushing through it.
- Success story: Listener Max takes on IRONMAN Switzerland in 30°C heat with 2,200m of climbing and comes home in just over 12 hours!

Should busy age-groupers actually race in carbon-plated shoes? And how do you train for an IRONMAN when your job runs on four-days-on, four-days-off night shifts?
In this listener Q&A, Coach Rob Wilby answers real questions from athletes preparing for their first IRONMAN and 70.3. He covers how to structure training around shift work and disrupted sleep, why recovery has to come before more training, and how HRV tracking helps you know when to push and when to back off. He digs into whether carbon-plate race shoes are right for the paces most age-groupers actually run, why comfort and cushioning usually matter more than "free speed," and what to do when your only pool is 16 metres long. Plus a first-timer success story from Stephanie and Michael, who trained through Canadian winters and just finished IRONMAN Austria.
Topics in this episode:
- Seven-day vs eight-day training cycles for shift workers
- Using HRV to guide recovery (and why your feelings can lie to you)
- Getting meaningful swim work done in a tiny pool
- Carbon-plate vs cushioned shoes for 70.3 and full-distance IRONMAN
- A first-time IRONMAN success story from IRONMAN Austria

Success on IRONMAN race day is as much a fuelling equation as a fitness challenge.
This episode Coach Rob Wilby works through a batch of athlete questions on carbohydrate intake, hydration, electrolytes and bottle strategy, all framed by the recent heat spells that saw IRONMAN France cancelled, Frankfurt shortened and lots of other European races affected.
In this episode:
- Should carbs per hour be based on body weight? Why gut absorption matters more than size, the 1g per kilo starting point, where the ~100g/hr ceiling really sits, and the truth about those 150g pro fuelling stories.
- How hard to push carbs in training. The safe way to build tolerance and how to adjust intake in the heat.
- How much to drink on the bike and run. The 500–700ml/hr starting point, why sweat rates range from 300 to 1,500ml/hr, and how a sweat test plus good record-keeping in TrainingPeaks takes the guesswork out.
- Refilling bottles on course. Why you don't need to at branded IRONMAN aid stations, Rob's grab-and-cool technique, and how to carry concentrated PFH and dilute on the go for non-branded races.
- Separating carbs from electrolytes. The case for one concentrated carb bottle and one strong electrolyte bottle.
- Rob's Almere 2008 cautionary tale. Over-biking, not peeing, going hyponatremic, and coming round in the med tent with two IVs - the race that changed how he thinks about hydration for good.
Whether it's your first IRONMAN or 70.3 or you're fine-tuning a hot-race strategy, this one will help you cross the line feeling good rather than in the med tent.

How do you pick a race that actually suits your strengths, and training limitations? This week Coach Rob Wilby works through a batch of real athlete questions on race selection, build-up racing, taper week, and preparing for terrain you can't train on.
The theme running through all of it: plan these things before you hit "enter," and you save yourself a world of trouble on race day.
In this episode:
- Should you race a 70.3 before your autumn IRONMAN? The two ways to slot it in (as a full A/B race with enough time to recover and rebuild, or as a B race closer to IM that fits neatly into the plan.
- Is an Olympic worth doing before a 70.3? The value of race practice and the one mistake that turns a one-day recovery into a week of sore legs.
- What to actually do during race week. Volume, intensity and why freshness - not fitness - is your focus.
- Prepping for hilly IRONMAN Wales when you live somewhere flat. How to replicate climbing indoors with force and cadence work and the things that no amount of time on the trainer can prepare you for.
Whether you're planning your first IRONMAN or fine-tuning race selection for the season, this one will help you make good decisions well before raceday.

Race day success is as much a fuelling challenge as a fitness challenge. And in this episode Coach Rob Wilby answers athlete questions on getting your IRONMAN and 70.3 fuelling and hydration right.
From carb targets to sweat rates to the bottle setup that keeps you in control when it's brutally hot, this is your guide to practising it all long before race day.
In this episode:
- Should your carbs-per-hour be based on body weight? Why gut absorption matters more than size
- The 1g of carbs per kg of body weight starting point, and why ~100g/hr is the gold standard for most age-groupers
- How to train your gut: the +5g per hour, per week protocol
- Why you should back your carbs off by ~10% on race day, especially in the heat
- How much to drink on the bike and run, and why sweat rates can vary from as little as 300ml to as much as 1,500ml per hour
- The case for a sweat test to find your personal numbers
- Refilling bottles on course vs. carrying a concentrated mix
- Why you should separate your carbs and electrolytes into different bottles
- What you can learn from Rob's personal experience of dehydration, hyponatraemia and a finish-line collapse

How hard should you actually ride the IRONMAN bike leg? The answer is more nuanced than simply copying the pros. And getting it wrong often leads to a long walk in the marathon.
In this Q&A, Coach Rob Wilby breaks down the numbers behind smart bike pacing so you finish the bike with enough left to run well.
In this episode:
- Why your FTP percentage has to drop the longer you're on the bike (and why backwards-engineering a pro's 82% will blow your race apart)
- The TSS budget cap that holds true whether you ride 4:30 or 8:00 (plus theequivalent for 70.3). And why it only works if you're properly race-fit
- Normalised power vs. average power: how spiking out of corners and standing up short hills burns matches you need for the run.
- Why the first 60-90 minutes on the bike should feel like the easiest of the day
- Why you MUST do an outdoor FTP test and why it must be done in race position, in race kit, on a flat out-and-back.
- "My race-sim TSS came back way over 280, should I worry?"
- How to check your FTP setting and use Best Bike Split to model a realistic, run-friendly pace
- Gearing for hilly races: why going to a 36-tooth cassette (or even a 1:1 ratio) saves your legs - especially on hilly on courses like Wales.
- Why all IRONMAN bike courses aren't equal and how to make your long rides mirror your race day terrain, descents and corners included

There's one weekend in your IRONMAN or 70.3 build that matters more than any other. Most athletes either skip it, don't complete sessions in the right order, or turn it into the wrong kind of training weekend entirely.
In this episode, Coach Rob explains why the race simulation weekend is the single biggest factor that determines whether you get to race day confident or worried.
It's the weekend that takes the fear out of the unknown, exposes the mistakes you'd otherwise only discover on race day, and gives you the data you need to fix them while there's still time.
Rob walks through exactly how to structure the weekend's training, pacing targets, why this is a rehearsal and not a fitness test, and why athletes who skip it are often the ones most likely to have issues on race day.
If you're doing your first IRONMAN or 70.3 this year, it's so, so importnat that you have the correct race simulation weekends scheduled at the optimal time. This episode will walk you through exactly how to build it into your final training block.

Coach Rob answers your IRONMAN and 70.3 training questions - this week including how to structure the final 12 weeks of your build, what to do when a long run falls apart, and whether B races are worth it.
Joe from New York gets a full breakdown of his training week ahead of IRONMAN Lake Placid — including when to add brick sessions, how to build long ride and run distances, and the only two times Rob has athletes do back-to-back long ride/run weekends.
Sydney is four weeks out from her first 70.3 and hit a wall at mile 8 of a long run. Rob explains why this happens, why it's probably not a sign of overtraining, and the one recovery habit most self-coached athletes skip that makes all the difference.
If you've got a question for the podcast, email help@teamoxygenaddict.com — chances are thousands of other athletes are wondering the same thing.
Topics covered:
- Structuring the final 12 weeks of an IRONMAN build
- How to build long ride, long run, and long swim distances week by week
- When to add brick sessions and how long they should be
- Back-to-back ride/run weekends: when to do them and why Rob limits it to twice
- B races: if and when they make sense
- Why your long run fell apart, and what to check before you panic
- Recovery days and recovery weeks: the habit most self-coached athletes get wrong

This week Rob answers questions from athletes and listeners on three common IRONMAN training challenges
First up: what to do if swim cramps are forcing you out of the water. Rob covers the conditioning side, the electrolyte angle, and why supplementation made a real difference for him personally.
Then: normalised power vs average power on a hilly course like IRONMAN Wales — and why always riding to your NP number is the single most important thing you can do to protect your marathon.
Finally: how to structure the two weeks between back-to-back 70.3 races. Rob lays out exactly how to recover, when to reintroduce efforts, and why the second race is often the faster one.

If you’ve signed up for your first Ironman, you’ve probably had the same thought most athletes do:
Am I actually doing this right?
Am I training too hard… or not hard enough?
Are these sessions making me fitter… or just more tired?
Will any of this actually get me to the finish line?
In this episode, Coach Rob breaks down the 8 essential protocols he’s learned from coaching over a thousand first-time Ironman finishers. Simple, practical systems that remove the guesswork and make sure every session is doing its job.
Some of these you’ll recognise.
Some will feel unfamiliar.
A few will feel completely counterintuitive.
But these are the fundamentals that separate athletes who hope they’ll finish… from those who know they will.
Inside the episode:
- Why Ironman is a fuel-limited event (and how to train your gut properly)
- How to use HRV to avoid burnout, illness and overtraining
- The critical mistake most athletes make with FTP
- How to build your swim pacing intuition
- Why your race can fall apart without the right sodium & hydration strategy
- The run strategy that improves performance (not just survival)
- How to build a sustainable, powerful aero position
- The open water skills that prevent you from losing minutes before the bike even starts
If you’re a busy age-grouper trying to fit Ironman training around real life, this episode gives you a clear, proven framework—so you can stop second-guessing and start training with confidence.

This week:
-> How to handle training when bad weather makes outdoor riding impossible...
-> Why the 20-minute FTP test beats ramp tests every time...
-> How to structure an FTP block versus IRONMAN-specific training...

This week Coach Rob digs into listener emails, answering questions from athletes building toward their first Ironman.
He covers whether a single-sided power meter is enough...
Whether splitting your long run into two sessions is a good idea...
How offshore workers with limited pool access can still make progress in the swim.
Plus, Rob shares a real example of two athletes dropping 20 seconds per 100m in a single session through one targeted drill and explains why fitness alone won't make you faster in the water.
Along the way, he reflects on why the advice you take matters just as much as the training you do, and why longevity in the sport should always come before chasing marginal gains.
If you're a first-timer figuring it all out, this one's for you.

Most first-time Ironman athletes don’t fail because they’re lazy or under-prepared. They fail because they’re doing things that feel right but are actually sabotaging their prep.
In this episode, I break down 10 of the most common Ironman training mistakes I've seen first-timers make every single season.
You’ll learn:
- Whether you're training hard enough on the bike...
- What role run intervals have in Ironman training
- How swimming more can actually make you slower
- Why poor recovery leaves you undertrained, not overtrained
- The critical difference between indoor and outdoor FTP
- Why brick sessions are overused, overdone, and misunderstood
- Why walking is a performance strategy in IRONMAN, not a failure
- How your open-water capabilities can undo all gains you've made in the pool
- How failing to train your gut guarantees race-day fueling problems
- And whether you should be racing a marathon ahead of your Ironman
If you’re training for your first Ironman and want confidence that your effort will actually translate into a strong race-day performance, this episode will save you months of frustration, and possibly your Ironman finish.

In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast, Coach Rob continues the Six Months to Ironman series with what may be the most important (and most misunderstood) principle in Ironman training.
Recovery.
Most athletes believe fitness is built by doing more. More sessions. More intensity. More volume.
And this scuppers so many Ironman performances.
You’ll learn:
- Why fitness adaptations happen during recovery, not training
- How poor recovery suppresses immunity, motivation, and performance
- What a proper recovery week actually looks like (and why most people get it wrong)
- How illness, fatigue, and burnout are often self-inflicted through overtraining
- Why resting when you want to train most is a hallmark of a mature Ironman athlete
- How to structure recovery so you arrive at race day feeling strong, fresh, and ready
Rob also shares real-world coaching insights from working with hundreds of Ironman and 70.3 athletes, including why winter illness spikes are often a red flag for excessive training stress.
This episode is essential listening if:
- You’re training for your first Ironman or 70.3
- You constantly feel tired, run-down, or “flat” in training
- You struggle emotionally with rest days or recovery weeks
- You want to maximise results without increasing training hours

If you’re coming into triathlon from running or cycling, you’ve probably assumed swimming works the same way:
The more you swim, the faster you get.
Nope!
In this episode of our Six Months to Ironman series, Coach Rob explains why most age-group triathletes are not fitness-limited in the water, they’re technique-limited… and why that’s actually good news, because it means you can make big gains without adding endless extra swim volume.
This episode is aimed at the adult-onset swimmer: the busy Ironman or 70.3 athlete who feels like their aerobic fitness from the bike & run doesn’t translate in the pool, and how to fix that.
We cover:
- Why swimming is more analogous to gold or tennis than running or biking
- The “more swimming” trap that keeps slower swimmers stuck and embeds bad habits
- A useful benchmark: why ~7:00 per 400m is often the point where technique becomes the biggest lever
- How to build endurance without letting fatigue wreck your stroke
- How to identify your single biggest limiter with simple cues
- The order to fix your swim: breathing → balance → propulsion
-
Simple, high-impact drills including:
- Sink-downs + “bubble” exhale for breathing
- Fist drill for catch and feel of the water
- The “Waltz / Unco drill” to connect rotation, hips, and propulsion
This episode will help swimming stop being the IRONMAN discipline you dread, and help turn it into one of your main strengths in a matter of months!

Most Ironman athletes don’t fail in the marathon because they’re bad runners. They fail because they misunderstand what the Ironman run actually is.
In this episode of our Six Months to Ironman series, Coach Rob breaks down exactly how to train to run well at the end of an Ironman, based on 15+ years of IRONMAN coaching experience and hundreds, if not thousands of successful first-time finishers.
This is not about getting faster at 5K or 10K. It’s about fatigue resistance, durability, and delivering a strong marathon after a long swim and bike.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why Ironman running is endurance-limited, not speed-limited
- Why great standalone runners often struggle badly off the bike
- The single biggest mistake age-groupers make with long runs
- Why traditional “Sunday long runs” can sabotage your Ironman build
- How the 9 / 1 run-walk strategy improves performance (and isn’t a beginner tactic)
- How to pace your long runs properly using easy pace, not marathon pace
- Why running slower in training actually leads to a faster Ironman marathon
- How to structure your week so run training doesn’t wreck your bike and recovery
- The mindset shift that allows you to run strongly in the final 10K while others fall apart
If your goal is to finish your Ironman marathon feeling strong, controlled, and still running while the field around you is reduced to walking, this episode will completely change how you view run training.

In this episode Coach Rob continues the Six Months to Ironman series by breaking down exactly how to structure your bike training for Ironman and 70.3 racing over the next 6 months.
If you’re a busy age-group athlete with limited training time, this episode will help you stop wasting hours on the bike and start building bike fitness that translates to raceday speed on the bike - and on the run.
The bike leg dominates Ironman racing. Get it right, and you set yourself up for a great run. Get it wrong, and the race unravels fast. In this episode, Rob explains how to train the bike intelligently, not just harder.
- Why the bike leg should dominate your Ironman training — not the run
- The fitness halo effect from bike fitness to run performance (and why it doesn’t work the other way round)
- Why cycling lets you build aerobic fitness without the injury and soreness risk of hard running
- How to structure the perfect Ironman bike week with just three rides
-
The two key phases of bike training:
- Building engine size (FTP)
- Converting that fitness into Ironman-specific endurance
- How hard your long rides should actually be (and why “a bit too hard” quietly ruins endurance gains)
- Simple, practical markers for Zone 2 riding using feel, heart rate, and power
- Strength endurance (big gear) sessions: who they’re for and how to do them safely
- Aerobic conditioning / sweet spot intervals for Ironman athletes
- When indoor training beats outdoor riding — and when it doesn’t
- why bike discipline on race day (power control, fuelling, hydration, and ego management) is often the difference between running well off the bike and detonating halfway through the marathon.

In this episode, you'll learn:
- The golden rule of Ironman week design - why protecting tomorrow matters more than smashing today)
- The four key sessions you must protect every week when life gets busy
- How smart session placement can reduce injury risk and improve performance
- Why more training isn’t better if you can’t absorb and recover from it
- How to use a weekly recovery day properly (and why it’s the most important day of the week)
- What to do when you miss a session
- Why Ironman race pace almost always feels too easy in training
- How planned walk breaks make you a stronger long-course runner, not a weaker one
- How to use indoor platforms like Zwift without sabotaging your long rides
- The discipline of finishing most weeks thinking: “I could have done more”
Whether you’re training for your first Ironman, your first 70.3, or you simply want a smarter, more sustainable way to train alongside a full-time job and family life, this episode will help you build a week that actually works.

If you've just realised your Ironman or 70.3 is just six months away, and don't feel like you have any sort of plan - let alone feel in any way prepared … don’t panic.
In this episode, Coach Rob breaks down exactly how to plan your next six months so you can make the big fitness gains needed without having to put the rest of your life on the back-burner.
Whether you’re a first-timer or returning IRONMAN looking to better a past performance, this simple, repeatable structure will show you how to use your limited training time as effectively as possible.
You’ll learn:
- Why six months is plenty of time - if you train smart
- How to build an achievable weekly training structure that actually fits around real life
- Why “complete well” beats “race hard” for 90% of age-groupers
- The key principle that prevents injuries and burnout (and guarantees consistency)
- How to progress your long ride and long run safely every week
- The role of race-simulation weekends
- Why bike fitness is the foundation of your entire Ironman
- The run-walk method that protects you from niggles and enables you to run for longer, without compromising your run-specific fitness
- How to approach swim training when technique is your biggest limiter
- What to do when illness or life inevitably interrupts your plan
If you want a clear, confidence-boosting roadmap to get you from now to race day, this episode will give you everything you need to build your own Ironman or 70.3 training plan.

- This week, Coach Rob talks with Team Oxygenaddict athlete Michael Mann, a first-time Ironman finisher at Ironman Barcelona 2025.
- Michael works offshore on ships, typically four weeks at sea, four weeks at home.
Learn how he: - * Successfully trained for Ironman around such a demanding schedule * How he built fitness withminimal equipment, and long gaps between sessions. - * Maximised his consistency in winter before his offshore rotations began. * Adapted training at sea: using a turbo trainer in rough conditions, short runs in port, and prioritising key sessions. * Developed fueling and pacing strategies that helped him ride and run within himself on race day. * Stayed calm during preparation and raceday, and why that mattered more than perfect training.

This week's episode is a rerun of Episode 511 - the incredible journey of Team Oxygenaddict's Allun Sutherland who went from complete beginner to Ironman Wales finisher in less than 12 months.
This is genuinely one of, if not the most incredible, inspirational age-group stories we've ever had.
Alan started with no experience - literally unable to swim, didn't own a bike, and couldn't run for more than a couple of minutes without needing to stop and rest.
But in less than 12 months, through patience, determination, and trusting the training process, he was able to confidently deal with everything the day threw at him - including rough sea conditions, jellyfish, and bad weather.
Hear Allun's firsthand account of the training process and progression of a complete beginner, mastering race-day strategies, dealing with injuries, and the importance of mental resilience.
If you're new to triathlon and have your sights set on one day tackling Ironman, you'll want to tune in to hear Alan’s remarkable journey from a complete novice to an Ironman finisher at one of the toughest Ironman races in the world.
A testament to what you can achieve with the right mindset!

Rob also discusses the interpretation of those results - i.e. what they mean in real terms as you head into your spring / race prep training block, and how the emphasis of training and testing shifts focus with most of the winter training block behind you.
He also touches on the necessity of continuing structured training into the race season, ways to measure endurance progress, and how to handle external factors that might affect test results.

In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Podcast, Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman conduct an in-depth review of the first winter training block.
This episode is essential for understanding the progress made over the last eight weeks and planning ahead for continued improvement in your Ironman training.
You'll hear a comprehensive review on:
- Training Session Completion: Analyzing how many of the planned sessions were completed and what your Race Ready score was over the past 8 weeks.
- Pattern Learning: Understanding what training patterns worked, what didn’t, and factors like time of day, pre-planning the week, and how these affected your training.
- Injury Analysis: Discussing any injuries or niggles, identifying their potential causes, and the importance of maintaining commitments to physiotherapy if injured.
- The Power of Journaling: Exploring the benefits of journaling to identify causal links between external stresses (like travel, work stress, social commitments, late nights, and increased alcohol intake) and their impacts on session performance, illnesses, and injuries.
- Expected Improvements After 8 Weeks: Discussing the range of improvements you can expect, such as a 5-10% increase in FTP test, a 15-30s improvement over 400m in CSS test, and a 4-8s per km increase in M-pace for the run test.
- General Test Result Advice: Reminding listeners that test results are for establishing accurate training baselines and not for bragging rights. Emphasizing that swim progress may not be linear and advising on how to approach run progress and reset paces, possibly through a 5k or 10k race.
This episode is designed to help you reflect on your training, understand the progress you've made, and set the stage for the next phase of your Ironman journey.

In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Podcast, we're focusing on how to spend the crucial Christmas week in a way that sets you up for a healthy and recovered start to the New Year.
Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman discuss the SEEDS approach: Sleep, Eating, Exercise, Drinking, and Stress management, taking inspiration from the work of Dr. Simon Marshall.
You'll hear tips on:
- Sleep: Improving sleep habits, like reducing screen time before bed, adding an extra 30 minutes of sleep per night, using sleep monitoring tools, avoiding eating close to bedtime, and including daily exercise to enhance sleep quality.
- Eating: Nutrition and meal planning tips that balance healthy choices with the enjoyment of holiday treats. Learn how treats don’t always have to be chocolate and how to plan Christmas salads that are both nutritious and festive.
- Exercise: Keeping active during the holidays but not making training the priority. Explore alternatives like strength and conditioning, yoga, and flexibility exercises. Understand why it's okay if pools are closed during this period.
- Drinking: Guidance on limiting alcohol intake and maintaining hydration.
- Stress Management: Techniques for managing stress through time outdoors, walking in nature, meditation, journaling, and using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracking to monitor stress levels.
This episode is designed to help you navigate the holiday season with a focus on health and recovery, ensuring you're ready to kick off the new year in the best shape possible for your Ironman training.

Do you know how to breathe when you're swimming freestyle? If you've never really given it much thought, chances are you're not breathing properly.If you tend to hold your breath underwater and quickly exhale just before taking another breath, resulting in that feeling of being short of breath and always playing catchup, fighting with your stroke to make it to the next breath, then this video is for you.If you have a tendency for your legs to sink, it may surprise you to find out that this is probably related to how you breathe.Getting your breathing technique right always has a huge impact on an athlete's swim technique and efficiency. There's A LOT of time to be saved for most people, simply by addressing how and when you breathe during your swim.And in this video we walk you through it all in detail, leaving you with a couple of simple but extremely effective things to incorporate into your next swim session.

In this episode, learn two simple tricks to add extra power to your swim stroke.
Move further, faster through the water with each stroke by generating more propulsion with greater efficiency.
The drills that will do this are 1) the "water bottle" drill (which works really effectively in combination with the fist drill I discussed in the last episode: https://youtu.be/zLJekigBg6A)...
And 2) the triceps push drill to enhance your stroke completion, enabling you to travel a greater distance per stroke thanks to the additional propulsion.
It's not uncommon for athletes to see an improvement of upto 10 seconds per 100m almost instantly after incorporating these 2 aspects into their swimming.
Of course it takes time and practice to embed stroke improvements into your swim technique over the long term, but seeing quick results like this really help keep you motivated to practice!
If your CSS pace is in the region of 1:30/100m or slower, you really don't want to miss this as there's a very good chance there's a significant yet simple time saving to be had for you.

We hear about the build up to the race, her race day strategy, including her nutrition and hydration approach, and get inside her mindset as she runs side by side with a great rival. We also hear about how she bounced back from the disappointment of a race earlier in the year that didn’t go as well as she had hoped - and find out what we can all learn when we treat a situation that might initially appear as a ‘failure’, and learn the lessons from it.

Brick runs are a hot-topic among most triathletes. There's an assumption that you need to be running for a long time and / or at a high intensity once you're off the bike in a training ride.
Not only is that not necessary, but it's most likely putting you at a hugely increased risk of injury for no added training benefit.
But more importantly - it completely misses the most important aspect of the brick run.
In this video I talk you through the exact, proven brick run training protocol we prescribe for our athletes and how to incorporate it into your own training.
Frequency, pace, intensity, duration - I'll walk you through it all to ensure you're as prepared as possible to run off the bike in your IRONMAN or 70.3.

Do you know how much fluid you lose through sweating in an hour? How about the amount of sodium?
Sweat rates and concentration can vary hugely - from 300ml per hour to 1500ml per hour. And 200mg of sodium to 1500mg+ per hour.
Not knowing how much liquid, and what strength of electrolytes to be consuming while you're racing puts you at a very real risk of - at best underperforming, at worst a trip to the medical tent.
Why risk hundreds of hours of training for something that can be taken care of relatively easily?
Andy Blow, founder of Precison Fuel & Hydration talks us through the importance of correct, personalised hydration specifically for IRONMAN athletes.
PF&H are the new hydration partners for IRONMAN Europe, and will be providing on-course hydration at all European IRONMAN events throughout 2024.

In this video we talk through ways that you can swim faster in open water without necessarily having to improve your swim fitness.
Many triathletes struggle to translate their pool speed and improvements into the open water.
There are lots of different variables to consider when it comes to open water swimming vs pool swimming.
From ensuring your wetsuit helps rather than hinders your body position in the water ...
...to your ability to sight well and swim in a straight line...
...to learning how to draft effectively off of other swimmers' feet.
I also explain our top tips for drills to practice in the pool that will help get you "open water ready". Covering everything from breathing exercises to body position to maximising the power and effectiveness of your catch and pull.
I'm sure after watching this video you'll feel much better equipped as you venture into the open water for the first time in a while, and will be ready to translate those hard-earned speed gains from the pool!

Did you know almost everybody's power numbers are different outdoors when compared to indoors?
Often there's as much as a 5-10% difference, with the more "favourable" numbers from training indoors.
I've spoken to dozens - probably hundreds - of IRONMAN athletes who assumed their indoor power numbers were directly transferable to outdoor riding, resulting in them riding at too high an intensity during their bike leg, and REALLY suffering on the run as a result.
Thankfully there's a relatively straightforward way in training, to avoid this catastrophic mistake on raceday and in this video, I walk you through the what, why, how and when.

The "more is better" mentality is very common amongst triathletes, but often causes more problems than it solves.
If you've ever experienced the feeling of overwhelming fatigue, and "easy" training sessions feeling anything but easy, you're most likely a victim of overtraining. This video is a must watch for you!
We dive into the importance of recovery - the most overlooked and valuable aspect of a triathlete's training program, and why you simply won't make the performance gains you're capable of if you don't plan and allow yourself adequate recovery time.
We also explain how measuring your HRV (heart rate variability) helps ensure your training is focused only on what your body is capable of absorbing, and the dangers of trying to fight the signals your body is sending you.
And finally - the dreaded "GREY ZONE" of training - avoid this at all costs!

Fuelling (hydration, electrolytes & nutrition) can so easily derail your performance on race day, even if you're in the shape of your life.
In fact for many age-group triathletes, it's an afterthought. So many people jeopardise the hundreds of hours of training they've completed by not taking care of fluid and calorie needs on race day.
Do you know your sweat rate? The amount and concentration of sweat you typically lose per hour? And how it varies in different conditions? Or how many calories & carbs you need in order to fuel yourself effectively? And can you actually absorb the amount you need without ending up in the portaloo queue?
I talk about all these things and more in this video. If you're an age-group triathlete who wants their race performance to be a great reflection of your capabilities and dedication to training, this is a MUST WATCH

Sports scientists Andy Blow and Emily Arrell join us from Precision Fuel and Hydration to help age group athletes understand the three key levers of performance: Hydration, Electrolytes and Fueling.
PFH have built up a bank of over 200 case studies of professional athletes competing at Ironman and 70.3 events, logging their carbohydrate, electrolyte and hydration intakes.
This bank of information is fully searchable on their website, so athletes can search for events and conditions like theirs to use as a starting point for planning their own fuel and hydration planning.
They help answer the following questions:
- Why do you need electrolytes?
- What are the recommendations for athletes who haven’t had a sweat test?
- Should age groupers be trying to increase their carbohydrate intake, and if so, how should they go about it?
- Are there any potential pitfalls?
- What trends did they see in elite triathletes, and what can we take away from that?
- Leon Chevalier’s progression across a two year period.

In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Podcast, Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman conduct an in-depth review of the first winter training block.
This episode is essential for understanding the progress made over the last eight weeks and planning ahead for continued improvement in your Ironman training.
You'll hear a comprehensive review on:
- Training Session Completion: Analyzing how many of the planned sessions were completed and what your Race Ready score was over the past 8 weeks.
- Pattern Learning: Understanding what training patterns worked, what didn’t, and factors like time of day, pre-planning the week, and how these affected your training.
- Injury Analysis: Discussing any injuries or niggles, identifying their potential causes, and the importance of maintaining commitments to physiotherapy if injured.
- The Power of Journaling: Exploring the benefits of journaling to identify causal links between external stresses (like travel, work stress, social commitments, late nights, and increased alcohol intake) and their impacts on session performance, illnesses, and injuries.
- Expected Improvements After 8 Weeks: Discussing the range of improvements you can expect, such as a 5-10% increase in FTP test, a 15-30s improvement over 400m in CSS test, and a 4-8s per km increase in M-pace for the run test.
- General Test Result Advice: Reminding listeners that test results are for establishing accurate training baselines and not for bragging rights. Emphasizing that swim progress may not be linear and advising on how to approach run progress and reset paces, possibly through a 5k or 10k race.
This episode is designed to help you reflect on your training, understand the progress you've made, and set the stage for the next phase of your Ironman journey.

Coaches Rob & Chris chat through some of the most common myths they hear from athletes about their triathlon training.
By hearing 9 "triathlon myths" debunked, you'll be MUCH better equipped to improve your swimming, biking & running in the most efficient, effective way possible.
Including:
- Why swimming more WON'T necessarily make you FASTER (and how to train to ACTUALLY become a faster swimmer)...
- Why FAST RUNNING is the WORST thing a middle / long distance triathlete can do...
- Why easy running IS NOT junk miles...
- Why long, slow winter miles simply aren't necessarily...
- Why MENTAL strength is important but not at the expense of PHYSICAL strength...
- Why "no days with zero training" is a TERRIBLE idea (and the DIRE consequences of overlooking recovery)...
- Why fasted training DOES NOT promote fat burning (and may well be doing more harm than good)...
- Why you need to focus on much more than JUST POWER to achieve a faster bike split...
- Why achieving a faster run split IS NOT about being a faster runner (and why your bike performance is usually to blame for poor run splits)

In this week's episode, Coach Rob provides an invaluable step-by-step walkthrough of how, why and when to test your bike power, swim speed and run fitness throughout the year.
👉 Why accuracy in testing & results is the ONLY important consideration
👉 Why making excuses for your test results and assuming you "are capable of more" is a sure-fire way to limit your potential progress
👉 How to use test results to determine optimal training intensity and avoid overtraining, injury & junk miles
👉 Why the FTP test should be completed in the position you're going to train and race in
👉 The importance of recognising the risk factors and exponential cost of training above 100% of FTP
👉 The CSS testing protocol for swimming, what the results mean and how to use them
👉 Why sub-maximal run tests provide the best of both worlds - clear progression of run fitness, without the risk of injury
👉 Why running a short, fast race (5km, 10km) may feel good but is at best irrelevant, at worst very risky for middle and long distance triathlon training
👉 The optimal frequency for repeating your testing protocols

Coach Rob gives 10 rapid-fire tips to help ensure you see an increase in your bike power, run speed and swim technique & efficiency.
Including:
👉 The critical mistake of training like a swimmer, biker & runner INSTEAD of as a TRIATHLETE, and how to avoid it...

👉 Why durability and NOT SPEED is the key to a succsesful run at 70.3 or Ironman, and how to reflect that in your training...
👉 Why swimming SLOWER is the key to becoming a FASTER swimmer...

This episode will really help anyone who suffers from swim anxiety, as Pete talks about the strategies he developed with Coach Chris to help move him from someone who was too anxious to even get into the swimming pool at the start of the year, to someone who confidently completed the swim in open water at Ironman UK, despite the difficult weather conditions on the day making the swim extremely difficult.
Oh, and Pete qualified for the IRONMAN World Champs in Nice as a result!

This week, we bring you the story of age grouper Emma Yates as she battled for the win at Ironman Wales. We hear about the build up to the race, her race day strategy, including her nutrition and hydration approach, and get inside her mindset as she runs side by side with a great rival. We also hear about how she bounced back from the disappointment of a race earlier in the year that didn’t go as well as she had hoped - and find out what we can all learn when we treat a situation that might initially appear as a ‘failure’, and learn the lessons from it.SponsorsLike what you heard in this interview?

A special edition of the show, helping you to work out your optimal fuelling strategy for Ironman, 70.3, Olympic and sprint distance triathlon, as well as running and cycling endurance events. We cover the science of calorie intake, electrolyte intake, and fluid intake, as well as some personal experience and stories from the endurance world, to help you work out the best plan for you. This is a conversation with Andy Blow, ex-pro triathlete, from Precision Hydration.
Here are some key reading points, and links to various calculators and blog posts mentioned in the show.
The 3 Levers for fueling endurance performance
The 3 Levers for fueling endurance performance - This could be a good starting point as Andy outlines the 3 acute costs of taking part in endurance exercise for an athlete, namely calories burned (mainly in the form of carbohydrate), sodium and fluid.
The way to learn how to ‘pull the levers’ correctly is to understand the ballpark levels of replacement that are usually needed for each one. You can further refine these levels on the basis of your own deeper knowledge of your personal requirements.
Know Your Numbers
How much carbohydrate do athletes need to perform at their best?
This blog helps athletes 'Know Their Numbers' and pull the 'carb' lever correctly by helping them understand how much carb they should be aiming to consume per hour for their activity and for the duration they're performing.
And we've created a Quick Carb Calculator for athletes to take so that they can hit those numbers during training and races
Once an athlete Knows Their Numbers, they'll need to consider how they're going to get those carbs on board and which energy products are right for them - will they use real food, gels, chews, isotonic drinks, bars? The decision on the best forms of carbs for them will come down to personal preferences and will require some trial and error during training.

This week we have a brilliant special edition of the Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast with Dr Anton Krige, discussing the FIVE PERFORMANCE KILLERS that affect endurance athletes, how to identify them and what to do about them. .
He gives a fascinating insight into the biggest, often unknown & unrecognised factors that affect athlete performance and health. .
You'll hear:
.
👉 Why sleep is just as, if not more important a focus as nutrition & diet
.
👉 How poor quality and / or low quantity of sleep affects everything from blood sugar levels to cortisol production to reducing your body's adaption to training that day (i.e. negating the benefits of your training)
.
👉 How simple behavioural changes (such as tracking sleep and getting 15 minutes of sunlight exposure per day) can have a HUGE impact on your health and athletic performance
.
👉 The scientific conscensus regarding a healthy diet, even though everybody's biochemistry is different, and the risks of cherry picked, often contradictory nutrition & dietary information available (which has been in the spotlight due to various high profile documentaries recently)
.
👉 Why athletes need a greater intake of protein (1.5-2g per kg of bodyweight per day), why the timing and how spread out this is throughout the day is crucial
.
👉The difference in how we absorb vitamins & minerals from animal products vs plants, and the importance of focusing on absorption rather than consumption
.
👉 The importance of Vitamin B12 and the risk of permanent, irreversible nerve damage as a result of long-term deficiencies (and why B12 supplements in tablet form are virtually useless)
.
👉 Why Vitamin D requires activation from sunlight to be effective; the evidence that indicates higher levels of vitamin D amongst endurance athletes helps reduce infections over winter; and the need to combine Vitamin D with Vitamin K2.
.
👉 Why addressing the symptoms of issues such as low testosterone levels is the wrong approach, and why identifying the root cause (often one of more of the 5 performance killers) is required.
.
👉 How this affected Coach Rob and impacted his health

My swim times aren’t getting any faster - how do I deal with plateaus in my performance?

How should I use Pull buoys?
When should I move to swimming in Open Water vs pool swimming
Do I need to do lots of kicking drills?
Should I use Fins?
Should I swim with 3 stroke breathing? I had a lesson and the teacher said I should be aiming for 5 or 7 stroke breathing.
Should I make my swim endurance intervals longer than 100m?
My ankles are really stiff and mean I can’t do kick drills - I literally go backwards ! What shall I do?
How do I overcome the fear of swimming in open water?

How do you train to improve your swimming for Ironman triathlon?
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why learning to be calm and efficient is more important that getting fast
Why runners and cyclists often struggle to translate aerobic fitness into swim speed - and what to do about it
Breathing techniques and practices to help you stay calm and relaxed in the water
Why you should learn to breathe bilaterally
The importance of breathing out, fully, into the water
Why a strong push-and-glide off the wall can be really helpful in learning to breathe more effectively
The kind of swim progression that you can expect to have in a six month, one year and three year time frame.
The difference between ‘training to be faster’ and ‘training to be more efficient.’

This week we interview Ian Smith, who recently completed Ironman New Zealand - knocking over an hour off his previous Ironman best, despite now being, in his words, ‘the other side of 50.’
Ian has dedicated himself to his training over the last two years with Team Oxygenaddict, but has also paid a lot of attention to his family-work-training-life balance. Having moved to Australia for a more outdoor life, he’s embraced early morning training to beat the heat of the day, and has learned to love open water swimming, despite his encounters with sharks!

Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman talk you through everything you need to know about the six months of training leading up to your Ironman.
They cover:
The structure of your basic week of training - frequency, intensity and duration of swims, bikes and runs.
The benefits of focusing on swim technique over endurance and distance, especially in the early weeks of your training
Safely increasing the duration of your long endurance swim, bikes and runs.
Strategies to help you avoid overtraining, illness, injury and burnout
How to change the way you approach your long run, so that you’re never sore the day after a long run again!
How and when to incorporate brick runs into your training - it’s not what you might think!
Why you SHOULDN’T complete your long run the day after your long ride - and the one exception to that rule
How to safely approach strength and conditioning in a way that compliments your swim, bike and run training
Daily nutrition approaches, ‘within session’ sports nutrition strategies, electrolyte and hydration guidelines.
We also have the first instalment of “Age Group Diary”, following athlete Julie Howe on her six month journey to Ironman UK.

Sam Laidlow lead for most of the race at his Kona debut, eventually finishing 2nd to Gustav Iden. He surprised many by obliterating the Kona bike course record and splitting the Norwegian favourites of Iden & Blummenfelt on the day. On his return to the Oxygenaddict Podcast, we talk about:
How he burst onto the Iron-distance scene at Lakesman in 2019...
What he learned from upsetting Sam Long at the Collins Cup...
The race strategy & tactics at the front of the race in Kona...
His power numbers during the bike leg and why he thought he'd gone too hard too soon...
Why he plans to exit the water with a several minute lead at the next World Champs...
The innovations and equipment decisions that helped him to his Kona result...
The importance of building a personal brand as a professional athlete and why it's not all about race results...
Why he'd prefer people to hate him than be indifferent about him...
Smashing the Kona bike course record without a bike sponsor(!)...
Whether he believes he can beat Gustav in future World Champs...

Chris McCormack is a man who moved seamlessly between his life as a professional triathlete (2x Kona Champion, multiple World Champion) and his new business career. As the man behind SuperLeague Triathlon, he has been pivotal in helping ‘professionalise’ the sport of triathlon, giving athletes chance to race (and make money) from short course racing outside of a traditional governing body route. It’s a series that turned triathlon into a more spectator friendly format and made short racing exciting for the general public. As one of the founders of the Pho3nix Foundation, he’s helping fund hundreds of children and young athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds to be able to achieve their potential in Olympic sport. More than that, Macca is one of the biggest fans of triathlon, and one of it’s big thinkers, and we hear his views on where he sees triathlon going next, we review the 2022 triathlon year, and talk about who will be the names to watch in 2023.

Joining us on the show this week is the CEO of the Ironman Group, Andrew Messick. Ironman announced late last week that there would be NO two day World Championships in Hawaii in 2023, and that instead, the event will be a split location event. What was the behind the scenes reality that athletes don't yet understand? When can we expect confirmation of the location and date of the men’s event? Is there a possibility of the race moving from Kona in the future?
We put all these questions to the CEO - listen in to hear what he has to say.

Dr. Karim Hammad recently competed at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St. George. A busy doctor, he’s had to learn to balance his desire to train against the realities of his job: 12 hour on-call shifts, night shifts and the challenges of unpredictable work load and lack of routine. His story involves a lot of acceptance of needing to train around ‘the way things are’ rather than ‘the way we would ideally like things to be’, and his success qualifying for the World Championships underlines the importance for all of us of putting recovery, and health, first.

From the Archives: Dave Scott
Dave Scott is already well known for his achievements - 6 time winner of Ironman Hawaii between 1980 and 1987, successful coach to champion athletes like Chrissie Wellington, Craig Alexander, Tim Don and Julie Dibens.
What is less well known is his ongoing battle with depression that has, at times, left him unable to get off the couch. Dave is open and honest about the challenges he’s faced - how, despite the World regarding him as ‘The Man’, and his countless race successes, striving for perfection and falling short often left him feeling worthless. And he also shares about how, with time, he’s come to see things differently, how his children have helped him, and how, in turn, he’s managed to help other highly driven and obsessive athletes find a little more balance - as well as World Championship victories.
We also hear Dave’s thoughts on the efforts of the PTO and their aim of making the sport more professional.

What’s it really like to race in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii?
This week is the Kona Race Week Special. Coach Rob is joined by Coach Chris, to talk about the athlete experience in Kona. Chris raced there in 2019 at the last Ironman World Championships, so we hear all about his experience as an athlete. We also talk about the ways that an athlete can best prepare themselves for the heat and humidity of racing in Kona, and the steps that our Team Oxygenaddict athletes have taken in training to prepare themselves for race day. They also discuss the pro races, and you’ll hear both Rob and Chris’ picks for the podium in both races!

This week we have an Age Group Special. John Fellows completed the Outlaw full distance race this summer, fulfilling a life long dream to complete a full Iron distance race. Along the way, he lost over 28 pounds in weight! After three attempts to complete a 70.3 on his own, he joined Team Oxygenaddict in November and hasn’t looked back. His simple but very effective goal setting process, and dedication to avoiding injury, were integral parts of his road to success completing his ‘life changing’ finish at Outlaw Full this summer!

Age Group Story: Laura Wilson tells us about her first Iron distance event at the Lakesman. She smashed her goal of 13.30 by nearly an hour and a half, winning her age group and finishing 7th woman overall, but that only tells part of the story. She kept herself process focused and ‘in the moment’ through the whole event, and is a great example of how focusing on ‘what matters right now’ can really help you create a performance better than you ever imagined was possible.

Ever wondered what it takes to go from not being able to swim at all - to qualifying for Kona ? This week’s interview with Chris Palfreyman will help you understand the reality. We met Chris on our recent French training camp and immediately loved the guy. He has a great story that I think will resonate with so many of our listeners - what does it take to get to Kona, starting from zero? Chris did the work and managed to qualify - but as in so many stories, it was what he learned along the way that was the real reward, rather than actually getting to race in Kona. We’ve invited Chris to join the coaching team at Team Oxygenaddict where he’ll be running our new High Performance Program. If you’re interested, and like what you hear, get in touch!

Racing in the heat this summer?
Dr. Dan Plews PhD won the overall age group Ironman World Championships in Kona in 2018, and broke the course record with the staggering time of 8.24.36. He finished off with a 2.50.56 marathon - the fifth fastest run OVERALL on the day! There’s no one better placed to help you understand how to effectively manage your race on a very hot day.
In this interview, you'll hear:
Details of how the race played out for Dan
How swimming sub 55 minutes in Kona , he still got onto the bike course surrounded by athletes
Details of his bike power numbers, including the difference between his outward leg and return leg
His approach to pacing on the run, especially in the heat, and how he made use of the headwinds to form an effective cooling strategy
Why he doesn't believe that training should ever feel like a sacrifice
How even the reigning World Age Group champion still suffers from the post Ironman blues!

Bill Anderson is a 4 year veteran of Team Oxygenaddict and recently took part in his first Iron distance race, The Lakesman. He smashed his pre race goal of going sub 13 hours, by recording 12.23 - almost 40 minutes faster than he’d hoped! A busy father of two, Bill fit his training in around work and family life - but still carved out the time to achieve his dream finish at Lakesman!

Emma Yates recently finished a fantastic 8th place at the Ironman World Championships in St. George. We catch up with Emma to hear her story, from learning how to swim in 2016 after being inspired by meeting some Ironman competitors during a charity bike ride, to completing her first Ironman in 2018, through to joining us at Team Oxygenaddict at the back end of 2020 in her quest to qualify for Kona. A busy professional and mum of three, if you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to get to the Ironman World Championships as a working, family oriented age grouper - this interview is for you!

Matt Bottrill is one of the UK’s most successful time trialists, and has gone on to become a highly sought after coach, bike fitter and bike aerodynamics specialist.

Simon Maguire is an Age Grouper and has been a member of Team Oxygenaddict for the last two years. He’s been on an amazing, transformational journey in that time: he’s lost over 85 pounds in weight, and recently completed a self supported Ironman in memory of his Mum, who sadly passed away from cancer 25 years earlier. Along the way, he’s overcome a reliance on alcohol and painkillers that had become problematic for him, and has completely turned his life around. Simon’s journey, and the event itself, has been a massive inspiration for our Team members over the last 2 years, and I’m so proud we can share his success story with the World!

This week, we have a Dave Scott interview from the archive, to talk strength and conditioning for triathletes!
We cover:
The kinds of S and C work Dave has done across his career, and how he feels it's helped him.
The kinds of S and C work Dave has his Age Group athletes do - bodyweight exercises, weight training, pilates/yoga, and how that changes across a season. We also talk variations for winter/off season work, pre season work, and race season / maintenance work.
He also talks about alternatives to swimming while pools are closed - band work, specific S and C, and swim cords that athletes can be getting on with until pools return to normal.
Sign up for Dave’s free fortnightly newsletter covering a wide range of topics by visiting https://davescottinc.com/
Additionally, you can also ask questions directly to Dave by going to https://davescottinc.com/

Jan Sibbersen broke the Kona swim record in 2018, recording an incredible 46.29. This is made all the more remarkable given that he was 43 years old and it was nearly 20 years since he’d retired as a professional triathlete!
We hear the full story of Jan’s life, from his beginnings as an Olympic swimming hopeful, his quest to break the Kona swim record in the early 2000’s, his move into business with starting Sailfish Wetsuits, and then managing Patrick Lange, and finally, the culmination of his dream - could he make a comeback, and swim faster than ever, nearly 20 years after his competitive career had ended?

Richard Murray has had one of the most decorated triathlon careers - double World Junior duathlon champion, double African Triathlon champion, multiple ITU World Series event winner, Commonwealth Games Bronze medalist, and 4th place at the Olympic games in 2016.
However, 8 weeks before the 2020 Olympics (in summer 2021), things changed in an instant for Richard during a swim session where he could feel things were not right, with his heart racing and beating erratically during his warm up. He was taken immediately to hospital and subsequently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, a condition where the heart loses it’s ability to regulate how fast it beats. He underwent heart surgery in an attempt to cure the condition and be ready in time for the Olympics. This is Richard’s story, in his own words for the first time, of recovering from cardiac care and his return to health and racing.

Pip Paxman took up triathlon as a way to get her sporting fix after leaving university and missing netball and hockey. Despite feeling like an imposter, she quickly found that she had natural talent at swim, bike and run, and qualified to represent GB in her first olympic distance triathlon. Despite the challenges of the pandemic meaning her events were put back 18 months, she completed her first 70.3 at Portugal at the end of 2021 and qualified for the 70.3 World Championships in Utah.

Paul Newsome from SwimSmooth.com joins us this week for a special edition aimed at helping you improve your swim stroke. Paul is one of the World’s most experienced swim coaches and stroke analysts, having been coaching swimming professionally for over 20 years. The swim smooth method has been adopted by British Triathlon and the ITU for their triathlon coaching courses, and their ‘swim types’ system is great at helping you quickly identify what kind of swimmer you are, and how to rapidly improve.
In this episode we cover:
The background that led to the formation of SwimSmooth
The Swim Types system, consisting of the following six swim types:
Arnie
Bambino
Kicktastic
Overglider
Swinger
Smooth
Stroke Rate - how to measure where you’re at, how to find the correct range for your swim type and body size, and how to test what stroke rate will work best for your body and swim stroke.
The Finis Tempo Trainer Pro , and why it’s such a useful tool.
Paul’s thoughts from having coached Joe Skipper. We also cover the lessons that we can all apply to our own swimming from him having watched Joe’s improvements, and how they’ve translated into his open water racing.

Age Group Special: Gareth Whittle.
Age Grouper Gareth Whittle has a story that will inspire and motivate you to overcome any challenge that life throws at you. An adventure holiday in Alaska went horribly wrong for Gareth and his friends, when an unexpected storm, bringing heavy snow and temperatures of -40 degrees C, trapped Gareth and his expedition partners in life threatening conditions. Freezing cold, lost in the pitch black Alaskan night and afraid for their lives after an accident stranded them, they became hypothermic and developed frostbite. Finally managing to find their way to shelter, they realised that their ordeal was only just beginning. Gareth tells the story of the battle to regain the use of his feet, his gradual and painful return to exercise, and finally, triumphantly, recovering his health and regaining enough fitness to cross the line at Outlaw Full in Nottingham in 2021.

Sara Svensk won Ironman Cozumel 2021 in a new Ironman-branded World Record of 8.22.:40. This would be incredible enough, but, as we’ll hear in the interview, she did this on less than four months of training! After contracting Covid in May, Sara had ongoing health problems, including heart problems that ECG indicated could have been related to a heart attack. Following 6 week of no training at all, and numerous medical investigations, she was given the all clear to return to gentle training, and, 4 months later, was able to produce that incredible performance in Mexico. I hope this interview gives hope to anyone struggling with a health condition that it is possible to return to full health and fitness!

James Hall completed his first triathlon in his late 40’s, after one of his clients challenged him to enter an Etape sportif, and in his own words, he loved it. Inspired to take up swimming with a Master’s group rather than sit and watch his children train in the pool, he combined his love of swimming and cycling, added running, and set himself the goal of completing an Olympic distance race in 2019. Completing that in just under 3 hours, he was inspired to see what he was capable of with a structured training plan and coaching support. That’s where he met Team Oxygenaddict :) Despite a very busy life working in financial services in the City of London that means he’s at his desk at 6.30 every day after a 5am get-up, we learn how he fits training, and most importantly, recovery and sleep into his life, and how this has taken him to qualifying for the World Triathlon sprint championships, and completing his first middle distance races at Outlaw X and Outlaw Half Holkham.

Emma Pallant-Browne has had a stellar 2022, with three 70.3 wins, 3 more 70.3 podiums, 3rd fastest of the day at the Collins Cup, and 5th place at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St. George. The former two time World Duathlon Champion has used the time in lockdown to really work on her swimming, under the guidance of new coach Tim Don, and feels she’s made the transition to ‘complete triathlete.’ She’s got a great story, and of particular interest is her work with Precision Hydration to build and refine a hydration, electrolyte and fuel strategy that she feels has really taken her to the next level this year.

Justin Metzler’s recent 2nd place at Ironman Coeur D’Alene has propelled him into the international spotlight. It’s easy to assume that performances come easy to a pro triathlete, but, as you’ll hear, Justin’s story is a long way from the ‘standard’ tale of lifelong athletic brilliance. As a 13 year old, Justin was a massive fan of Ironman triathlon, but was struggling to break 60 minutes for 10k. What followed was over a decade of dedication to his craft, relentlessly logging the training hours and watching his times gradually improving. His payoff? 2nd place behind Sam Long at Ironman Coeur D’Alene, in a time that broke the old course record.

A special edition of the show, helping you to work out your optimal fuelling strategy for Ironman, 70.3, Olympic and sprint distance triathlon, as well as running and cycling endurance events. We cover the science of calorie intake, electrolyte intake, and fluid intake, as well as some personal experience and stories from the endurance world, to help you work out the best plan for you. This is a conversation with Andy Blow, ex-pro triathlete, from Precision Hydration.
Here are some key reading points, and links to various calculators and blog posts mentioned in the show.
The 3 Levers for fueling endurance performance
The 3 Levers for fueling endurance performance - This could be a good starting point as Andy outlines the 3 acute costs of taking part in endurance exercise for an athlete, namely calories burned (mainly in the form of carbohydrate), sodium and fluid.
The way to learn how to ‘pull the levers’ correctly is to understand the ballpark levels of replacement that are usually needed for each one. You can further refine these levels on the basis of your own deeper knowledge of your personal requirements.
Know Your Numbers
How much carbohydrate do athletes need to perform at their best?
This blog helps athletes 'Know Their Numbers' and pull the 'carb' lever correctly by helping them understand how much carb they should be aiming to consume per hour for their activity and for the duration they're performing.
And we've created a Quick Carb Calculator for athletes to take so that they can hit those numbers during training and races
Once an athlete Knows Their Numbers, they'll need to consider how they're going to get those carbs on board and which energy products are right for them - will they use real food, gels, chews, isotonic drinks, bars? The decision on the best forms of carbs for them will come down to personal preferences and will require some trial and error during training.

Ross Davenport is a 2x Commonwealth Gold medalist swimmer, and represented GB at three Olympic games. This year, he’s taking on the full distance Outlaw triathlon in Nottingham in July as a member of Team Oxygenaddict, and we’re going to follow his progress each month as he steps into the unknown. We kick the series off with a full interview to learn about how he got into swimming as a child, his habit of working hard every day to be the best he could be that day, and how ultimately that led him to 2 Commonwealth Games Gold medals.
You can watch the youtube video of Ross winning his medals referenced in our interview here: https://youtu.be/QZX54tOwBvc?t=425

Matt Bottrill is probably the World’s leading expert on putting triathletes in aerodynamic positions on the bike, and helping them train in a way that makes them go fast on race day! A former 60x National time trial medalist, Matt now coaches and advises athletes like Brian Fogarty, Tim Don, Tim O’Donnell and Matt Hansen to name but a few. He also runs a very successful coaching and bike fitting service where he helps age group triathletes get faster and more aerodynamic on the bike. We talk about how you can go faster - using a power meter and heart rate monitor, training, body position drills, kit, tyres, wheels, clothing, and how to analyse power and speed data. He’s a wealth of information, and if the information in this episode doesn’t make you faster on the bike, nothing can!

Chris Silver represented Wales at the 2018 Commonwealth Games mixed relay. His promising pro triathlon career took a detour when he contracted Covid in March 2020. Since then, he’s been one of the many untold stories of long covid - repeating cycles of fatigue, recovery, restarts to training and relapses. Ultimately though, Chris’ story is one of gratitude, hope, helping others recover, and as he puts it - ‘Go slow to recover fast.’
You can find out more about Chris at his website www.wellbeing1st.com .

Andrew Morrison is an age group triathlete, and works long hours as a solicitor in London. He tells us about his triathlon journey - from taking over 2 hours 30 minutes in his first olympic distance at the London Triathlon, to narrowly missing the bronze medal at the ETU middle distance championships in Romania. One of the strongest athletes on our team, Andrew talks about the constant search for marginal gains that will help him onto the podium in 2021, and, his quest to go sub-10 at Ironman Switzerland.

Age Group Special: Gareth Whittle.
Gareth Whittle celebrated the end of an incredibly difficult 2020 by finishing Outlaw X, after almost losing both feet to frostbite in the Alaskan wilderness. An unexpected storm, bringing heavy snow and temperatures of -40 degrees C, trapped Gareth and his expedition partners in life threatening conditions. Gareth tells the story of the battle to regain the use of his feet, his gradual and painful return to exercise, and finally regaining enough fitness to cross the line at Outlaw X.

This week we have a New Year Special Edition on Improving Performance and Health. Dr. Anton Krige is a medical doctor, multiple Ironman finisher, and functional medicine specialist. This is a fascinating conversation regarding the simple (and not so simple!) things that we can do to help promote health and performance in a busy and demanding world.
In his own words:
"I have been an endurance athlete for over thirty years and in my quest to maintain my performance as an ageing athlete with minimal time to exercise I implemented significant changes to my approach to nutrition along with targeted supplementation and many other lifestyle interventions over the past 5 years.
Not only did I feel much better after introducing the changes but various symptoms which I had chalked up to normal ageing simply disappeared including a joint pain of more than two decades duration. I now have consistent energy and focus, sleep better and recover faster than ever from intense exercise.
This led me to extensive self-study, using my research skills as an experienced clinician researcher, about the underlying causes of chronic disease & how to discover & address these causes. It was during this quest that I discovered the logical evidence -based principles of functional medicine & the obvious value of this approach.
Not only are many patients with unexplained symptoms given a "functional illness" label & treated as having psychological/psychiatric problems but are treated with medication which may introduce side effects.
On the other hand I have encountered patients who have self-healed from various conditions using changes in nutrition and/or supplements. Unfortunately the current medical model does not have sufficient consultation time per patient, has little knowledge of the latest nutritional research and does not recognise the power of these interventions yet.’
You can find out more about Dr. Krige at his website: https://www.bestyou-functionalhealthclinic.co.uk/about.html
Disclaimer: Dr Krige has stated that nothing said in the podcast should be construed as personal medical advice and is just for general information. Always obtain professional medical advice before implementing any changes based on test results and obtain professional interpretation of the results.
This interview was first released in January 2020.

Heart Rate Variability is possibly the easiest to use tool that’ll make the biggest difference to the results you get from your training. Only train hard on the days when your body can absorb the training - and never waste a moment of your valuable training time again!
Dr. Marco Altini is the creator of the HRV4Training App. In this episode, we dive deep into heart rate variability, and why it might well be the most important training tool to getting the most out of your limited training time!
The HRV4training app is available on both the Apple store and Google play, priced at £10. Well worth the money for all the benefit it brings!

This week, Dave Scott is back on the show to talk strength and conditioning for triathletes! We cover:
The kinds of S and C work Dave has done across his career, and how he feels it's helped him.
The kinds of S and C work Dave has his Age Group athletes do - bodyweight exercises, weight training, pilates/yoga, and how that changes across a season. We also talk variations for winter/off season work, pre season work, and race season / maintenance work.
He also talks about alternatives to swimming while pools are closed - band work, specific S and C, and swim cords that athletes can be getting on with until pools return to normal.
Sign up for Dave’s free fortnightly newsletter covering a wide range of topics by visiting https://davescottinc.com/ - and, you can schedule a zoom call with him if you’re interested in attending his camps in France!

David Naylor is an age grouper, and CTO of a data science company. As a relative beginner to triathlon who’d only completed one sprint distance race, he was inspired by some friends who had completed Ironman UK and promptly signed up himself - despite not being able to swim front crawl! David talks with honesty about overcoming a period of poor mental health, and how regular exercise helps him stay mentally, as well as physically, healthy.

Jessie Hassall is an age grouper who has moved from someone who, in her own words, hated the idea of running - to finishing 2x half distance races at Outlaw X, and has her heart set on Ironman Austria in 2021. A professional costume designer for film, TV and stage, she works 12 hours shifts each day - and still gets the training done. She’s currently co-leading the Team Oxygenaddict Key Session Tracker streak, with an incredible 45 weeks of training without missing a key session! If she can do that, around a daily 12 hour shift - I figured there something that we can all learn from her to help us!

Laura Philipp has had an amazing last couple of years. She broke the German Ironman record in 2018, going 8.34 in Barca on her FIRST attempt at the distance! Then, she followed that up in 2019 by finishing 4th in Kona on her first attempt at racing on the island -and, as we’ll hear, she raced with a broken bone in her leg!

George Goodwin is a 24 year old professional triathlete from the UK, who has made headlines recently by winning Outlaw X, and finishing second to Ali Brownlee at the Helvellyn triathlon after making up over 2 minutes on the double olympic champion on the bike. With wins at 70.3 Staffs, 70.3 Weymouth and a fantastic 12th place at the World 70.3 Champs in Nice in 2019, he’s got even better in 2020. We hear about his career, his year so far, and his excitement to qualify for the PTO race at Challenge Daytona and race more of the best triathletes in the World.

Dave McGillivray has done and seen more in the world of endurance sport than most of us can imagine. In 1978, he ran 3500 miles across the USA in 80 days, raising money and awareness for the Jimmy Fund, and in doing so, became the first person credited with combining sporting events with raising money. He’s continued that tradition, and over the last 40 years, his events have raised $300 million for charity.
In 1980, he raced the Ironman World Championships and finished 14th, the year that Dave Scott won for the first time. He established the 2nd Iron distance race in the World in Cape Cod. He has gone on to become the race director of the Boston Marathon, and has directed over 1,300 events in his career. Oh, and he’s run the last 48 Boston marathons consecutively. To do that, he runs them on his own, at night, after everyone else has gone home. He’s completed the World Marathon Challenge - 7 marathons, 7 days, on 7 different continents. He’s also recently recovered from open heart surgery following a diagnosis of coronary heart disease, and he now raises awareness amongst the endurance community of how important it is that we all get regular heart check ups as we get a little older, and not just assume that because we’re fit, our hearts are healthy.
I loved this conversation. Dave is by turns open, warm, funny, reflective, and humble about his incredible achievements. I think you’ll love it too.

I think this might be my current favourite of all the 306 episode interviews we’ve put out over the last 6 years!
Dave Scott is already well known for his achievements - 6 time winner of Ironman Hawaii between 1980 and 1987, successful coach to champion athletes like Chrissie Wellington, Craig Alexander, Tim Don and Julie Dibens.
What is less well known is his ongoing battle with depression that has, at times, left him unable to get off the couch. Dave is open and honest about the challenges he’s faced - how, despite the World regarding him as ‘The Man’, and his countless race successes, striving for perfection and falling short often left him feeling worthless. And he also shares about how, with time, he’s come to see things differently, how his children have helped him, and how, in turn, he’s managed to help other highly driven and obsessive athletes find a little more balance - as well as World Championship victories.

Natalie Duncombe qualified for GBR representation in the first duathlon she completed. She came to multi-sport from a running background after a period of injury forced her to take up cycling and swimming as part of her injury rehab. Over the last three years, she progressed from being happy to just cross the line after a bike crash during her first ETU champs, to an AG silver medal, to an overall AG 3rd place in 2020. We hear how she balances training and work life, how she has learned to deal with stress and pressure, and how, over time, her focus has shifted from ‘race performance goals’ to ‘training process goals.’

This week we bring you another Age Group Story. Simon Maguire has lost over 70 pounds during his triathlon journey while training for his first half Ironman. A busy company director and father of two, Simon became determined to change his life after getting to meet his idol, cricketer Freddy Flintoff. After seeing the photograph of the two of them together that his friend took, he describes being too ashamed of his weight gain to share the photo on his social media. The next day, he started on the process of changing his life - daily exercise first thing in the morning, changing his eating and drinking habits, and entering an event that inspired him to keep up with the changes daily.
You can read more about the hotels that Simon manages and mentions in the interview here : https://www.luxuryfamilyhotels.co.uk/

We hear about his year since his win at Ironman New Zealand in March - how he’s trained since lockdown, his recent forays into run races on the track, getting his bike stolen while training in France, and how much of a difference it’s made having some financial security courtesy of the PTO.

In 2018, David McNamee became the third fastest finisher ever at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, in a time of 8:01:09. Hoping to go one (or two!) places better, he came back in 2019 in the shape of his life - but things didn’t go to plan. We hear about that race, the lead up, training with Jan Frodeno, and the challenges of trying to stay in shape during lockdown in Girona, trapped in an apartment with only a 15m balcony for outside space!

Kimberley Morrison is one of the best swim-bikers in the sport of triathlon. Already a three time 70.3 Champion, she’s had her first podium at Ironman Tallinn in 2019, where she qualified to Kona. We discuss her career so far, her first podium at Ironman, and her recent solo training marathon where she broke 3 hours for the first time - but more importantly, raised money for Great Ormond St Children’s Hospital, where she spent a great deal of the first 3 years of her life.

Australian Matt Hauser was World Junior Champion in 2017, 4th at Gold Coast Commonwealth games 2018, and won a gold medal in the mixed relay with fastest run leg. In 2019 he won two World cups, and 2020 was 8th in Mooloolaba. We talk about his background and entry into the sport, his hopes to make the Australian team for the Tokyo Olympics, his respect for his rivals - and the kind of times he’s posting for 5km on the road while he’s in lockdown!

Rachel Klamer is a two time Olympian who competed for the Netherlands at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics, finishing in 36th and 10th position respectively. She’s currently ranked 7th in the ITU World Rankings, and 2nd in the SuperLeague Triathlon series. This super strong bike-runner was coming into 2020 in the form of her life and aiming for the podium in Tokyo when sport and life was put on hold due to the pandemic. We catch up with Rachel to hear about training in lockdown in the Netherlands, how Strava segment hunting is keeping her and new husband Richard Murray sane, and her aspirations for Tokyo and beyond.

This week’s interview Richard Murray needs no introduction to most of the triathlon fans in the World. Richard finished 4th at the Rio Olympics, a few agonising seconds short of the podium, after running through the field. He has multiple wins and podiums at ITU World Triathlon events. We talk about his recent controversial 5km ‘training run’ - where he unofficially broke the South African road 5km record in 13.37. We hear how he ran 15.03 for 5k as a 16 year old - IN BARE FEET! - and hear his thoughts on his competition for the podium in Tokyo.

This week we bring you a bike fit special, with Matt Bottrill - British uber time trial legend turned bike coach to triathlon superstars.
Matt has worked wonders with the bike position and speed of triathletes like Lucy Charles, Will Clarke, Susie Cheetham, Matt Hanson, and Tim Don. He also positioned Lotto Soudal cyclist Victor Campenaerts for his successful attempt on the hour record.
Ever wonder - ‘How on earth do people go so fast on the bike? Is it all down to fitness, or is there more to it?’ We talk about all the things that you can do to go faster - other than training. Clothing. Body position. Helmet choice. Head position. Hand position. Specific drills to help you hold that new bike position. As we’ll find out, all these things have a MASSIVE effect on how fast your power will let you go - much more so than most athletes realise. It'll take time to adjust to a new position- 6-8 weeks in Matt's experience. But once you get there, you're going faster simply because of your equipment choices and body position, rather than 'just' the training you're doing.
You can find out more about Matt and his services at https://www.mattbottrillperformancecoaching.com/

Jordan Rapp is an American professional triathlete, who has won Norseman, Ironman Canada twice, Ironman Texas and Ironman New York, as well as being 2011 World Champion over the ITU Long Distance.
In 2010, he was a victim of a hit and run car accident while out riding his bike. Rapp suffered numerous broken bones including his clavicle and scapula, as well as contusions and lacerations about the head and neck. Rapp lost between two and three liters of blood as a result of the accident. His life was saved by Chief Petty Officer Thomas Sanchez, who came across the accident and put pressure on his severed jugular.
He currently works as a game designer for Zwift, so we get the inside scoop on new developments coming our way soon!

Lisa Bentley is a legend of Iron-distance racing. 11 time champion, she won Ironman Australia 5 times, Canada three times, New Zealand twice and Ironman Germany, as well as finishing in the top 10 in Kona six times, including a third place finish in 2006. All of this is remarkable enough before you consider that Lisa was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a disease of the lungs causing repeated chest infections and requiring her to be on antibiotics for up to three months every year. Her story is one of not just hard work and dedication, but also of a positive mental attitude that rivals anything you’ll ever have heard. Lisa is now a team captain for the Internationals in the Collins Cup, selecting the athletes that will race head to head when the race takes place in 2021.

Guidance for low carbohydrate approach for endurance athletes:
The art & science of low carbohydrate performance - Volek & Phinney https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Science-Low-Carbohydrate-Performance/dp/0983490716/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=jeff+volek&qid=1586449503&sr=8-1
The Paleo diet for athletes - Joe Friel - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paleo-Diet-Athletes-Nutritional-Performance-ebook/dp/B0093QBOZ2/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=joe+friel+paleo&qid=1586449609&sr=8-2
Recommend Jae Grunke “The Balanced Runner” - she’s doing 15 minute lesson per day during covid on her youtube channel - she’s a magician for curing chronic running injuries & form - completely different approach ( very good blog breaking down top runners’ forms) - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+balanced+runner
HIRT (high intensity repeat training as apposed to HIIT): 7-15 sec sprint - 2 minutes recovery x 5 -6 once a week
I have a whole host of evidence based techniques for improving sleep & reducing stress which massively important for immune function but talks on their own.
Finally, a caveat regarding nutritional advice - there is some early animal evidence the higher dose of vitamin A & D, which are usually very good for our immune health, may allow easier coronavirus cell entry. We don’t know yet if this applies to humans & is contentious so therefore I would ensure adequate intake of those vitamins to prevent becoming ill but if diagnosed with COVID would discontinue any additional vitamin A & D supplementation just taking what’s in food. This may change as we learn more.”

Holly Lawrence joins us again on the show this week! The former 2016 Ironman 70.3 World Champion had a fantastic season in 2019, winning 5 70.3’s, including the North American championships and the Asia Pacific championships, and also finished 2nd at the 70.3 World Champs in Nice. After a 2018 ruined by a broken foot - an injury that one surgeon told her would end her athletic career - Holly raced 2019 with gratitude in her heart that she could even compete again.
Holly hosts a group ride on Zwift each week - you can join her at 7.05pm UK time every Monday for her recovery ride!

A special edition of the podcast, dealing with advice on how to train given the rapidly changing coronavirus situation.
We’re aware that some of you would prefer to continue training as if you were still building towards your main event, even if it has been / is likely to be cancelled. But your health, well being and strength of your immune system has to be our primary concern here.
.
The well respected and widely acknowledged study linked to below highlights a few clear, relevant points regarding our training. More specifically that continued exercise has a positive effect on reducing risk of respiratory infection, but only up to a moderate level of intensity. High intensity training notably increases the risk of respiratory infection. (See the “J-Curve” representation of this in the article linked below. )

Lucy Gossage is a 14x Ironman champion, and legend of Ironman UK and Ironman Wales. Helen Davis is a Chartered Sports Psychologist who worked with Lucy over the last 4 years of her career.
It's easy to imagine that success and confidence come easily to a 14x Ironman Champion like Lucy Gossage. However, in frank and open interview, Lucy talks about how she suffered from 'imposter syndrome' for almost all her racing career, never feeling like a 'proper' professional, and often struggled with the confidence and self belief that she could do well in races. In this dual interview, Lucy talks about how working with Helen revolutionised both her training/racing performance, and her belief in herself in her wider life.
Helen and Lucy have teamed up to produce the 6-video IRON-MIND course, which has been developed for Ironman and other endurance athletes to enhance their psychological approach to training and racing. "IRON-MIND is structured on evidence-based research and experience in sport psychology consultancy," says Helen.
In this special edition, Lucy and Helen talk through some very practical, actionable mental training exercises that you can do to improve your mental strength and confidence in your ability.
You can learn more about the Iron-Mind program at https://www.thinkbelieveperform.co.uk/iron-mind

Chris McCormack is one of the true legends of triathlon. A 2 x Kona winner, 6 x Ironman Australia, 2 x ITU World Champion, and 4 x winner at Challenge Roth, and one of the few men to go sub 8 hours in his day. Since retiring from competition, Chris has introduced SuperLeague Tri to the World - innovative race formats, making fast, furious and exciting sport for both the fans and the athletes. In an honest and open interview, he talks about how he battled constant self doubt and negative self image during his racing years, projecting an aggressive prize-fighter persona to deflect attention from worries about his abilities, insecurities and body weight worries. He talks about how a plans for a super-race against Lance Armstrong went sour, and how that in part led to the idea for SuperLeague Tri. He talks about his favourite athletes racing at the moment, and who he thinks will be in the spotlight in 2020. More than anything, Chris is one of the most passionate fans of triathlon that you will ever meet, and his infectious enthusiasm for bringing the sport to more people really shines through during this interview.

Emma Pallant recently claimed her third consecutive silver medal at 70.3 South Africa - facing the heartbreak of dropping her nutrition bottle and realising too late that the on course bottles she had taken were, in fact, zero calorie! 2019 saw her win no less than five 70.3 races, and she finished top 10 at the World Champs in Nice. We hear her story from runner to champion 70.3 athlete, her will to take the 70.3 Champs in New Zealand this year, and the story of passing out in T2 at Kona. Most remarkably, we also hear about her mission to start a running club to improve the lives of orphaned children in South Africa.

Ruth Purbrook won the overall age group title at the 2019 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. She managed this despite working a 'real' full time job, where she regularly put in 50-70 hour weeks working in banking in London. In order to fit in her training, she was up every morning at 4.30 am and training on Zwift by 4.45am! She also had a horrific bike crash only 12 weeks before Kona where she broke her collar bone! We hear the story of her progression from hockey player to World Champion, and about her recent decision to turn professional. We hear about how she works with her coach Will Clarke, how the decision to reduce her working hours has helped her improve largely through her increased ability to sleep more, and about her amazing experience as part of the Zwift Tri Academy.

Will Clarke has been one of Great Britain’s most successful triathletes. From World U23 Champion, to Olympic Games, to 7.45 Ironman performances, he’s been at the top of the sport since 2002. He’s decided to step back from international pro racing in 2020. We catch up with Will to hear the story of his 2019 season, including his early season successes at Outlaw Half, 70.3 Staffs and Ironman Brazil, through to his 25th place at Hawaii and decision to retire from Pro racing. He talks about training with Patrick Lange in the run up to Hawaii, the frustrations of poor kit constraints due to sponsors, and ultimately his move to coaching, with his successes with Ruth Purbrook winning the overall AG race in Hawaii. He also tells us about his plans for 2020, and his new race team Riot Racing.

Tom Crossland is attempting a 90 day, 3500km ultra run from Greece to London, raising money and awareness to help end modern slavery and human trafficking. As if this wasn’t enough of a physical challenge already, Tom was born with Cerebral Palsy, a physical condition that affects the movement, posture and co-ordination Tom has on his left hand side. This is a great conversation about overcoming physical and mental barriers, and discovering that we’re ALL capable of much more than we think we are. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did!

Tim O’Donnell finished 2nd in Kona at the Ironman World Championships, breaking 8 hours to finish in 7.59.40.
One of the most consistent performers on the Big Island, Tim has finished in the top ten six times in the last eight years. This year’s result was all the more sweet for him after a difficult year marred by injury - broken ribs following a horrific high speed bike crash kept him away from racing the early season. He managed to secure his slot with a 3rd place at IM Boulder, despite him having a ‘bad race’ in his own words. However, worse was to come when he stepped on a kerb and broke a bone in his foot only 6 weeks before Kona. While this would have been the end of the dream for most athletes, Tim applied his remarkable mental strength. “Don’t focus on what you can’t do, focus on what you can do in that moment to become a better athlete.”
In this interview, we’ll hear:
The story of his injury recovery, and how he used aqua jogging and a zero-G treadmill when he couldn’t run
Training sessions and secrets, and what he’s learned from his coaches Julie Dibbens and Matt Bottrill
Tips for staying healthy with a toddler in the house, including his use of essential oils
The story of his race at Kona that culminated in his 2nd place finish in 7.59.40
You can learn more about Tim O’Donnell on his Instagram (@TOinTri) and his youtube channel The Tim and Rinny Show

This week we have a New Year Special Edition on Improving Performance and Health. Dr. Anton Krige is a medical doctor, multiple Ironman finisher, and functional medicine specialist. This is a fascinating conversation regarding the simple (and not so simple!) things that we can do to help promote health and performance in a busy and demanding world.
In his own words:
"I have been an endurance athlete for over thirty years and in my quest to maintain my performance as an ageing athlete with minimal time to exercise I implemented significant changes to my approach to nutrition along with targeted supplementation and many other lifestyle interventions over the past 5 years.Not only did I feel much better after introducing the changes but various symptoms which I had chalked up to normal ageing simply disappeared including a joint pain of more than two decades duration. I now have consistent energy and focus, sleep better and recover faster than ever from intense exercise.This led me to extensive self-study, using my research skills as an experienced clinician researcher, about the underlying causes of chronic disease & how to discover & address these causes. It was during this quest that I discovered the logical evidence -based principles of functional medicine & the obvious value of this approach. Not only are many patients with unexplained symptoms given a "functional illness" label & treated as having psychological/psychiatric problems but are treated with medication which may introduce side effects.On the other hand I have encountered patients who have self-healed from various conditions using changes in nutrition and/or supplements. Unfortunately the current medical model does not have sufficient consultation time per patient, has little knowledge of the latest nutritional research and does not recognise the power of these interventions yet.’

Lucy Charles-Barclay recently finished 2nd at the Ironman World Championships in Kona for the third consecutive year. We hear about her epic battle for 2nd place on the marathon with Sarah Crowley, and her races in IM South Africa and Challenge Roth. We talk about the training that has got her into top shape, and the challenges that coach and husband Reece Barclay has put in front of her, and how the key to her racing is that, in training, she’s constantly pushed to do more than she thinks is possible.

Paul Newsome from SwimSmooth.com joins us this week for a special edition aimed at helping you improve your swim stroke. Paul is one of the World’s most experienced swim coaches and stroke analysts, having been coaching swimming professionally for over 20 years. The swim smooth method has been adopted by British Triathlon and the ITU for their triathlon coaching courses, and their ‘swim types’ system is great at helping you quickly identify what kind of swimmer you are, and how to rapidly improve.
In this episode we cover:
The background that led to the formation of SwimSmooth
The Swim Types system, consisting of the following six swim types:
Arnie
Bambino
Kicktastic
Overglider
Swinger
Smooth
Stroke Rate - how to measure where you’re at, how to find the correct range for your swim type and body size, and how to test what stroke rate will work best for your body and swim stroke.
The Finis Tempo Trainer Pro , and why it’s such a useful tool.
Paul’s thoughts from having coached Joe Skipper. We also cover the lessons that we can all apply to our own swimming from him having watched Joe’s improvements, and how they’ve translated into his open water racing.

Joe Skipper won Ironman Florida last weekend in a new course record time of 7:46:28. He combined a 4.05.51 on the bike with a scorching 2.39.01 marathon to beat both Ben Hoffman and Andrew Starykowicz to the line. His combined bike and run times are now the fastest ‘on land time’ in an Ironman event ever, of 6.44.52! We hear all about his race, his plans for the coming winter training block, and he even answers tons of your listener questions!

Nikki Bartlett won Ironman Lanzarote in May 2019 - her first win after 14 times on the pro podium! - to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Helen headed to the home of British Triathlon in Loughborough this week to hear her story.
She talks about her race in Hawaii this year, and how she put her demons to rest after her DNF in 2017. She also talks about her hopes to help Alison Peasgood qualify for the Tokyo Paralympics.
Helen also manages to grab a quick interview with double Commonwealth Games gold medalist Jodie Stimpson when she stops to chat before an early morning swim set. Jodie talks about her upcoming return to 70.3 racing for the first time since 2014 at Bahrain, where she expects to "get her arse kicked". She also speaks about the difficulty of trying to get enough ranking points to compete on the WTS circuit after an injury plagued season.

This week we have two great interviews recorded while we were out at Super League Triathlon Malta. First up, we have multiple World Champion and SLT co-founder Chris ‘Macca’ McCormack, who gives his views on the current generation of super stars, including his admiration for Jan Frodeno and Alistair Brownlee. We also have SLT CEO Michael D’Hulst on the plans for where you’ll be able to see the World’s best triathletes over the coming year - and do we get a hint that we might see SLT in the UK next year?!

Arild Tveiten - the coach taking Norway to the top of the triathlon world
We've got a fascinating interview for you this week with the man helping to turn Norway into one of the best triathlon nations in the world.
Arild Tveiten is the brains behind the success of 2019 Ironman 70.3 World Champion Gustav Iden.
He's the coach who's helped Kristian Blummenfelt to the fastest 70.3 time in history - 3.29.
And he's the person who guided Casper Stornes to his first ever WTS win in Bermuda in 2018, and with it an incredible Norway 1-2-3 on the podium.
You'll hear:
Why and how Norway are doing things differently to become one of the world's leading triathlon nations. How he started to coach Kristian Blummenfelt as a 17 year old in 2011, even though he had no formal coaching background
*The thinking behind Gustav Iden becoming World 70.3 Champion on a road bike
*How he turned Gustav Iden from a 'really slow' swimmer into one of the world's best triathletes
*Why he thinks Norway will win their first ever triathlon medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics

We bring you a double interview this week!
Simon George
Simon George hit the headlines last weekend when he won the half distance Outlaw X event at Thoresby Hall. As a previous multiple winner and podium-placer at numerous Outlaw events, this might have been seen as 'business as usual' by many observers. What most people don't know though, is that the event marked a return to racing for Simon after a year of hell. Crashing on his bike and landing heavily on his head during early summer 2018, Simon was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome. This had a huge impact on his life, his family and his work life, and he questioned whether he'd ever be able to train again, let alone compete. His story is one of courage and perseverance, and we're really happy we can share it with you.
Michelle Vesterby
Michelle Vesterby is well known for her bubbly personality and positive attitude towards not just racing, but life too - she's the one who usually out-smiles all of her competitors during a race!
The Dane, who was 4th at Kona in 2015, found out that she was pregnant at the Ironman World Championships in 2018 and raced in Hawaii when she was 11 weeks pregnant. She gave birth to her son Markus in May 2019 and remarkably she was back racing long distance just three months later, at Ironman Copenhagen in August. Five weeks later she finished just off the podium in a shade over 9 hours at Ironman Italy.
She was on fine form when we caught up with her the following morning.
You'll hear:
*All about the training she did during her pregnancy
*The importance of listening to your body
*Why she decided to race at Ironman Copenhagen, so soon after giving birth
*How to get find extra energy when you're flagging on the run (hint. smile!)
*A lot of laughter when she explains why she's on the look out for a babysitter in Kona!
You can follow Michelle on Instagram @vesterbytri and find out more about her at her website www.michellevesterby.com

Denmark’s Mathias Petersen went 7.52.31 to finish 3rd at Ironman Sweden in Kalmar - in his first attempt at the Iron distance! At only 24, Mathias had no expectations as he stepped up to the Ironman distance. Already twice Danish champion at 70.3 distance, all he really wanted to do was reach the finish line. We hear how his day played out, from a mind blowing 45 minute swim through a 4.16 on the bike, to his 2.47 marathon to round things out. He’s an amazing young talent that clearly has an incredible potential at the distance - if he can secure funding and sponsorship to help him keep racing after he finishes university. Imagine - the only sponsorship this record breaker has, is free shoes from Saucony !

We bring you all of the emotion from Ironman Wales 2019 in this week’s show. We’ve got interviews with winners Simone Mitchell and Arnaud Guilloux, plus Manon Genet who was second in the women’s race, and Laura Siddall who was 3rd. We’ve got Dylan McNeice from NZ who was 5th after leading out of the water and for much of the first half of the bike, Joe Skipper who unfortunately ended up DQ despite the fastest run of the day, and Phil Graves who finished 10th after leading off the bike. We’ve also got Nathan Ford, the overall age group winner.
You’ll hear the excitement, the elation, the tears and the disappointment from all of the big names at the finish line. And listen out for a pre-race interview with Lucy Gossage about why she wanted to return to Tenby one last time and an interview with Declan Byrne too – the Regional Director for Ironman UK and Ireland about future plans for the major Ironman events in the region

We’re joined by Denmark’s Helle Frederiksen on the podcast this week. Helle recently announced her retirement after an 11 year professional career. During that time she competed at the Olympics, won 10 Ironman 70.3 titles, became ITU Long Distance Champion in 2018 and recorded the fastest female time across the middle distance – 03.55.50.
There are some brilliant life lessons for us all in this interview. You’ll hear Helle discussing:
*Her decision to retire
*Her biggest failures and what she has learnt from them
*What she is most excited...And most scared about for her next chapter
*The tools she used to keep believing she could come back from injury
*Her plans to write a book
*The magic ingredients to make it to the top (it’s not rocket science)
*Tips for running, S & C and swimming

Simone Mitchell recently made a comeback from injury to win the British Middle Distance championships at Aberfeldy. A winner and course record breaker at the Outlaw in 2018 (finishing 4th overall, in 9.15) and having previously finished 2nd female at IM Lanzarote despite racing as an age grouper, she is stepping up to race Pro at Ironman Wales 2019. She talks to us about her long and rocky path back from injury, the importance of her relationship with her coach, how that has informed her own coaching, and what she's learned about herself and what inspires her on a day to day basis.

Lukas Siska recently finished third at Ironman UK, in his first attempt at the distance. This is his comeback season after a 3 year lay off from racing following the end of his ITU career, where he represented Slovakia. The life of a pro triathlete can be difficult, and we hear about the disappointment of not making the olympics after a run of awful luck in WTS races in 2015. We get the inside track on his training during his comeback, in the run up to Ironman UK. We hear about how his passion for racing has returned - and how he now wants to mix it with the best long distance triathletes in the World!

Anne Haug ran 2.55 - the fastest marathon of the day - to finish 3rd on her Kona debut in 2018. She also recorded a 1.14 half marathon to take the win at Dubai 70.3 in 2018, following her switch to 70.3 and Ironman racing after the Rio Olympics. You might already know Haug won won the WTS Grand Final in 2012 and has the same coach as Jan Frodeno... but you might not know that she taught herself to swim by watching You Tube videos, or that she was World Champion in a sport few people have heard of. And did you know she loves to knit? Have a listen!

Hydration Special
This week we have a special edition focusing on learning all about the importance of hydration, and especially the important role that electrolyte balance plays in staying hydrated. As we're going to find out, there's MUCH more to it than 'just drinking more water' when it's hot. We also learn why, in some hot conditions, drinking JUST water can actually be detrimental to our performance.
We're joined by Andy Blow, ex-pro triathlete and founder of Precision Hydration. Andy suffered terribly with hydration related problems during his pro career, and it was only when he figured out the importance of balancing his electrolyte intake that he was able to have the same kind of success in hot races that he was having in cooler ones - that hydration / electrolyte balance was the key to his performances.
With the weather across Europe this season being so unpredictable, we've seen LOTS of reports of athletes having their race ruined because of lack of knowledge of how to stay hydrated and in electrolyte balance when it's very hot. As we'll find out, it's a very individual challenge, and even our individual needs change depending on the conditions on the day.
Andy has a wealth of knowledge, and by the end of this show, you'll have a much better understanding of what problems can be caused by dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, how you can learn about your own needs, and some 'hydration guardrails' that you can use in training and racing in differing temperatures.

Sarah Piampiano just finished 2nd at Ironman Hamburg with another amazing run - a 2.56 on a really hot day, which was only a couple of minutes down on the fastest male run times. We got this interview in the can just before the race.
She set Ironman Brazil on fire with her win in 2019, when she delivered a 4.43 bike backed by a 2.53 marathon. To put this in context, her marathon was faster than the men's winner, and only 2 male pro's ran faster!
We hear all about her background - from an overworked banker putting in 100 hour weeks, sleeping under her desk and smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day who entered her first triathlon as a bet! She talks honestly about the changes she's made over the last year to regain her love of the sport after feeling really burned out - we get some great insight into the nutritional changes she's made to stop 'restricting calories' and to start 'maximising nutritional value' from her food.
As she says at the end of the interview - 'We only live once.' :)

Katrina Rye has had a breakthrough year in 2019. She comfortably took the overall Age Group win by 15 minutes at Challenge Gran Canaria in April, finishing only 5 minutes behind Emma Pallant. She then decided to turn Pro and less two months later finished third at Staffordshire 70.3, qualifying for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in the process. Katrina talks about how she combines her training and racing while working as a physio for the British Army, she explains why she swapped hockey for triathlon and gives us a valuable insight into the value of strength and conditioning.

Sam Laidlow won the Lakesman Iron-distance race in 8.21 - at 20 years old, in his first Ironman race! Or so we thought .... :) It turns out that he'd already won the Bearman Xtreme Iron distance race, when he was 18 years old - and he'd only entered that the day before! We catch up with this amazingly talented young athlete and hear about his upbringing, with his parents running a triathlon coaching camp and business in France. 'Ever since I was a young kid, all I've wanted was to win Kona,' he tells us. And with a 2.42 run in this event, who would bet against that happening sooner, rather than later?!
You can read more about his family training camp business at www.sancture-sportifs.com

This week we bring you a bike fit special, with Matt Bottrill - British uber time trial legend turned bike coach to triathlon superstars.
Matt has worked wonders with the bike position and speed of triathletes like Lucy Charles, Will Clarke, Susie Cheetham, Matt Hanson, and Tim Don. He also positioned Lotto Soudal cyclist Victor Campenaerts for his successful attempt on the hour record.
Ever wonder - ‘How on earth do people go so fast on the bike? Is it all down to fitness, or is there more to it?’ We talk about all the things that you can do to go faster - other than training. Clothing. Body position. Helmet choice. Head position. Hand position. Specific drills to help you hold that new bike position. As we’ll find out, all these things have a MASSIVE effect on how fast your power will let you go - much more so than most athletes realise. It'll take time to adjust to a new position- 6-8 weeks in Matt's experience. But once you get there, you're going faster simply because of your equipment choices and body position, rather than 'just' the training you're doing.
You can find out more about Matt and his services at https://www.mattbottrillperformancecoaching.com/

We've got an in-depth interview with an incredible athlete for you this week. Barkley Marathons finisher and two times Kona Qualifier John Kelly is on the show! John talks about becoming only the 15th person ever to finish the insanely tough Barkley Marathons, when he completed it on his third attempt in 2017. (As if that wasn't enough, the same year, he went on to finish 7th in his age group in Kona.) He also tells us about his Grand Round attempt - not only tackling the three classic British fell running challenges back to back...but cycling between them. This guy pushes limits to a whole new level.

Susie Cheetham is a British pro triathlete who has finished 6th at Kona twice, and who has also won Ironman Brazil, Ironman South Africa, and numerous others wins over the 70.3 distance. We talk to her about the hard work she’s done to improve her swim, the work she’s done with bike coach Matt Bottrill to improve her bike position (Matt refers to her as ‘My A star student!’) and her hopes for Kona 2019.

Former rower turned triathlete Frankie Sanjana joins us on the show this week. Frankie has come a long way since doing her first Ironman in 2013, when she took over 8 hours to complete the marathon! She is an amazing example of an athlete who has plugged away for years, battled with injuries and is finally seeing the rewards. In 2019, she finished Galveston 70.3 between Meredith Kessler and Linsey Corbin and her time was 25 minutes faster than 12 months prior.
You’ll hear:
*Why she switched from rowing to triathlon
*About her decision to ditch the age group ranks and turn pro in 2015
*How listening to her body and learning to back off has helped her training and racing
*How she improved her 70.3 performance by 25 minutes in a year
*Why she ended up being pushed through Heathrow in a wheelchair after her first Ironman

We keep quiet and let young British professionals Sam Pictor and Sam Proctor do the talking and interview each other. The pair raced in the pro ranks for the first time in 2018, they each won an Outlaw Half and they both secured their first Ironman 70.3 podium finish, getting 2nd and 3rd at Weymouth 70.3. Proctor just made his debut at IM distance, finishing 8th in a stacked field at IM Texas in 8.14! If you've ever dreamt of racing pro then you'll love this interview as both Sams talk openly about the realities of trying to make a living from the sport.

Holly Lawrence was the 2016 Ironman 70.3 World Champion, who continued her winning streak in 2017 with 6 more back to back wins over the 70.3 distance. A sore foot during the 2018 Oceanside race turned out to be a broken bone , which put her out for the whole rest of the year. She recently made her comeback, winning 70.3 in Dubai and Bahrain - the latter race being the first piece of the $1 million trifecta, if she can win the World Champs and Dubai again this year. She talks honestly about the mental challenges of dealing with 16 weeks in a cast while her foot healed, and reveals some of the lengths she went to to try to keep training - including swimming with her cast wrapped in plastic! She reveals how injury has been a great teacher for her, and how she’s prioritising more than ever the importance of down time, rest and recovery. Moreover, the time spent reflecting and worrying that her career might even be over has led her to approach this ‘second chance’ with a much lighter heart, and a focus on enjoying every minute. This conversation is really fun, and Holly’s love of training, and life in general, really come through!

We've got Sports and Exercise Psychologist Evie Serventi on the podcast this week to help you train your brain ahead of the upcoming season. Evie answers your questions, with tips on how to deal with pre-race nerves and how you can re-focus your mind if you have a bad swim or bike. Evie also tackles the common theme of guilt if you miss a training session, or feel like you haven't spent enough time with your family. And, she talks about coming to terms with an injury and dealing with post-race blues.
Here is Evie's breathing routine she talks about to help you deal with pre-race nerves and anxiety. 1. Find a place where you can sit down or stand quietly, and will not be pushed or moved
- Breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth according to the following routine:
Inhale through nose: Count IN, TWO, THREE, FOUR
exhale through the mouth: Count OUT, TWO, THREE, FOUR.
focus: on relaxed fingertips
- Breath deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth according to the following routine:
Inhale through nose: Count IN, TWO, THREE, FOUR
Exhale through mouth: Count OUT, TWO, THREE, FOUR
Focus: on relaxed toes.
- Repeat this breathing process often, and at different
times of the day - then progress to sport environment
- Stand up and silently repeat: “I FEEL READY - I FEEL
GOOD”

Mike Phillips recently won Ironman New Zealand, a breathtaking race where he came off the bike 18 minutes down on Starky - but continued to push all the way to the line, making the pass with only a couple of miles left to go. We hear about his epic battle, how it feels to chase a rival for the whole day, and the changes he’s made to his training that helped him to run an amazing 2.40.05 marathon. We also hear how the race can be a lesson to all of us in never giving up - Mike had a mechanical on the bike that required him to stop at the roadside for several minutes, and crashed at high speed at the half way point on the bike, breaking his hand!

Jocelyn McCauley recently won Ironman New Zealand in 8.53, breaking the course record and closing out with a 2.58 marathon - pushing herself to the line despite having a 12 minute buffer at that point. In this interview, she explains why she kept pushing so hard - as an athlete and a person, she's on a constant quest for self-mastery.
A former college track running star, Jocelyn got into triathlon after being a 'sherpa' for her sister at several events and loving the atmosphere there. She completed her first 70.3 only 11 weeks after giving birth to her daughter!
In this interview, she also talks about her deep religious faith - explaining how she keeps Sundays as a total day of rest, free free both training and racing.
This is a great conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

In 2018, Georgia Taylor-Brown burst onto the World triathlon stage, finishing 3rd overall in the WTS standings, after podiums in Leeds, Edmonton and Montreal. It was a surprise to many, but as a teenager, she had already been crowned Junior World Duathlon Champion and twice Junior European Triathlon Champion.
But then her name went off the radar for a few years as she battled with injuries.
By 2016 Georgia was back competing, but it wasn't until 2018 that she really made a name for herself on the WTS circuit and surprised herself by finishing 3rd overall, after podiums in Leeds, Edmonton and Montreal.
Georgia is a really fun guest and will have you laughing out loud.
Georgia tells us...
*About her first experiences of triathlon, which involved a borrowed bike and hand-me-down t-shirts
*How she has worked on her mindset, so she feels like she belongs on the ITU circuit
*Why she didn't believe she had finished on the 2018 WTS podium
*Why even she needs a virtual training buddy to motivate herself

Terenzo Bozzone was in the form of his life in early 2018, winning back to back 70.3's and breaking the course record at Ironman New Zealand, and was building his training towards Kona with the podium in his sights. Tragically, he was hit by a logging truck in July while out bike training, and thoughts of racing were put on hold while he tried to heal his body.
Left with severe concussion, ongoing headaches, a broken cheek bone, facial plastic surgery, a broken hand and numerous other injuries, Terenzo focused on doing what he could each day, feeling grateful for the fact he was still alive, his kids and his family. What followed was one of the most remarkable stories of coming back from life threatening injuries ever told. Entering 70.3 Western Sydney on less than two weeks of run training, just with the aim of finishing the race, he surprised everyone - himself included - by taking the win! Inspired by that, he eight days later he entered Ironman Western Australia - and took the win after an epic battle with Cam Wurf on the run.
This is a fantastic story of how a positive attitude, and gratitude for what we have each day, can transform the darkest of situations.

We catch up with 12x Ironman champion Lucy Gossage this week. Lucy tells us why her win at Patagonman 2018 was the perfect way for her to transition away from professional Ironman racing and focus on new challenges in 2019. Lucy gives us a her perspective on the bucket list race in South America and explains why having balance in her life helped her to be a better triathlete.
You'll hear:
*Why she opted for a race with no prize money and no support rather than an Ironman race in South America.
*What she will miss the most about racing as a professional long course triathlete
*About the race she regrets never having done
*Her tips on motivation
*Why you should ALWAYS read the race manual!
Dan Plews won the overall age group Ironman World Championships in Kona in 2018, and broke the course record with the staggering time of 8.24.36. He finished off with a 2.50.56 marathon - the fifth fastest run OVERALL on the day!
In this interview, you'll hear:
Details of how the race played out for Dan
How swimming sub 55 minutes in Kona , he still got onto the bike course surrounded by athletes
Details of his bike power numbers, including the difference between his outward leg and return leg
His approach to pacing on the run, especially in the heat, and how he made use of the headwinds to form an effective cooling strategy
Why he doesn't believe that training should ever feel like a sacrifice
How even the reigning World Age Group champion still suffers from the post Ironman blues!

This week we have multiple XTERRA World Champion Lesley Paterson and her husband Simon Marshall join us from sunny San Diego. Lesley and Simon's brilliant book The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion is a must read if you want to find that mental edge, and this is a must-listen episode. We get advice from Lesley and Simon about how to be at your best mentally in training and racing. We also hear about the art of caber tossing and why Lesley had a poo transplant. Yes, the interview is that wide-ranging that you will learn and laugh, probably at the same time, before going to buy their book!

Our guest this week is Alex Yee who has been making a name for himself in triathlon, and athletics. Alex is frighteningly quick on the track and ran a PB of 27.51 to become British 10,000m Champion in May. What's even more remarkable is the fact that he focuses more on triathlon then running, and was recovering from a dreadful crash in 2017! He also hasn't yet turned 21!
You'll hear:
*Whether he is aiming for the 10,000m or triathlon or both at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020
*How he combines training for triathlon and running at the highest level
*What Mo Farah said to him after his bike crash in 2017
*What happened when he got a message from Macca to invite him to take part in Super League

Simon Wegerif is a World leading expert on Heart Rate Variability, and how we can use HRV to make our training more effective. Rob saw Simon speak the TrainingPeaks Endurance Coaching Summit 2018, and took the opportunity to get him on the show to see what we can all learn about this relatively new science. In short, HRV gives us an insight into the TOTAL overall stress on our system in an easy to understand metric. As we’ve suspected for years, the science backs up the theory that training stress isn’t the only (or even, the main) source of stress on our bodies - and we find out how, by monitoring HRV, we can get more out of our limited training time. Most importantly, it may well give us information on how we can help avoid illness and injury!

Linsey Corbin went sub 9 hours (8.58:57) to finish 10th at the 2018 Ironman World Championships where she says conditions were "crazy fast." Remarkably it was her 12th time racing there! Linsey comes from a running background and her first Pro race in triathlon was in 2006. Two years later she came 5th at Kona and in 2011 she was 3rd at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. She spent most of 2015 on the sidelines with a fractured femur and questioned if she would ever get back to the top.
This is a fun interview, with some really good advice from Linsey. You'll hear:*The importance of racing your own race.
*Why you don't have to "feel good to go good."
*About the mental tactics she uses to get through a marathon when her legs are "battered" from mile one.
*Why you WILL come back stronger mentally and physically from an injury
*Linsey's views on periods and why having a regular one is a sign of good health
*All about Bend, Oregon and why it is THE place to be!
Helen also has a catch up with Laura Siddall after her recent guest appearance leading a strength and conditioning session at Knutsford Tri Club!

Mikael Eriksson recently won the M25 age group at 70.3 Portugal - in his first 70.3! He has made rapid improvements since completing his first sprint triathlon in early 2015. We hear about his progression in the sport, and learn about the kind of training that has taken him from swimming 2.20 per 100m when he started, to a sub 28 minute swim at 70.3 Portugal. We also learn about his bike training that took him to a 2.21 bike split (on a road bike!) when the winning pro did a 2.15. As well as being a competitive triathlete, Mikael is also a podcaster and triathlon coach. You find out more about him, and can hear his show That Triathlon Podcast, at his website www.scientifictriathlon.com.

This week's interview is simply brilliant as we get an exclusive interview with 2012 Olympic gold medallist Nicola Spirig. In this rare interview, she discusses everything from family life to studying law as well as what it's like to be coached by Brett Sutton and train with Daniela Ryf. The Swiss star is due to have her third child in Spring 2019 but tells us she intends to return for what would be an incredible 5th Olympic Games appearance at Tokyo 2020.
In this interview Nicola Spirig reveals:
*What she REALLY said to Gwen Jorgensen during the run at Rio 2016
*The difference between training alongside Chrissie Wellington and Daniela Ryf
*The reason she split from coach Brett Sutton for six months in 2008
*That she always suffers from pre-race nerves
*Why she was ready to retire after London 2012
*A switching to long distance racing isn’t her long-term goal
*Her thoughts on the prospect of being a mum of 3, competing at a record 5th Olympics in triathlon.

Hywel Davies recently went 8.54 at IM Barcelona to win the M40 category, and was only a minute away from the overall AG win. Hywel has had a long and successful endurance career, having competed at the very top end in races as varied as Man vs Horse, Tough Guy, holder of indoor rowing and treadmill world records, as well as being a low 2.30s marathon runner.

David McNamee finished 3rd at the 2018 Ironman World Championships in a time 8.01.09 - the third fastest time in Hawaii history. It was a great result that made up for his difficult season when illness and mechanicals hit at key times.
Listen to this interview to learn:
*How he overcame self-doubt after a rollercoaster season to arrive in Kona feeling confident of finishing on the podium
*His thoughts on coming 3rd two years running in Hawaii
*The importance of listening to your body when you've been ill.
*His words of wisdom when it comes to Ironman and not quitting "If you come away saying 'I was awful but I gave it everything, then you can walk away feeling proud, but if you quit, then you are always going to quit.'"
*The lessons he learned after walking the last 15km of the marathon at Ironman Austria.
*How his third place finish at the World Championships in 2017 changed his relationship with Jan Frodeno and why the pair no longer train together.
In Coaches Couch this week, you’ll hear Coach Rob talk about strategies for returning back to training when you are struck down with a cold or illness.

On September 2nd 2013 Camilla Pedersen was in the form of her life. She had won the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 European titles earlier that summer and was preparing for the World Championships in Hawaii. The following day she was in an induced coma in hospital, following a crash during her final training ride in Denmark. She remained in a coma for 19 days. Doctors told her she would never walk again, let alone do a triathlon. Remarkably, just a year later, Camilla was crowned ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Champion. This interview goes way beyond swim-bike-run.!
In this interview you’ll hear:
The meaning of mental toughness taken to a whole new level.
More about Camilla’s on-going recovery from a fractured skull in two places, a broken hip, collarbone and ribs.
An important lesson in making sure YOU spend time doing what YOU love
Why you should regularly train with people who will “kick your ass”
About the time Camilla thought Rasmus Henning was a salesman!
And...why Camilla’s English can sometimes be better than her Danish
We also have a short but inspiring interview with age grouper Peter McCleave, who was diagnosed with Myeloma just after completing Ironman Wales in 2016. He's set up the website 10000donors.com to increase the number of stem cell donors, and to help find matches for people who are diagnosed with Myeloma.
In Coaches Couch this week, you’ll hear Coach Rob talk about the importance of regular testing. This week, he covers bike fitness testing - and why knowing what to do with the results of the test is more important than the test result itself. You can find all the details of how to complete your bike fitness testing, and what to do with the results, by watching our free webinar for age-groupers with limited training time, training for Ironman & 70.3 using Team Oxygenaddict’s T.I.M.E.

Liz Blatchford joins us on the podcast this week as she prepares to make her final appearance at the Ironman World Championships before she retires later this year. Liz has been competing in triathlons for 24 years having done her first race at the age of 14! She was born in the UK, grew up in Australia and raced for Australia as a junior, but switched to representing Great Britain when she was 21, with the hope of making the Olympics. Liz missed out on Beijing 2008 and London 2012, but says that helped her make the jump to long-course racing and on towards two podiums at Kona.
In this episode, you'll hear first hand:The harsh reality of missing out on two OlympicsJuggling being a mum and a full-time Ironman athlete.The challenge of returning to racing after pregnancy. "When I was pregnant, I didn't run past 20 weeks and I questioned if I would be able to come back." Blatchford tells us.Why she nearly quit the sport earlier this year "I couldn't walk without pain, I couldn't pick up my daughter and it really wasn't fun. I just thought I didn't need to do this," she says.How she achieved what she thought was impossible - qualifying for Kona 2018. She tells us "In February I had no points and a sacral (lower back) stress fracture and I thought Kona qualification was "just impossible."Her incredible achievement of winning Ironman Philippines on 7 or 8 weeks run training. "The first week of running was 1 minute on, 1 minute off for ten minutes and then 8 weeks on I was meant to be running an Ironman. That was a very daunting task!"*Her thoughts on the exciting women's field at Kona this year and why she thinks Lucy Charles is a future World Champion.
In Coaches Couch this week, you’ll hear Rob talk about why an essential foundation of your training - and one of the pillars of the TIME Training System - is to be honest with yourself when EVALUATING your available training time. Sounds simple. But honestly - are you being honest?!
