The Triathlon Hour

Today starts hot with people making excuses for bad races being called out! Then we tell you what you should never skip, sometimes skip & always skip in training/life before giving you our most overrated & underrated things in triathlon.
We recap Ironman 70.3 Zell Am See that happened today and finish the show by debating which single triathlete is most likely to win both Nice & Kona this year and if winning them both is even possible. Oh.. and the last 5 minutes of the podcast is probably best thing we’ve ever done (but no spoilers).

The podcast starts today with everyone in the group giving you 2 opinions each that they think you’ll all disagree with, 2 that you’ll agree with and then 2 they think will split opinions and then debate them one by one! 

Then endurance coaching genius Andrew Russell joins us to discuss training psychology, some key sessions, sleep and diet!

The show then finishes with a report on the T100 and how they are ACTUALLY going and whether it's as bad as everyone is saying.

We start the show by discussing our most controversial 2026 triathlon opinions. There is some simply outrageous opinions and plenty of strong feedback for each other. Kristian Blummenfelt, Sam Laidlow, Alex Yee, Hayden Wilde, Australia, Doping, Brett Sutton and so many other crazy topics get debated. 

We then get stuck into picking which people have had better 2026’s so far and why. Plus a whole bunch of training chat, like do long runs matter, is zone 3 better than zone 2, is diet important and much more.

We have come back from our mid year break fresh, rusty, opinionated and ready for a big end to 2026!!!

A little over a week ago Paula won her first ever Ironman at Lake Placid and a few weeks before that Ari won his first ever pro Ironman 70.3 + they’ve both been on podiums in their last 3 races SO Jack sat down with them both at the same time to get all of their training, racing & life updates.

Paula & Ari must have been in good moods because they divulged some secret Ironman training that we'd never about heard before and both of them gave us lots of strong opinions on a wide range of topics in the triathlon world. This one was amazing and we hope you enjoy it!
