The sub 10 hour IRONMAN is considered to be the holy grail of triathlon by many. A true test of endurance and speed, finishing in under 10 hours is no mere stroke of luck or genetics, it requires years of hard work.

In this week's episode I break down some of the attributes required to cross the line in under 10 hours, and share some training tips. It's a bit of a marathon episode, but I hope you enjoy it.

In this week's episode I look at the differences between online and in person triathlon coaching, to help you understand the pros and cons of each. While one is not superior to the other, it is helpful to understand the limitations and benefits of both approaches if you are considering hiring a coach to help you achieve your athletic potential.

In this week's episode I chat to my client David who I have helped get into the best shape of his life racing in the 40-45 age category, despite being in the sport since his mid 20s.

We discuss the race itself, but also all the ingredients that helped him achieve his goals, fitting them around a busy professional and personal life.

In this week's episode I look at the differences between and IRONMAN and 70,3, to help you understand which is the better distance for you to target in 2026.

While there is no hard and fast answer on the best distance, I wanted to challenge the idea that the IRONMAN was the superior event simply because it is longer, and when someone may want to consider focusing on a 70.3, whether they are new to the sport or have already finished Ironman events.
