Bev calls in from Singapore and Tim from Cairns. We review the racing from IRONMAN Cairns and share finish line interviews with both Matt Burton and Hannah Berry.

We share excerpts from Training Peaks CoachCast: Endurance Elasticity with Alex Hutchinson. Alex Hutchinson’s best-selling book “Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance’ in which Alex explores the limits of human endurance, challenging the idea that our physical limitations are predetermined. Through scientific research and stories of extraordinary athletes, Hutchinson delves into the power of the mind-body connection in achieving feats of physical endurance.

Jack Moody, NZ Professional Triathlete, has a reputation as one of the best runners in the sport. After winning Challenge Korea in a time of 7:50 he’s proven he can bike and swim too. We chat to Jack about his day.

Dr Kate Baldwin of Valere Endurance is back to share her expertise on scheduling strength training. We explore how to manage strength training during various phases: injury recovery, performance within racing seasons and off-season development. Plus, we focus on identifying and targeting the weakest aspect of triathlon training—whether it be swimming, biking, or running—and structuring a six-week strength program to address that specific area.

Lastly, we review the racing from the weekend including IRONMAN Hamburg and Challenge Korea.
