The boys (and Sarah) are back behind the mic with updates on their podcasting journey, training life, and a few spicy takes on the state of triathlon. From debating the social media backlash after the Ironman Geelong live stream debacle to breaking down the upcoming IRONMAN 70.3 Port Macquarie qualifiers, nothing’s off limits.

Expect commentary on athletes making the leap from short to long course racing, reflections on past races, and predictions for who’s going to crush it next. There’s also chat about sponsorship dollars (or lack thereof), some pickleball banter (because of course), and a record-breaking Ironman performance that’s still got them buzzing.

Whether you’re here for the triathlon insight or just the chaos, this episode’s got a bit of everything — and probably too much caffeine.

The crew covers it all—tech fails (yes, we forgot to hit record the first time 🙃), training wins, celeb encounters, and the madness of upcoming travel plans.

They unpack what it’s really like racing in Asia vs. Europe, and reflect on how to juggle training, competition, and the rest of life without losing your mind. The boys dive into their own training philosophies, what they personally use, and what they’ve found actually works best when chasing performance and staying consistent.

Also in this ep:
🚭 Kicking bad habits like vaping (or at least trying)
🧠 Mental strategies for running when your legs say no
📈 Social media growth and the pressure of building a profile
🇳🇴 The rise of the Norwegian method and how it’s shifting the endurance world

Plus, the mantras that keep them going:
Sarah yells “I’M A MACHINE!”
Lockie whispers “It’s only temporary.”
Guess which one cries on the inside.

Banter, insight, and just enough chaos — it’s The Unfunded way.

In this milestone 10th episode of The Unfunded, the crew reflects on just how wild it is that they’ve made it this far—especially considering most podcasts don’t make it past episode 3. They dive into the behind-the-scenes journey of starting a pod, the wins, the hurdles, and everything in between.

Producer Sarah steps out from behind the mic to share her entry into the world of triathlon and podcasting, while the crew gives updates on their fitness journeys, coaching, and running escapades. Expect some playful rivalry, plenty of laughs, and deep chats about the state of triathlon—from grassroots events to elite-level racing.

They also unpack the evolution of the sport, short course vs. long course dynamics, and the rise of new talent. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a weekend warrior, or just here for the banter—this episode celebrates sport, community, and sticking with something long enough to see it grow.
