In this episode, OMNIA Head Coaches JB and Kieran do something we don't do enough of.

They turn the tables on each other.

No athletes. No programming breakdowns. Just two coaches who've been in the trenches for a combined 20+ years being honest about what they've learned from one another since joining forces at OMNIA.

Kieran drops a line that JB wrote down on his phone the moment he heard it - and it's the kind of thing that'll stick with you long after the episode ends.

They get into why Kieran's cycling block quietly destroyed his running times without adding a single extra run. How plyometrics can be scaled to pretty much any athlete and why most people skip them entirely. And what happens when a coach who spent years working almost exclusively with military athletes suddenly has to communicate very differently.

It's part coaching masterclass, part honest conversation between two people who are still figuring things out.

Which, honestly, is the best kind.

In this week's episode, Craig and Fergus get into turbos, TT bikes, aero helmets, shaved legs, and why spending 20 grand on a Canyon means nothing if you can't hold the position for an hour. Plus: crocodiles in the swim, the Ironman brand debate, and the unglamorous reality of what triathlon actually is. Spoiler: it's mostly laundry.

If you want Craig in your corner for your next race, he has 1:1 coaching spots available now.

In this episode, Fergus catches up with Craig - triathlete, OMNIA Coach, and fellow Scot now based on the Gold Coast. One of them is training in 32-degree heat. The other is on a turbo in Spain.

They cover Craig's rowing background and why he walked away from a potential GB squad spot at 17, the long road from perma-bulk to first Ironman, what it actually means to coach athletes who need pulling back rather than pushing forward, and why doing something for the first time only happens once - so you'd better respect it.

Also: disc wheels, shaved legs, calf sleeves, and the aerodynamics of walking to the shops.

No fluff. Just two coaches who've made most of the mistakes so you don't have to.

Stay tuned for part two.
