Age Group Triathlon Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In our first episode, we chat with one of my clients Greg about his experience in the Ride Across Britain event. After two years racing Ironman, Greg wanted to mix things up and take on a truly epic challenge. Inspired after reading about the event, he asked me to help him train for the challenge. We chat about his training, mindset, nutrition, crashes, torrid weather conditions and much more to give an insight into the world of ultra cycling. For those interested in taking on the challenge themselves, the Ride Across Britain Facebook group is a great place to start: https://www.facebook.com/rideacrossbritain.

In today's episode I chat to one of my athletes James who recently completed his first Ironman in Tenby, the conclusion of a long journey seven years in the making. We discuss sausage rolls, turbo training, making the bike cutoff by 90 seconds, why back of the pack athletes are in a different race to those at the front and how setting an example to his daughter was one of the primary motivators in ensuring he got the job done.

This week we have a very special episode where I interview one of my clients; a police officer and member of CID with 10 years experience, about how we can protect ourselves if we are ever hit by another vehicle while riding. We cover how to report any incidents, whether you can snatch a driver's keys, which details to record following a collision, what your rights to self defence are if things turn ugly, and more, as well as bit about his own training and racing.
