This is a fabulous conversation with a fabulous woman. Germany's Fiona Kolbinger surprised everyone - not least herself - when she won the Transcontinental Race outright in 2019. The young Doctor covered around 4,000km in ten days, to become the first ever female winner of the epic event. But there's a lot more to Fiona than an incredible ability to endure very long days on a bike. You'll hear: 15:20 About her first cycle touring experience when she had never heard of chamois cream and wore knickers under her bib shorts 40:10 Just how much she had ridden before the TCR, when she was trying to combine cycling with her final year medical exams 1:09:45 How she coped with sleeping rough, smelling and a lack of sleep 57:44 Her thoughts on being the first female winner and why she considered getting a drugs test done 1:05:00 How she put herself off Snickers for a while after eating 50 of them in the first two days.

Dr Rebecca Robinson - Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine and Medical Doctor and former pro triathlete Dr Tamsin Lewis join me this week, to talk about returning to training after covid, dealing with Long Covid, plus advice on training around the Coronavirus vaccination. You'll hear: 37.50 Getting back to sport. "It's often mind over matter with a lot of athletes, but with covid if you push through there is a massive pay back. You have to celebrate the small wins. " 43:44 Dr Rebecca Robinson's wise words for returning to training. "Don't get carried away, it's keeping progress gentle and slow." 44:25 Advice for training around getting the Covid-19 vaccination 48:50 Tamsin speaks about dealing with Long Covid, as an endurance athlete: "It's forced me to confront stillness and sit with anxieties and fears and traumas and ultimately that will make me a better human" 51:35 Tamsin talk about shifting your goals if you're still dealing with the effects of Coronavirus: "If you have long covid symptoms, allow yourself 3-6 months to recover. You have to be shifting your goals because endurance exercise is a stress and your body has gone through a massive stress with covid." Plus we catch up with the amazing Luke Grenfell-Shaw Luke talks about having to pause his ride due to Covid and then re-starting it in the summer of 2020. He is full of wise words and it's amazing to hear about his journey on Chris, the tandem. 10:10 When Covid forced Luke to change his plans: "It's harder to accept something when there is no other option. I had a choice about how I wanted to use that time and I didn't want to waste it. 11:58 Luke talks about starting his 'https://www.bristol2beijing.org/podcast (Facing Up/Bristol to Beijing' podcast) 12:17 I've become interested in how some people can face a challenge and then pick themselves up and turn a challenge into an opportunity, and that's the nub of the Facing Up Podcast. 14:20 Luke really helped me to change my mindset a bit on days when I'm not feeling too happy: "Wallowing in self pity and grief means that you are going to be unhappy for that period."

She's played for Brian May, she's been involved in the Queen's Christmas Broadcast, she's been a Paraclimbing World Champion, she's had to re-learn how to walk and she's taught herself how to run. If that isn't enough, she's also a Paratriathlon World Champion. Yet this still only scratches the surface of the remarkable British Paratriathlete, Fran Brown. You'll hear: 07:45 Her amazing and very varied background in music and sport 16:25 How she went about re-learning how to walk and stand, following her spinal cord injury when she was working as a lighting technician in the West End. 22:50 Fran explains how she returned to climbing, even though she thought it was impossible and how she progressed to being multiple World Champion "I started climbing again, even though I thought it was impossible at the time" 32:30 How a talent ID day at British Triathlon opened the doors for Fran. I was swimming, I was cycling and I thought 'running can't be that hard' 34:30 The measures Fran went to in order to teach herself how to run. "Try it, film it. I can't learn by feeling, I have to learn by watching" I can walk very fast or I can run but I'm too imbalanced to go at that in between speed. I fell over loads basically. "I was on the team for 2 years before I could run a 5km without a walk break" 40:33 Her hatred of the words can't or shouldn't. "If I think there is a tiny chance I can, I will still try. What's the worst that can happen?" 46:15 Her Paralympic hopes, even though she hasn't been in a pool for a year because she is on the clinically vulnerable list. My focus is training and it gives me the structure I need. 51:40 Being diagnosed with Crohn's disease and having surgery in August 2020 and a stoma fitted. "As much as I didn't want a stoma fitted initially, it's actually really helped." "Define bad. I see it as a challenge I can learn from."

We catch up with British professional Fenella Langridge who always has a smile on her face and lives with her coach and partner Billy in her Mum's pub in the south of England. Fenella admits she can be quite shy but she's loads of fun when you get chatting to her and she has a heart of gold. She finished 7th at Challenge Daytona in 2020 and she trains in the pool in Bath alongside Olympian Vicky Holland and fellow pro India Lee. Away from triathlon, Fenella loves spending time in the kitchen, wouldn't mind going on Bake Off and is passionate about craft work. You'll hear 04:22 How she's finding being in the UK over the winter for the first time in five years. 09:15 Her talk about her 7th place finish at Challenge Daytona and her incredible finish line celebrations (see cover art!) "This is really real. I'm actually finishing a race and I've come 7th" It wasn't just about the finish, but the two years going into it." 12:05 Fenella's GREAT on finding the early part of the season in the UK a bit tough. "I think need a finish line at the end of every day at the moment, to celebrate getting through another day . you're able to eat your dinner without falling asleep into it. 13:25 Talks about the team around her. "I'm the feeder, so I take that responsibility and I'm proud of that" 17:05 We talk about Fenella's love of crafts and baking 19:38 Fenella on relaxing and recovery. "It has taken a lot to just sit down and do nothing. If you need that mental release, then going out for a walk is fine, but if you need to recover for the next session, get your arse on that sofa and sit down. Accepting it and knowing it's the right thing to do and it's part of what we have chosen to do" 26:17 We talk about how Fenella brings Strength and Conditioning into her training programme "It's always been a key part of our training and that's been really present with Billy and his principles. At the end of the day if you want to be fast, you have to be strong and powerful. It's even more prevelent for older athletes for general health and bone health. We do two sessions a week and then a general session too. " 41:47 We touch on finances "I think I've broken even this year. It's not a lucrative career to be in" Find out more about this week's guest - Fenella Langridge Fenella Langridge https://www.instagram.com/fenella.alicia/?hl=en (Instagram) Like what you heard?

Sarah True is just a wonderful human being. Simple. I have so much respect for her and it was glorious to actually sit down over a cup of water and have a good natter. You'll hear: 07:00 Why she's been back at school this year as she prepares for her career after triathlon and why she's applying for a doctorate in clinical psychology "As you get older it's hard to anticipate what you are going to want to do. Where I thought I was going to be ten years from now is totally different to where I am and I am so grateful that I've had the time to do that."

Endurance cyclist and adventurer Mark Beaumont joins Helen this week. In 2017 Mark broke the world record for cycling around the world, taking 78 days. Helen gets beyond the normal questions and answers with Mark and really finds out what makes him tick. You'll hear: 17:25 the idea of identity and individuality and encouraging youngsters to pursue their passions and not feel like they HAVE to conform. "That ability to commit to the things that interest you is far more important than the specifics of the sport you did" 27:25 Mark talks really well about the feeling of a void at a finish point of a big expedition or adventure and the greatest emotion of getting there is 'a bloody relief'. "The elation and happiness is often given for those around you so I find the finish line bizarre. Maybe it's too much." 28:15 When you finish a challenge, you don't change, but you quite often change in the eyes of other people and I don't think that helps you return to normality 34:49 If you don't have periods in your life, when you have a natural flow of arrows going in and arrows going out, I think you can end up a pretty unhappy person, because I think you lose that purpose and that connection in life. 35:34 If you are having a bad day, you're feeling sorry for yourself, things are going wrong, just do something that makes the arrows go back out the other way. 40:30 How do you cycle around the world in 80 days? "All that matters is ruthless consistency" 33:08 We talk about the idea of loneliness on long challenges. "It's ultimately a huge amount of time in your own head." 46:05 Sleep deprivation, cognitive function and emotions during long, record breaking endurance feats. "I definitely saw sides of my character that I didn't know existed" 50:10 - What's the Mark like on his adventures compared to the Mark with his mates or with his kids 53:23 We find out which stretch of road in the world Mark would most like to ride again and what's coming out of his headphones Find out more about this week's guest - Mark Beaumont Mark Beaumont https://www.instagram.com/mrmarkbeaumont/?hl=en (Instagram) Mark on https://twitter.com/MrMarkBeaumont (Twitter) Mark Beaumont https://markbeaumontonline.com/ (website) Mark's new book - https://shop.globalcyclingnetwork.com/endurance-how-to-cycle-further-book (How to cycle further) Like what you heard?

Malindi Elmore joins us this week to talk about her incredible athletic and coaching career and being on the brink of a surprise qualification for the Tokyo Olympics in the marathon. The Canadian, who turned 40 in 2020, competed at the 2004 Olympics in the 1500m, before retiring from athletics in 2012. She dabbled in triathlon to get fit after giving birth to her first son and soon found herself racing in the pro ranks and going sub 9 hours on her Ironman debut in 2016. She retired from triathlon after having her second son in June 2018, before deciding to have a crack at the marathon. It's an awesome interview with an awesome woman. You'll hear: 09:36 Why she was just happy to run with no expectations after giving birth to her second child 11:20 I'd run an hour with my friends at 5min/km and I'd have to stop for a breather. 12:18 Her favourite quote that training builds fitness, but it doesn't prove it 18:28 Her first thoughts when she crossed the line of her first marathon was to find her son and breastfeed him 34:14 Malindi is also a top running coach and I ask her what advice she gave to her athletes regarding the uncertainty of 2020 42:20 We talk about the lack of elite female running coaches 51:10 The fact it makes her chuckle that she is on the brink of going to the Olympics again Find out more about this week's guest - Malindi Elmore Malindi Elmore https://www.instagram.com/malindielmore (Instagram) Malindi Elmore https://www.malindielmore.com/ (website) Malindi Elmore https://twitter.com/malindielmore (Twitter) Like what you heard?

Dan Lorang's been labelled as 'The World's best Long Course coach." He guided both Jan Frodeno and Anne Haug to the Ironman World Championship title in 2019. Listen carefully - he might be softly spoken but he has some real nuggets in this chat. He also seems to be one of the World's nicest people too and it was such pleasure to chat to him. You'll hear: 06:20 How Anne Haug and Jan Frodeno have dealt with 2020 differently 'it was not so hard for her to have not competed but for Jan he is a racer and he needs to be back on the start line soon' 11:50 How he got into coaching and how he started to coach 2019 Ironman World Champion Anne Haug when they met at University. "I want to do triathlon, I have no clue how to do it." She said. "Ok, I have to learn how to make training plans, so we can try together. And that was how it started. It's a really long-term athlete/coach relationship, for sure something special." 15:20 "I'd never have dreamt to have two world champions at the same time" 22:08 When he met Jan and started to work with him and why their athlete/coach partnership works. 'When things aren't going as he wants, he would shout around and as a young coach, with a completely different character, you'd stand there and say nothing and just look and learn and say nothing.' 30:26 The hardest time for him as a coach, when his athlete Sarah True collapsed less than 1km before the finish line at Ironman Frankfurt. 35:30 His role as Head Coach and BORAhansgrohe cycling team and what it's like working with Peter Sagan. 36:35 Why the boss of BORAhansgrohe got a tattoo of Peter Sagan on his ankle 41:58 Athletes are always looking at trying to find something different but I think you can come really far if you get the basics right. I'm a big fan of doing the basics right. 44:00 We talk about knowing your body "the most important feedback is from the athlete and how they felt in a session or a race."

Dave Scott is a 6x Ironman World Champion and I thought this interview was going to be all about mindset and a winning mentality. What evolved was a completely unexpected conversation about depression. You'll hear: 20:40 "All the way through my 20s and when I was competing, I wrestled with depression and the depression that I had would consume me sometimes. I had many periods when this depression would manifest itself." 31:08 "I thought if I was depressed, that is a huge psychological weakness and there is no way I can race Ironman and win it again. It scared me that I could never dig myself out of it, because really it was just denial." 34:10 Dave offers some advice to stay focussed in a race: "Do what you can do in the moment, be in the present." 42:08 Dave gives his reaction to losing the World Championships in 1989 to Mark Allen, in Iron War. "I was mad! I hated losing that race." 52:48 Dave Scott reveals who he believes to have the best winning mind sets in triathlon and why.

Mirinda 'Rinny' Carfrae is a 3x Ironman World Champion. She has an impressive record at the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, with 6 podium finishes from 7 attempts. She also holds the run course record at the Ironman world championships, with a swift 2.50.26 from her win in 2014. After becoming a mum in 2017, she returned to the World Championships in 2018 and finished 5th. In this conversation we focus on juggling motherhood and life as a professional triathlete as Mirinda and husband Tim O'Donnell prepare for the birth of their second child. You'll hear: 16:27 The start of the interview with Rinny 19:14 Rinny explains that when races were cancelled due to Covid-19, it seemed like the ideal time to try for a second baby. 23:44 We feel like social media influencers and not athletes at the moment because we can't showcase our skills on the racecourse 26:28 Partners and sponsors are seeing the value of professional mums also being athletes, but 10-15 years ago, there was 'no chance' and you'd be taken off the roster. 31:06 Until you're a mother, you don't really understand what it's like to juggle 5 hour rides and the mum guilt that comes with it. 35:38 We talk about breastfeeding and competing 'there's a bit of extra pain that you have to deal with towards the end of the bike and on the run' 37:27 Mirinda explains how they postponed the awards ceremony at Ironman Cairns to allow her to breastfeed Izzy. 40:25 I remember thinking 'I'm never going to get back to where I was but Rachel Joyce told me to focus on where I was, week on week.' You can't help but think 'that mountain is quite steep, but there is no point in beating yourself up about it.' 45:33 Racing was number 1, but now it's number 3 or 4 after family, health and happiness.

Think you need all the gear to go faster? Think again! In this episode, learn how to spend smarter and go faster on a bike this week, with expert bike fitter Mike Taylor. If you've ever struggled with saddle sores or a numb penis, if you're debating whether you should buy a time trial bike or if you want to know how to really keep your bike clean, but you've never wanted to ask, then this is the episode for you! The amazing Mike Taylor joins me to talk about: 11:44 Become a bike fitting specialist over a year ago 12:56 "The biggest barrier to most people doing long distance stuff is their position" 15:25 "My aim when I go into a bike fit is to make someone faster, more aerodynamic, more powerful and WAY more comfortable" 17:51 "Once you're above 25 mph, the key to speed is aerodynamics" 19:48 "I wouldn't build a super aero position for someone trying to go from 25kph to 28 kph, there's just no point. What you need to do is open up their power and allow them to maintain it for hours on end" 20:26 "It's like we see people turning up with disc wheels and their output is 17-18mph. If it makes them feel good, fine, but it's not making them go faster." 21:02 Helen asks Mike: 'What is the best investment to go quicker?' 23:53 Helen asks Mike: 'Do you need a time trial bike to do triathlon?' 27:30 "Learning how to check your chain is the best gift I can give to the triathlon and cycling community" 28:28 Mike talks about the ideal tyre pressure 31:20 Helen asks Mike: 'How do you clean a bike properly?' 33:35 "It is possible to be comfortable on a saddle" 36:18 "Athletes are still super quick, but in agony" 37:19 "I'm always blown away by how much discomfort a lot of female athletes put up with because they think that's what cycling is." 37:35 "With male athletes, you can have penile numbness and there are so many horrible things that people put down as normal and it really isn't. You get a good saddle and you don't even think about it." 42:08 "You can get some real issues around shorts and chamois" 44:14 Talks about doing a bike fit remotely with Meredith Kessler Find out more about this week's guest Mike Taylor website (http://bike-fit.co.uk/) Mike Taylor Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/iambikefit/) Mike Taylor Twitter (https://twitter.com/iambikefit) Also this week... 03:12 Dan Braddock from Shrewsbury Tri shares his 'Tri Sharing Wisdom'.

I have oodles of respect for Canada's Rach McBride for doing this interview. Rach is an incredible triathlete and a really educated and interesting person who you can talk to on so many levels, whether you want to chat triathlon, genetics, music or anything else. Rach also identifies as gender non-binary. That means they don't identify as male or female. Or put another way, they don't follow other people's ideas or stereotypes about how they should look or act, based on the sex they were assigned at birth. It is an emotional listen, it is a powerful episode, but I truly believe we can only understand more about other people by talking to them, allowing them to speak out and listening to their stories. I hope this helps Rach and so many others. Find out more about this week's guest Rach McBride website (https://www.rachelmcbride.com/)   Rach McBride Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/rachelmcb/) This is also worth looking at too (https://transequality.org/issues/resources/understanding-non-binary-people-how-to-be-respectful-and-supportive) - hopefully it will all help us to be more understanding of others.

If you have ever been at war with your body If you have ever been afraid of taking on a challenge because of what others might think If you were picked last in PE when you were at school If you’ve got to grips, you’re getting to grips or you’ve never got to grips with open water swimming or running, or cycling,  If you just want a bit of a feel-good giggle Then the Inside Tri Show with Reverend Kate Bottley is for you. BBC radio presenter and former Goggle Box star Rev Kate Bottley says she is evangelical about two things: Jesus and Open Water swimming. And while wild swimming has given the 45-year-old Vicar more confidence, she says she was still ‘at war with her body’ when she agreed to do Dare2Tri - three triathlons in three days for Comic Relief in March 2020 (https://www.sportrelief.com/challenges/dare2tri) . Before signing up the challenge, Kate had never run in public, ridden a bike or swum in a wetsuit. This a really uplifting interview, full of giggles, honesty about body image and reassurance that it’s ok to feel a bit sad and miserable at the moment.

Interview timeline (this is the interview, not the whole show) Claire talks about recently leaving hospital following her spinal cord injury and that the decision was quite a sudden one. “I had thought it would be really tricky and the lack of 24/7 care being taken away, but my sister and brother in law have been amazing. To know that you can cope on your own is the best thing. So in terms of my self-worth, that’s huge. To have got to the point that where I don’t need anyone to do anything for me is brilliant. When the accident happened, I couldn’t do anything for myself but now I can and it’s just the best feeling. 4.00 Claire talks about how her life changed 7 months ago. I was out on my bike, like I was every day and I came around a corner and there was a tractor there but I couldn’t do anything about it. Stuart, a family friend, was the first person on the scene. He is a retired anaesthetist and called the air Ambulance. I think they had to revive me a few times on the day. Apparently I was conscious the whole way and talking. When I got to...

It was such an honour to interview British fell runner Nicky Spinks for this episode. Nicky is a 53-year old wife, British farmer and she loves a good curry. Sounds pretty normal, doesn’t it? So let’s try that sentence again. Nicky is a 53-year old record breaking British ultra-distance runner who is the overall record holder for the Double Bob Graham round, became the first person EVER to complete doubles of the Paddy Buckley and Charlie Ramsey round too… That was AFTER being diagnosed with Breast cancer at the age of 39. Oh and she still hopes to become the first woman ever to finish the Barkley Marathons. In short, she’s pretty flippin’ amazing and it was a real treat to talk to her. You'll hear: *A long interview with Nicky about her background in running and farming, why office life wasn’t for her, why she is chomping at the bit to return to the Barkley Marathons, how she forms her support team, how she survives on ten minutes sleep over three days, how she vowed never to do another race after her first ever 10km, her love of spicy curry, how she got into skydiving, the impact cancer has had on her life and outlook and why she almost ditched the double Bob Graham round attempt before she had even left the car park. *An update from British triathlete David McNamee (http://www.davidmcnamee.co.uk/) , who is on lock down in Girona. He talks about the impact the restrictions are having on him, why he’s following the rules to a T, why Magnums are the new croissants...And trying to run on his 7m balcony. Like the show?

My aim is to pop a smile on your face this week, as well as help you through being stuck inside during the Coronavirus. You'll hear: *An update from David McNamee (http://www.davidmcnamee.co.uk/) , who is on lock down in Girona. He gives a fascinating insight into his training, his day to day life, the harsh reality of what's going on around him. Plus the latest on his croissant intake, his Catalan learning and his chamois cream supplies. *An interview with Michelle Vesterby (https://www.michellevesterby.com/) . The Dane came 4th at the Ironman World Championships in Kona in 2015 and last year, she raced at Ironman Copenhagen just 3 months after giving birth to her son. If you’ve ever seen interviews with Michelle, or watched her race in person, you’ll know she often has a grin on her face too. She lives by the motto “Keep Smiling,“ which we talk about a lot. Part of it goes back to her older brother, who sadly died at the age of 26, but she says he always used to smile and be happy. So we talk about mindset, positivity and trying not to worry. *The most incredible piece of writing in audio form, which might ease your worries and some of your anxieties at the moment if you can't get outdoors.

In the space of a few days the way we live our lives has totally changed. Our short term future suddenly feels very much up in the air and there's huge long-term uncertainty too. For many, worrying about races and triathlon goals has become almost irrelevant. Your health and that of those around you or figuring out how you might pay the mortgage in a couple of month's time becomes far more significant than whether you'll get the sh*ts during an Ironman. But for some, triathlon is their livelihood. It's how they make a living, indeed how they pay their mortgage. For others, endurance sport is their key to staying sane. Training is their socialising. Their local triathlon club is their family. Goals give focus and purpose to their day to day life. But suddenly, when all of that is taken away, life becomes very very different. In this episode you'll hear: *Sports Psychologist Evie Serventi (https://www.evieserventi.com/) who has some great advice on trying to get your head around recent events, staying calm, finding new opportunities and learning to enjoy the process of training again *2x Kona Podium finisher, send him your photos (https://www.instagram.com/davidmcnameetri/) to motivate him and p*ss him off!!! *For up and coming professional Tom Davis (https://www.instagram.com/tom_davis1995) , no racing means less income. He's having to consider whether he will he have to move back in with his parents. *And Race organiser and coach Dermott Hayes from Be endurance (http://beendurance.com/) gives us the view from a small race organiser and full time coach. With camps, training and races cancelled, he's concerned about the next few months and also explains why refunds aren't always possible for small race organisers and why they are going virtual with their cancelled "Storm the Castle" duathlon.

British triathlete Hannah Moore had a routine procedure for an ingrowing toenail when she was 15, but it triggered a rare, condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that made her life a misery for four years. She couldn’t walk, was in pain on a daily basis and eventually chose and paid to have her leg amputated.  Hannah is now part of the GB Paratriathlon team and even though she only did her first ever triathlon in 2017, she’s since become 2x World Champion and has high hopes of competing at a Paralympics one day.

It was after trying a few different sports, I came across a few people who had done paratriathlon and I thought ‘wow, that’s amazing’ but it was one of those things that I wanted to do, but I had to put aside and it was only after I got my leg amputated that I decided to give it a go. 1.00 Why did you have to have your leg amputated?

Non Stanford has been involved in and surrounded by sport for her entire life. She was destined for big things on the track and was 3x Welsh Schools 1500m champion, before being mentored by Dame Kelly Holmes. But injuries took their toll and Non made a successful transition into triathlon. She moved to Leeds and in 2012, she was crowned U23 World Champion. Just a year later, she became ITU World Champion. But Non has had her fair share of ups and downs since. 2014 was wiped out by injury, in 2016, she finished 4th behind GB teammate Vicky Holland at the Rio Olympics. At the end of 2018 Non left the Leeds set up to join Joel Filliol’s squad. She won WTS Hamburg in 2019, before having knee surgery at the end of the year which put her hopes of a second Olympics in doubt. You’ll hear: *Non open up about the disappointed after the Rio Olympics and ‘not dealing with it’ at the time *How she considered jacking it all in *The key thing she has learnt from Joel Filliol “You don’t need to push really hard in training to race well” *The downside of pressure and being a perfectionist *Her love for Geraint Thomas (as well as fiancee Aaron Royle, obvs), Taylor Swift doc and her Grandma’s welsh cakes Like what you heard?

Can you still get excited about getting out of the door for training and taking care of the little details off the bike for example. Five more years would be great, that would take me to 42 and if I could continue to get support and I still have the passion, I would love that. But seeing that end makes me more appreciative of all of the components. 5.45 Talks about Richie Cunningham and Chris Lee and how he trained a lot with them when he was in his early 30s and they were on the brink of retiring ‘overall the one message that I get from most people when they reach that stage is do this for as long as you can because we don’t always understand how great of a job it really is. That said, it can be a grind and it sometimes can be like any other job’ 7.45 Do a lot of pro triathletes glorify it all on Instagram? “I do think it would be nice if we were a little bit more open about the parts of it that weren’t so awesome all of the time but it’s about that line and how much you decide to let people into your life.” We go on to talk about who does the posting on Instagram.   11.15 What does ‘an attitude of gratitude’ mean to him?

When Imogen Simmonds went off to study geology at University, she thought she’d end up working in a high-flying office job, bringing in a regular salary and doing her bit for the environment. But spending a few weeks on a triathlon training camp in Thailand gave her other ideas and she soon swapped the idea of office attire for Lycra and set out to become a professional triathlete. In 2019 she had a real breakthrough year, not only did she come second on her Ironman debut at the European Championships in Frankfurt to qualify for Kona, she surprised many by finishing 3rd at the Ironman 70.3 World champs in Nice.

That term encapsulates both the challenges and uncertainties that someone living with cancer will face on a daily basis but also the positive message that you can survive with cancer and this ride is all about showing people what is possible with a cancer diagnosis. 3.30 Talks about being diagnosed with cancer in June 2018, while he was teaching English in Siberia. Prior to his diagnosis, he was in the peak of his health, at peak fitness. He was 24 and he had just done his first ultra marathon, in the Ural mountains. Within 48 hours he was back in the UK for tests and a few weeks later, the doctors told him he had cancer. 5.15 ‘What really blew me away was that it was stage 4 cancer.  The primary tumour had spread to my lungs and every certainty and every aspect of this conventional, comfortable life that I had lived just crumbled.

"I know I’m nowhere near the levels of where I was when I was qualifying for the Olympics or winning a World Triathlon series, I’ve just not had enough time, but I’ve been training since Max was a month old , so in 7 months, and I am happy with where I have got to." 01.15 I had to commit to a goal, I had to commit to something. I was just training and doing bits and and pieces. Without a goal, say the kids had had a rough night and I was tired, I’d be like ‘ah, I won’t go swimming this morning’ but with that goal, I have to go and do it. 01.50 I’m nervous about the distance and where my fitness is. I stopped training with Max at 16 weeks and I literally did half an hour a day and it wasn’t every day and I just don’t know where I am in terms of fitness. 03.00 If you went to a World Series and you were really fit and you came 30th, you’d be really disappointed. If you went to a World Series and you were aiming to win and you came third but had a really good performance, you’d still be relatively happy. But with this race and the new distance, if I just finish it, I think I will be relatively happy.

This is the remarkable story of how triathlon has completely transformed Renee Kiley (http://reneekiley.com/) 's life. In 2014, the Australian came 252nd in her first ever sprint distance triathlon. “I pretty much walked the 5km”  she says. In 5.5 years, Renee has gone from weighing 104kg, with alarming blood pressure readings to racing in the pro ranks. Long gone are the long, boozy Friday lunches, the 7 day working weeks in the office and the daily packet of cigarettes! We go pretty deep in the interview, but Renee is ridiculously open and honest and she reveals she still struggles with her body image. You'll hear: *The 'lightbulb moment' that made her start to change her life around *How she ran on the treadmill and avoided the pool at busy times when she first started exercising, for fear of what others would say *The lessons she's taken from the business world into the triathlon domain and vice versa *Her struggles with body image and disordered eating Like what you heard?

That was the ideal Friday about 6 years ago. 01.25 Today (Friday) was I woke up at 0540am because that’s the body clock now, then did the house work, came home and had a coffee and then got ready for this interview. 02.00 There are still moments where I have memories and I think ‘wow, my life has changed a lot’. 02.40 2012/2013 I was at the height of my unhealthiness, I was running a successful business which I had been growing since 2007 and I was obsessed with work. But now in hindsight I realise I was unhappy and unhealthy. So 2012, I was in the office 7 days a week, I would sleep in a bit on a Saturday and Sunday but I would still go to the office. And my business partner came up to me at some point in 2012 and he said ‘I don’t care what you do next week, but you are not coming in to the office, you need a break.’ So I booked myself into a health retreat and it was just to de-stress. 05.35 I remember when you got there, they did a series of health checks on you and my heart rate got to 155 beats on a bike just turning the pedals for a few minutes, they weighed me and I was 104kg (16 stone)...

Back in 2010, Jake Birtwhistle earmarked the Tokyo Olympics as his year. The Australian was 15 years old at the time and hadn’t yet fully committed to triathlon. A decade on and the now 25-year-old heads into the Olympic year as one of the World’s best triathletes. He counts the likes of Mario Mola and Vincent Luis amongst his training partners and in 2019 he picked up his first victory on the WTS circuit, with a win in Leeds. You wouldn’t want Jake chasing you down off the bike in Tokyo - this star comes from a strong running background and was crowned Australian junior champion 11 times over middle-long distance events.

My coach was setting me swimming and biking as cross training as he didn’t want me to do too much running and that progressed really naturally to get me into triathlons just for fun. When I was 18 I decided I was going to commit to triathlon, and stop proper running training. I still enjoyed running, but I would have had to really step it up and do a lot more miles and drop off with the biking and swimming, but I enjoyed it too much to stop and I was optimistic that I could be quite good at triathlon as well. 03:30 My running coach would still say I could have been a really great runner, but looking back I know I made the right choice for me.

2012 Ironman World Champion Pete Jacobs (http://petejacobs.com/) is a fascinating person to both interview and listen to.  Pete was originally a landscape gardener before he became a professional athlete at the age of 21. He won in Kona when he was 30, by which point he had done an incredible 30 Ironman races, including finishing 2nd in 2011 and recording the 3rd fastest marathon in the race’s history with a 2h41m05 in 2010.    After 2012, he was very public about his on-going battle with fatigue, something he has dealt with since he was a teenager. He’s had loads of tests done and he has tried various different diets to reduce inflammation from foods and he is currently a strict carnivore – his diet is JUST meat. You'll hear: *Why training LESS helped him to become World Champion *If a meat only diet leaves him constipated *His advice for staying mentally strong and focussed on good run technique during the run leg of a triathlon. *His hopes to get back to the pointy end of racing. You can make your own mind up about whether you agree with what he says or not, but the message to take from it is we are all different and the training and diet that works for one person, might not be right for you and comparing yourself to others is pretty pointless.

But the conditions were good and the motorbike filming in front at some points, enabled some good drafting from it, which helped me a little bit and we were taking it in turns, so we were sharing the work.” 03:41 Would it not annoy you if you were further back and you weren’t behind the motorbike? “It would annoy me if I was further back, but it is a part of the race and if you expect there will be a motorbike in front, then it’s your responsibility to get there and take advantage of it. As long as you are just riding straight forward, you can’t really blame the cyclists either, so you are just riding there and if you have a motorbike 10 or 12m in front, it’s a part of the game too.” 04:30 How did you feel coming off the bike? “We had a tail wind on the way back and I was feeling good, even better than some of the other guys and I almost felt like I was going through two hours of cycling, almost without getting any fatigue.  I felt good in the last part, so I was expecting to feel fresh going into the run and I got an easy gap going out of T2 and I knew that for every km I was doing 3.10 per km, I was putting at least 10s into the guys.” 05:50 on going for a 1.06 run.  “This year I was running inside the comfort zone, without really taking any risks. I think I could have gone faster on the run, but... Support this podcast

We started to date each other and he always tried to get me to do some harder, faster stuff. On our first date, he made me run up some stairs. We did go for dinner afterwards too.   He told me I was always pushing on the bike and going too hard on the bike and he made me do some tests to prove it and then he started to write me a training plane.  I did less than when I was coached by myself. 12:00 On sticking to Philipp’s training plan, I became faster and faster and I have never questioned his training again and we have both grown too.  I was his first little...

If they are injured they might add a 7th or 8th swim in or put a couple of double swims in. There is a session in each week which ticks one of the mental, physiological or mechanical demands of race day of what they have to deliver on race day. We would either split lanes on ability or necessity of what someone is working on, so we might have more of a speed or strength orientated set. 0:06:45 explains what a typical day looks like for him as a coach 0:07:55 Adam explains the nature of the swim squad at Loughborough. 0:08:30 talks through the land based conditioning room, that athletes often go into 15 minutes before their swim session. 0:09:20 George reflects on his swim session and explains what he eats before and after swimming 0:10:45 Interview with Jonathan Riall – Head Coach of the British Paratriathlon programme. Explains the idea behind Thursday Breakfast club, which they have held every Thursday since 2014- it’s an opportunity for everyone to get together, integrate some of the younger athletes and builds good relationships. 0:14:30 explains why George does a lot of his training with the Olympic programme, rather than the para tri programme. 0:16:00 Talks about the guides and how much bringing the guides in has helped everyone to raise their game. 0:16:40 perceptions and funding has changed massively since London 2012.  In the past para sport was almost treated like a charity...
