    Welcome back to another Podcast everyone. First of all thanks so much to all of you who have listened, downloaded and left reviews to our Podcast- We really appreciate it! This is still very much early days (as you can probably tell with a few teething problems) and we can't wait to bring you along with us on this journey.In this Podcast we talk to a very good friend of mine, training partner and Professional Triathlete; Sam Pictor. This is a long one so knuckle down for the ride as we have a pretty chilled chat with Sam about how he started this journey, when he realised he had the potential and his future goals. We want to make this Podcast as chill as possible so this is less of an interview and more of a chat with a good mate. We talk about some serious stuff but also have some good banter- we really hope you enjoy this style of podcast. At the end we ask Sam some rather random quick fire questions. We'd love it if you joined in with those.
