In the final episode of the year, I'm reflecting on my reading (in general), sharing my top 10 favourite reads of 2025, as well as five books that didn't quite work for me. None of these are ranked in any particular order as I talk through them, until we reach the read I loved the most, a novel I feel has been ignored by many and is massively underrated. It's been a year of highs and lows, with numerous books that captured my attention and reminded me why I love reading so much. At the same time, there were a handful of reads that served as a reminder of how much I wish I had allowed myself to DNF more often instead of pushing through when they were clearly not the book for me. Now is a time of reflection, and over the last few weeks, I've spent some time looking ahead to 2026 and reflecting on how my relationship with reading is changing. Rather than setting a long list of strict reading goals, I am approaching the new year with a much gentler mindset. I want 2026 to be a year focused on enjoyment, flexibility and living in the moment where books are concerned, without feeling the need to plan every reading decision down to the smallest detail. So, take a seat, pour yourself something to toast with, and enjoy the last episode of 2025... Featured Episodes Brat: An '80s Story The Names Paradise

After a tough DNF at UTMB and a redeeming finish at the Tesla Hertz 100-miler, Brad shares the major shifts he's made to his training philosophy. The theme for this winter block is "Keep It Simple". We dive into stripping away the over-complicated data, fixing chronic stomach issues by simplifying nutrition, and the specific run/walk strategy Brad is using to target a sub-24-hour finish at the upcoming Long Haul 100. Brad also opens up candidly about mental health, the pressures of social media, and balancing life as a dad.In this episode, I discuss:The "Keep It Simple" Approach: Why Brad stopped obsessing over rigid schedules and started training by feel to maximize volume.Nutrition Overhaul: How switching to a water-heavy, low-sodium, and gel-based strategy finally solved years of nausea and GI issues.Rethinking "Easy" Runs: Why running too slow was holding back fitness and how finding the right intensity within Zone 2 has led to a massive fitness boost.The 18/2 Strategy: Breaking down the 18-minute run / 2-minute walk strategy for flat 100-milers to manage fatigue and maintain pace.Data-Driven Tapering: Using TrainingPeaks "Form Score" to avoid the "flat" feeling of a traditional taper.Mental Health & Identity: Navigating social media changes, dealing with follower loss after a DNF, and prioritizing family over "FOMO" events.

Send us a textThis week on the Agegroup Multisport Podcast, we're joined by the incredible Jo O'Regan—a world-class runner turned Ironman powerhouse with one of the most refreshingly honest journeys in endurance sport.Jo's story starts on the roads, where she built an elite marathon career: wins at Chester, New Forest, and Edinburgh, podium finishes at Manchester, a top-5 at London, and a blistering 2:40 PB at the 2022 London Marathon. She ran for England and earned an invite to the Kew Gardens Olympic Trials—only for injury to pull the rug out at the peak of her running form.What came next changed everything.Forced to pivot, Jo threw herself into swimming, then cycling, and by late 2021 signed up for her first ever triathlon—Ironman Vitoria-Gasteiz. She didn't just finish… she came 3rd, qualified for Kona, and caught the Ironman bug hard (despite imposter syndrome, no TT bike, and zero triathlon experience).We dive into the mindset shift from pure runner to all-round triathlete, dealing with setbacks and mechanicals (including a heartbreaking DNF at Roth), and leaning into strengths while owning weaknesses. Jo also shares her unique and fearless approach to swimming, racing long-distance triathlons entirely breaststroke—clocking a 1:14 swim at Outlaw and 1:19 non-wetsuit at Kona.This episode is about resilience, reinvention, and rewriting the rules of what “doing it right” in triathlon really means. If you've ever felt like an imposter, struggled with injury, or wondered if it's too late to pivot—this one's for you.Follow Jo on Instagram - @jo_oregan_runsYou Can Follow us  onYouTube - AMP GBInstagram @amp_podcastFacebook : Richard Joseph Conwayfind all our episodes on our websiteWebsite is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.comIf you are an agegroup athlete and would like to come on the pod, get in touch.

Au programme de ce sous-marin : Les Forces de soutien rapide ont pris le contrôle de la capitale du Darfour, El Fasher, fin octobre dernier au Soudan.

How do you harmonise distribution strategies in a rapidly evolving marketplace?Sara Farrup took over as head of global markets at Axis at the beginning of the year, assuming leadership of one of the largest syndicates in Lloyd's and a major market maker in areas including cyber and renewable energy.In an interview with Behind the Headlines, Farrup explained that it's essential for fast-follow and open-market strategies to align, as well as being thoughtful about which coverholders to partner with to drive value.And in this episode's news discussion, Insurance Insider editor Fiona Robertson digests the latest market message issued by Lloyd's.Sam Casey: 0:04Hello and welcome to Behind the Headlines, brought to you by Insurance Insider. I'm Sam Casey, and thanks for tuning in to the latest episode. Remember, you can subscribe to the podcast either on our website or on your podcast platform of choice. This week's guest is Sarah Farrah, Head of Global Markets as Axis Capital. Amongst the subjects we touch on in this is the delegated authority space where Axis is an active participant. Sara told me that to operate in the area successfully, it's essential to have alignment with the company's wider open market strategy.SPEAKER_02: 0:35Partnering with those trusted colleagues gives you diversification of product geography segment, but you need to understand who you're partnering with, and it's a trusted relationship that is guided by understanding the data, how that aligns with your open market strategies, and really being clear on what it gives you because it's very easy to get carried away.Sam Casey: 1:03First up, Lloyd's recently delivered its quarterly market message, which is the focus of this episode's news discussion. I'm joined now by Insurance Insider editor Fiona Robertson. Fiona, thanks for coming back on the show.Fiona Robertson: 1:15Always a pleasure, Sam.Sam Casey: 1:16So we had Lloyd's delivering their quarterly market message last week. It's always a good opportunity to gauge the feeling in the market and see what their priorities are. What were the overall messages and priorities which Lloyd's and Rachel Turk were communicating this time around?Fiona Robertson: 1:36I think really the key takeaway was this sense from Rachel Turk of asking underwriters or Lloyd syndicates not to kind of hurry themselves into the soft market any faster than they need to. So she was acknowledging the sort of competitive pressures that they face and the fact that they have to be competitive when they're quoting, but also kind of just urging them to sort of hold back where they can or just make sure they're still trying to stick to their business plan. So I think that was probably the key takeaway for me.Sam Casey: 2:07And as it got a bit more granular, it seems like the one class of business which was laboured out in particular for a bit of a recommend was the property DNF space. Why was it that that was in her sights?Fiona Robertson: 2:20Yes, yes. I suppose there's always one class that gets that kind of must-do better grade. Probably feels a bit like being back in school, I'm sure, for all the underwriters when they hear the market message. So I think the DNF market really it just comes down to the pace of change, is the uh message that came across. And that is one that we've been reporting on through the year, obviously. And I think the speed of rate reductions in the property markets have just taken some people by surprise and been one of the defining changes in the market over the past year. So it's it's not surprising. And I think the messaging was yes, there might still be margin. This is all coming off from a high, so we can handle it. But looking ahead, if that pace was to keep up, I think that is just what they w

It's art, memory, and freedom.”On this episode Troy Meadows sits down with Malcolm Pascotti, founder of Can't Buy Cool Studios. Malcolm's journey is one of quiet evolution. He started as a road runner, lots of miles in high school and beyond, but during the pandemic, while living in San Francisco, he began exploring trails in the Marin Headlands and hills around Pacifica. That slow, natural shift eventually led him into mountain running and “DIY ultras” solo, self‑supported runs of 30–40 miles, all on his own terms.What makes Malcolm stand out isn't just distance or pace, but the way he mixes movement with creativity. Outside of running, he climbs, skis, scrambles, shoots photography (both professionally and for fun), writes poems and musings. He calls it living.He also quietly gives back to the community: providing gear and support to fellow runners, like when he ran a T-shirt sale to help fund race entries for another runner,  proof that support doesn't always need spotlight.Malcolm is quietly building Can't Buy Cool Studios, weaving together art, running, identity, and community.Motivational HighlightsEmbrace adventure on your own terms — solo ultras don't have to be for trophies, they can be for the soul.Running can be part of a creative life — movement, art, writing, identity — all deeply connected.Quiet generosity matters: supporting others in small ways helps build a stronger, more inclusive community.Balance is messy but possible: holding down a full-time job, a creative process, and still getting out for the run.Links & ResourcesIG: @cantbuycoolstudiosWebsite: https://cantbuycoolstudios.com/Partner Links: Janji - Janji.comA big shoutout to our sponsor, Janji!

Jon's career in tech didn't prepare him for the kind of grit and self‑discovery he found on the trails, especially when he set his sights on the infamous Barkley Marathons. On the way he picked up ultra finishes at events like Niwot's Challenge and the Yucca Bar Massacre, embraced navigation‑heavy racing, and turned running into a tool for resilience and community.Highlights:How Jon went from programming to pursing ultra adventures—with little thought for convention.What draws him to Barkley‑style races: the unknown, the navigational challenge, the refusal to accept a “normal” race.Key training takeaways: establishing strength, avoiding injury through smart prep, embracing weekly yoga and strength work (yes, even for ultra runners).Motivational nuggets: How showing up matters more than finishing; how joy in running can exist alongside the grind; why community and purpose matter just as much as pace.Practical tips: For runners looking to level up in 2025—whether you're chasing 50 miles or chasing meaning—you'll hear what made the difference for Jon.Jon's  links:IG: @mildly_athleticIG: @runningwithproblems“Running With Problems” podcast infoJon's race archive & blogJon's Barkley 2023 race reportBarkley Marathons background infoPartner Links: Janji - Janji.comA big shoutout to our sponsor, Janji!

Her story flips the usual “runner interview” on its head, and it's rich in meaning.Guest journey & highlightsErica is married to a race‑director, which opened her door into the world of trail and ultra running from a different vantage point—supporting, creating, building instead of racing.On her 42‑acre farm in North Carolina (nestled between Asheville and Charlotte), she homesteads, grows endangered medicinal plants, sews sustainable slow‑fashion pieces, and dives deep into frameworks of wilderness, microbiome, community and true belonging.Her family's race event, the Hollis Hills Farm Revival (50 km, 25 k, 5 mile) is part trail run, part community fest, part land‑revival project.She speaks to how the ultra world (sometimes stereotyped as hyper‑competitive) can actually be profoundly welcoming to non‑runners, volunteers, supporters—the “behind the scenes” humans.Motivational takeaways: You don't need to be the person crossing the finish line to belong here. Contribution isn't always measured in miles. Sustainability, craft, community resilience—these are trail values too.

In Episode 211, Sarah and Catherine of Gilmore Guide to Books catch up on the 14 new releases they shared in the Fall 2025 Book Preview, now that they've read them — or at least tried to!  They share their reading stats and discuss which books worked and which didn't…and why.   This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Catherine's success rate bounces back from summer. Sarah's fall reading felt kind of "meh" despite a higher success rate.

Their fall pick ratings were all over the place, with only one DNF, but books range from 2 to 4 stars, with Catherine boasting the sole 5-star book! A couple of books suffered from an identity crisis, while others were surprise successes.  Catherine's assignment for next season is to check the page count and look for authors following-up award-winning books.

F1TV expert and six-time IndyCar race winner, James Hinchcliffe, joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix. Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri at the top of the World Championship by 24 points. With three races and one F1 Sprint to go, there are still 83 up for grabs.  So how will Lando and Oscar approach this triple header? Hinch shares his thoughts on the mindset of both McLaren drivers and tells Tom why it's still all to play for despite Lando's advantage. Max Verstappen is now 49 points adrift of Lando but, while his title hopes look slim, will he and Red Bull still be fighting for wins and have a say in the championship outcome? Plus, Ferrari have been on the Vegas podium two years in a row. Could this be the track where they score a first Grand Prix win of the season? After their double DNF in Brazil, Ferrari chairman John Elkann said Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc need to ‘talk less and focus on driving'. How does Hinch think those comments will impact the team?

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫腾讯2025三季报深度解析，来自巍巍昆仑侠。十一月十三日腾讯发了三季报，大致看了腾讯三季报的几个主要的财务数据，这两天看完了三季报全文和业绩电话会议纪要，一如既往的稳健，再来深入解读一下。我们可以清晰看到，三季度业绩稳健向好。第三季度，营收1929 亿元人民币，同比增长 15%。毛利润1088 亿元人民币，同比增长 22%。经营盈利 636 亿元人民币，同比增长 19%。非国际净利润为706亿元人民币，同比增长 18%。一个五万亿市值的互联网巨头，营收、毛利润、经营盈利、净利润全部达到 15% 以上的高两位数增长已属难得，在当前宏观经济不景气的情况下更加彰显增长的韧性十足。在营收表现方面，本季度营收规模达人民币1,929亿元，继续刷新单季度历史最高纪录，并且已经连续两个季度保持15% 的营收同比增速，也是自2022年以来各季度中的最高水平，展现出稳健向好的增长趋势。公司毛利润1088 亿元人民币，同比增长 22%，公司整体毛利率为 56.4%，同比提高 3 个百分点，单季度毛利创出近三年来新高，毛利率环比略有下降，但同比仍然保持高位，公司盈利质量呈现结构性的持续提升。分业务来看，增值服务毛利率为 61%，同比提升 4 个百分点，主要因为高毛利率的游戏占比上升；营销服务毛利率为 57%，同比提升 4 个百分点，得益于视频号与微信搜索等高毛利收入增长；金融科技及企业服务毛利率为 50%，同比提升 2个百分点，受益于金融科技服务收入结构的改善及云服务成本效益的提升。非国际净利润方面，2025年二季度继续大幅回落至10%的同比增速，主要是一家大型联营公司的预估收益下降。三季度非国际净利润 706 亿元，同比增长 18%，恢复正常。腾讯管理层建议不要过度关注毛利率季度间的波动，并且应该更关注收入增长和经营盈利的增长。腾讯第三季度经营盈利 636 亿元人民币，同比增长 19%，略超 15% 的营收增速，体现了一定的经营杠杆。我们先看游戏业务，游戏业务增长强劲，再超预期。作为腾讯的现金奶牛，三季度游戏板块营收 636 亿元，同比大增 22%，在去年同期较高基数下依旧增长迅猛，超出了我的预期。其中，三季度国内游戏收入 428 亿，同比增长 15%。主要得益于《三角洲行动》以及《王者荣耀》、《无畏契约》等长青游戏的收入增长。2025年第三季度，国内移动游戏流水测算榜Top10当中有多达7款“腾讯系”产品，依旧是统治级别的表现。其中，2025年10月腾讯王牌游戏《王者荣耀》迎来上线十周年里程碑，日活跃用户达到恐怖的1.39亿，依旧在增长。而在上周，《王者荣耀》职业联赛年度总决赛也在鸟巢正式举办，据官方对外发布的数据显示，本次总决赛现场观众人数高达62196人，不仅刷新了KPL赛事举办以来的最高记录，也创造了单场电竞赛事现场观众人数的吉尼斯世界纪录。另一款重点产品《三角洲行动》表现也是相当不俗，三季度总流水位居行业第三，仅次于“玄冥二老”王者荣耀和和平精英，9月份的日活跃用户超过 3000万。此外今年 8 月份上线的《无畏契约：源能》国服，已成为中国今年迄今为止最成功的移动游戏首发。移动版的发布使得PC和移动端合并活跃用户数相比7月翻了一倍多，在10月份超过了5000万。海外市场游戏收入为人民币208 亿元，同比增长43%，连续两个季度大超预期。这主要得益于Supercell 旗下《皇室战争》等多款游戏的收入增长，以及新发布的《消逝的光芒》的收入贡献。管理层表示，本季度海外游戏增长率，大大高于正常增长率。这是因为在本季度，有新收购的游戏工作室的并表，以及《消逝的光芒》游戏收入的一次性确认。因此，展望第四季度，海外游戏的增长将会减速，更接近其潜在的增长率。新游方面，目前最值得期待的是《王者荣耀世界》，当时是要对标《原神》的开放世界游戏，已经研发了三年之久，经过了多轮的内部测试，有望在年内正式上线。递延收入增长是游戏收入增长的一个积极先行指标，2025年二季度末公司递延收入 1220 亿元，相较二季度末的1209亿元小幅增加11 亿元，弹药依旧充足，2025 年四季度增长依旧有保障。2025 年二季报解读时，考虑到上半年游戏业务业绩同比大增有个原因是基数较低，新游DNF 手游和三角洲今年上半年都是纯增量，今年三季度开始这种低基数的同比红利就没有了，但腾讯游戏三季度表现还是超出预期。综合考虑后，我将2025全年游戏业务板块同比增速从 15%上调到 20%。第二，我们再来看营销服务业务。2025年三季度收入同比增长21%至人民币362亿元。该增长主要由于广告曝光量的提升，这得益于用户参与度及广告加载率的提高，以及AI 驱动的广告定向所带动的期望广告收益的增长。本季所有主要行业的广告主投放均有所增长。管理层自业绩电话会议上表示本季度广告收入中一半的增长来自更高的期望广告收益成本，这主要归功于 AI的支持以及小程序电商闭环的好处。这里多提一下腾讯广告业务新推出的 AI自动化广告活动解决方案，实现定向、出价和投放的自动化，并优化广告创意，从而提高广告主的营销投资回报率。总体来看，腾讯的广告营销业务未来几年的增长势能还是比较充足的，凭借着以微信视频号、小程序、微信搜一搜、企业微信和公众号等组成的微信的泛内循环生态体系，还是具备很强差异化竞争优势。考虑到 2024 年第四季度的高基数，预计2025年四季度营销业务增速会相较三季度略微下降，继续保持15%-20% 之间的高增长。金融科技及企业服务板块2025年三季度收入为人民币 580亿元，同比增长 10%。管理层在业绩说明会上披露，拆分来看，金融科技服务收入同比实现高个位数增长，第三季度的商业支付总量增长率快于第二季度。线上支付量持续强劲增长，而线下支付有所增长，特别是在零售和交通领域。消费者贷款服务没有提到增长率，提到不良贷款率保持在行业最低水平之一，并同比有所改善，这和消费大环境总体低迷的感官一致。转向企业服务，收入增长得益于更高的云服务收入和媒体交易。来自数据库产品的项目收入同比增长显著，主要得益于需求的增长，包括来自汽车行业客户的需求。三季度的云计算业务有些低于我的预期，目前国内 AI算力需求的商业化进展还是比较慢，当然管理层也提到目前仍然受到 AI 算力芯片可用性的影响，尽量优先保证内部业务的需求。随着国产 AI 芯片的不断进步，我觉得供给端的问题会逐步解决，因此，我对腾讯未来几年的云计算业务增长前景仍然较为乐观。第三，我们来看看腾讯的人效方面，腾讯进入“增员增效”新阶段.截至2025年第三季度末，员工总人数约为11.5万人，已接近2022年第一季度创下的11.6万人的历史峰值水平。与上年同期相比，员工人数增长5.5%；较上季度环比增长3.6%，人员招聘规模呈现显著提升态势，体现了对未来业务发展的积极预期与战略信心的提升。薪酬方面，2025年第三季度总酬金324亿元，同比上涨 9.4%，环比上涨4.9%，员工季度薪酬人均 28.2 万元。人效方面，虽然员工支出在提升，同时 季度员工人效小幅提升至 168 万元，创出近四年新高，说明组织效率在持续提升。整体来看，腾讯连续几年的结构性降本优化阶段基本结束，进入“增员增效”的新周期，在员工规模有序提升的同时，员工人效也在持续提升，实现了相互促进的良性循环。第四，来看看腾讯的AI资本开支方面，在短期投资强度下降。腾讯2025年第三季度资本开支为 130亿元人民币，投资强度继续下降，同比下降 24%，环比下降 32%。业绩说明会上管理层被问及是否AI相关资本开支时，管理层表示2025 年资本支出将低于先前指引，但高于 2024 年实际支出。年初制定的资本开支计划并未变化，主要还是和全球高端 AI 芯片 供应受限有关，这直接影响了公司的资本支出计划和云业务发展。第五，再看看腾讯的投资资产价值方面稳步提升。截止2025 年三季度末，腾讯持有的投资资产组合中，上市投资公司权益的公允价值为人民币8008亿元，同比上升 31%，非上市投资的账面价值为人民币3452 亿元，同比增加 5%，合计11460亿元，同比增加 22%。从数据中我们可以看出上市部分的资产增速要明显高于非上市部分资产，这也体现了当前一年全球股市都处于上涨趋势中，所以腾讯管理层也提到实际上目前投资组合卖出的金额要大于新投资项目金额。腾讯投资团队炒股还是很价投的。2025年第三季度联合营企业应占利润国际财务口径下为人民币78亿元，同比增加 30%；按非国际财务口径计为人民币103亿元，同比增加 21%。我们最后对腾讯的第三季报做个业绩评估。腾讯在今年前三季度实现营收5574亿元，同比增长 14%；经营盈利 1812亿元，同比增长 16%；非国际净利润 1949亿元，同比增长 16%，主要得益于游戏业务的强劲表现及AI技术对广告等业务的显著赋能。总体上此次三季报业绩略超预期，基于当前各项业务发展态势良好，以及 AI 资本开支低于指引的影响，预计4 季度与前3 季度业绩增速接近。故保守起见，维持年中时做的业绩预测不变：2025年营收实现7380亿元，同比增长12%；非国际净利润2556亿元，同比增长 15%；经营盈利 2372 亿元，同比增加 14%。未来三年 2026-2028 年，非国际净利润和经营盈利大概率能够保持10%-15%的增长，取中值即未来三年保持年化13%的增速。

F1TV lead commentator Alex Jacques and Brazilian commentator Felipe Giaffone join Tom Clarkson in the Interlagos paddock to analyse an eventful race in Brazil. Converting two pole positions into Grand Prix and Sprint wins, Lando Norris produced a perfect weekend to move 24 points clear of teammate Oscar Piastri at the top of the standings. With just three rounds left of the 2025 season, does Lando have one hand on the title now? What did Alex and Felipe make of Oscar's 10-second penalty? And how will the Australian be feeling after losing more ground in the championship? After his sensational win from P17 in Sao Paulo last year, Max Verstappen fought back in emphatic style again – this time from the pitlane to P3. How did he and Red Bull execute that incredible comeback after such a difficult qualifying session? Despite that remarkable recovery, Max lost more ground on Lando, but did close the gap to Oscar, so where do his hopes of becoming a five-time World Champion this season lie now? Plus, the guys also reflect on impressive performances from Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman and Liam Lawson, a challenging first home race for Gabriel Bortoleto, and a very disappointing double DNF for Ferrari.

Ferrari's double DNF made headlines, but not so much as John Elkann's unnecessary statement about Charles Leclerc & Lewis Hamilton "talking more" rather than focusing on driving. Did Andrea Kimi Antonelli deserve a penalty for his part in the Oscar Piastri tangle? Liam Lawson's "defensive masterclass" to make his 1-stopper work and lots more stories from Interlagos.

A commanding performance from the F1 championship leader in São Paulo has seen him increase his lead in the title race. Norris was faultless with Oscar Piastri again made mistakes? Is the Aussie crumbling? Ben and Bec discuss the pressure and the brilliance of Max Verstappen. They reflect on another double DNF for Ferrari as Ben predicts who he'd like to see take over the Italian team.

Anna and Geoff discuss their Booker Prize winner predictions. We haven't read enough of the shortlist to know who will win, but Geoff is tipping THE LAND IN WINTER (a DNF for Anna).   Our book of the week is FLASHLIGHT by Susan Choi. This is Choi's follow-up novel after winning the National Book Award for TRUST EXERCISE. It is a sweeping family saga set in America, Japan and Korea.  Shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize, we could not say we loved this one but it got us talking.   How much cat litter detail is too much?  Would Tobias really have gone to Japan or would he be trekking around Nepal? Could we read a whole novel of Serk? How many unlikeable characters in a novel is too many?  And we revisit 'that year' when Margaret Atwood and Bernadine Evaristo won jointly.   Coming up: CREATION LAKE by Rachel Kushner.   Follow us!   Instagram: @abailliekaras Email: booksonthegopodcast@gmail.com Substack: Books On The Go   Credits Artwork: Sascha Wilkosz

Danny and Colin discuss the 2025 World Championships (Men's and Women's) and give their hot takes on the new Kona qualification system. Key Takeaways Norwegian Dominance: The Norwegian team's success (winning both men's and women's titles) is attributed to a high-volume training model (25–30+ hrs/wk) that prioritizes threshold work and year-round altitude training, contrasting with the lower-volume, high-intensity USAT approach. Women's Race Drama: The women's race was an epic battle of tactics. Lucy Charles-Barclay's aggressive, race-dependent strategy led to a late-race DNF, while Taylor Knibb's controlled, course-dependent strategy collapsed ~3k from the finish due to heat exhaustion. Kat Matthews set a new run course record (2:49:00) to finish a close second. New Kona Qual System Flawed: The age-graded qualification system is failing. It heavily favors the Men's 55–59 age group on flat courses (e.g., 9 of 40 slots at IM California) while making it nearly impossible for women to qualify without an age-group win. This creates an unbalanced championship field. Topics World Championship Race Recaps Men's Race (Nice): Winner: Casper Stornes (Norway), who executed a smart, patient marathon. Norwegian Team Strategy: Training: High volume (25–30+ hrs/wk) with a focus on threshold work, not VO2 max. Support: Year-round altitude training and a strong team dynamic. Youth Development: Encourages high volume from a young age, a direct contrast to USAT's approach. Race Highlights: Sam Laidlow: Overcame a poor swim to finish top five. Matthew Marquardt: Finished top 11 despite cramping issues. Amateur Course Issue: Roads were not fully closed to traffic, causing safety and performance issues on descents. Women's Race (Kona): Winner: Solveig Løvseth (Norway), who ran a consistent 2:55:00 marathon. Key Performances: Lucy Charles-Barclay: Aggressive race strategy led to a late-race DNF from heat exhaustion. Taylor Knibb: Controlled race strategy (using a real-time CORE body temp sensor) collapsed ~3k from the finish. Kat Matthews: Set a new run course record (2:49:00) to finish second, 35 seconds behind Løvseth. CORE Body Temp Sensor: Function: Provides real-time core temp data to a watch. Application: Used by Taylor Knibb to manage heat; Christian Blumenfeld reportedly stayed in Zone 2 during his record-setting IM Texas marathon. Recommendation: Prioritize core temp data over heart rate in hot races. New Kona Qualification System Mechanism: An age-graded algorithm ranks all athletes against a Men's 30–34 benchmark. Younger athletes → time added. Older athletes → time subtracted. Impacts & Flaws: Men's 55–59 Age Group: Heavily favored, especially on flat courses. IM Maryland: Top 3–4 age-graded finishers were M55–59. IM California: M55–59 took 9 of 40 slots (23%). Women's Qualification: Severely limited. Outcome: Women must win their age group to have a realistic chance of qualifying. Projected Kona Field: ~15% women, with most being age-group winners. Race Dynamics: Removes on-course racing relevance, as an athlete's adjusted time is unknown. Proposed Solutions: Gender-Specific Algorithms: Use separate benchmarks for men and women. Proportional Allocation: Distribute slots based on the gender ratio at each race. System Adjustment: Ironman should adjust the algorithm mid-season to fix the imbalance.

F1TV commentator and former Renault driver Jolyon Palmer, and De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren, join Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend's Sao Paulo Grand Prix. With four races and two F1 Sprints to go, Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri at the top of the World Championship by just one point. How has Lando turned around a 34-point deficit to Oscar since his DNF in Zandvoort? Will the pressure change now he's gone from ‘hunter' to ‘hunted'? And having not been on the podium in the last four races, can Oscar regain momentum? In Mexico, Max Verstappen gained more ground in his late push to win a fifth championship in a row. Now 36 points off the lead, are Max's title chances in his own hands? And if he was to complete an incredible comeback, where would that achievement rank among his other successes? Erik also shares insight into Red Bull's transformation under Team Principal Laurent Mekies and what Max's future may hold after 2026. Plus, the guys discuss how the incredibly tight battle between Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull for P2 in the Constructors' Championship could play out.

LANDO NORRIS DANCES THE CUCARACHA IN MEXICO! MAX GETS THE "NO WAY JOSE" ON LECLERC, GEORGE GETS A LITTLE EXCITED, THE VIRTUAL SAFETY CAR WAS TOTALLY BOGUS!! AND PIASTRI NO LONGER LEADS THE CHAMPIONSHIP. NASIR HAMEED CORNER HAS... ESTEBAN GUTIERREZ, ANTONIO PIZZONIA AND TEAM OWNER TREVOR CARLIN. GRACIAS.   MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - OCTOBER 26: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain driving the (44) Scuderia Ferrari SF-25 Charles Leclerc of Monaco driving the (16) Scuderia Ferrari SF-25 and Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the (1) Oracle Red Bull Racing RB21 battle for track position at the start during the F1 Grand Prix of Mexico at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on October 26, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. (Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images) Orcale Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen drove a battling race from fifth on the grid to secure thid place in the Mexican Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, finishing just 0.725s behind second place as he fought all the way to the chequered flag in his hunt for more points in the 2025 Drivers' Championship fight. Starting fifth, Verstappen made a fast start, but ran wide in Turn 1 as he tried to thread his way into the top three. The Dutchman recovered quickly and fought hard to put his RB21 on the podium as McLaren driver Lando Norris drove to a comfortable win. Verstappen's late race charge to catch runner-up Charles Leclerc came down to the very last lap of the race, but the Ferrari driver just held on by 0.725s to leave Verstappen third. In the race for the 2025 Driver's Championship Verstappen gained more ground on the two McLaren drivers ahead of him however. Norris overtook team-mate Oscar Piastri to assume the championship lead by a single point on 357, but Verstappen closed the gap from 40 points to 36 with just four races now remaining. Team-mate Yuki Tsunoda just missed the points in 11th place, losing a position from his starting slot on the grid, while Visa Cash App Racing Bulls saw only Isack Hadjar finish in 13th after Liam Lawson suffered a DNF after just five laps onf the Grand Prix. LANDO:  “I could just keep my eyes focused, I could just keep eyes forward and just focus on what I was doing. “A pretty straightforward race for me, which is just what I was after. Good start, good launch, good first lap and I could go from there.” “This is awesome here... this is unbelievable. My first win here in Mexico, a beautiful one to win, especially here in the stadium. A big thanks to all the fans.”myself, I keep my head down, I ignore all of this [noise] and I keep to myself. It's working at the minute, so I'm happy.” GEORGE: That was a frustrating afternoon. At the start, three drivers cut over the grass at turn one and either kept or gained positions without penalty. I stayed on the track but lost out, unfortunately. That also happened when Lewis (Hamilton) and Max (Verstappen) were battling; when the Red Bull came back on the track, I had to take avoiding action, go off track, and lost several positions myself. Those two moments were ultimately the undoing of our race. From there, it was difficult being stuck in a train of cars and in particular, with the dirty air. We inverted the cars to try and maximise the team result but ultimately we just didn't have the pace to fight our way forward. We've got four races to go and need to regain some momentum if we are to emerge ahead in the battle for second in the Constructors' Championship. We're relishing that fight and looking forward to Brazil. FERNANDO: "It was a difficult race for me, and we've struggled for pace all weekend. We had a good start but then there was some contact which caused minor damage to the front wing. I was also surprised to see a few cars cutting the corner at the start, jumping ahead of us and not getting penalties. Unfortunately, about halfway through the race we had to retire the car as a precaution. Hopefully we can have more luck in the future." MAX: “I didn't expect to be on the podium today, it was quite eventful at the beginning and I had a good start. However, I went into the kerb, started bottoming out, avoided the wall by going on the grass and got back on to the track. It was quite hectic and the grip wasn't there on the Medium tyre, we quickly realised it wasn't a great tyre and tried to extend on it as much as we could. As soon as I was on the Soft tyre it felt better and we were more competitive. We did the perfect strategy, really optimised the final stint and I was enjoying it. At the end with the virtual safety car, it was unfortunate timing but sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't and that is just racing, but it would have been an exciting finish. I have said before that we need everything to go perfectly for the rest of the season and it wasn't perfect this weekend, so we will just need to continue optimising our performance as much as we can. However, even with a difficult weekend, to still be on the podium is a great result. We need to analyse everything and see what we can do better to come back stronger: it will be tough but we will give it everything that we can.” LAURENT: “Well done to the whole Team for never giving up on a weekend when we have been struggling a bit more than we wanted with the car. Everyone pushed hard to get to a better place and the support we got from Milton Keynes and here trackside was very strong. It was never quite enough to fight for the win here but allowed us to get another important podium with Max. His drive made the strategy work very well for us, so very well done to the strategy team because we committed to a difficult one-stop while starting on a very tricky Medium tyre, his second stint was mega, he didn't let the pace drop and what he managed to extract from the car was what we needed to make the race work. He was taking six to seven tenths out of Charles per lap and we would have had a proper fight in the last few laps without the VSC. It is part of the game, we don't control the VSC, and it's cost us a nice battle to watch and perhaps a few points. The pace from Yuki was also fast today, especially his first stint on the Medium.  Unfortunately we had a fairly long pitstop with him, which is not the sort of thing which usually happens with our super strong pit crew.” Thinking of you Nasir...

Just when you thought the championship picture was clear, Max Verstappen reminds everyone why you never count out the reigning king. This week on The Fast Ones, Max and Mike unpack Verstappen's resurgence and how his fifth title hunt is suddenly back in play — no matter how much the papaya camp pretends not to notice.We'll break down Charles Leclerc's standout performance, the suspicious dip in pace from Oscar Piastri, and the growing tension inside McLaren after a brutal double DNF in the sprint. Plus, we celebrate Haas hero Ollie Bearman for somehow finishing in the points despite an off-track adventure while trying to pass Tsunoda.Redemption arcs, papaya implosions, and Verstappen's shadow looming large — it's another week of high drama, low grip, and classic Fast Ones energy.

Colin and Danny discuss Danny's experience and lessons learned from his DNF at Ironman Chattanooga 2025. Key Takeaways -Danny's DNF stemmed from electrolyte imbalance (likely hypocalcemia) rather than fitness issues -Mental approach of racing with expectations vs. focusing on process negatively impacted performance -Support from team/community after DNF was more meaningful than typical race success accolades -Danny plans to do Florida 70.3 in December and focus on sub-3 hour Houston Marathon in January Pre-Race Preparation and Mindset -Training leading up to race was consistently strong, especially run improvements -Felt more nervous than usual, likely due to self-imposed expectations and pressure -Underestimated difficulty of new bike course, didn't do sufficient due diligence Race Day Experience -Swim went well (43 minutes), felt good coming out of water -Bike split was on target (4:49, ~245W avg), but course was harder than anticipated -Run fell apart quickly due to electrolyte issues, leading to severe symptoms by mile 15 -Attempted to push through but ultimately collapsed and required medical assistance Post-Race Analysis -Likely suffered from hypocalcemia, leading to numbness, breathing issues, and eventual collapse -Nutrition/hydration plan may need adjusting, particularly calcium intake -Mental approach of racing with expectations vs. process focus contributed to issues Moving Forward -Taking time to recover mentally and physically before next race -Considering Florida 70.3 in December as a fitness test -Primary focus on sub-3 hour Houston Marathon in January 2026 -Signed up for Ironman Ottawa and considering Jacksonville, FL Ironman for 2026 season Lessons Learned -Importance of racing for oneself vs. external expectations -Value of community support during setbacks vs. successes -Need to balance pushing limits with intelligent decision-making during races Next Steps -Get blood work done to check electrolyte levels and overall health -Work with coach to determine if Florida 70.3 fits with Houston Marathon training plan -Continue mental work on racing for process vs. expectations -Apply lessons learned to future race preparation and execution

The conversation goes beyond splits and mileage—this is about finding clarity in the pain cave, understanding when to pull back, and learning when to lean in harder.Troy shares how the brutal terrain of the Dark Divide wasn't just a race—it was a reflection of the internal work he's been doing to grow as an athlete, coach, and human.In this episode:The mental and physical crucible that is the Dark DivideHow failure became a launchpad for deeper personal growthThe evolving identity of a coach and runner learning to slow down and listenWhy building community and connection off the trail matters just as muchReflections on parenting, purpose, and progressIf you're looking for something that will challenge you—inside and out—check out Dark Divide 100K.Relevant LinksDark Divide Trail RacesWonderland Running  Running with Problems Podcast Partner Links: Janji - Janji.comA big shoutout to our sponsor, Janji!

This is a great time to build the cake, or maybe even just put your shopping list together. Today, we look at the unlimited potential of aerobic capacity and why it's at the core of making you a better long course athlete. We talk about Mark Allen's quest to beat Dave Scott and how patience allowed him to set the IM run course record. We get into using this time to reduce your stress and level your cortisol to be a healthier person. We look at how your body adapts to training and how we actually get faster and stronger. Get faster in a more meaningful (and functional) way. The goal right now is to train in a way so that you feel good tomorrow . . . and the next day. Be patient and the speed will come. Topics: We all have options Sitting in no man's land FOMO on both sides of the aisle Build the aerobic reservoir High intensity can wait Is periodization dead? Roller coaster highs and lows are bad for the body Using TIME to reduce stress Aerobic work is maximum quality Keep showing up but “don't try” The poison is in the dose DNF rate going up? Stress Flexibility Fatigue resistance Don't eat into your ability to push threshold Running and swimming as intuitive strengths Your training plan as a menu Mark Allen - 7 months of no intensity for the win How your body adapts and gets stronger Consistency going out of your watt range Waking up the next day able to do it again Peaks and valleys are stressful Get faster in a meaningful way The goal is to feel good tomorrow Don't feel good just to dig another hole   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com   Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
