Antony Boyd joined Koa Sports in July 2024 with an ambition to break 10 hours in an IRONMAN, a dream he had been chasing for over a decade. 2 kids in high school, running his own business, and 12 hours a week to train (average). At the age of 49 Ant achieved this goal at IRONMAN Cairns 2025.  A relatable story for any age group triathlete on limited time, but with an absolute hunger to achieve more. Preparation, nutrition, race day we unpack how it all went down and what needed to change to make this dream a reality.  This could be you!Join the Tribe.www.koasports.com.au

In this episode, I talk about my race at Ironman Cairns. Send questions through to tim@trainsmooth.com

We catch up on the racing and news from the weekend. Louise Saggers won the free race entry to IRONMAN Cairns. We found out how her day went. We share Lionel Sander's YouTube video which centres on his recent experiences with injuries, particularly stress fractures. Lionel tells us what he's now learned about relative energy deficiency in athletes and the impact on hormonal health. Relative energy deficiency can significantly impact athletic performance and stress fractures are often linked to energy deficiencies. Nutrition plays a crucial role in recovery and overall health and understanding the importance of the body's energy needs is vital for performance. Christine Byrne has a Masters in Public Health Nutrition and is a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist. We talk to her about her work as an ‘Anti Diet Dietitian' and her article ‘Eating Healthy Might be Hurting Your Performance'. The conversation explores the complexities of eating disorders, particularly in the context of amateur sports and athletic performance. It highlights the spectrum of eating disorders, the rise of orthorexia and the importance of understanding the relationship between nutrition and performance. The discussion emphasizes that athletes often face unique challenges regarding caloric intake and the misconception of 'clean eating' which may hinder their performance.

Tristan Olij heeft een Kona-slot te pakken na een magnifieke race bij Ironman Cairns, Tim van Hemel was ijzersterk bij Ironman Klagenfurt en Niek Heldoorn viel daar juist een keertje tegen. Het was een weekend van uitersten en dan hadden we in Nice ook nog eens een dominante Lucy Charles-Barclay en een tussen de Age Groupers racende Anne Haug. Ook hebben we het over een livestream die eigenlijk vooral anti-reclame voor de sport bleek en natuurlijk het plotselinge vertrek van Tim Moriau, de Technisch Directeur van Triathlon Vlaanderen, slechts zes weken voor de Olympische Spelen.

Jack Moody, Professional Triathlete, is hosting the podcast with Bevan this week. We catch up on the racing from the weekend plus we talk about the “sellout” for the pros at the upcoming IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside race – will this be a nightmare to officiate? We share Sam Long's review of his race at the T100 in Miami and ask do pro athletes have their feet in both camps, despite having contracts with the PTO? We catch up with Graham Brewster, winner of the free race entry to IRONMAN Cairns. Bevan chats to Justin Ralph of Velo Performance – an organisation set up to help people across the spectrum optimise their on-bike position specifically related to their own cycling goals.  Justin Ralph has spent a significant amount of time working with cyclists. In 2017 he transferred to High Performance Sport New Zealand and worked with Cycling New Zealand as a performance physiotherapist and bike fitter. Justin has been to the London and Rio Paralympics, the Tokyo Olympics as well as the 2018 Commonwealth Games and multiple World Championships and World Cups.  Justin's journey from physiotherapy to the niche world of bike fitting and aero testing reveals a unique perspective on cycling performance. He shares his experience in working with a diverse range of cyclists—from everyday enthusiasts to para-athletes and national track teams—and how he tailors bike fittings to enhance both comfort and speed. We discuss the intricate process of adapting bikes for athletes with disabilities and the evolution of aero testing from wind tunnels to real-time track assessments. Justin provides invaluable insights for cyclists aiming to push their limits.

Then transitioned to middle distance and Ironman 70.3 events and absolutely crushed them. She has won almost 50% of the middle-distance events she's started… and she's started over 50 of them. Her domination after giving birth to her daughter was incredible in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.  She hasn't stopped there. She's just clinched her spot in the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, off the back of not one but two second-place finishes, six weeks apart in Ironman Australia and Ironman Cairns.  She's the epitome of grit and excellence in triathlon, and she's doing it all while raising a family and running a business.  Add to that, she's one half of a triathlon super couple, married to Aussie multiple Olympian Brad Kahlefeldt.   Links Greg Bennett https://www.bennettendurance.com/ Find Greg on social media: Twitter (X)- The Greg Bennett Show Instagram- The Greg Bennett Show   Radka Kahlefeldt https://www.radkaracing.com/ Instagram- @radkakahlefeldt1

In this episode we chat with IRONMAN Australia Champion Steve McKenna. Steve shares the challenges he's faced this year, from multiple head colds and COVID to getting hit by a car, and how he's now targeting IRONMAN Cairns as a main goal for the Australasian season. We also explore the impact of being a father of two young children has on his training and racing plans, and how it's shifted his focus and priorities. Steve talks about his race strategies and performances over the last few years, his love of IRONMAN training and his belief that he's more suited to the longer distance events. We chat about his victory at IRONMAN Australia and how the support and advice from both his family and his coach have been invaluable in his journey. Lastly, we dive into the topic of the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and its impact on athletes like Steve. He shares his experience with the PTO rankings system, how it affected his decisions to race in certain events and the potential opportunities it may offer athletes in the future. Join us for this honest and insightful conversation as we explore the challenges of a professional triathlete's career both on and off the racecourse.

We sat down with Clint in May to have a look through his background in Triathlon and his goals for the upcoming Ironman Cairns. In his own words Clint had an "OK" day up in Cairns and we caught up post race and went through his race day, what he changed and adapted from the previous year to not only drop a huge PB but take the chocolates in his age group. www.koasportscoaching.com#bethewarrior #koatribe
