In this episode, we hear from Matt Forman.Matt shares his background, how he got introduced to triathlon and his experience at Ironman New Zealand. 

Regan Hollioake, Professional Triathlete from Australia, talks to us about her journey from competitive open water swimming to triathlon. Regan discovered cycling as a strength after a standout performance at Busselton where she set the fastest ever age group female time. Living in a small town three hours north of Melbourne, she often trained alone but has more recently benefited from joining a training squad in Ballarat. We discuss her progression in running, from a 3:15 marathon to a 3:03 at IRONMAN Australia, despite not having a formal running background, and how she maintains a mindful approach to training volume to avoid injuries. Regan's debut as a professional athlete was at IRONMAN New Zealand, where she raced against notable competitors like Chelsea Sodaro and Els Visser. Despite initial doubts, she excelled and secured a fourth-place finish, validating her decision to go pro. We discuss her challenging lead-up to IRONMAN Australia, where she competed and won the race despite suffering a broken rib from an accident in the pool and an ulcerated cornea. Most recently Regan raced and won the full distance at Challenge Gunsan in Korea. Her next stop? Lake Placid and then the IRONMAN World Champs in Nice. She'll definitely be one to watch out for.

In this engaging episode of "Find Your Finish Line," Mike Reilly sits down with the formidable IRONMAN athlete, Meredith Kessler. At 45, Kessler, a mother of two and a veteran of 73 IRONMAN finishes, shares her remarkable journey in the world of endurance sports. From her early days of transitioning from field hockey to triathlons, to juggling intense training with motherhood, Kessler's story is a testament to resilience and determination. Her daily routine of morning runs and balancing family life, alongside her experiences at IRONMAN New Zealand, offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the life of a dedicated athlete. This episode delves into Kessler's reflections on her career, the challenges of motherhood, and her continuous pursuit of athletic excellence. Her candid discussion about the ups and downs of her journey, including a humorous recount of helping a fellow competitor during a race, provides a relatable and human aspect to the life of a professional athlete. Engaging and heartfelt, Kessler's narrative is a compelling listen for anyone interested in the power of perseverance and the human spirit. Tune in to be inspired by Kessler's relentless pursuit of her goals, both in sport and life, and to understand the true essence of finding your finish line.

Rachael Cunningham won the free race entry to IRONMAN New Zealand. We find out more about her. We explore the crucial role of mental fitness in endurance sport and its significance for both performance and recovery. We discuss how athletes handle pre-race anxiety and stress differently and the mental resilience required in elite adventure racing where cognitive stamina and decision-making under duress are as crucial as physical ability. We share insights from an episode of That Triathlon podcast with certified psychologist Stuart Holliday, who specializes in working with endurance athletes. Stuart discusses the o of self-talk and the need for athletes to conduct a robust self-assessment, examining their psychological approach before, during and after races.  We introduce Matt Fitzgerald's book "How Bad Do You Want It?" as a resource for understanding and improving mental toughness in the face of adversity. We examine key concepts such as the central governor theory by Tim Noakes, discussing the role of the brain and mind in athletic performance. We also explore the notion that athletes don't encounter their true physical limits due to a maximum tolerance for perception of effort. While some individuals possess an innate ability to push past their perceived limits, for most, this is a skill that can be developed. We touch on cases where athletes perform significantly better on race day compared to their training sessions, suggesting a psychological component that unlocks higher intensity and effort levels. Lastly, we consider the role of psychology in recovery, discussing practices like yoga nidra and meditation, which can aid in activating the parasympathetic nervous system for improved rest and digestion.

Travelling over 515km in three days of racing, the event starts with a 10km ocean swim followed by a 145km cycle.

As an experienced athlete and coach, Simon shares his approach to training and how he has consciously worked on developing mental strength. We discuss the significance of choosing more challenging options in training and how this translates to confidence on race day. Simon reveals his strategies for mental preparation and provides valuable insights into the mental side of endurance training. We talk through Simon's race in Hawaii, the lead up to the race and how he adjusted his taper. We also hear about the challenging conditions which led to a crash on the bike.

Every now and again we come across someone whose thoughts or writings completely align with our own. If this has happened to you, you'll probably recall nodding in agreement as you listen to them speak or read their article. One such individual is Gordo Byrn, a chap whose musings and blog posts I have been reading since the late 90's. He went from average age grouper in 1999 (11-hr Ironman finish) to a top long distance pro triathlete, finishing 2nd at both Ironman Canada and Ironman New Zealand. He also won the legendary Ultraman event in Hawaii and the OtillO swim/run event in Sweden. Gordo then took 10 years out of the sport to raise his children, but now he's back and aiming to find out what he can achieve as a 54-year old athlete. His project is called 1000 day pacing where he promotes the benefits of long term planning (something I've spoken about frequently in the past) rather than the current trend of trying to achieve huge goals in a few short months and dealing with the pressure this brings.   We cover a whole range of topics, and Gordo shares the adjustments he's made as an older athlete, along with his wisdom on how age group athletes can best prepare for long distance events. We also discuss:   Working with many coaches and learning that there are no secrets For Ironman athletes - why you have to learn to swim and bike slower to deliver your best run Building a foundation, and the benefits of the 'Basic Week' approach to training Training camps - Why the week after tells you how beneficial it really was All triathletes - It's the day to day work that counts, not the hero sessions If you'd like to find out more about Gordo, he recommends these channels:   Landing Page: https://1000daypacing.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/feelthebyrn1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@feelthebyrn   There are some fantastic Gordo insights at this page.

It's by 10k speed skating world record holder Nils van der Poel and it's excellent! How To Skate A 10K   In line with many previous guests, Gordo also nominated his favourite book: Jason Koop's Training Essentials for Ultrarunning - the lessons apply much more broadly than running long.   Join our SWAT/High Performance Human tribe using this link, with a happiness guarantee!

At the end I just said to myself ... it's just time! 22:00 - Mike explains the story on how he called his first race. It's about much more than standing with a microphone calling out finishers' names. Mike's 19-hour day typically starts before 5:00 am, where he presides over the swim-to-bike transition area as athletes rack their cycles and make last-minute adjustments. He provides critical information about late-breaking changes, course conditions, and the minute-by-minute schedule necessary to get the swim off to a smooth start. He's then responsible for guiding the athletes into the water and providing instructions about the particulars of the starting protocol, including “gentle guidance” about their positioning. After the swim gets underway, Mike keeps spectators informed about the relative positions of the leaders, and then announces the names of athletes as they complete the swim and head out on the bike portion. During the day, Mike positions himself in a variety of locations to watch the athletes as they come in on the bike and hit various spots on the run course, constantly updating the spectators as to the leaderboard as well as conditions out on the course. Then it's over to the finish line, where Mike will spend over nine hours bringing in every athlete in the race, providing nuggets of personal information about as many of them as it's possible to squeeze in. During the last hour or so of the race, as the clock winds down to the 17-hour cutoff mark, Mike will come down from the announcing booth and move right next to the finish line. At that point he'll do whatever it takes to keep the crowd energized and the last, struggling finishers motivated to make the cutoff: He'll shout, dance, wave a towel, and even run into the finishing chute to run alongside exhausted athletes and shout encouragement. When they step across the line, they're treated to the sweetest sound in the sport: Mike yelling “You are an IRONMAN!” at the top of his lungs, as he's already done as many as 2,500 times that day. 27:45 - Mike tells the story about how the phrase "You are an Ironman" came about. 33:29 - Mike's Instagram message announcing his retirement. Don't worry, you'll be an Ironman tomorrow ... 33:29 - Mike's Instagram message announcing his retirement. 35:59 - Mike has written a phenomenal book; Finding My Voice with stories from his career. He shares a few of the most memorable stories with us. 40:31 - The finish line at an Ironman is one of the most 'alive' places you can every experience. Mike and Greg discuss the stories and metaphors for life that exist around completing an Ironman race. 43:03 - Mike describes some of the low moments where he may have said things on mic that he now feels was not appropriate. You can't do that kind of stuff when you are publicly on a microphone 50:23 - Mike and Greg discuss the process of writing the book - Book: Finding My Voice 54:57 - Be sure to subscribe and listen to Mik'e podcast - Find Your Finish Line 58:30 - Mike and Greg discuss the sport of triathlon ... where it is now, where it's come from, and where they see it going in the future. Competition can only make you greater 1:04:11 - Mike and Greg wrap up with some fun rapid fire questions; One book you would recommend? The Power of One - Bryce Courtenay Two most-used apps on your phone? What 3 people would you want to have dinner with (nonfamily, living or dead)? GOAT triathlete of all time?

In this episode:Side stitch can be the bane of runners everywhere but what causes it and how to prevent it remains very much a mystery. recent evidence suggests that a possible issue may actually be in your head, specifically related to stress levels. On this episode I review the science of what is known about this painful annoyance as well as this recent research on how anxiety and stress might lead to its occurrence. Mike Reilly has been calling the finish line for triathlon and most iconically Ironman for more than thirty years but that all came to an end with his retirement after the recent Ironman New Zealand. I had the great fortune to chat with him before he left for that event and you can hear him reminisce and talk about the future in this episode.Segments:[08:00]- Side stitch[18:56]- Mike ReillyLinksMike's Website Mike's Facebook page @ironmanvoice on Instagram @ironmanvoice on Twitter Mike on YouTube IM foundation auction for Mike's towelTriDoc Podcast FB group
