Imagine learning to swim from the legendary six-time Ironman World Champion, Dave Scott, in your twenties, only to let a fear of falling off a bike keep you from the world of triathlon for decades! That's exactly what happened to our incredible guest this week, Mary Hager. Living in Washington, DC, at the age of 60, Mary finally decided to tackle her fear and dive headfirst into the world of triathlon. Fast forward to her 70s, and Mary became the 2023 Long Distance AquaBike World Champion!   This isn't just a story about athletic achievement; it's a testament to the power of overcoming fear and discovering hidden passions at any age. Mary shares her inspiring journey, from her first tentative sprint triathlon in 2008 to standing on the podium in Ibiza, proving that it's truly never too late to start something new – and even become the best in the world at it.   Beyond her incredible victories, Mary reflects on the vital role of community support in her training, the smart strategies she employs to adapt her training through the years, and the beautiful balance she strikes between her athletic pursuits and cherished family life. She also offers a fascinating glimpse into her early days training alongside a young Dave Scott when he was a water polo player and coach, even planting the seed for his future triathlon dominance after witnessing his natural talent.   Get ready for a conversation filled with humor, humility, and a whole lot of heart. Mary shares how training with a supportive community propelled her growth as an athlete, the sweet satisfaction of proving naysayers (including her own husband!) wrong, and the exhilarating experience of competing at national levels and proudly representing Team USA.

Her rise to the top step of the IRONMAN World Championship podium has seen her achieve lots of success in a sport that was never even on her radar for many years, in fact she only learned how to swim when she was 24, something that has certainly not held her back from becoming a world class triathlete and one of the sport's most successful athletes. Her professional career took off after taking victory at IRONMAN 70.3 in Mallorca in 2016, and since then, Laura has consistently climbed the ranks, securing  titles and podium finishes around the world.  She is a multiple IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 Champion, the 2022 Ironman European Champion, the 2023 IRONMAN African Champion and IRONMAN 70.3 European Champion, she finished in 3rd place in Kona last year and this year she achieved her dream of becoming the IRONMAN World Champion. Laura shares lots of insight about many aspects of her life as an athlete from the importance of aligning her training to her menstrual cycle, to balancing her fuelling needs as a vegetarian with the demands of her training and racing schedule. With her number one supporter; her husband Philipp by her side every step of the way taking on multiple roles as husband, coach, business partner and bike mechanic to name a few, she shares some snippets into life together chasing goals and the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between professional and personal life. Laura's happiness is infectious, she believes a happy athlete is a fast athlete, her enjoyment of a piece of cake every day important in ensuring she gets the balance right in life even at the highest level of sporting success. Her 'train smart, have fun and kick ass' mantra is one that we could all benefit from embracing as we each strive to pursue our own ambitions in sport and in life.  This episode is packed with fun and laughter, motivation and actionable insights for athletes and fans alike.

We discuss the misconception that pain and function improve simultaneously and linearly, and how this can lead to disappointment when progress doesn't match expectations. We highlight that while initial recovery may bring rapid improvement, progress often slows down, and setbacks can occur, which is a normal part of the healing journey. We stress the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when dealing with fractures and other common injuries in endurance athletes, involving sports doctors, physiotherapists, coaches and nutritionists. Additionally, we consider the potential pitfalls of rushing back into activity and the consequences of reintroducing running too soon.  We review the racing from the WTCS race at Cagliari and discuss how that now affects the lineup for Paris 2024.

Since then, he's gone on to become one of the World's biggest triathlon stars, finishing second in Kona in 2022, and then winning in Nice in 2023.

He's now achieved everything on his list. So, what's next, when you've achieved your life long goal by the age of twenty four?

Putting them in the best position for success on race day and beyond.”   “We are continuously looking into new ways to enhance our athlete's journey and training experience, and we are excited to find a partner in TriDot who is a proven industry leader in training technology that benefits both coaches and athletes,” said Andrew Messick, President and CEO for The IRONMAN Group. “Through the tools and resources available, this partnership will help allow our athletes take the guess work out of race preparation so that they can have the successful and rewarding race day they deserve.”   TriDot also provides extensive ongoing support to its global coach community which includes IRONMAN legends like Mark Allen (6x IRONMAN World Champion), Michellie Jones (IRONMAN World Champion & Olympic Silver Medalist), and Mirinda “Rinny” Carfrae (3x IRONMAN World Champion).   "I'm so excited about this partnership. With TriDot, my athletes are consistently getting fitter and faster. I wouldn't coach without it," says Mirinda Carfrae. Mark Allen adds, "On the surface TriDot looks simple.  Underneath that hood is the best training you'll find in triathlon. Ever. Anywhere."   Strava introduces messaging   The problem with Strava messaging is not Strava messaging, it's an environment where women don't feel safe exercising alone or existing online   Coaching Tip: How (and Why) to Test?   This week was a "Test Week" in my training plan. Test weeks are built into the Maintaining and Development Phases of an effective training plan. Tests should be excluded during Race Specific Training where the focus moves to rehearsing and executing at the fitness levels attained during the Development Phase.   The phase cycle looks like 4 weeks of build followed by a Test week. The 4-week build progressively increases the stress load. The Test Week reduces the overall load of the training that week, but inserting each swim, bike and run tests into the week. This also makes the Test week a Recovery week.   Monday - regular swim workout Tuesday - FTP Test (FTP Study: 20-Minute Power / 5-Minute Power) Wednesday - 5K Run Test (10 minute warmup; 5K for time same course every time; 10-20 minute cooldown) Thursday - easy bike Friday - Swim CSS CSS or critical swim speed is the pace at which you swim a 1500 time trial. This is quite simple but an effective way to prepare for long races. Warmup, priming 200, 400 for time, 10 minute recovery, 200 for time CSS (m/sec) = 200 / (time taken for 400m – time taken for 200m)   Benefits of Testing Keeps your training zones current so you are training the correct energy zones Regular testing familiarizes you with the discomfort and pain of pushing high intensity Familiar with all your paces and the relative RPE Helps execute your race pacing See change over time (sometimes that's progress, sometimes not, good to know)   What if you don't know or don't do Training above your body's real zones can leave you overtrained, burned out or injured Training below your body's real zones can leave you under trained, underperformance, or injury on race day for exceeding your abilities Stagnate if adaptions start to happen but training zones are not updated to set up the next progression of development Won't really know where that limit is and how to press to your performance limit in races   Video: What happened to Heather Jackson? As one chapter closes, a new one opens. After 15 years as a professional triathlete, Heather Jackson decided to challenge herself in new ways, build a fresh community, and push her own and other's expectations of what is humanly possible.   In June, Heather tackled the Unbound Gravel 200, often hailed as the "Super Bowl" of gravel bike racing, and the iconic Western States Endurance Run, the world's oldest 100-mile trail race. Facing these demanding events with just a two-week gap between them, the question looms: how will Heather approach her most ambitious goal yet?   #Wahooligan #WahooFrontiers #HeatherJackson Wahoo Frontiers: Heather Jackson

She's a professional triathlete who illustrates the mantra, "Success comes to those who endure just one moment longer."   Rinny was one of the first interviews I did for this podcast three and a half years ago, in episode 6, February 2020.   Mirinda has recently made the tough decision to retire, and we'll be discussing this significant shift in her life, how she came to that decision, and what the process was like. We will explore her most memorable moments, discuss the highs and lows, and get a glimpse into some of her most epic workouts.   We'll discuss the evolution of the sport, how technology has changed the game, and her thoughts on the future of triathlon. And, of course, what life looks like for her after professional racing.   She's a great friend, and I'm excited to get this chance to catch up.   Originally from Australia, and now residing in Boulder, CO Mirinda is a one of the world's most successful triathletes. Her 2007 70.3 World Championships win secured her ticket to the Ironman World Championships in Kona. In 2009 she set a course run record and finished 2nd in her first Kona appearance. She continued her dominance and went on to win three Ironman World Championships in 2010, 2013, and 2014. Her 2013 win included the third fastest marathon of the day including the men's field. Her blistering run course record from 2014 still stands today (2:50:26).   Mirinda is a threat at every race she enters with over 50 wins at major events throughout the world. Her Ironman 70.3 World Championship title and three Ironman World Titles and seven podium finishes in Kona in the span of a decade marks her as one the of the greatest triathletes of all time.   Growing up in Queensland, Australia, Mirinda Carfrae, widely known as “Rinny”, was a sporty child, with basketball her primary focus. At 5' 3”, however, her true athletic potential remained untapped until a high school triathlon coach noticed her speed on the court and suggested she give multisport a go. At the age of 19 she competed in her first triathlon and shortly thereafter–with no prior background in swimming, cycling or running–made the 2001 Australian Junior Elite Team.   Rinny represented Australia at the ITU Triathlon World Championships from 2001-2005, twice earning silver medals (2002 & 2003) before turning her attention to long distance racing. A victory at the Nice Long Course Triathlon (2004) and a silver medal at the ITU Long Course World Championship (2005) were early indicators that endurance was her forte; a third-place podium finish (2006) and ultimately a world title at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship (2007) confirmed Rinny as one of the top talents on the non-draft racing circuit.   That victory was pivotal, not only as a precursor to Rinny's numerous half iron-distance wins to that date, but also to punch her first ever entry ticket to the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, an honor she postponed until 2009. That October, as a wide-eyed Ironman rookie, Rinny stepped off the plane onto the Big Island and was quickly swept up in the race week frenzy, heralded as the next great hope for the title at triathlon's “holy grail” despite having yet to prove her prowess at the distance.   But prove it she did, using her finely-honed foot speed to post a course run record and secure second place. The following year, Rinny's constant drive to improve resulted in her first title as Ironman World Champion. In the years that followed, despite race day struggles that might derail a lesser athlete, Rinny never strayed from the podium steps in Kona, earning second (2011) and third (2012) before regaining her crown in 2013. In so doing she struck fear in the hearts of competitors both male and female, posting the third fastest marathon overall (2:50:38), a new run record enroute to scoring the women's Kona course record in 8:52:14.   2014 was a year filled with exciting new adventures for Rinny. Her winter wedding (December 2013) to fellow triathlete and Ironman Champion Timothy O'Donnell marked the start of a thrilling new chapter in her personal life. Professionally, the reigning Ironman World Champion expanded her horizons to Europe, claiming victory against a highly competitive field at Germany's iconic iron-distance race, Challenge Roth, and confirming that all eyes will be on her yet again in Kona.   Links Be sure and check out bennettendurance.com Find Greg on social media: Twitter @GregBennett1 Instagram @GregBennettWorld   And follow Mirinda Carfrae: website: https://www.mirindacarfrae.com/ twitter: https://twitter.com/mirindacarfrae?lang=en instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirindacarfrae/?hl=en facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rinnytriathlon/   Timestamps 9:06 - Winning Kona 3 times firmly places Mirinda at the top of the sport of Triathlon.

Chelsea Sodaro is a mother and the winner of the Ironman World Championships in Kona.

"It's just the reality of being a parent, and I think it would be easy to just see that as a hindrance or a disadvantage. But I think I've done a pretty good job of flipping that mindset and saying, 'Hey, look at what I've been able to accomplish when things haven't always gone my way!' I don't expect them to go perfectly on race day. So it's almost a little secret weapon that I have in my mental toolbox." In October, track star turned professional triathlete Chelsea Sodaro was 18 months postpartum. She was about to race her second Ironman triathlon: a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run. That Ironman was the Ironman World Championships in Kona. And she won the whole thing, finishing in 8 hours 33 minutes and 46 seconds, and becoming only the second mom in history to win in Kona. In this conversation, Chelsea talks all about her race day — but perhaps more importantly, she talks about the road to Kona. She talks about returning to training and competition as a new mom, and shares for the first time about her experience with postpartum anxiety. It's relatable ("To be totally honest, it's kind of a shitshow," Chelsea says of returning to work without childcare help), it's inspiring ("We can do hard things, and we can do amazing things," she says of being a mom with big dreams), and it's real ("We just cannot do it alone").
