We open with an update on Jelle Geens, who has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his femur that has put his season on hold, including his pursuit of an Ironman World Championship qualification slot. Then we get into Lionel Sanders, who has confirmed he is working again with Mikal Iden after a difficult stretch dealing with RED-S and injury. Sanders is leaning into the Norwegian method as he targets Kona 2026. The big story of the week is Ironman Hamburg, where metal shards were deliberately spread across the bike course in the Kirchwerder area, causing an estimated 400 punctures and forcing more than 100 age groupers to DNF. Police have launched a formal investigation. Despite all of that, the pro race went ahead and Solveig Løvseth took her fourth consecutive full-distance Ironman win, holding off Laura Philipp by just over a minute to claim the European Championship title. We then recap T100 San Francisco, where Rico Bogen backed up his 2025 win with another dominant performance, going early on the bike and never looking back. Hayden Wilde, dealing with illness, had no answer for him. We close out looking ahead to Ironman Frankfurt on June 28, where Gustav Iden and Casper Stornes lead the field, and Magnus Ditlev finally makes his long-awaited 2026 season debut, plus a look at other upcoming start lists.

What if the same thing that nearly destroyed you is the reason you become unstoppable? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Ken Rideout, world champion marathoner, former Wall Street trader, and recovering addict whose life reads like a story most people wouldn't believe. From a rough, blue-collar upbringing in Massachusetts to winning an ultramarathon across the Gobi Desert, Ken's path has been anything but linear. This conversation digs into how grit actually gets built, why money never filled the void he expected it to, and what it takes to bet on yourself when everyone around you says you can't. Here's what you'll learn: Why toughness isn't something you're born with, and how you can teach it to yourself Why money won't make you happier, even after going from broke to wealthy What it takes to turn a failure into the fire that drives everything after Ken built his comeback one decision at a time, and this episode shows you how to do the same. (00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:19) Why Ken wrote the memoir (00:04:33) A rough upbringing (00:07:49) Is hustle born or built? (00:09:23) The road to Wall Street (00:14:47) Money, watches, and insecurity (00:16:10) How addiction took hold (00:17:24) The constant struggle to stay sober (00:19:37) Why high achievers are wired differently (00:22:03) Finding endurance sports (00:24:24) Quitting the Ironman World Championships (00:32:10) The race across the Gobi Desert (00:39:15) How he defines success now (00:47:33) What it means to be a game changer ---- Links & Resources: Ken Rideout Everything You Want Is on the Other Side of Hard by Ken Rideout David Goggins Mitchell Hooper Darren Waller Mat Fraser Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer Elon Musk Jeff Bezos Mark Zuckerberg ---- Learn what sustainable growth can look like for your firm at crispcoach.com. ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Major General David Smith, USAF, deputy to the Chief of Air Force Reserve at the Pentagon. You’ll learn about a realm most people never get to see: the intersection of high-stakes national defense, cutting-edge technology and extreme physical endurance. General Smith is a combat-proven command pilot with over 4,000 flying hours—including 700 in combat across operations like Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. On his last appearance, as an F-16 Squadron Commander, he discussed what it takes to get your goals and dreams airborne. Since then, his leadership journey has scaled significantly. In this episode, we aren’t just talking about flying fighter jets. We are tracking a lifetime journey of constant re-invention—from the cockpit of an F-16, to operationalizing the advanced F-35 platform, to studying Artificial Intelligence at MIT and Harvard. We also dive deep into General Smith’s core thesis: why physical fitness is a non-negotiable leadership responsibility, and how that legacy of grit is carrying forward to the next generation of American leaders. General David Smith has flown in combat and conquered the Ironman World Championship, and shares insights about why physical grit, constant re-invention and data-driven innovation are the ultimate keys to sustaining your life’s goals. You will not only learn about leadership, but also about teamwork, humility, trust, and translating cockpit “wingman” reliance into selflessness and service in corporate culture. General Smith’s own 30+ year career spans commanding fighter squadrons, operationalizing the cutting-edge F-35, and studying Artificial Intelligence at MIT, Harvard and John Hopkins. He knows exactly what skills the next generation will need to navigate a rapidly evolving future. You’ll learn about the Ironman Mindset, breaking down the mental “wall” of an endurance race to conquer massive organizational barriers. And you’ll learn about the Future of Talent; Why tomorrow’s leaders must anchor themselves in STEM and AI while maintaining core human values. General Smith also talks about family legacy, and he and his wife Stacy raised two incredible, service-driven daughters: Sidney (Virgnia Military Institute graduate) and Ella (a standout collegiate athlete at the U.S. Naval Academy). Whether you are an aspiring young professional or a C-suite executive, this discussion is packed with actionable wisdom.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Kyle and Brent Pease. The Pease brothers are a world-renowned push-assist duo, disability advocates, and co-founders of The Kyle Pease Foundation, a nonprofit that champions inclusivity in sports and the workforce for individuals with disabilities. Their inspiring journey has captivated audiences worldwide, especially after they made history as the first brother team to complete the grueling IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, as a push-assist duo. Born with cerebral palsy, Kyle has defied expectations, completing over 150 races alongside Brent and empowering individuals with disabilities through his personal journey. As a tireless advocate, Kyle inspires others to pursue their dreams, regardless of the barriers they face. Kyle is actively involved with The Kyle Pease Foundation, focusing on initiatives like adaptive sports equipment, inclusive employment, and scholarship programs. A graduate of Kennesaw State University with a degree in Sports Management, he also works part-time as a greeter at Publix and at Atlanta Braves games, where he spreads his message of inclusion and resilience. As the Executive Director of The Kyle Pease Foundation, Brent brings both passion and expertise to the cause. A seasoned endurance coach and multi-sport athlete, Brent has completed over 125 races, including 6 IRONMAN events with Kyle. His journey in sports began in 2007 and has since evolved into a career advocating for greater inclusivity in sports and employment for individuals with disabilities. Brent's leadership has fueled the Foundation's mission to break down barriers and promote inclusive employment through programs like the Inclusive Employment Program. He is a Florida State University alumnus and resides in Atlanta with his wife and two children. Together, Brent and Kyle continue to pave the way for inclusion in both sports and society. Through The Kyle Pease Foundation, they have championed 100's of athletes and raised over $10 million, providing adaptive equipment and opportunities that empower individuals with disabilities to realize their full potential.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Ultraman Australia's 2026 champions, Mark Thomson and Nat Dodd, to unpack how they manage 515 kilometers across three days in Noosa with calm pacing, tight recovery routines, and crews that never miss a beat. Mark Thomson joins from New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula and breaks down how a first-time Ultraman athlete paces like a veteran: conservative swimming, steady biking by feel, and relentless fueling that protects day three. We talk crew roles, staying calm when the leaderboard is separated by seconds, and what it's like to have a school community tracking you through a 515-kilometer endurance test. Then we get into the closer: his run plan and the mindset behind dropping a sub-7-hour double marathon after two days of racing.Nat Dodd, also from New Zealand, shares the other side of the podium and the same core truth: execution beats drama. She explains the nutrition shift that finally solved race-day GI issues, her swim feeding routine with a paddler, and how her crew's energy kept her from going dark. We also talk pacing discipline on the double marathon, her “lungefluencer” moment on course, workplace support, and what she's considering next, from Ultraman New Zealand to a return to the Ironman World Championship.Be sure to check out all the action from the YouTube Livestream.If you're into Ultraman, Ironman, long-distance triathlon training, endurance nutrition, or building a crew system that actually works, this one is packed with practical takeaways.

In this episode, coach Daniel Rowland and myself each bring two recent research studies to the table that we have found interesting and potentially useful for athletes and coaches. We discuss the implications and practical takeaways of the findings, how athletes can implement the findings in practice, and the strengths and weaknesses of the different studies. Whether you listen for the love of endurance sports science, or because you want to keep up to date with the cutting edge in triathlon training, this one is for you. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: A study looking into two types of torque training: very short maximal effort low-cadence sprints, and classic four-minute torque intervals just below Critical Power. Does ketone ester supplementation have direct performance-enhancing benefits? How age-group triathletes actually carb-loaded before the Ironman World Championships - did they hit the optimal amounts of carbohydrates or not? A review on the science of pacing, and practical takeaways including specific sessions to improve pacing. DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

The title, the salary, the accolades; but they feel completely hollow on the inside. Kenny Stoddart lived that version for nearly three decades, and what he built from the wreckage of it is changing the way high performers think about identity, leadership, and what it actually means to be strong.A former global cybersecurity executive who spent 27 years with VeriSign, Symantec, and Sectigo, Kenny drove hundreds of millions in channel revenue and earned President's Club honours sixteen times. By every external measure, he was winning. Behind that career, he was simultaneously navigating addiction and serious health challenges, including a Stage 2b prostate cancer diagnosis. When the structure of performance-based identity finally cracked, Kenny didn't retreat. He rebuilt, and that rebuilding process became Identity Gain™.Unlike conventional recovery models, Identity Gain™ is built on a fundamentally different premise: you don't go back. You build forward. The framework helps high achievers acquire what Kenny calls internal assets, clarity, conviction, internal authority, boundaries, and direction. These are the things no résumé achievement or external crisis can take or give, and they are what make someone not just functional again, but stronger and more anchored than they have ever been.The people Kenny works with aren't struggling with skill gaps. They're struggling with identity gaps, executives and leaders performing at the top while quietly collapsing underneath. His IronMind Mentality program addresses both the surface performance and the root cause, beginning with the Iron Audit: a brutally honest diagnostic of where a client truly is.An IronMan World Championship triathlete, MBA graduate with Highest Honours from The Citadel, and currently pursuing a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Kenny brings lived experience to everything he teaches. Featured in Forbes, Psychology Today, Men's Health, CNBC, and Nasdaq, his message is simple even if the work is not: the version of you that emerges from the hardest chapter of your life can be the strongest one yet.To learn more about Identity Gain™, or to contact Kenny directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

In Part 2, Kyle and Brent Pease go beyond the race course and into the harder terrain — the screaming match in a New York City taxi after a broken wheelchair nearly ended their marathon, the board member who called every morning during school drop-off, and what it actually takes to build an organization that can run without you. This is where the mission meets the mechanics, and where two brothers figure out how to grow up together in public. In this episode: How Kyle and Brent built the Kyle Pease Foundation from scratch — including the nine months it took to help their very first family, the decision to race at least once a month to create visibility, and how they've grown from six events in 2013 to 64 events across 14 states last year The New York City Marathon story: the wheelchair broke mid-race, Brent spent an hour trying to fix it with help from the NYPD, and eventually told Kyle he was done — and what Kyle said back that got them across the finish line Brent's framework for hiring in a nonprofit: passion for the mission matters more than fit for the role, and for every non-disabled hire, he wants to add another employee with a disability doing real work — not stuffing envelopes The Dick Hoyt lesson — the father behind the famous push-assist duo called Brent before the 2018 IRONMAN World Championship and gave him these words of advice: "just keep pushing the pedals" How Kyle became the athlete-coach he is today: years of sitting on the sidelines, listening to adults talk, and watching his brother compete gave him an observer's precision that most coaches never develop Support the Kyle Pease Foundation Dwayne is matching donations — up to $5,000 total.

Kyle and Brent Pease have completed more than 100 races together — including two IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawaii — and in 2024 they broke the push-assist course record with a finish time of 14 hours, 8 minutes, and 3 seconds. Kyle, born with cerebral palsy, is the coach, the motivator, and the athlete who has to be the most positive force in the world for 15 hours straight while his brother, Brent, pushes him across 140.6 miles. What looks like a sports story from the outside is something much harder to categorize: a 15-year study in resilience, gratitude, and what it actually means to show up when both of you want to quit. In Part 1 of their conversation: How Brent and Kyle broke the push-assist course record at the 2024 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii — and what 15 years of racing together has taught themWhy Brent says true balance is an illusion — and how he and Kyle define "all in" as the real unit of energy management, shifting fully between Ironman training, family, and the foundation depending on the season Kyle's framework for getting out of dark moments: prayer, music, visualization, and the discipline of reducing the time between a hard moment and a shift in perspective What the foundation's inclusive employment program looks like on the ground How racing together has taught both brothers to say "I'm not okay" — and why that vulnerability has become one of their greatest competitive and leadership advantages Support the Kyle Pease Foundation Dwayne is matching donations — up to $5,000 total.

Ever feel like you're grinding so hard that your body just... breaks? Like you're doing all the right things on paper but still feel like garbage? Yeah. Eric Hinman's been there too. And he went from out-of-shape insurance salesman to five-time Ironman World Championship competitor. So it's safe to say he figured some things out along the way. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing the Guest Guru Training that Eric Hinman delivered exclusively to our Happy Hustle Club. Eric is an endurance athlete, serial entrepreneur, investor, and content creator who's built an entire life and business around optimized health. He grew up in a tiny town in upstate New York, started his first business three weeks after graduating college, and spent years building companies, losing money, getting hurt, burning out, and coming back stronger every single time. Now in his mid-40s, he's competing in Ironmans, hosting wellness retreats for founders, and honestly just living what most guys only dream about. This episode matters because Eric doesn't just talk about health in theory. He lives it every single day, and he breaks it all down in a way that's practical, honest, and straight to the point. One of the biggest things Eric drives home is this: don't try to fix everything at once. When he made his health shift, he didn't overhaul his entire life overnight. He started with exercise. Just that. Once it became second nature, he moved on to diet. Then sleep. Then recovery. Each thing got his full attention before he touched the next one. It sounds almost too simple, but that's exactly why it works. Most people quit because they try to change ten things at once and get overwhelmed. Eric's approach is patient, focused, and it compounds over time in a serious way. Eric also talks a lot about designing your environment to match the life you want. His home in Austin isn't just where he lives. It's a content hub, a product seeding space, a wellness retreat, and a lead generation tool all in one. People come over almost every night to use his sauna and cold plunge, and he's met thousands of people that way. Some of them become collaborators, investors, or brand partners. None of that was forced. It just happened because he built his environment around the things he loves most. That's a mindset shift worth sitting with. On the supplement side, Eric keeps it pretty clean and practical. Creatine has been a staple for him since college, and he's a big believer in getting enough protein daily, aiming for at least one gram per pound of bodyweight. He takes magnesium for sleep and recovery, a testosterone support supplement with natural ingredients, and beef organ capsules from Ancestral Supplements. He's not chasing every shiny new thing on the market. He sticks to what works and what he actually believes in, which is probably why it all adds up the way it does. Sleep is non-negotiable for Eric, and he treats it that way. He's in bed by nine, asleep by nine-thirty, room at sixty-six degrees, sleep mask on, earplugs in. He rarely schedules anything before seven in the morning so he can protect those eight hours. He's not perfect about it, but his commitment to sleep is consistent, and he says it's one of the biggest reasons his recovery, energy, and mental clarity stay sharp. The last thing that really stands out from this conversation is how Eric thinks about business. He built a model where everything connects. He's got equity in the brands he works with, he consults for them, he earns affiliate revenue, and he hosts retreats that bring the right people together. Every part of his life feeds into the next. He's not separating his health from his business or his social life from his brand. It all lives in the same ecosystem, and that's what makes it sustainable and honestly, pretty inspiring. If you've been feeling like your health keeps getting pushed to the back burner, or you're not sure where to even start, this episode is going to hit different. Eric's story is proof that you don't need to be an athlete your whole life to build a body and a lifestyle you're proud of. You just need to start somewhere and stay consistent long enough for it to matter. Go listen to the full episode at https://caryjack.com/podcastin/. It's worth your time.

What does it look like to chase greatness without losing yourself along the way? How did Chelsea Sodaro win the Ironman World Championship just 18 months after giving birth? In this episode, the triathlon world champion shares her powerful story of motherhood, mindset, and elite training, revealing what happens when choosing family first becomes the very thing that elevates you to the top of your sport. From early struggles with fear in open water to stepping away from competition at the height of her career, this conversation redefines what success can look like in endurance sports and reminds us that being a triathlon beginner at any stage requires courage, curiosity, and a willingness to start again. Along the way, Chelsea opens up about what it really takes to grow in triathlon, from developing mental toughness in chaotic swim starts to embracing the long, quiet work behind every race. Her path is anything but linear, shaped by risk, reinvention, and the ongoing balance between ambition and personal values. Whether you are training for your first race or finding your footing in a new season of life, her story offers something to hold onto. At its core, this conversation is about more than performance. It is about choosing what matters, staying grounded in your values, and trusting that the unseen work is shaping something greater. Wherever you are in your triathlon journey, this is your reminder that every time you try, you are already winning. Join the Tri Beginner's Luck Community: Enjoyed this episode?

Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about an endurance athlete by what they avoid, and Brittney Litton avoids swimming. Then she signs up for Ultraman anyway, including a 10K swim, back-to-back monster bike days, and a double-marathon finish. Brittney joins us from New Zealand to talk about life as a working mom of two, a self-described “average” athlete with an anything-but-average appetite for big goals -- including wanting to set a new women's record time.Racing lessons land hardest in the Kona Ironman recap. Brittany breaks down how over-concentrated carb bottles, post-swim thirst, and relying on Coke can spiral into vomiting, cramps, and survival mode in heat and humidity. That story becomes a blueprint for smarter fueling: drink water early, keep mixes tolerable, and respect the environment. She pairs it with the Tarawera ultra experience, where a hip flexor issue forces an awkward running pattern and a painful finish, proving that pacing and problem-solving matter as much as fitness. Finally, we zoom out to Ultraman preparation: crew planning, swim anxiety, long rides, Pilates for core strength, and the mindset shift from chasing splits to treating races as tests. It is a grounded look at how an “average” athlete builds toward an extraordinary start line.Resources mentioned in this episode:UM Australia UM New ZealandLord of the RIngsIM TaupoTaupo 70.3Harry PotterZwiftMyWhooshR.I.O.T.

What if the greatest victories in life aren't achieved alone? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul sits down with IRONMAN World Championship world record holders Brent and Kyle Pease to explore a remarkable story...
Listeners meet Bianca Fernandez-Clark, a seven-time Ironman finisher, co-founder of Women in Tri UK, and a tireless advocate for inclusion in endurance sport. What begins as a conversation about one woman's journey into triathlon quickly becomes something bigger. This is a story about learning to swim at 29, navigating start lines as a Black Latino woman, and transforming isolation into impact for hundreds of women who deserve to feel seen in triathlon. Bianca did not grow up swimming or cycling. She entered the sport for her mental health and found herself in elite-focused spaces that did not always know what to do with a true beginner. Her first Ironman 70.3 was about making cutoffs rather than podiums. That experience as a beginner triathlete became the blueprint for change. After an unexpected opportunity to race at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, where she became the first Dominican athlete to compete, she realized that representation in triathlon matters more than most people understand. The visibility inspired others back home and clarified her mission moving forward. That mission evolved into Women in Tri UK, a thriving community of more than 700 members. What began as financial support for first-timers has grown into mentorship, research, advocacy, and race partnerships that are shifting the landscape for women in triathlon. From pushing for larger swim caps to advocating for pregnancy deferrals and more inclusive race policies, the work is practical and powerful. This episode reminds us that triathlon is not only about splits and transitions. It is fundamentally about belonging. If you have ever felt like the only one in the room or unsure of where you fit in the sport, this episode is for you. If you are a race director, coach, or teammate wondering how to build diversity and inclusion in triathlon, this conversation offers both heart and a blueprint. And if you are simply a beginner trying to figure it out one workout at a time, you will hear proof that your starting point can become someone else's open door. Listen in, share with a training partner, and keep showing up. The sport grows stronger when more of us see ourselves at the start line. Let's tri this !

In this powerful and honest episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we sit down with Emma Tucker, an Age Group Athlete from Australia whose journey to Ironman is nothing short of remarkable. Emma opens up about living an unhealthy lifestyle before a serious health scare pushed her to make a change that would alter the course of her life. Over the span of a year, she lost nearly 80 kilos, openly sharing her decision to undergo weight loss surgery and documenting the entire process on Instagram to help educate and support others.Emma walks us through relearning how to eat, exercise, and manage stress—including starting with just an hour a day on an elliptical in her garage and changing jobs to create a healthier lifestyle. She shares how her Ironman journey began by simply running from one road reflector to the next, her unique fueling strategy of eight small meals per day, lessons learned from her first major injury, and a hilarious moment when her physical therapist “ratted her out” to her coach. The conversation culminates with Emma qualifying for and racing the 2025 Ironman World Championships in Kona.This episode is a must-listen for any Age Group Athlete chasing big goals, one small step at a time.#TheEverydayIronman #AgeGroupAthlete #IronmanJourney #TriathlonLife #IronmanWorldChampionships #Kona2025 #TransformationStoryFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

The things we love most about Taylor Knibb is her honesty, her detailed & analytical story telling and her contagious energy. Today's podcast has all of that in spades. Taylor goes through her 2025 year in detail we've not come close to hearing anywhere else. From a tough start to the year with burn out, stress and T100 contract negotiations to the crazy events that unfolded when she collapsed with 2km to go whilst in the lead of the Ironman World Championships in Kona, we go into it all. Taylor was as honest and open as you'll likely ever hear her and all we can do is thank her for that because it made for a podcast that's a bit different from your standard one. We hope you enjoy it.

Our first guests of 2026 are familiar names in endurance sport here in Ireland; Rob Cummins and Aisling Coppinger who share with us an honest and inspiring conversation about life, love and longevity in sport. Owners of Wheelworx, they are well known faces at triathlon and multisport events as both athletes and event support. In this episode, Rob and Aisling reflect on their individual paths into triathlon, from early beginnings as novices to competing on the world stage. Rob shares his long journey through IRONMAN racing, including early doubts and how his training approach has evolved over time, whilst Aisling shares insight into her transition from running into triathlon and the challenge of overcoming a deep fear of open water swimming. A key focus of this episode is their 2025 season, where they embraced a whirlwind World Championship Tour that saw them race and support each other at the IRONMAN World Championship in Nice where Rob raced, Kona where Aisling raced and Marbella with both of them racing the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship where their season culminated in the Costa Del Sol. They offer insight into the demands of each event, from race conditions and strategy to the emotional impact of lining up in Kona. Both Aisling and Rob reflect on what these experiences mean to them beyond results, highlighting gratitude, perspective, enjoyment and the journey to the start and finish line of each race they embraced. The conversation also explores how they balance commitment to their training with running a successful and busy business whilst maintaining a strong personal relationship. Training together, supporting each other through setbacks and simplifying routines have become central to their approach. This is a great chat with Aisling and Rob, with reflections on what triathlon has given them and how they look ahead to future races with curiosity rather than pressure, emphasising teamwork, resilience and the importance of enjoying the journey. This renewed energy and perspective on triathlon racing, a far cry from the years of 'Chasing Kona' as detailed in Rob's book published almost a decade ago.
Send us a textBrent and Kyle's story is rooted in life-shaping experiences that led them to become who they are today.Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, leaving him with full cognitive ability but very limited physical mobility. He lives life in a wheelchair and requires assistance with daily tasks like eating. Brent is Kyle's older brother, and they grew up in a household where their family never accepted limitations on what was possible for Kyle.Today, Brent acts as Kyle's legs so Kyle can compete in some of the world's most challenging endurance events — including the IRONMAN World Championship (140.6 miles) and the Boston Marathon among several others. Not only are they completing these races as a push-assist duo, they've also raised millions through The Kyle Pease Foundation to give other individuals with disabilities the chance to experience their own finish-line moments. Their efforts also support inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities who, like Kyle, deserve meaningful roles and visibility.We had a great conversation and you will love this inspiring episode!

Natalie Grabow made history by becoming the first woman ever to finish the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona at the age of 80, a milestone that stands as a powerful testament to resilience, determination and passion. Natalie's journey into sport began in a very different era, growing up at a time when opportunities for women in sport were limited. Despite a naturally competitive spirit, it wasn't until later in life that she found her way into endurance sport, first discovering running in her late thirties before taking on triathlon at the age of 59. In this inspiring episode Natalie reflects on her late start in triathlon, her love for cycling and the mindset that carried her through years of training and competition. She shares insights from her multiple appearances and podium finishes at the Ironman World Championship, including her historic race in Kona this year, where consistency, patience and experience proved just as important as physical strength. Natalie also speaks openly about the obstacles and challenges she's faced along the way, from managing injuries to balancing the demands of training whilst caring for her husband. With the unwavering support of her family, coach and community, she has continued to show up, race and pursue ambitious goals, continuing to challenge expectations and redefine what's possible in endurance sport. This episode is a powerful and uplifting reminder that age is not a limitation, that it's never too late to begin something new and that perseverance, passion and consistency can carry us further than we ever imagined. Natalie Grabow's story is one of inspiration, wisdom and perspective and one that will resonate far beyond the world of triathlon and endurance sport.
Happy Holidays! The final episode of the season brings Tri Beginner's Luck full circle with a conversation that is as grounding as it is inspiring. Mark Allen, six-time Ironman World Champion, coach, and lifelong student of the sport, joins the show for a story that reminds us why beginners matter and why mindset always wins. What unfolds is not just a highlight reel of victories, but a deeply human journey that began with fear in the water and curiosity sparked by watching Ironman on television. Mark reflects on his earliest days in triathlon, when swimming felt familiar but the bike and run introduced uncertainty, discomfort, and growth. He shares how persistence, patience, and a willingness to learn carried him from beginner status to the professional ranks, emphasizing that fulfillment in triathlon is not reserved for the fastest athletes, but for those committed to discovering what they are capable of becoming. The conversation dives into the power of mindset and learning, including lessons from Mark's first races and his ability to manage negative thoughts mid-competition. He speaks candidly about how every race, whether successful or disappointing, offers valuable feedback. With the season's reset theme as a backdrop, this episode encourages reflection, recalibration, and intentional goal-setting, whether the focus is racing fast, staying consistent, or simply continuing to show up. Mark also revisits his legendary Kona journey, sharing stories of near-misses, mechanical setbacks, and years of frustration before finally claiming the Ironman World Championship title. His breakthrough came not from chasing comparison, but from embracing authenticity and racing as himself. That shift led to a historic performance and serves as a powerful reminder that progress often follows alignment rather than pressure. As the conversation closes, Mark shares his evolution from athlete to coach and advocate, highlighting the importance of curiosity, balance, and consistency over time. He discusses the continued growth of the Limitless program, a free initiative designed to welcome more women into triathlon by removing barriers and building community. With plans to expand its reach and deepen its impact, his commitment to the grassroots of the sport reflects a legacy rooted in service, access, and long-term influence. This season finale invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and begin again with intention. Whether you are brand new, starting over, or redefining your relationship with the sport, this episode offers perspective, wisdom, and a renewed belief that there is meaning to be found in every mile.

Dom and guest host Rachel Entrekin kick off the holidays by sorting ultra runners into naughty and nice — because taking your family to an exotic location is great, but not mentioning you're racing and they're crewing is a different vibe entirely. They also run through the gifts no trail runner wants to unwrap, from anti-chafe sticks laced with capsaicin to a lovingly framed photo of you mid-bonk. Then it's time for Lucy Bartholomew, Australian ultrarunning star and the fastest person to complete both the Ironman World Championships and UTMB in a single season. Lucy explains why Aussie Santa wears budgie smugglers, ranks Australian insults from "goose" to "muppet," and reveals that telling ultra runners you kind of like triathlon is harder than telling triathletes that 100-milers are actually worse. The episode wraps with an international slang showdown where Lucy decodes Southern phrases like "cattywampus" while Dom and Rachel butcher "hard yakka." Merry Christmas, you flaming galahs.

We review the carbohydrate intake ranges along with the fluid and sodium data and add context for what may explain the differences among the pros and why these strategies don't always translate to age-group competition.Links:Article from Triathlete.com: An Analysis of Ironman World Championship Pros' High-Carb Nutrition Plans What are your questions about high carb fueling?

The government has announced an independent inquiry into repeated failings in maternity services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Earlier this year, a BBC investigation revealed that the deaths of at least 56 babies and two mothers over the past five years at the Trust could perhaps have been avoided. BBC correspondent Divya Talwar joins Nuala McGovern, alongside Lauren Caulfield and Amarjit Kaur Matharoo, who both tragically lost their babies while receiving care at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. This month, the Ironman World Championships were held in Kona, Hawaii, where Britain's Kat Matthews won silver. The men's and women's championships, previously held simultaneously, were split into separate events in 2023. However, they are set to reunite next year. Questions have been raised about the impact this change may have on female competitors. To discuss the championships and celebrate Kat's achievement, Nuala is joined by Kat Matthews and Jordan Blanco, a contributor to Triathlete magazine who attended the event. A new report reveals that progress towards gender equity in the architecture profession still remains too slow. Inequalities remain deeply rooted — with pay disparities, toxic and exclusionary workplace cultures, and half of female respondents surveyed said they had been bullied, and a third had experienced sexual harassment at work. Nuala hears from Valerie Vaughan-Dick, Chief Executive of Royal Institute of British Architects, and Helen Lee who was the project architect on a social housing development in London for the elderly which has just won this year's Stirling Prize for Architecture. The Essex witch trials represent one of the darkest chapters in British history. A new Sky History series, Witches of Essex, revisits the real lives of women accused of witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries, drawing on newly examined court records and the latest historical research. Historian Dr Eleanor Janega joins Nuala to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor
