One of the benefits of podcasting is the evergreen inspiring content always available at our fingertips ... no matter where you are in your life or athletic journey.   Recently I found myself flicking back through early shows of The Greg Bennett Show in my own endeavour to learn and find some extra inspiration from the amazing guests I've had the privilege to chat to these past few years.   Dan Lorang joined me back in September 2021 on episode 91. Dan is one of the greatest endurance coaches on the planet. This episode was the most downloaded episodes in 2021 and is still in the top ten most downloaded to date. Dan's athletes have exceled and dominated. Notably, Jan Frodeno and his Ironman World Record, Anne Haug and her mind-boggling victory at Challenge Roth, Lucy Charles Barclay, and her Ironman 70.3 World title, and all his cyclists in the Bora Hansgrohe cycling team.   What an absolute honor and privilege it is to have one of the greatest minds in the world of endurance sport join me for a chat. So, I've decided to run this episode again.   In this episode, Dan is incredibly forthcoming with sharing his wisdom and his knowledge. Dan gives a quick recap of his journey of how he got to where he is, and then we discuss his athlete's performances in 2021 and get a little more specific on his coaching methodology.   There is so much in this episode. Truly outstanding.   Timestamps 0.0 - Introduction to show and advertising 5.30 - Introduction to Dan Lorang 6.00 - General chit-chat - Dan's performances - Dan is living his passion - Dan was determined to work in High-Performance sport - mentoring the younger coaches 9.00 - The Show – "What I'd like to do is do a quick recap of your journey and process to this point and then discuss your athlete's performances in 2021 and get a little more specific on your coaching methodology." 10.40 - Recapping Dan's Journey - finding his passion for sports science and coaching - his boss in engineering told him to go for it - Working with Anne Haag as his first athlete - The German U23 and National head Coach for Triathlon, now Bora Hansgrohe Head coach - Combining Data and psychology 18.50 - Managing time between coaching Triathletes, and the Bora Hansgrohe cycling team and his family - His athletes need a team around him   23.30 - 12 - rapid-fire quick answer questions 1.

Tri Battle Royale did not disappoint!

In this week's episode of the On A Mission podcast we are joined by “The Utter Nutter” World Record holder Steven Green.   Despite being a property millionaire, trainer and public speaker, Steven is perhaps best known for his extreme personality. Over the last few years, he has put his infamous bulletproof mindset to the test. From sleeping rough and taking heroin on the streets of Leeds to completing a double Iron Man with no sleep with only 16 weeks training, it's safe to say there are no half measures with Steven.   In his usual straight-talking style he wasn't scared to voice his opinions and unleash some controversy but I think you'll agree it makes for a fantastic interview.   CONTACT METHODS: Linkedin: Linkedin.com/in/ellie-mckay/ Facebook: Facebook.com/ellie.mckay.3150 Instagram: Instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTIA0t0Xcm2Fz3kOzX3XaBA?sub_confirmation=1 Clubhouse: @ellie83 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nothing can slow down Episode 7 guest, Tim Don. Not even getting hit by a car. Starting his career as…

Today's episode we got to chat with Mel Hauschildt! So I’m excited to be connecting with Mel today because not only is she another SCODY advocate like myself, but she also probably has the biggest list of accolades in Triathlon that quite frankly I’ve ever seen! Now I’ve never been one to list everything out; but to highlight a few of her stats here; she was a 2x IM 70.3 World Champion, ITU Long Distance World Champion, she’s a 30x IM 70.3 Champion (Yes.. 30 as in 3 0), she has 23 course records and the most sub 4:10 IM 70.3’s held by any female, and honestly the list goes on. Now Melissa actually owned the IRONMAN World Record by a female with a 8:31:05 win at the IM North American Championships in April 2018!! In today's episode we go over details on her most recent accident and how she's been coping with the injuries. We also pick her brain on what are the best races out there for an age grouper to add to their bucket list, and we talk a ton about training tips for age groupers! This is definitely a Podcast that requires your full attention because there's just so much great info! Thanks Mel!

Ironman World Record holder Tim Don was a favourite to win the 2017 Ironman World Championship in Kona. He arrived on the Big Island early to acclimatize but while out on a short training ride two days before the race, the worst happened: he was hit by a car and broke his neck.  If he wanted any hope of ever competing again, he had to make the choice to get a halo screwed into his skull. A friend suggested recording his recovery journey, and that video has been turned into the new documentary presented by On Running, The Man with the Halo. On today's edition of the Triathlon Taren podcast, we talk to Tim about the accident, the documentary, what it feels like to get screws drilled into your head, his never-quit attitude, and whether he sees himself racing Kona again in the future. LINKS FROM THE PODCAST: Tim Don's website Tim Don's Instagram The Man with the Halo documentary On Running  

In 2017 Tim Don broke the Ironman World record at the South American Championship in Brazil. He took four minutes off the previous time. Months later, just days before the World Championships, Tim was hit by a car while he was training on his bike in Hawaii. His neck was broken. On this week’s Best in the World with Richard Parr podcast, Tim talks about his remarkable recovery from the crash. Just over six months from the injury Tim is aiming to compete in the Boston Marathon. He also talks about growing up running with Mo Farah, his dad being former Premier League referee Philip Don and his decision to now live in the United States. You can follow Tim on @tri_thedon on Instagram.
