Non Stanford has been involved in and surrounded by sport for her entire life. She was destined for big things on the track and was 3x Welsh Schools 1500m champion, before being mentored by Dame Kelly Holmes. But injuries took their toll and Non made a successful transition into triathlon. She moved to Leeds and in 2012, she was crowned U23 World Champion. Just a year later, she became ITU World Champion. But Non has had her fair share of ups and downs since. 2014 was wiped out by injury, in 2016, she finished 4th behind GB teammate Vicky Holland at the Rio Olympics. At the end of 2018 Non left the Leeds set up to join Joel Filliol’s squad. She won WTS Hamburg in 2019, before having knee surgery at the end of the year which put her hopes of a second Olympics in doubt. You’ll hear: *Non open up about the disappointed after the Rio Olympics and ‘not dealing with it’ at the time *How she considered jacking it all in *The key thing she has learnt from Joel Filliol “You don’t need to push really hard in training to race well” *The downside of pressure and being a perfectionist *Her love for Geraint Thomas (as well as fiancee Aaron Royle, obvs), Taylor Swift doc and her Grandma’s welsh cakes Like what you heard?

It’s not quite like walking on the moon, but it’s not far off, but sometimes when you are in the depths of injury and rehab, you think ‘will I ever get back to running?’ but this gives a glimmer of hope that normality will resume.  I’ve been on a bike from about week 3 or 4 of rehab, but I am really restricted on the intensity I am able to do and until week 16 I am not allowed to go over 100 watts. I think I would struggle to get off my drive at 100 watts.  I’m doing a lot on the indoor trainer and I have an altitude generator so even thought I am riding easy, I am getting some cardio vascular benefits. 3.30 What are you like as a patient?...

Chris McCormack is one of the true legends of triathlon. A 2 x Kona winner, 6 x Ironman Australia, 2 x ITU World Champion, and 4 x winner at Challenge Roth, and one of the few men to go sub 8 hours in his day. Since retiring from competition, Chris has introduced SuperLeague Tri to the World - innovative race formats, making fast, furious and exciting sport for both the fans and the athletes. In an honest and open interview, he talks about how he battled constant self doubt and negative self image during his racing years, projecting an aggressive prize-fighter persona to deflect attention from worries about his abilities, insecurities and body weight worries. He talks about how a plans for a super-race against Lance Armstrong went sour, and how that in part led to the idea for SuperLeague Tri. He talks about his favourite athletes racing at the moment, and who he thinks will be in the spotlight in 2020. More than anything, Chris is one of the most passionate fans of triathlon that you will ever meet, and his infectious enthusiasm for bringing the sport to more people really shines through during this interview.Show Sponsors:https://www.precisionhydration.com/ - Leaders in triathlete sweat testing and hydration, with multi-strength electrolytes that match how you sweat.

This is the inspirational story of a British triathlon legend, Helen Jenkins (https://helenjenkins.co.uk/) . Helen is a 2x ITU World Champion and 3x Olympian and is preparing to make her middle distance debut at Ironman 70.3 Dubai in February.  But Helen hasn't raced since 2016.    Over the last four years, Helen has had 2 children, but she also feared her triathlon career would be over for ever when she had intensive back surgery in 2018 (https://huubdesign.com/blogs/news/helen-jenkins-presurgery-blog) .    I think you'll love the interview, as Helen is really relaxed, funny and brings a refreshing perspective to life as a professional triathlete. You'll hear: *Why she is excited and nervous in equal measure ahead of her first race since 2016 after such a long break *Her fears that she would never stand on a start line again *How she has come to terms with the disappointment of finishing 5th at the London Olympics, when she was one of the favourites to take the win *Why listening to your OWN body is the best piece of advice for new mums and mums-to-be. * If she'll be signing up for Ironman Wales any time soon Like what you heard?

FRIEND OF THE SHOW www.komfuel.co.uk (https://www.insidetrishow.com/www.komfuel.co.uk) INTERVIEW TIME LINE* (not the whole episode) Mixture of nerves and excitement about racing for the first time since September 2016. "I know I’m nowhere near the levels of where I was when I was qualifying for the Olympics or winning a World Triathlon series, I’ve just not had enough time, but I’ve been training since Max was a month old , so in 7 months, and I am happy with where I have got to." 01.15 I had to commit to a goal, I had to commit to something. I was just training and doing bits and and pieces. Without a goal, say the kids had had a rough night and I was tired, I’d be like ‘ah, I won’t go swimming this morning’ but with that goal, I have to go and do it. 01.50 I’m nervous about the distance and where my fitness is. I stopped training with Max at 16 weeks and I literally did half an hour a day and it wasn’t every day and I just don’t know where I am in terms of fitness. 03.00 If you went to a World Series and you were really fit and you came 30th, you’d be really disappointed. If you went to a World Series and you were aiming to win and you came third but had a really good performance, you’d still be relatively happy. But with this race and the new distance, if I just finish it, I think I will be relatively happy. To come back from where I have been would be an achievement just to finish it.  03.30 Did you think you would ever get on the start line again? No, not really.  After the Rio Support this podcast

A special bonus episode where Siri tells her story to Tony Robbins on his podcast about her journey to World Champion Triathlete and coach. You can listen to the original recording here https://www.tonyrobbins.com/podcasts/letting-go-fear/Where do you go from failure? The most successful people in the world have recorded massive failures, and, for many of them, failure was the greatest influence in their ascent to greatness. Why?It comes down to perspective; failure is only the end if you choose to see it that way.We all have the power to choose. We can't control events, but we can choose what to focus on, we can choose what those events mean, and we can choose what to do now. These three decisions control our lives. So it is not the conditions of our lives, but rather the decisions that determine our destiny.In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, hosts Tony Robbins and Mary Buckheit explore how to shift your focus to being true to yourself, bouncing back from defeat, and embracing who you are.They speak to their friend and hero, Siri Lindley. A former 2-time ITU World Champion, Siri was recently inducted to the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame. She is a Brown University graduate and has coached field hockey and lacrosse at Ivy League schools.In her coaching career, Siri has helped a number of Olympic and Ironman athletes win championships, including Mirinda Carfrae. While we were fascinated by her incredible success, we invited her to the podcast to learn more about her unique life experiences.In this episode, Siri opens up about fear, suffering, recruiting, training, triathlons, coaching and love. She explains to Tony and Mary how these life challenges ultimately became her greatest gifts.Siri and Tony help us to understand that to be truly great at anything, you must always start with yourself.Show Notes[00:30] Tony Robbins on hunger, drive, and emotional strength[06:00] Introduction to Mary B[06:30] An introduction to Siri Lindley[11:50] The allure of a triathlon[12:10] Team sports vs. individual competition[12:50] Starting out (“I couldn't swim.”)[13:58] Siri's first triathlon (“I was a disaster”)[17:00] Failure either destroys you or drives you[18:20] Where does the hunger comes from?[19:30] Desperate to feel good; wanting to like herself[20:30] Keeping the fear at bay[22:30] From “crappy” to World No. 1[24:30] Lesson: “You as a human being are far more important than you as an athlete”[25:45] Coach Brett Sutton gets into the mind of the athlete[26:30] Olympic trials 2000[28:30] No excuses: “I choked.”[30:25] “Impossible” training in Switzerland[31:20] Tony on Wantrepreneur vs. Entrepreneur[32:15] Training in Converse and travel clothes…in the Alps[34:30] “Jane supposedly sucks”…and she kicked my butt[36:20] Mom: “If you can't hack it, come home.”[36:50] Everyday he was scaring me to death.

Performance isn’t as much as a priority as longevity is now, but I still love to compete.  This dilemma, so well stated by one of our clients, got us thinking.  It’s well documented that exercise extends both lifespan and healthspan, and the people we work with typically have no trouble meeting the widely recommended 150 minutes per week of moderate physical activity.  But what happens when you’re a competitive athlete training significantly more than that? For this podcast, I met up with Dr. Tommy Wood, MD, PhD and Performance Psychologist Simon Marshall, PhD to talk about the benefits and risks of intense exercise with regard to longevity and healthspan.  The science points to a U-shaped curve with dangers at both ends of the spectrum - not enough activity and also too much - and we discuss the point at which an athlete’s long-term health might suffer. We also talk about the kinds of exercise that will keep you strong and resilient as you age.

Jordan Rapp, ITU World Champion and Champion Ironman Triathlete joins THE BRINK OF MIDNIGHT PODCAST. A natural athlete, Jordan's diverse athletic journey started as an All-American High School lacrosse goalie, proceeded to rowing for Princeton, and, on hiatus from rowing, finally led to triathlon, where he has been a pro for the last 11 years. Winning several Ironman triathlons and winning the ITU World Championship are some of Jordan's professional highlights, but what's even more incredible is that most of these wins came after an incredible comeback story. On a long training ride, Jordan collided with a car in a hit and run accident, suffered serious injuries, and was left for dead bleeding out in the middle of the road. With the clock ticking and minutes to live, Chief Petty Officer Thomas Sanchez happened to be driving by, stopped and reached inside Jordan's neck to save his life. Jordan's comeback and willingness to work as hard as possible remind us of the best of the human spirit and how amazing things can happen when we look for ways to help each other out.

Where do you go from failure? The most successful people in the world have recorded massive failures, and for many of them, failure was the greatest influence in their ascent to greatness. Why? It comes down to perspective; failure is only the end if you choose to see it that way. Step 1: Make the decision. We all have the power to choose. We can't control events, but we can choose what to focus on, we can choose what those events mean, and we can choose what to do now. These three decisions control our lives. So it is not the conditions of our lives, but rather the decisions that determine our destiny.

In this episode, Siri opens up about fear, suffering, training, triathlons, coaching, recruiting, Neighbors, and love. She explains to Tony and Mary B. how these life challenges ultimately became her greatest gifts. Siri and Tony help us to understand that to be truly great at anything, you must always start with yourself. Listen to the podcast and get the message: Be true. Be you. Be brave. Be relentless.

It is a true honor to present my second all english episode – an interview with one of the most influential and successful triathletes: Chris “Macca” McCormack. He has won the ITU World Champion title five times, he has broken the 8-hour barrier over the Ironman distance 4 times – the only man to break the barrier more than twice. Hailed by ESPN as the “world’s fittest athlete”, he has won more than 220 races during his career as a professional triathlete, with a stunning 76 per cent win rate in his race career events. Together with swedish tour operator Apollo I got the chance to meet up with Macca at the fantastic sport hotel Thanyapura, in Phuket Thailand, where he now is the Executive Chairman. We talk about his childhood, about the first time he saw the Kona Ironman on TV together with his mother, about discovering the world through triathlon. About being an outsider in the triathlon world, about the “mind game” and about being inspired by Muhammad Ali. And remember: a goal is a dream with a plan.
