Simon Lessing truly is a Triathlon Legend. Before we had Gomez, Frodeno, or the Brownlee Brothers, we had this man. If you ever debate who is the greatest of all time Triathlete, his name must be in the conversation.   Hailing from the shores of Cape Town, racing for Britain, and dominating the European and world circuits, his legacy is so remarkable that it has inspired a generation of triathletes. With five ITU World Championship titles, Nice long distance, a string of Ironman 70.3 victories, and a record-breaking performance at Ironman Lake Placid, wins at big nondrafting classics at Chicago and Alcatraz, and his domination of the French Iron Tour, his excellence in the sport is unquestioned. Beyond the race courses, his influence continues to shape the future of triathlon through his coaching endeavors. He was appointed an MBE in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to triathlon. When I look back at my career as an athlete, few have had this man's impact and sheer dominance.

He was fortunate to even have a career, to begin with. Just after he started the sport of Triathlon the High Council for Sports in Spain revealed a cardiac anomaly. That finding led to a six-year battle between him and the sporting administrators in Spain to allow him to race internationally.   Since winning that battle, he has raised the standards of the sport for his entire career. Just as impressively, he's also been able to reinvent himself whenever new pretenders have looked set to take his mantle.   He's a man who has won more Triathlons than anyone else in the history of the sport. A career that has spanned almost two decades with 10 world titles over various distances and formats, including 5 ITU World Championships titles, 2 Ironman 70.3 World Titles, an ITU Long course world title, and an Xterra Off-road world title. Add to that a silver medal at the Olympics.   But he's far more than a champion athlete, he's one of the best men I know. We've lived and shared some epic training sessions together, and battled on the racecourse numerous times. And I'm honored to call him a friend.   Timestamps 2:52 - Interview starts 4.10 - Having a year with set-backs and where things don't go to plan is not new to Javier.

We’re on a roll right now with some amazing guests and some great learning for you all. This week is no different as my guest is Ironman Legend, Mark Allen. Mark is a 6-time Ironman World Champion and the only male to have won both the ITU World Championships and Ironman World Championships in the same year.  Back in the 80’s Mark was one of the “Big Four” with Dave Scott, Scott Tinley, and Scott Molina.  Apart from not having ‘Scott’ in his name he also did a lot of other things differently.   He ritually took 2-3 month off structured training after each Kona race, followed a different nutrition path to most other athletes (who as Dave Scott explained were mostly on the fashionable at the time, high carb/low-fat diet), and he embraced the spiritual side of health and fitness, hooking up with Huichol Shaman Brant Secunda to prepare for his big races.   Since retiring in 1996 he has continued on the healthy living path.  This is a key focus of our discussion today, particularly in light of the current COVID19 pandemic.  We discuss many subjects, including: Learning patience and discipline through years of swimming The benefits of a simplified training environment Mark delivers a short physiology lesson about how the body uses fat and carbs for fuel Talking MAF - Mark shares his frustrations at how slow MAF running was when he first tried it. LISTEN CAREFULLY as he describes having to run almost 3mins/mile slower than his Ironman race pace! The huge benefits of exercising outdoors At 62, how does Mark Allen keep fit?

Earlier this year in 2020 Miles was recognised with an Order of Australia medal (OAM) for his service to triathlon and sports administration a fitting honour for someone who has been around the sport for 35 years plus. Prior to Miles' administrative career Miles's sporting resume was so impressive. Miles became the world champion at 20 years of age in 1991.

And quite incredibly, as you'll hear Miles outline, he was a member of the Australian Elite Team for the World Championships across 16 consecutive years. During today's episode, you'll hear miles touch on the highs, the lows and the many learnings from his 20 year career as a professional triathlete.  You'll hear Miles mention that he never raced in the juniors instead, he was straight to the professional ranks.

What a weekend of triathlon with Iron Man, 70.3, XTERRA and even a little ITU World Championship all happening. We round up the all the racing that happened over the weekend including all of the action from the ITU World Championship. We also look at the PTO supported Helvellyn Triathlon.

Creighton was born with a congenital defect that caused missing fingers on both hands and required his right leg to be amputated above the knee. It wasn’t until his thirties, after being inspired by some athletes you’ll hear about in this episode, that Creighton decided to train for a triathlon himself—which meant he had to learn how to ride a bike and run long distances. With assistance from the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Creighton completed the San Francisco Triathlon in 2008, and has gone on to compete in numerous triathlons and athletic events including the ITU World Championships in Beijing.

Her time was 2019 where she showed dominating form, incredible bravery, and tremendous grit to take her first ITU World Championship and win the Grand Final in the process.She has trained herself to have no weaknesses. A fierce competitor and an incredible human being.

Vincent Luis is one of the fastest men in the world of Triathlon. Blistering swim speed, incredible bike power, and a lightening run. He kicked off his career winning the World junior championships in 2008. A few years later he finished 11th at the 2012 London Olympics Games. By 2015 he was on the podium of the ITU World Triathlon series. At the Rio Olympics, he was 7thHe has slowly but surely edged his way to the top of the world. Finishing 2nd in the World Series in 2018, then finally after 11 years since his junior world title, he won the ITU World Championship title in 2019. He’s a man with passion, patience, and persistence and is squeezing everything he can out of himself to be the best he can… which I believe is the best in the world and a strong favorite for Olympic Gold in Tokyo 2021.

Today's guest, Karen Smyers, is a triathlon legend. With a pro career that lasted from 1985-2011, Karen has achieved many of the highest accolades the sport has to offer. Some of these achievements include being a 3x winner of the ITU World Championships, a Pan American Games Gold Medalist, and a dramatic come-from-behind victory at the 1995 Ironman World Championships. In order to have as long of a pro career as she did, she also had to battle through a freak storm window accident, being struck by an 18-wheeler, and thyroid cancer. In my interview with Karen, we discuss how she got into triathlon and endurance sports, her training routine and thoughts around nutrition (including an interesting pre-race beer taper), and of course some of her major achievements and how she persevered through so much hardship.

Kris has been a competitive presence in triathlons since 2001. First as an athlete now as a coach. Kris is currently assisting with the Paratriathlon National Team and is a presenter for the USA Triathlon Coaching Education Department. Between 2010 and 2014 he served as the Official Age Group Coach for Team USA and accompanied them to the ITU World Championships around the globe. Kris is also a co-founder of the Leanda Cave Foundation helping to empower women through triathlon. Kris has coached athletes ranging from professional to first time amateurs. He strives to help people achieve the ultimate balance of family and sport in their lives. Today we lead off by taking about the many “shelter in place” orders and social distancing strategies to help flatten the COVID curve.  Kris shares how he is helping token his athletes focused, motivated and engaged when many upcoming races have been postponed or cancelled, swimming pools and gyms are closed and group training sessions are largely looked down on right now. While our social isolation orders won’t go on forever, some of the strategies he shares can be useful anytime. One Fun fact: Kris is a retired police officer. He shares candidly with me what being an officer meant to him and why he left, and what he took away from that experience that makes him a better triathlon coach. Finally we talk a bit about the Leanda Cave foundation that he is co-founder of. I think you’ll enjoy this chat with Kris.  Here we go. Episode 3: Transcript   Coming Soon...

Kearns is the host of comprehensive online multimedia educational courses that bring books like , , and the 21-Day Total Body Transformation to life with a series of instructional videos and expert interviews that provide an immersive educational experience.

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.
