Dr John Hellemans caught up with Mark Watson to talk about Braden Currie's bronze medal at the Ironman World Championships.

Kris Gemmell is one of the most influential people in the world of Triathlon.   His career as an athlete was remarkable, with some of the most epic battles to the finish line we've ever seen. He went to two Olympics, two Commonwealth Games, and achieved 110 World Triathlon starts, 29 podiums and 9 wins.   Kris transitioned from athlete to partnerships and marketing positions within World Triathlon, previously known as the International Triathlon Union and hasn't looked back. He's now the Head of Marketing and Commercial for World Triathlon, where the World Triathlon Series continues to grow and deliver the greatest professional racing we see consistently in the world.   When Kris moved from Palmerston North to Christchurch in the late 1990s to study at the University of Canterbury, he was an aspiring Rugby union player. However an injury led to a chain of events that resulted in Kris coming to the attention and under the guidance of Doctor John Hellemans. Hellemans is a well known multiple World Champion Triathlete and coach.   In 1997, Gemmell competed in the ITU junior World Championships in Perth Australia coming a 6th in a field that included future World Champion Ivan Rana.   Kris' breakthrough race on the world stage in the senior ranks came in 2000 when he claimed 3rd place at the Tokyo round of the ITU World Cup.   Gemmell was selected for the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England where he placed second for New Zealand and sixth in overall.   In 2007, Gemmell had enjoyed another consistent season with three podiums and two fourth places. One of those fourths was at the Beijing round of the ITU World Cup and this result gained Kris a nomination for the New Zealand Triathlon team to race at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. At Beijing, he finished in 39th place.   He qualified again for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and finished in 15th place.   Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to show. 5:37 - When did you find your passion for sport and in particularly, triathlon? 12:02 - When did you compete in your first triathlon? 13:10 - Tell us about your experience working with Doctor John Hellemans. 14:22 - You led the New Zealand charge at a time the sport was developing, talk us through the people you feel helped change the trajectory of triathlon. 18:47 - Talk us through your view on the peaks and troughs that Federations go through in various parts of the world. 28:06 - Super League and Triathlon are communicating to build the sport, explain the internal view you have of this process and give us a glimpse of the future for the sport. 32:34 - The ITU has changed name to World Triathlon and it's never been a more exciting time to be an athlete coming into form in the sport.

 Episode 59 Ironman Talk - 9th of May 2007In this weeks show:Gordo on PowerWe have an amazing interview with Gordo Byrn on the subject of Power. He covers all the question that you want answered on this topic. Gordo is one of the best thinkers in the world of Ironman triathlon. Instead of me writing up a piece on him I’ve taken his own write up from his coaching page on this website. It gives you some insight into his thinking as a coach. Here it is: Following five years of general endurance training, I completed my first Ironman in 1999 (11:06).  Since that time, I’ve completed fifteen Ironmans and won the Ultraman World Championships. The most satisfying aspect of my recent race performance has been the consistency of results (my last six Ironmans all being completed under 9 hours).I have three things that I believe are essential to making progress in athletics: consistency, recovery and the right mental attitude. I believe very strongly that the last item in that list is by far the most important. I do a lot of work training my mind. The next most important is recovery. About half of the long distance athletes I know spend their lives on the edge of, or slightly over, the overtraining abyss. I believe this is the most overlooked aspect of superior performance. Finally, I believe that consistent work, rather than hard work, is what reaps the most dividends.I work with no more than six athletes at a time.  This ensures that every athlete on my roster gets a large “share of mind?.Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of athletes (men, women, elites, agegroupers).  I’ve found that I am most effective with athletes that are able to train alongside me (personally or at Epic Camps).I’ve been fortunate to train and study under the leading coaches in our sport – Scott Molina, John Hellemans, Dave Scott and Joe Friel. My personal coaching philosophy is a synthesis of their experience as well as my own triathlon career (eight years and counting).There is no easy way,gordoThanks Gordo for another great interview!
