Ruth Astle started triathlon in 2013 when she was working in the city. Still while holding down her corporate job, she became overall age group world champion at Kona in 2019 before turning pro. She got her first pro ironman win at Mallorca on 2021, she came 5th at the ironman world championships in 2022 in St George. 2023 has been hampered by injury but Kona remains the aim. We talk about the mental ups and downs of being a pro triathlete, the need to just switch off and the support team around her …You'll hear:05:00 Start of the interview with Ruth 07:00 The need to take a break, go on holiday and switch off from triathlon and remind yourself there is a bigger world out there.11:00 Why in her mind, 2023 has been a 'sh*t show' 17:00 The guilt and pressure of being injured and not being able to show sponsors your value. 20:00 John's question: Dealing with injury. Why it's okay to take an opportunity away from triathlon and training when you're injured. 'Don't bother with one-armed swimming, just take a break.'25:00 Sarah's question: What's Ruth's set up and support crew like in Leeds? Who is in her corner? How does she train in Leeds?30:00 Freddie's question: How should someone in their early 20s who is into triathlon approach triathlon and divide their time?32:00 Has Ruth's passion for triathlon changed at all since she first started it in 2023? 'Looking back, I don't think I did the best job of mixing work and triathlon when I was an age grouper, but if I had done it differently, would I have got to the point of being good enough to be able to turn pro?'36:00 Ruth's thoughts on Ironman struggling to fill slots for Kona and how they even offered any female who had raced at Ironman Tallinn a Kona slot. 43:00 Anne's question: What's it like dating Ali Brownlee? 'It's like dating any other guy. There are good times, there are times when he is really annoying. He is a human, people might be shocked to know this, but he is a human.'Find out more about this week's guest:Ruth Astle InstagramRuth Astle YoutubeRuth Astle websiteTri Talking Sport websiteTri Talking Sport podcast on spotify - Helen recorded an interview with Joanne Murphy, so go and check it out when it's out!Like what you heard?Let me know!

In this episode, we take a closer look at the world of behavioural science in relation to nutrition. Together with David Dunne of Hexis we discuss the complexities of nutrition, the psychological impact of past behaviors, stigmas and body composition, and how technology-based interventions can help athletes sustain long-term nutritional behaviors. Bevan and Tim review the weekend's racing plus we revisit the ‘Super Shoe' debate and share Ruth Astle's recent work on testing which carbon shoe is best for her. Lastly, don't miss our discussion on blood flow restriction training and its potential applications in improving endurance performance. Dr. Richard Ferguson shares his insights on occlusion training and the results of his sprint interval study, explaining how blood pressure cuffs can be used to partially occlude the arterial supply, creating a hypoxic response and an alteration in intramuscular metabolic status. Discover how the body responds to the stress of exercise and how blood flow restriction training can be used in combination with low-intensity or lower load exercise for optimal results.

Do you ever think that the people most qualified to perform particular tasks are those who have an intimate knowledge of that task? For example, an ex-footballer or rugby player might be best suited for a job as a referee. How about sports photography? If you've participated in a sport and know exactly what the performers are going through, do you think that might help you to frame even better pictures? Maybe that's why today's podcast guest Jack Schofield has risen to the top of the triathlon photography world so quickly. Not only does Jack take some brilliant photos, he's also a pretty decent triathlete himself. Earlier this year he finished second overall at the age group only Ironman UK and just a few days before we chatted he had completed this year's Ironman World Championships in Kona. In fact, Jack was splitting his time between preparing for the race and taking photos for Ruth Astle on her Thursday Kona race day. Dividing your energies like this is challenging and we get into this topic, as well as: The conversion from rowing to triathlon How studying architecture helps him to frame good photographs How understanding exactly what triathletes go through helps him frame good photos Training with Patrick Lange and other elite triathletes Jack has a rant about triathletes who use but don't pay for finish-line photos To find out more about Jack he hangs out mostly on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/two26_photography/ www.Instagram.com/jackyscho/ In our conversation, Jack talked about his first photography book which he also (unsurprisingly) recommends as his favourite book
With the Ironman World Championships happening this week I wanted to share a conversation with one of our British females who will be racing. Back in May, Ruth Astle finished an amazing 5th place at the 2021 version of the IMWC in St George Utah. As she bids for another top 5 finish we chat abut her journey from age group novice to world-class athlete in just 10 years. We get into a lot of topics, including: The start of her triathlon journey A big breakthrough From AG to pro-athlete - what did she change about her training/lifestyle Working for Lloyds & balancing work with triathlon racing/training St George race and result The Sub 8 project with Kat Matthews and "happy heads make for fast legs" Kona preparation & expectations To find out more about Ruth or to follow her on social media, you can use the following channels: Website Ruthastle.com Social media links: Instagram: Rastle07 YouTube: Ruth Astle Ruth also recommended the following book Talking to Strangers, Malcolm Gladwell To download your FREE 4-week mobility plan, please click here.

Professional long distance triathlete Ruth Astle and Olympian Beth Potter join us in conversation this week. The pair got to know each other during lockdown. Both of them train in Leeds, alongside the Brownlee brothers. It's a brilliant conversation between two athletes who have had very different experiences to get where they are today. But more than athletes, it's a chat with two fantastic female role models about the ups and downs of life and why making a massive change can be emotionally horrible, but it can make you grow and flourish. You'll hear 06:16 Ruth and Beth talk about now they met for the first time and how Ruth helped Beth with the riding and Beth helped Ruth with her running. 10:05 Talking about joining the Leeds Triathlon Centre. Beth says "I think I cried nearly every single day of my first year here. I found it really hard. There were so many unknowns. I'm not afraid of taking risks but there were so many unknowns. I did question myself a lot of the time and it's always hard coming into a training environment when you are on the newbie." 13:45 Beth Potter explains how finally being on British Triathlon's World Class funding programme will help her. 'I never felt like I was good enough, so it makes me feel like I belong and I can tap into other areas I haven't been able to tap into before.' 16:15 Ruth and Beth explain how their lives have changed since January 2016. Beth was working full time as a teacher in London thinking of the Rio Olympic trials, Ruth was working full time for Lloyds Bank and starting to get into training. 19:15 We head to the topic of food... Ruth and Beth both like spending time in the kitchen. Why Beth has more will power and what's on the post-race menu and Friday post-swim trips to Greggs. 24:15 Beth and Ruth talk about what it's like training with each other. 'We will always get each other out of the door. If we need to be chatty we can. I think seeing that grit and determination of just plugging away has been really good.' 29:15 The frustrations of swimming - they have both experienced it and Ruth thinks that time in the water is making a difference for her. 31:30 Beth talks about being selected for Team Scotland her third Commonwealth Games. This time she will only be doing triathlon at the Games in Birmingham. The pair also discuss the all important battle braids. 39:35 Ruth talks about why she is so excited about the Ironman World Championships heading to St George for the first time. 'It will be interesting to see if people will target both or one over the other'. 41:45 We talk about DNFs, getting back on it after a bad race and the idea of a perfect race. "I don't think there is such thing as a perfect race which is why you always have to have contingency plans" says Beth. "I do wish I could enjoy the good ones a bit more, but I try to dwell not too much on the good or bad." 47:35 Beth explains why she has her eyes on a standalone marathon but why she would continue to use cross training for it, rather than purely do run training.

On this weeks podcast we have a very successful age grouper and recently turned professional triathlete Ruth Astle as our guest. Ruth has had a rapid climb to the top of the ever more challenging heights of the age group Ironman competition. But she has done this whilst holding down a 60-hour week working in the corporate world of banking. After putting many good results together and being part of the Zwift Academy triathlon team over the past year her age group career concluded last year when she took the overall age-group win at the Ironman World Championships in a time of 9:20:06. Since then she has turned pro and was was looking forward to seeing what she could do this year with all that training behind her and having a lot more rest. However, with the race season stalled because of coronavirus it was interesting to hear how this left her feeling. She also spoke openly about her nutrition strategy for the ironman distance as well as how the mental strength of an ironman athlete is especially key to putting out performances you are capable of producing.
Sit back and enjoy the recap of the Zwift Pro Tri series finale with triathlon legend Ronnie Schildknecht and up and Age group Kona Champ Ruth Astle!
