Eli Hemming: From Olympic Triathlon to Trail Ultras, UTMB Goals, and the Joshua Tree TraverseRyan Maguire sits down with Eli Hemming, former elite professional triathlete turned trail runner, for a wide-ranging conversation about reinvention, endurance, and what drives an athlete when the Olympic dream doesn't pan out the way you planned.Eli grew up in triathlon literally from birth. His mom was a triathlete and swim coach, and he was racing by age seven. What started as something social and skill-based eventually evolved into elite draft-legal Olympic-distance racing on the international circuit. He came within reach of the Tokyo Olympics before a broken foot derailed his qualification, and when he looked ahead at another four-year grind toward Paris, with all the travel and time away from family it would require, he decided it wasn't worth it.What came next surprised even him. A race in Buena Vista, Colorado cracked open a new world, and trail running took hold fast. He found a coach in David Roche, started stacking results, and eventually ended up toeing the line against Roche himself at the Broken Arrow Skyrace, a moment that captures just how quickly his trajectory shifted.Ryan and Eli also get into his relationship with his wife Tabor, their shared Adidas sponsorship, and a Joshua Tree traverse FKT attempt the two are chasing together. They dig into what makes Joshua Tree such a singular and strange place to run, and why the project matters to both of them personally.On the racing front, Eli's 2026 calendar includes Black Canyon 100K and a return to Desert Rats 100K, where Ryan first spotted him, to earn his way into UTMB week races. UTMB itself is the long-term goal, even though he's only raced up to 100K so far. His best trail performance to date? OCC during UTMB week in Chamonix, and he lights up talking about the atmosphere there.The conversation also gets honest about the harder parts of moving up in distance, overheating issues, a fried hypothalamus affecting heat regulation, fueling and hydration mistakes, and how his training philosophy is evolving around high volume without necessarily high mileage, muscular endurance work, and staying adaptable.

What happens when the sport you've dedicated your life to suddenly gets taken away from you?At 17, Nina Derron was a Swiss Junior Champion in triathlon, duathlon, and the 10km. And then chronic back pain stopped everything...What followed was nearly 3 years away from competition, a PhD in Clinical Science from ETH Zurich, and one of the most remarkable comeback stories in triathlon.In this episode, Nina walks us through the injury that derailed her junior career, how she rebuilt her relationship with the sport, and the deliberate decision, at 32, to finally go all-in as a full-time professional triathlete. We also dive into Brett Sutton's RPE-based training philosophy, why Nina barely looks at her data, what it's like training alongside the Chinese national team, and the importance of bone density screening for young endurance athletes.A story about patience, resilience, and trusting the process: for athletes and coaches at every level.--Connect with Nina: @nina_derronConnect with Bruna: @justbrunathingsConnect with Fabi: @endurance_fabiSign-up for augo's launch event: https://luma.com/8l4kbup7

Fußballer, Triathlet, Ultratrailläufer, Sportwissenschaftler. Dieser Gast bei LAUF ALTER, dem Podcast von Tom Rottenberg und Egon Theiner, hat in der Tat sehr viel zu erzählen. Felix Weinzinger kommt mit einem besonderen Thema: Es geht um Schlaf, Schlafqualität, also im weitesten Sinne um Regeneration.Sportlich seit Kindheit an, studierte Weinzinger Sportwissenschaften in Salzburg, spielte ein Jahr in der ersten österreichischen Bundesliga beim SV Grödig, beschäftigte sich dann aber lieber mit dem Thema Regeneration und Schlaf, und baute darauf in den letzten acht Jahren sein Business auf. „Wir leben in einer Welt, die sehr, sehr schnell funktioniert, es muss immer alles sofort passieren, jeder ist ungeduldig, gestresst, und jeder hat dieses Ständige: Ich muss besser, schneller, höher, weiter, schneller werden“, sagt er. Schlaf? Schlaf ist nicht so wichtig. Wirklich? Nochmals Weinzinger: „Ohne Schlaf geht gar nichts. Regeneration ist die Mutter des Sports.Wir sprechen mit Felix Weinzinger darüber, wie sinnvoll es ist, mit einer teuren Sportuhr den schlaf tracken zu lassen und wie diese Informationen von unserer Psyche aufgenommen werden und darüber, dass Daten zwar interessant sind, diese aber auch interpretiert werden müssen. Der Experte betont, wie wichtig analoge Beschäftigungen wie beispielsweise Lesen, vor dem Einschlafen sind, um eine gesunde, erholsame Nacht zu erleben, und er spricht auch darüber, dass für die einen fünf Stunden reichen, um erholt aufzuwachen, und andere nach acht Stunden gerädert sind – Schlaf ist individuell.Schlaf ist keine Raketenwissenschaft. Doch um eine Rakete zu steuern, sollte man wissen, was sie sei, sagt Weinzinger. Ein spannender Podcast über ein Thema, das uns täglich begleitet. Ach ja, um's Laufen geht es bei LAUFALTER, unterstützt vom Laufmagazin RUNNING & Fitness, auch – immerhin hat der „Wachmacher“ Ultratrails wie den GGUT gefinisht. Also, unbedingt anhören!

In this episode, Lou breaks her four-month silence to give a "no-filter" recap of her Ironman journey so far. Transitioning from a beginner to a long-distance triathlete is no joke, and while the swim might be the shortest leg of the race, it's proving to be the biggest mental hurdle. Lou shares her ego-bruising lessons on technique, the tools she wish she'd used sooner, and the pre-pool anxiety that almost kept her on the couch.The "Ironman Distance" reality check.The Math of a Triathlon: Why the swim is often the forgotten discipline.Lesson 1: Swallowing the ego and using swim tools (Paddles & Pull Buoys).Lesson 2: Intervals vs. Distance – Why "just swimming" isn't enough.Lesson 3: The Open Water Fear – Wetsuits, sighting, and toe-grabbing.Lesson 4: The Mental Game – Overcoming pre-swim procrastination and finding "flow."What's coming up next (The Bike).The Power of Tools: Don't let your ego stop you from using paddles (for hand positioning/catch) and pull buoys (for hip buoyancy). They are shortcuts to better form, not "cheating."Structure Over Volume: Simply grinding out lengths is great for the soul but bad for the clock. Break sessions into intervals to maintain technique and build actual speed.The "Blue Line" Trap: Pool swimming doesn't prepare you for the variables of open water. Practice sighting and getting comfortable in a wetsuit to avoid race-day surprises like chafing or shoulder fatigue.The 60-Minute Mental Wall: Swimming is the ultimate "unplugged" sport. While the pre-swim anxiety is real, pushing through to find a flow state is where the magic happens."I've never known procrastination like it... but once I'm in the pool and I find flow state, it's the most magical thing."Follow the Journey: https://www.instagram.com/theexerciseengineer/www.youtube.com/@theexerciseengineerBuy My Trisuit: https://www.sub4custom.com/shop/the-exercise-engineer/the-exercise-engineer/ Next Episode: Stay tuned for the deep dive into the Bike leg!

What does it take to start triathlon at 28, coach yourself to a pro license within a year, and then break a cycling world record?Meet Jonathan Guisolan, whose unconventional path is rewriting the rules of what's possible in endurance sports. Jonathan didn't grow up as a competitive athlete. He started cycling at 22 while studying Exercise Physiology, turned pro in cycling, then transitioned to triathlon at 28. In 2025 (just his second year as a professional triathlete) he won his first pro race at Challenge Sir Bani Yas and then broke the 6-hour velodrome cycling world record, covering 276.795 km at an average speed of 46.1 km/h.Whether you're a late starter questioning your potential, a self-coached athlete seeking validation, or simply someone fascinated by the intersection of science, resilience, and performance, Jonathan's journey will inspire you.-- Follow Jonathan: @jonathanguisolanFollow Fabi: @endurance_fabiFollow Bruna: @justbrunathings

After making the switch in her early twenties, Emma never looked back - going on to win two World Cup events and qualify for her first Olympic Games. While the 2021 Olympics, which included a top 10 finish, were one of the highlights of Emma’s career, they also proved some of the hardest times of her life - with the comedown from the games ultimately teaching her how to ask for help when she needed it most. Emma shares what it’s been like to navigate the once-toxic culture of endurance sport and what she hopes to do to change that environment for the next generation of triathletes.

Ironman swim training is widely misunderstood. Many age-group triathletes assume they need more swim volume or harder swim sets, when what they really need is better, more efficient swimming that sets up the rest of the race.In this episode, we break down the five factors that matter most for Ironman swim performance, especially for time-crunched athletes balancing training with work and life. We talk about why the Ironman swim is not a fitness test, why economy and calm matter more than raw speed, and how poor swimming quietly sabotages bike power and run durability later in the race.You'll learn why swim frequency often beats swim volume, how to make technique work actually transfer to racing, and which open-water skills meaningfully reduce energy cost on race day. We also discuss how swim training should be integrated with bike and run training, rather than treated as a separate performance goal.This episode is about leverage. If you want to exit the water composed, preserve energy, and start the bike in control, this is the swim training framework that actually works for Ironman racing.

Leigh Rasti is a case study in long-term improvement. No hero workouts. No big jumps. Just stacking good weeks, year after year.

What do a rookie, a masters athlete and a seasoned racer all have in common? They nailed their nutrition strategy - and the results speak for themselves. In this episode, Taryn sits down with three very different athletes from the Triathlon Nutrition Academy - Jo, Kelly and Erin - to unpack the surprising impact of getting their fuelling right. Each had their own goals, challenges and training loads, but all saw game-changing results after implementing the same evidence-based framework. If you’ve ever wondered whether nutrition could be your missing link, this episode will show you what’s possible when you get it right. Timestamps & Highlights 00:00 – Intro: The effort gap between training and fuelling01:35 – Meet Jo, Kelly & Erin: Different athletes, same frustration06:00 – Why nutrition felt confusing (and what they used to get wrong)14:00 – The turning point: How each athlete transformed their approach22:00 – The race-day difference: Confidence, control and results37:00 – Real-world results: Massive time gains, body comp shifts & more51:00 – Advice for triathletes: When (and why) to start focusing on nutrition58:00 – Final takeaways: What they'd tell their pre-TNA selves Key Takeaways Why fasted training, bonking and confusing advice were holding them back How a repeatable fuelling strategy boosted their performance and recovery The underrated power of recovery nutrition (yep, everyone was doing it wrong) The value of education: apps are fine, but understanding is power Massive PBs, sustained weight loss, strength gains and podium finishes Links & Resources

Are you outsourcing your nutrition to an app or ChatGPT and hoping it just works? Here’s why that could be a massive mistake... In this episode, I unpack the shiny trap of using AI tools and nutrition apps to guide your fuelling strategy. Sure, they’re convenient, look polished and promise quick wins – but are they really working for you? Triathletes aren’t 80% people – and near enough with nutrition just doesn’t cut it when you’re training for three sports. If you’ve ever second guessed whether your plan is right or felt unsure when your energy’s low or recovery is off – this episode is for you. Learn how to stop blindly following what an app tells you to eat and start building true confidence in your nutrition. In this episode, I cover: ⏱ 00:00 – Why this episode might make you uncomfortable (and that’s a good thing!)⏱ 01:20 – Where AI and apps get you halfway – and where they fall short⏱ 02:50 – The human factor AI can’t replicate: sleep, stress, life⏱ 04:00 – What real confidence in your nutrition actually looks like⏱ 09:20 – A real athlete case study: when a flashy AI plan under-fuelled a seasoned triathlete⏱ 13:40 – The danger of normalising under-fuelling and feeling flat⏱ 17:30 – Why education, not automation, is the real game-changer⏱ 19:45 – How to use AI as a tool – not a crutch⏱ 22:00 – The real reason the Triathlon Nutrition Academy exists Want to stop second guessing your nutrition?

This week on The Real Triathlon Podcast, we're joined by Steph Clutterbuck for a refreshingly candid conversation! Steph shares the profound challenges of her 2023 season, including a diagnosis of Myocarditis and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and how these health hurdles forced her to redefine her relationship with training, metrics, and even her "off-season." Dive deep into the less glamorous realities of pro triathlon, discover Steph's secret competitive dreams (involving horses!), and learn about her surprising aversion to open water swimming. We also explore her insights on the support for women's racing and the groundbreaking decision behind her OnlyFans sponsorship. Steph candidly discusses how this platform empowers her to fund her career, share authentic content, and connect directly with fans, all while challenging industry norms and championing a new model for athlete support. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the unfiltered life of a professional triathlete!

Still copying someone else’s nutrition plan and hoping it works for you? It’s time to stop guessing. In this episode, I break down the concept of N=1 — why your nutrition plan should be as individual as your training schedule, sweat rate, gut tolerance and race goals. If you’ve ever grabbed advice from the pros, copied your training buddy’s fuelling strategy or winged it on race day, this episode will help you understand why personalisation is the key to unlocking your next PB. You'll learn: Why N=1 is the only way to approach your nutrition as a triathlete The four areas that must be customised for success: hydration, fuelling, race plan and daily nutrition Real-life athlete stories that show the power of a tailored strategy How generic advice can backfire — and what to do instead Why having the knowledge to adapt your plan is a competitive advantage Links & Resources Triathlon Nutrition Checklist

Natalie Grabow made history by becoming the first woman ever to finish the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona at the age of 80, a milestone that stands as a powerful testament to resilience, determination and passion. Natalie's journey into sport began in a very different era, growing up at a time when opportunities for women in sport were limited. Despite a naturally competitive spirit, it wasn't until later in life that she found her way into endurance sport, first discovering running in her late thirties before taking on triathlon at the age of 59. In this inspiring episode Natalie reflects on her late start in triathlon, her love for cycling and the mindset that carried her through years of training and competition. She shares insights from her multiple appearances and podium finishes at the Ironman World Championship, including her historic race in Kona this year, where consistency, patience and experience proved just as important as physical strength. Natalie also speaks openly about the obstacles and challenges she's faced along the way, from managing injuries to balancing the demands of training whilst caring for her husband. With the unwavering support of her family, coach and community, she has continued to show up, race and pursue ambitious goals, continuing to challenge expectations and redefine what's possible in endurance sport.  This episode is a powerful and uplifting reminder that age is not a limitation, that it's never too late to begin something new and that perseverance, passion and consistency can carry us further than we ever imagined. Natalie Grabow's story is one of inspiration, wisdom and perspective and one that will resonate far beyond the world of triathlon and endurance sport.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses strategies for setting performance goals and training effectively in 2026. He emphasizes the importance of starting now, before the holidays, to avoid the "New Year, New You" pressure. Dixon identifies three common challenges: the overwhelmed athlete, the rigid athlete, and the mature athlete. He advises against chasing specific events and instead focuses on a year-long journey of progression. Key strategies include building a flexible training plan, prioritizing strength sessions, and maintaining consistent habits. Dixon also highlights the importance of integrating training with life demands and encourages listeners to reach out for a complementary needs assessment.   Purple Patch and Episode Resources Check out our world-class coaching and training options: Book a complementary needs assessment coaching call: https://calendly.com/coaches-purplepatch/offseason-assessment-call Tri Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/squad 1:1 Coaching: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/11-coached Run Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness/com/run-squad Strength Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/strength-1 Live & On-Demand Bike Sessions: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/bike Explore our training options in detail: https://bit.ly/3XBo1Pi Live in San Francisco?
