Podcasts about triathletes

Robbie Deckard is a professional middle-distance triathlete and triathlon coach, and the founder of Freaky Fast Aero Accessories. In this episode, Robbie and Mikael dig into the real differences between American and European training methods, using lactate and VLaMax to optimise training and performance, and how age-group triathletes can apply lab-grade thinking to swim, bike and run training without actually going into a lab. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: The real difference between FTP-centric American coaching and the German/Benelux style built around VLaMax, VO2max and physiological profiling. The evolution of VLaMax based training: from Alois Mader's 1970s model through Jan Olbrecht to current day coaches like Dan Lorang. Robbie's case for still doing dedicated VO2max work, including a case study that took an amateur cyclist's VO2max from 74 to 87 mL/kg/min over 58 weeks of block periodisation. Why building maximal aerobic power early is more valuable long-term than chasing threshold gains, and how that shapes the "durability" that separates junior and U23 cyclists from senior professional cyclists. How Robbie profiles athletes using LT1, LT2 and 5-minute power (or 500 yd swim time, or mile run time), and what typical percentage utilisation looks like for age-groupers versus elites. How he prescribes endurance, threshold and VO2max sessions in practice, including cues (power, pace, RPE), lactate targets, and why exact wattage precision on threshold work matters less than people think. Practical advice for age-groupers: open-water swim skills and ankle-band drills, running road races for pacing and durability, and hill running for strength and economy. Improving aerodynamics on a budget: reduce frontal area first, then refine airflow, and how to measure progress without a wind tunnel using Golden Cheetah or a simple speed sensor.

Ihr habt es ja in den letzten Folgen mitbekommen. Ich war sowohl beim Ironman in Hamburg, als auch beim Challenge in Roth am Start und natürlich hatte ich einen Hintergedanken. Ich wollte beide Veranstalter vergleichen. Denn ich hab mich gefragt, ob Ironman wirklich so schlecht ist und der Challenge wirklich so gut! Die Antwort gibt's jetzt hier im Podcast. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören.---Rennvideo Luxemburg: https://youtu.be/vziO6XHFMnEZum Mission Triathlon Racing Team

Clint Kimmins has chased 60 foot waves at Nazaré and finished Ironmans. The thing he's most proud of is surviving six months in a maximum security prison. He went in at the peak of his surfing career with a beer belly and came out an athlete. This week we sat down with the big wave surfer and long course triathlete to talk about the surf club brawl that put him inside, the pile of letters that showed him he was actually loved, and the mindset that got him through the door on day one. We get into the harder stuff too. Losing his mum, the morning he woke to a voice memo from his dad, and how the two of them talk more now than they have in twenty years. And then there's Nazaré. One of the biggest days ever, borrowed gear, the wrong vest, over the falls near the cliff, held under longer than he's ever been. He calls it the best thing that's ever happened to him.

She says she died that day. She wasn't expected to survive. She spent 111 days in hospital learning to walk and talk again, living with the impacts of a severe traumatic brain injury that changed the course of her life forever.What followed is one of the most extraordinary second acts in Australian sporting history. After re-learning to walk and talk, Alexa jumped back in the pool and found a new purpose — and within two years was representing Australia at the World Para Swimming Championships. At the 2024 Paris Paralympics she won two gold medals and a silver, breaking the world record in the 100m freestyle. She then went on to repeat that same medal tally at the 2025 World Para Swimming Championships in Singapore. She has since been awarded an OAM for her extraordinary achievements in sport. We also get into the sides of Alexa that don't always make the headlines — her deep love for house music and Fisher, her journey into DJing and music, and what swimming really means to her beyond the medals.

From cardio machines and stretch mats, to free weights and fitness classes; there are many options for how a triathlete can spend their time at the gym. Today, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer Brady Hoover joins the show to teach us what we should and should not be doing at the gym. Brady talks about how to balance swim, bike, and run with strength training; and even offers a peek at his personal strength training routines.

In this episode of the “All Things Endurance Podcast,” host Rick Prince chats with Professional Triathlete and Coach Matt Hanson. In addition to Matt's job of racing really fast in triathlons and coaching other triathletes to do the same, Matt is the lead contributor to UESCA's Triathlon Coach Certification. Rick and Matt chat about some common mistakes that triathletes make in their training. Below are the specific areas that Rick and Matt cover in this episode:          1. Could you tell our listeners a bit more about yourself?2. As not only a pro triathlete but also a seasoned triathlon coach, you likely see many training mistakes. What mistakes are often made related to training volume and training intensity?3. Do you think apps such as Strava and social media play into these mistakes due to triathletes trying to emulate the training of other athletes?4. Triathlon is a tech- and equipment-heavy sport, especially cycling. Do you see a lot of triathletes putting too much focus on equipment or marginal gains versus the training aspect?5. What are some ways a triathlete can avoid making major training mistakes? 6. What are your thoughts on pre-formatted and AI training programs?7. What mistakes do you see athletes make when deciding to hire a coach?To learn more about Matt Hanson and his coaching business, please visit: www.matthansonracing.comFor $75 off a UESCA certification, use code ATE75  

The highs, the crash, and what overtraining syndrome taught one age-group world champion about ambition, recovery and knowing when to stop. Sue Reynolds was a guest on this podcast three years ago. At that point she had lost over 150 pounds, taken up triathlon in her fifties, and become a world age-group aqua bike and mixed relay champion. Her first book, The Athlete Inside, told that story. But Sue didn't stop there. She wanted to answer a question most age-group athletes never dare ask seriously: what would happen if an ordinary amateur trained with the same expectations, the same daily habits, and the same meticulous standards as an Olympic-level athlete? That question took her to the World Triathlon Championships in Pontevedra in 2023, where she led the swim - alone, three minutes clear, asking an official which way to run because she had never been at the front before. It eventually took her somewhere she hadn't planned to go at all. Her new book, Across The Line, covers all of it. This conversation is one of the most honest I have had on this podcast about ambition, identity, the invisible damage of overtraining, and what it actually means to know your limits. 5 KEY POINTS Meticulous preparation is where races are won before the start gun. Studying the currents, dropping leaves in the water on race morning, switching pontoon position at the last minute. The details are where elite performance actually lives. Overtraining syndrome is not just tiredness. Unlike overreaching, which resolves with rest, OTS means the body can no longer adapt no matter how much recovery you give it. Sue calls it what it really is: under-recovery syndrome. ‘Edited honesty' is one of the most dangerous habits in endurance sport. Sue never asked for recovery. She dropped hints, pointed at data, said she felt like a walrus. But she never said the words and that gap is where things went wrong. An invisible injury is still an injury. OTS left Sue looking completely fine while being unable to function. Nobody could see it. Some days she could barely believe it herself. Periodised commitment beats single-minded obsession. Research shows athletes with interests outside their sport sustain performance better over time. Sue learned this the hard way, at considerable cost.   3 TAKEAWAYS Ask for recovery before you need it. Don't drop hints. Don't hope your coach spots it in the data. Say the words out loud. Saying yes when you should say no is not toughness. It is the thing that ends careers and breaks bodies. Fitness gives you options. Sue's goal is simply to get fit by 2027 and see what becomes possible. Not a specific race. Not a podium. Just options.   KILLER QUOTE "I could have said I need a rest at any point. Why didn't I say that? I took a deep dive into all the cultural messages about sucking it up. We put people who push through on a pedestal. And I had bought into all of it."   CONNECT with Sue Sue Reynolds is a two-time age-group world champion, author and student of high performance. All author proceeds from Across The Line go to the USA Triathlon Foundation to support athletes with disabilities.   Website: suereynolds.net Instagram:  https://instagram.com/sue.reynolds/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/suereynoldstriathlon/ Across The Line - Sue Reynolds - A case study of world-class performance that examines elite coaching, ambition, and the systems that make and break athletes.

Do you have big goals but aren't sure how to turn them into a clear plan? This episode is for you. Legendary running and triathlon coach Bobby McGee returns to the podcast to share his four-level goal-setting framework, helping endurance athletes move beyond outcome-based goals and focus on the daily habits and processes that drive long-term success. Bobby also explores the mental side of performance, including emotional regulation, mental warm-ups, and self-awareness during training. He explains how tools like RaceX and TrainX scores can help athletes connect their training data with the choices they make both mentally and physically. One of the biggest takeaways? Every workout should have a purpose. Training with intention leads to greater consistency, confidence, and performance. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply looking to train smarter, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you reach your goals.

  Some people don't find triathlon. Triathlon finds them. It calls quietly for years until the timing, the spirit, and the courage finally align at once. Brandon Woolfolk is a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, music artist, and founder of No Plateau Zone. This year, he said yes to a challenge that had been waiting for him since 2023. After years of distance running and obstacle course races, Brandon joined the Y Tri community in February and completed not one but two sprint triathlons in his first season. But the road to that starting line ran through three years living in Shanghai, a painful return home during the pandemic, a battle with depression, and a radio ad that quietly changed everything. In this Father's Day episode, Brandon shares what it means to pursue big goals in full view of your daughter, why community sharpens us when we go it alone, and what he learned about himself when his swim cap came off mid-race, and he had to keep going anyway. The only plateau is in your mind. This one proves it. Join the Tri Beginner's Luck Community: Enjoyed this episode?

Sein Triumph beim Iron Man auf Hawaii öffnete Jan Frodeno das Tor zum großen Geld – doch der Triathlet lehnte ab. Statt Ausrüsterverträge abzuschließen, half er Gründer Mario Konrad lieber beim Aufbau der Performance-Marke Ryzon. Zum Glück. Im OMR Podcast erzählen Jan Frodeno und Mario Konrad, welche Hürden es auf dem Weg vom kleinen Kölner Startup zum Multimillionen-Player gab – und warum Ryzon inzwischen zwar Rad- und Joggingkleidung vertreibt, aber von einer anderen Produktkategorie lieber die Finger lässt. Welche? Das hörst du in dieser Folge des OMR Podcasts.

You can love swimming and still feel intimidated by the rulebook, the whistles, and the idea of disqualifying someone. That hesitation is exactly why we wanted an on-deck conversation with Chet Goudy, a USA Swimming deck referee, Masters swimmer, former college breaststroker, and former pro triathlete. He walks us through what a deck ref actually does, what it feels like to run a session from the pool deck, and why meets are always desperate for more well-trained officials.We also get personal about how people find their way back to the water. Chet shares the detour he took away from swimming in high school, the grind of returning for college, and the kind of “legendary” training that rewards durable athletes. From there we jump into Masters swimming culture with the Annapolis Breakfast Club, where 4,000-yard mornings are normal and “Fitness February” means 5,000 a day to build toward open water challenges like the Chesapeake Bay Swim.Then we zoom out to endurance sport and mindset. Chet explains how a coach transformed his triathlon training by making every session purposeful, controlled, and measurable, leading to a pro card and later a 13-week comeback plan to win a race after years away.

Red light therapy (RLT) is everywhere right now, from recovery studios and wellness clinics to at-home panels and full-body beds. But does the science actually support the hype? In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Taryn Richardson, creator of the Red Light Therapy for Athletes Evidence-Based Masterclass, along with coach Elizabeth James, to unpack what endurance athletes really need to know about red light therapy.

Elizabeth also shares her firsthand experience using red light therapy during injury recovery, including the surprising benefit she noticed before anything else. If you've been curious about red light therapy but feel overwhelmed by the marketing claims, this episode delivers a practical, science-backed guide to what's real, what's promising, and how athletes can use it effectively. For more information on the "Red Light Therapy for Athletes Evidence-Based Masterclass" click here:  https://www.dietitianapproved.com/redlighttherapy

In this episode:Kicking off with a bang, we dive into the world of pro triathletes, where mental toughness is just as critical as physical strength. Tamara Jewett, a delightfully candid guest, shares her experiences of racing against not just her competitors, but also the mounting pressures of expectations and performance. We chat about how even the best athletes grapple with self-doubt, anxiety, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Tamara's journey from a promising runner to a formidable triathlete showcases how mental battles can be just as punishing as the physical ones—who knew? She also reflects on how confidence can be built through overcoming hurdles in training, especially those daunting long rides that make you question your life choices. It's a raw, relatable look at what it's like to be at the top of your game while still wrestling with those pesky inner demons. Shifting gears to nutrition, we dig into the latest trend of ultra-high carb fueling strategies. Is it really necessary to load up on carbs like you're prepping for a feast? We break down the science and sift through the evidence to find out if this approach truly benefits endurance athletes or if it's just another passing trend. Juliet Hockman chimes in to unpack the complexities of fueling during long races, and let's just say, it's not as straightforward as it sounds. We ponder how much is too much and whether our stomachs can actually handle all that sugar when the intensity ramps up. So, strap in and get ready for a rollercoaster of insights, tips, and a sprinkle of sarcasm because who doesn't love a good laugh while tackling serious topics?Segments:[12:28]- Medical Mailbag: Ultra-carb diet[40:59]- Interview: Tamara JewettLinksTamara on YouTube@tamarajewett on Instagram

What happens when a former professional triathlete and endurance coach suddenly develops a painful plantar plate sprain? In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler speaks with Marcus, a former professional triathlete and current triathlon coach from Brazil, during a real running injury strategy call focused on plantar plate injuries in runners and triathletes. Marcus had to cancel an upcoming 45K trail race after developing sudden pain under the ball of the foot consistent with a plantar plate sprain. During the call, they discuss how plantar plate injuries develop, why bunions and shoe selection can increase stress on the plantar plate ligament, and how endurance athletes can protect the injured ligament while maintaining fitness. They also discuss: • Why MRIs often fail to tell the whole story with plantar plate tears • Whether carbon-plated running shoes can reduce plantar plate strain • How to maintain fitness without worsening the injury • Why boots alone are often not enough • The biggest mistakes runners make during plantar plate recovery • How shoe construction can affect forefoot stress • Why triathletes are uniquely vulnerable to forefoot overload injuries If you're a runner or triathlete struggling with forefoot pain, second toe pain, a plantar plate tear, or a plantar plate sprain, this episode will help you better understand the injury and what actually matters during recovery.

With unprecedented access to professional triathletes through live race coverage, social media, and YouTube, it's easier than ever to follow the training, racing, and recovery habits of the sport's top athletes. But just because the pros are doing something doesn't always mean it's the right approach for age-group athletes. On this episode, former professional triathletes Mark Allen and Mirinda Carfrae break down the latest trends in professional triathlon and separate what's truly useful from what's better left to the elites. From training methods and race tactics to the newest gadgets and equipment, they discuss what age-group athletes can realistically apply to improve performance and what may not be worth the time, money, or effort. Tune in as Mark and Rinny share insights from racing at the highest level and explain how athletes of every ability can train and race smarter.
