Am Sonntag war Ironman in Hamburg und wir mittendrin. Regen, Wind und Metallspäne waren nicht unbedingt die Rahmenbedingungen, die wir uns gewünscht haben. Aber so eine Langdistanz ist eben keine Wunschkonzert. Wie es war, erfährst Du in dieser Podcastfolge.---Zum Mission Triathlon Racing Team

Why do so many endurance athletes struggle with cramping, GI distress, dehydration, and race-day fueling?Because they're asking the wrong question.Instead of asking:"What's the best gel?" "What's the best electrolyte?" "What's the best sports drink?"Coach Chris Newport encourages athletes to ask:"What does my body actually need?"In this episode, you'll learn:why chasing products rarely workshow sweat testing changes everythingwhy fluid, sodium, and carb needs are uniquehow to build a fueling and hydration systemwhy accountability and testing matterhow to stop guessing and start trusting your planReady to stop the trial and error?Join the next Fueling and Hydration Bootcamp: https://www.theenduranceedge.com/fuelingbootcamp/ Support the show

Aisling Wyer is an Irish triathlete and member of Naas Triathlon Club who has achieved impressive results at home and abroad all whilst working full time as a solicitor. She came to the sport relatively late, inspired by her mother Nora, with a background in horse riding and tetrathlon. She most definitely wasn't a runner, was moved to tears on her first cycling outing along the Waterford Greenway and openly admits she has spent most of her triathlon career battling self-belief as much as she has battled race courses. And yet, Aisling Wyer has quietly become one of the most competitive Irish age group athletes. She is a two time National Sprint Champion and has won multiple races in Ireland including Tri Tyrone 70.3, Skerries Sprint, Camlough Sprint and Naas Duathlon in 2024.  On the international stage she won IRONMAN 70.3 Emilia-Romagna in 2024, qualifying for her first IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.  In 2025 she raced 11 times across five countries, finishing on the podium nine times, she was third overall female in the Triathlon Ireland National Series, rounding out her season with a 4th place in her Age Groups at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Marbella. Her most recent success came last month when she crossed the finish line as the fastest female overall at IRONMAN 70.3 Mallorca, solidifying her position as a talented triathlete on the rise. Now she is setting her sights on the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice, France, with the aim of going one better in the results than Marbella. In this conversation we hear about her journey from reluctant runner to two-time IRONMAN 70.3 Champion, the role her mother has played every step of the way, how she manages training, injury and a demanding career without losing her love for the sport, her experience as a guide in paratriathlon and the mindset she has built around consistency and learning to believe in herself. Aisling is grounded and genuinely inspiring, not because of the results alone, but because of the attitude she brings to chasing them. This is a really lovely chat and one that will have you motivated to go out and chase your own sporting and personal goals, whatever they may be.

Nächstes Wochenende ist es für den Schorsch so weit. Es geht zum Ironman nach Hamburg und wir nehmen das zum Anlass, über die Schwierigkeiten der Rennwoche zu sprechen. Worauf müssen wir achten? Was sollten wir kurz vor dem Wettkampf nicht vergessen? Die Antworten gibts in dieser Folge. Viel Spaß beim zuhören. ---Das Video zum Gelrezept: https://youtu.be/Ks-G5ctpl6EDas Video zum Neo flicken: https://youtu.be/z37uqw18W5UZum Mission Triathlon Racing Team

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. They break down the biology behind RLT, explain how it works, and explore the evidence-based benefits for performance, recovery, and injury healing. 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.

Jackie Hering, a pro triathlete with 15 years of top finishes, unveils her approach to racing at 40. She shares how releasing pressure, managing expectations and embracing unexpected race-day curveballs transform her results in IRONMAN racing In this episode, you'll discover: What Jackie considers are her strongest assets and how she's training smarter, not just harder. Her secrets to managing expectations and why 'releasing' them can be your fastest path to success. How setbacks like mechanical issues or illness can be an opportunity, not a disaster, in race strategy. The value of adaptability: how a puncture in Hamburg or a change in race schedule can become a game-changer. Insights into the psychology of professional women athletes and the supportive roles they embrace - Jackie's own "mother hen" approach. You'll also hear how Jackie's balance of motherhood, racing, and podcasting provides a fresh perspective in a sport often defined by its relentless intensity. She shares her plans for upcoming races, her views on Kona's elusive magic and the importance of enjoying the process rather than obsessing over the results. 00:00 - Introduction 02:34 - The Evolution of Women's Triathlon 05:40 - Supportive Dynamics in Female Racing 08:27 - Balancing Family Life and Professional Racing 11:07 - Return to Full Distance Racing 14:03 - The Challenge of the Pro Series 16:42 - Expectations and Race Performance 19:34 - Navigating Race Challenges and Adaptability 22:03 - Strategic Race Planning 24:23 - Navigating the Pro Series Challenges 25:46 - Balancing Ironman Races and Recovery 26:27 - Lessons from Recent Races 28:22 - The Kona Experience: Challenges and Goals 30:15 - Training Evolution and Consistency 33:45 - Assessing Strengths and Weaknesses 34:59 - Future Race Plans and Goals LINKS: The Women's Race Podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-womens-race/id1895478355 Jackie Hering's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jackiehering

The crew is back for what may actually be “The Real Injury Podcast” — updates, laughs, and a frank conversation about the realities of racing and training. Garrick, Nick, Jackson and Lisa kick off with life updates (including Jackson's new cat Arlo and Garrick's sore calf), then dig into a long discussion on what “going pro” really means — the time, sacrifice and patience it takes, the short-course migration to long-course racing, and whether athletes should rethink turning pro early. They also cover practical coaching advice for training while on vacation (how much to do, swim and spin tips, and keeping intensity smart), share favorite recent workouts, and trade grip-offs in a raucous “Pass or Smash” segment. Expect honest coaching takeaways, behind-the-scenes pro life realities, gear chat and plenty of banter. Perfect for triathletes who want blunt, useful advice—and a few good laughs—about staying fit, avoiding burnout, and making smarter race decisions.   Head to pillarperformance.shop or TheFeed.com/pillar and enter code REALTRI15 for 15% off first-time purchases.   If you want to go above and beyond consider supporting us over on Patreon by clicking here!   Follow us on Instagram at @realtrisquad for updates on new episodes.    Individual Instagram handles: Garrick Loewen - @loeweng Nicholas Chase - @race_chase Jackson Laundry - @jacksonlaundrytri Lisa Becharas - @lisabecharas

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Katie "Sunrise" Lance, a civil engineer turned professional triathlete turned thru-hiker who completed the AT last year before quitting her job to pursue triathlon coaching full-time. In this one, Katie walks us through what it's like to qualify for Kona on your very first Ironman, how she was training 20 hours a week on top of 12-hour night shifts at the Tennessee Valley Authority, and what finally pushed her to leave it all behind and hike from Georgia to Maine. She also shares the full arc of a pink-blazing situation that somehow ends with a guy hiking 74 miles in 24 hours to process his feelings, how she nearly got bit by a rattlesnake while finally rinsing out her pee rag for the first time, and why she thinks anyone can finish an Ironman if they actually train for it. We wrap the show with a piece on why week one of a thru-hike is the hardest, a profile on a 70-year-old who set out to hike all three Triple Crown trails in a single calendar year, debating whether pizza loses its luster as you get older, the triple crown of Star Wars characters, and the weird places toddlers pee.

Hilary Topper didn't run until she was 48. She didn't know how to turn on a treadmill. Five years later, she signed up for her first triathlon in Florida without realizing there were races in her home state of New York. Hilary is the voice behind The Triathlete's Diary, a certified USA Triathlon coach, and author of Unlocking the Triathlon: The Beginner's Guide to Competing in a Triathlon. She proudly calls herself a non-athletic triathlete and has built her coaching philosophy around meeting athletes exactly where they are. Her mantra is simple: consistency over intensity, community over competition, and showing up over being the fastest. We talk about starting triathlon after 50, the power of finding your people when family doesn't understand, and why DNFs and DNSs don't define you. Hilary shares what it was like to train for a half Ironman five times and get injured every single time, why she keeps proving things to herself, and how the triathlon community became her family after losing her sister. This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt like they don't look the part, started late, or wondered if they belong in this sport. Join the Tri Beginner's Luck Community: Enjoyed this episode?

Jacob Tipper is a high-performance cycling and triathlon coach working with athletes such as Ben Healy (Tour de France stage winner and UCI World Championships third place in 2025), Lucy Byram, Dan Bigham and Jonny Brownlee. He is also a team coach or the EF Education-EasyPost WorldTour team. In today's interview we discuss training for amateur triathletes and we dive deep into Ben Healy's training and preparation that led to his breakthrough year in 2025.  HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  Jacob's thoughts on doing aerobic runs at a decent clip to optimise biomechanical development and running economy improvements.  The key characteristics of Ben Healy's training in 2025 Being a high-volume athlete on an annual basis without having very high weekly training volumes.  The changes in race tactics Ben implemented in 2025 to be able to win races at the highest level.  The differences between the scientific literature's view of cycling training and what it actually looks like How age-group triathletes should think about volume and intensity as drivers of adaptation when it comes to their cycling. How to maximise training return on investment for time-crunched athletes by not following rigid rules Monitoring training improvements by feel  How working on speed as the ultimate training metric is still important and still underestimated.  DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.
