The Triathlon Hour

Jack, Justin & Ari are back to bring you your weekly source of triathlon entertainment. The racing & drama from Ironman 70.3 Eagleman is on the agenda including the controversy surrounding the pro men interfering with the pro women’s race and Sam Long v Trevor Foley. Sam Appleton joins us on the pod filling in for Greg and he questions whether the T100 has lived up to expectations or not. He also brings his “10 Commandments of Triathlon” based on his two decades in triathlon and the group delivers a therapy session for Ari. We then finish with some inspirational quotes and rapping Lose Yourself by Eminem.  Sign up to Patreon Here - Patreon link

T100 San Francisco, the battle between Kat & Laura at Ironman Hamburg and Ironman marathon records are on the agenda for news headlines. Enemy of The Show returns and we take aim at Sam Long, Bob Babitt, Morgan Pearson, Cam Wurf among others. We do some training chat around things that always work vs things that can be hit or miss and then one of the boys goes through a much needed intervention.   Sign up to Patreon Here - Patreon link

Opinions, discussions and observations from a big weekend at Ironman 70.3 St George.  

Justin Riele joins us to talk all things training, triathlon and life. How did he become such a beast on the bike while still working full time? He gives all the details on his unique and specific training methods. He talks about race visualisation, lactate and the Norwegian method, structuring training around his job and being a weekend warrior. He also gives us exact numbers on how much money he makes from triathlon with races and brand sponsorship which is very unique and honest insight. The highlight of the pod is definitely Justin singing a few bars of Mariah Carey.  Sign up to Patreon Here - Patreon link   Pillar Performance - Pillar Performance Link + TTH15 - 15% off site-wide for first time users   Precision Fuel & Hydration - Precision Link use TTH25 for 15% off your first order (or find the code for 20% off all orders on Patreon)   buycycle - Buycycle Link need to sell your bike?

Alex Yee joins us to talk about his training & life in details you’ve never heard before. He goes through day by day what his typical training week looked like prior to running London Marathon, including key sessions and why he did things the way he did and compared that to his typical week leading into winning Olympic gold at Paris in the triathlon. We talk about his future plans for potentially trying to break the Ironman full distance world record in a sub 6:44 challenge and going to Kona. Eliot Kipchoge, the half marathon world record, screen time, relationships, the universe and so much more training conversation make up what was a very, very special podcast for The Triathlon Hour.
