The Triathlon Hour

The podcast starts today with everyone in the group giving you 2 opinions each that they think you’ll all disagree with, 2 that you’ll agree with and then 2 they think will split opinions and then debate them one by one! 

Then endurance coaching genius Andrew Russell joins us to discuss training psychology, some key sessions, sleep and diet!

The show then finishes with a report on the T100 and how they are ACTUALLY going and whether it's as bad as everyone is saying.

FOR ANY TRAINING/MENTAL/SLEEP/DIET questions, advice or just to brainstorm with someone about how to get the most out of your program, lifestyle, routine, work life balance, etc. etc. etc. send Andrew Russell an email at Andrew@russellperformanceco.com

We start the show by discussing our most controversial 2026 triathlon opinions. There is some simply outrageous opinions and plenty of strong feedback for each other. Kristian Blummenfelt, Sam Laidlow, Alex Yee, Hayden Wilde, Australia, Doping, Brett Sutton and so many other crazy topics get debated. 

We then get stuck into picking which people have had better 2026’s so far and why. Plus a whole bunch of training chat, like do long runs matter, is zone 3 better than zone 2, is diet important and much more.

We have come back from our mid year break fresh, rusty, opinionated and ready for a big end to 2026!!!

A little over a week ago Paula won her first ever Ironman at Lake Placid and a few weeks before that Ari won his first ever pro Ironman 70.3 + they’ve both been on podiums in their last 3 races SO Jack sat down with them both at the same time to get all of their training, racing & life updates.

Paula & Ari must have been in good moods because they divulged some secret Ironman training that we'd never about heard before and both of them gave us lots of strong opinions on a wide range of topics in the triathlon world. This one was amazing and we hope you enjoy it!

Ironman in 2026 is WILD. Marten Van Riel sends a warning To Kristian, Gustav & Casper. Marquardt is a threat. Trevor Foley was on the podium before it all came crashing down. Paula Findlay puts on a masterclass ahead of a strong field, now onto the real test - Kona! And Chelsea Sodaro's 4 hour marathon has us all questioning whether she still has what it takes.

We LOVE Ironman Lake Placid and whether you watched the race and want some friends to debrief it with or couldn't tune in and need to be caught up, today's podcast is for you.

Only a few days after winning Challenge Roth and shocking the triathlon world by beating Lucy Charles-Barclay & Kat Matthews to do so, Alanis Siffert joins us to talk all about HOW she did it. We get stuck right into the training she did leading into the race where Alanis gives us so many details we could all literally just copy her program. But I warn you, it's a pretty crazy training program that not many people in the world could survive (like her huge double bike and double run days, for example).

I get the scoop on her 4 month training camp in China where her life was nothing but eat, sleep, train, repeat and ask all about what China is really like as a training camp environment and to make it a bit less mysterious for us all. There's lots of other amazing stuff in here about mindset and trying to train harder than the rest of the world, diet, body weight and we also get a step by step recounting of the Challenge Roth race and stories from Alanis that you won't have heard anywhere else yet.

The European Heatwave caused CARNAGE for the Ironman world this weekend. Ironman France/70.3 Nice were cancelled last minute and there was some mysterious circumstances around that which we ponder. Ironman Frankfurt then almost followed suit except instead of being cancelled it got shortened. We discuss everything surrounding that. We then recap the actual race for you and catch up on what we missed in triathlon over the past week.
