It’s time to listen to the podcast that everyone has been talking about with Ironman CEO Andrew Messick. This episode gets heated. There’s hard questions, debate, there’s back & forth and **spoiler alert** it ultimately ends with Andrew walking off the podcast. But at least he got to eat his lunch live on air before walking off

Alistair Brownlee is a 2 x Olympic Gold Medalist, 4 x World Champion, 4 x European Champion and Commonweath Games Gold Medalist. He is the most dominant Short Course Triathlete the world has ever seen. No one in the sport of triathlon has ever put in the level of performances Alistair Brownlee did at his peak. He’s also moved to long course and been a 2 x Ironman 70.3 World Champion and multiple Ironman Champion. We talk about what training Alistair was doing leading into both of his Olympic Gold medal winning races, his training philosophies including the importance of aerobic training, high volume & consistency to success. And as always there’s the exact breakdown of what does a typical Monday -> Sunday training week look like for him. We go into some classic Alistair Brownlee stories, talk about the year ahead and how Alistair plans to win the Ironman World Championships.

In todays episode we talk about what training Collin did in the lead up to winning the PTO US Open with coach Mikal Iden & training partner Lionel Sanders. Lionel, Collin and Mikal decided to do a period of overreaching training prior to the PTO US Open in a bid to beat the worlds best - and it worked. We go through the training day by day and then discuss their brutal heat training. Then we talk about the following month in the lead up to the Ironman World Champs where, under the watchful eye of Coach Mikal, Collin & Lionel continued on their path of doing HUGE amounts of training out on the big island. Talbot Cox filmed their training out there and posted about it every day on Lionel Sanders YouTube page. Once you listen to this - go and watch that. We then talk about diet, both day to day and race day. Collin is as honest and detailed as any guest we’ve had and I found this chat with him so interesting, raw & insightful.

Emma Snowsill is one of the greatest female triathletes to have ever lived. She's an Olympic Gold Medalist and 3 x Triathlon World Champion. We talk all about Emma's training. Exactly what her swim, bike and run training looked like in order to win her Olympic Gold Medal. She takes us through specifics of her weekly training, what every single session specifically looked like, where it all was in her schedule and why. This was as comprehensive a training chat as we've had. We also talk all about her racing, coaches, retirement and then go deep on the mental side of triathlon and how Emma believes the thing that separated her from the rest was her mental toughness. She takes us through this in detail. We briefly touch on her relationship with husband Jan Frodeno and find out if she has any influence on his training. Emma is one of the true legends of triathlon and if you don't know her story and love triathlon, this episode is for you.

The World Champion Olympic distance triathlete of 2022 Leo Bergere joins us to talk about his training, racing and life. Leo tells us exactly what he does in training Monday -> Sunday. Every single session, every detail, in the lead up to winning the World Champs. You can literally copy Leos training after this podcast. We talk about his change from short, fast VO2 max style training to a more volume based aerobic program and how that took his racing to the next level. Everyone expected Alex Yee or Hayden Wilde to win the World Championships & Grand Final this year, but Leo shocked the world and won both. Does this make him the favourite for the next Olympics?
