Max Meumann shocked the world by coming 4th at the Ironman World Championships and being the only guy who could compete toe to toe with the Norwegians on the bike and run. He gives the best race recap from Kona I’ve ever heard, talks about Kristian Blummenfelt’s aggressive and ruthless racing on the day, his “crazy” training, how he heat prepped for the race, his poor treatment by Ironman Oceania this year and lots, lots more in this 2 hour special edition.

The Ironman World Championships were yesterday and over the next week we will be recording episodes with the winners and big players. But today, in the meantime, we look ahead to the next big race - the Ironman 70.3 World Champs that take place in 3 weeks time. And Taylor Knibb is the favourite to win that race. She has a world class swim, the best 70.3 bike in the sport and is a solid runner. She’s the athlete you have to get through if you’re any chance. We go through all her training in the build up and find out what training she’s done to become the big favourite for the race.

The last day of our five episodes in five days to celebrate the Ironman World Champs with one of my all time favourite people in triathlon, the junkyard dog himself Joe Skipper. So many people are predicting Joe to have a massive race in Kona this weekend. He's in career best form, has the bike/run on his day to beat just about everyone in the world and in this episode he takes us right through the training he's been doing to get in what he hopes is World Championship winning shape. We also have all the usual fun chat that comes with talking to Joe!! Thanks everyone for tuning in this week, I hope you've enjoyed all the episodes and it's made you more excited/ready for the Ironman World Champs hearing about the training blocks the athlete and coaches have done in the lead up. If you haven't listened to them all, then hopefully you've got some long rides, runs or car trips over the weekend to listen to them to help motivate you and make the time fly by!

Day three of our Ironman World Champs week is Skye Moench! Skye came 4th at last years World Champs and with the women's race being on Thursday we are only a bit over one day away from seeing if she can better that this year. This chat with Skye is awesome, she takes us deep inside the training she's done in the lead up (and in her career as a whole). Not only do we talk about all of her training in crazy detail, we also chat about diet and weight in potentially the most meaningful way we ever have on an episode. Is looking at yourself and hating what you see normal as a triathlete even if you're in great shape? Are you alone if you have ever had thoughts like that? You're not and hear about it from one of the worlds best professional triathletes in this episode!
