The Triathlon Hour

It's almost impossible to believe it... but the first ever emergency podcast on The Triathlon Hour is about short course triathlon. We unpack & catch you up on the drama that took place over the weekend, the backstory and all you need to know.

We debrief Sam Laidlow's impressive win at Ironman Lanzarote before Lucy Charles-Barclay (who won the women's race) joins us to recap her race/day. We also talk about the results from Spain T100 and The Challenge Championships over the weekend. The first edition of Triathlon Mythbusters is here where we go over common things you hear in triathlon that we don't think are true, read your Spotify comments + Greg receives an all time group roasting to finish the podcast.

For the first time we are joined by the current Ironman World Champion, Solveig Lovseth. We talk all about her race at Kona and how it played out from her perspective, including what she thought when she ran past Taylor Knibb on the ground. Solveig then shares all the details about her training in the lead up to Kona and how her training has changed in 2026 in the lead up to winning Ironman Texas. We discuss Lionel Sanders joining her training group, the Norwegian boys and Solveig's 2026 plans. Plus lots of other general training/racing chat and Solveig asks a question of Jack that rocks the boat.

Sam Long is back to give you all the latest details on how he is training. He gives us full breakdown of how he structures his training blocks, how he uses a base block, a VO2 max block and a threshold block, how long he does each block for and in what order. He then takes us through day by day what he does in each of those blocks and we go deep on some of the big key/important sessions he does. He gives us a look into some secrets/hacks he uses in training that make him so good on the bike and we also get to hear him recount stories from Ironman 70.3 Oceanside and Ironman Texas which are the two races he's done this year.

Today we talk ALL things Ironman Texas. There were so many stories filled with drama and craziness to come out of the race, as well as some truly unbelievable performances (and some disastrous ones too). Ironman Texas had everything so grab a hot drink, put on your runners or get in your car while we analyse, discuss and debate them all.

The biggest Ironman of the year outside of Kona is here this weekend. Ironman Texas has a stacked men's and women's field with the likes of Kristian Blummenfelt, Casper Stornes, Jelle Geens, Lionel Sanders, Gustav Iden, Taylor Knibb, Kat Matthews, Solveig Lovseth and basically every other top ranked Ironman triathlete in the world racing. Jack, Vicky, Appo & Greg are here to tell you everything you need to know before the race, including analysis, opinion and debate about what will unfold and how each athlete's race will play out.

Jonas Schomburg has become one of the best long course triathletes in the world and along the way has gained a reputation for training hard and longer than any other triathlete in the world. Rumours of 40 hour training weeks and insane sessions have spread throughout the long course world over the past 18 months so we decided it's time we finally got him on the podcast and got ALL the details about how he trains. We ask about every single little detail so that after listening to this we can all go from hearing whispers and rumours to knowing exactly what Jonas Schomburg does and why he is so good.
