The Triathlon Hour

Join Jack, Vicky, Appo & Greg as they discuss a recent article written by legendary coach Joel Filio about being too fit, too soon in the season. Then Jack ranks the best Ironman World Champions before the best part of every show - responding to your Spotify comments!

Jackson starts the show with a shocking & disturbing revelation before Ari & Justin gets involved to start talking about their training weeks. The three boys were all on different training camps this week - Justin undertook Tadej Pogacar levels of bike training, Ari continues his rise as the Zone 2 King and Jackson does even more VO2 Max. Plenty of insightful training talk and banter yet again this week.

This week we starts things off by discussing zone 2 training, how to be a good time trialist, polarised training with high volume and ERG mode on the trainer. We then talk about food & diet for a little bit before a short but interesting discussion of what is the most important run session of the week. And, as always, we finish the show off by reading and responding to your Spotify comments!

We start this weeks episode by going over everything from the T100 Grand Final on the weekend. We then move onto the T100’s 2026 plans and their big announcement of a merger with World Triathlon in 2027. To say there are some strong opinions thrown around in these discussions would be an understatement. Then it’s time to talk about the uncovering that a triathlete has been deceiving and lying to everyone since at least 2024. And we finish off the show, as always, by reading and responding to your Spotify comments.
