Tom’s back on the InnerFight Endurance Podcast and we’re going all-in on T100 Dubai, triathlon, and racing in the desert heat.

In this episode, Tom Walker breaks down what makes the T100 series different from Ironman, how the Dubai course really races, and what that means for everyday athletes in Dubai who lift in the gym and want to smash triathlons or marathons.

We get into:

• How T100 shook up Ironman and the pro triathlon world
• Why the Dubai T100 course is “flat and fast”… but still absolutely brutal
• Heat, hydration and cooling strategies that actually work in the UAE
• Tapering without losing your mind (or your fitness)
• How to pace that awkward 18K run off an 80K bike
• “First buoy mentality” and dealing with everything that goes wrong on race day
• The mindset shift that took one InnerFight athlete from meltdown mode to winning her age group by over 60 minutes

If you love lifting in the gym and chasing big endurance goals — whether you’re in Dubai or anywhere in the world — this one will help you race smarter, stay cooler, and actually enjoy the suffering.
