This week we have a very special episode where I interview one of my clients; a police officer and member of CID with 10 years experience, about how we can protect ourselves if we are ever hit by another vehicle while riding. We cover how to report any incidents, whether you can snatch a driver's keys, which details to record following a collision, what your rights to self defence are if things turn ugly, and more, as well as bit about his own training and racing. If you have any questions about the content of the episode, or any follow up questions you'd like to get answered, please email me at [email protected].

In this episode we look to disprove some of the most common misconceptions around kicking in the swim, bulking up from strength training, the impact weight has on performance, expensive bikes and how much salt you should be consuming in races. If you have any questions, would like to appear on the podcast as a guest, or are interested in coaching, email me at [email protected] To read my deep dive on how weight affects triathlon performance, please visit https://www.phazontriathlon.com/index.php/2024/01/03/how-much-does-weight-affect-triathlon-performance/

Running injuries are the bane of many endurance athlete, and the primary reason that we fail to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. In this episode I chat to a member of my running club who shares his injury recovery story. If you have any questions, are interested in coaching, or would like to come on the show yourself to share your story, please reach out via social media, or messaging me at [email protected]

In today's episode I chat to one of my athletes James who recently completed his first Ironman in Tenby, the conclusion of a long journey seven years in the making. We discuss sausage rolls, turbo training, making the bike cutoff by 90 seconds, why back of the pack athletes are in a different race to those at the front and how setting an example to his daughter was one of the primary motivators in ensuring he got the job done.

In our first episode, we chat with one of my clients Greg about his experience in the Ride Across Britain event. After two years racing Ironman, Greg wanted to mix things up and take on a truly epic challenge. Inspired after reading about the event, he asked me to help him train for the challenge. We chat about his training, mindset, nutrition, crashes, torrid weather conditions and much more to give an insight into the world of ultra cycling. For those interested in taking on the challenge themselves, the Ride Across Britain Facebook group is a great place to start: https://www.facebook.com/rideacrossbritain.
