Age Group Triathlon Podcast

In this week's episode I am joined by my client Sam who shares his experience of training for IRONMAN Wales while following a vegan diet. Sam isn't a born again vegan who tried to convince everyone it is the best way to eat, rather he shares his own experiences and tips for ensuring he gets all the macronutrients and micronutrients he needs while still following a plant based diet.

Deciding to sign up to a triathlon is a big step, but we also need to find a target race.

As triathletes we get bombarded with marketing, recommendations and adverts from pros about the best bike equipment out there. The bike is definitely an area where you can buy yourself speed, but where is the best place to spend your money? When should you splurge, and when should you save? 

In this week's episode I look at the best bike upgrades you can get for your money, to help ensure you are investing in your performance in the right places, and not throwing money after upgrades which provide little to no benefit.

In this week's episode I look at how to ride in poor weather conditions. It's very rare that you turn up on race day to a bike course that is bone dry, with no wind and at a perfectly warm temperature. I share some insights on how to prepare for these conditions, equipment you may want to invest in, and strategies to give yourself an edge on your competition.
