From reluctant runner to international age-group athlete, Renata Moriconi’s journey is anything but typical.

Renata grew up far from the world of sport—she hated running, never mastered swimming, and left cycling behind in primary school. Yoga was the only activity that stuck, on and off, throughout her early life. Everything changed in 2006 when her car broke down and she bought a second-hand bike, unknowingly setting the first stone on a path she couldn’t yet imagine.

Years later, in her early forties, her youngest child’s commitment to competitive swimming, diving, and athletics slowly pulled Renata into an active lifestyle of her own. What started as occasional jogs with other parents quickly turned into something bigger. In 2016 she discovered a local triathlon group at her neighborhood lido—an encounter that transformed her life.

Fast-forward to 2024 and 2025: Renata qualified for the Age-Group European Triathlon Championships, raced on the world stage in the AG World Aquathlon in Pontevedra, and competed in the AG European Triathlon in Istanbul.

In this podcast, Renata shares the real, unfiltered story behind her late-blooming athletic career. Expect candid conversations about fear, identity, motherhood, beginners’ mindset, community, reinvention, and what it truly means to start—regardless of age or background. Whether you're an aspiring athlete or someone who thinks sport “isn’t for you,” Renata’s journey proves it’s never too late to redefine yourself.

Welcome to the Agegroup Multisport Podcast - the home of Agegroup Multisport

on This episode we chat to GB Agegroup Triathlete and aquathlete Jonathan Holden.

Johnathan says "Brief sporting history – pretty much zero but did do quite a lot of swimming growing up, but stopped inn late teens (well, a bit of cricket) until I did my first triathlon in May 2012.  Since then, I’ve represented GBR Age-Group 9 times in total, first qualifying for the team in November 2019 and going through all the lockdown cancellations/postponements.  GB Races:

 Valencia Euros (Standard Distance Tri) September 2021

Olstyn Euros (Standard Distance Tri) May 2022

Samorin Worlds (Long Distance Aquabike) August 2022

Bilbao Euros (Middle Distance Aquabike) September 2022

Ibiza Worlds (Long Distance Aquabike) May 2023

Madrid Euros (Standard Distance Tri) May 2023

Pontevedra Worlds (Standard Distance Aquabike) Sept 2023

Coimbra Euros (Middle Distance Aquabike) June 2024

Istanbul Euros (Standard Distance Tri) Sept 2025

 I’m not the best by any stretch, and have definitely benefitted from roll downs on more than one occasion. "

Hope you enjoy Jonathans journey. share it with a mate as thats how we grow.

Welcome back to AMP, its a great pleasure to welcome Nick Dunn on the pod.

Nick says

"Having been double World Age Group Champion across Sprint and Olympic distance as well as racing at Elite level in both short and long distance events, I had an enjoyable triathlon career and learnt so much along the way. While I was competing I also started coaching and quickly realised that this is what I wanted to do when I finally hung up my tri suit! That happened in 2013 and since then I have been a full time triathlon coach and never looked back.  Coaching is not just my job, it is my passion.

I have over 20 years racing and coaching experience plus a degree in sport science and a background in strength training.  For the last 12 years, as the Co-Founder of Challenge Tri Camp I have been lucky enough to have gained even more experience of working with a wide range of athletes covering all abilities and multisport disciplines, on 100’s of training camps!  So with most of my life in and around triathlon and now even having children that partake, I see my role as not just as a triathlon coach but as a role model and educator with the aim of helping our Challenge Tri Camp athletes to become healthier, fitter and stronger. This in turn, then aids them to achieve and meet their performance goals and triathlon aspirations.

I have taken complete novices who are unable to swim to compete in half distance events to working with professional triathletes to fine tune their already high skill base.  I have clients who are all about competing and have helped guide them through qualifications and then onto World Championships over all triathlon distances and also led athletes to World and European Gold medals in several disciplines. I am very proud of these coaching achievements and hold them above my own personal ones but for me it is about self-improvement no matter what level you are competing or completing at.  Whether that being doing their first ironman or a novice event, I look at all your numbers and stats, and enjoy doing the ‘techy’ bit but also want to know how you are doing and how you feel – triathlon both in training and on race day is about mental and physical strength and part of the coach athlete relationship is looking at the person as a whole.

I have ‘been there and done it’ but also have the knowhow and take huge pleasure to be able to pass on my knowledge and help others no matter what their starting level or aspirations are.

At Challenge Tri Camp we have a long and proud history of helping athletes achieve their goals and sporting aspirations.  Working closely with the athlete, it is about training smart to ensure they hit their goals in peak condition. "

Welcome along to another episode of the pod.It is our great pleasure to introduce GB Agegroup athlete Kirsty Prior.

For over 10 years Kirsty has competed across a host of different multi-sport events, from sprint to long distance. 

Kirsty says" I’ve always loved sport, playing all sorts of different team sports throughout school and university.  More recently, the thirst for adventure has taken hold, and sport has been a great excuse to get outside and have fun – whether that’s a run on the coastal path, taking to the trails on my bike or playing on my paddleboard.  I’m at my happiest when I’m out in the wild, soaking up everything the great British weather has to offer.

I can get bored easily, so I’m always on the lookout for something new.  My journey into duathlon started as a mountain biker, racing cross-country.  I spent a couple of years on the national circuit (progressing from finishing dead last in my first race – rolling in to see the winners already on the podium receiving their medals!), as well as competing in 12- and 24-hour events.  I was starting to get itchy feet when a friend suggested I try an off-road duathlon at our local trails, Ashton Court.  A rookie win (courtesy of a flying bike lap) and I was hooked.

Roll forward over ten years, and I’ve taken part in lots of different multi-sport events, from sprint to long distance and everything in between.  I’ve been privileged to compete for GB Age Group all over the world, meeting some amazing people and experiencing some weird and wonderful race locations along the way.  More recently, I started to realise just how much knowledge and experience I’ve amassed over that time, and that it’s incredibly rewarding to share that knowledge with others through coaching.

As a coach, I aim to be open, honest and encouraging.  I take a holistic approach, considering all aspects of performance, from swim-bike-run to strength and conditioning, nutrition, rest and recovery, health and wellbeing.  I’m collaborative, and believe in empowering individuals to make their own decisions, to be brave and to try new things.  We learn from experience, so don’t be afraid to have a go!

​

Away from the world of swim-bike-run:

• I’m a sports therapist.
• I have a crazy, lovable sprocker spaniel.
• Team sports are still a vital part of my life.  I love playing touch rugby, and am the co-founder of Eurostars – promoting the development of masters women’s touch across Europe

Please enjoy her journey and be inspired.

It was a pleasure to have a chat to our guest on this episode of the Agegroup Multisport Podcast, Pete Egglestone, agegroup double Gold medalist at the long distance triathlon and Author of his first book, "What has triathlon ever done for me"

Pete Says

"I’m currently 56 and have been involved in triathlon since 2004. I have no endurance sports background, played some team sport at school but no decent standard at all. After leaving university and starting work all exercise ended and after a few years I woke up one day and decided i didn’t like the direction I was headed so decided to start running. This evolved into participating in my first triathlon in 2004 and immediately falling in love with the sport.

Since then I’ve finished almost 140 triathlons, focusing on middle distance for the last 10 years. I’ve had the good fortune of representing GB a number of times, an experience that culminated in recent years with me winning gold in my age group at the long distance world champs in 2022 and 2024.

Triathlon has provided me with some many happy memories, experiences and friends that I recently decided to write a book summarising the life lessons the last 20 years have taught me, ‘What Has Triathlon Ever Done for Me’."
