This week’s guest will be familiar to most of you, regardless of whether you're a committed triathlete or not. In fact along with his brother (a podcast guest in 2 weeks' time) they are two of the most famous, and popular, Yorkshiremen of the 21st century. This will be Alistair Brownlee’s second time on the show, the first was just before his Kona debut in 2019. Today we're going to spend most of the time chatting about his new book 'Relentless: Secrets of the Sporting Elite’.

We start with a brief recap of the last two years before we get into the book. In this conversation, you’ll hear a different side to the Alistair that we have all come to know in the last 12 years as we chat about:

Recapping Kona 2019, dealing with the pandemic, ankle injury, missing selection for the Olympics

Enthusiasm for gravel riding, including 57 hours continuous riding at the Badlands epic in Spain

The book - A 5-year project

Surreal conversation in Ronnie O’ Sullivan’s mum’s kitchen

Denise Burton with some surprises about her mum, Beryl Burton

Ian Botham on the torpedo and the tube

Why the term 'genius' undermines the hard work that the best sportspeople put in on a daily basis

Searching for the answer to “why do I do what I do?"
