We're back with our first RACE WEEK episode in 4 months... What a rollercoaster it has been to get here, but we talk you through the race, the prep, the expectations and everything else in between!

Thank you all so much for sticking by us as we've navigated Steph's medical question marks since May/June. We really appreciate it and HOPEFULLY this marks a step forward to a new normal...

Well well well, it was all going a bit tooooooo smoothly... Steph crashed on her bike which has provided us with plenty of "entertainment" in the last week on camp (because she is fine...). We talk about the crash, recovery AND the rest of normal camp things!

Coming to you from halfway up a mountain, this week we talk all things PoTS and how Steph's training has been shaken up, as well as reflections on a first week (ever!!!) at altitude!

We're hoping our lack of organisation is now at an end and we will be back with you weekly...

An update episode all round today! 2 weeks on from sharing the diagnosis and we talk through EVERYTHING we've learned over the last few weeks, turbo-charged as Steph is back "on programme" and building to Kona (albeit slowly - think tortoise, not hare).

Featuring stories from Swansea, concerns about carrying melted flapjacks in jersey pockets and a VERY personal Watt The Buck!

This week is a BIG week as we talk you through the recent diagnosis Steph has had. It's good news but it does get a little raw in places as we work through what it could mean and how life might need to look a little different. We aren't going anywhere however; the triathlon dream lives on!

How do we find ourselves in the troughs of motivation, and why might peaks not be what we're looking for? This week we explore the highs and lows of motivation, why they happen and what we can do about it. Steph also chats about mindfulness and it's central role in unlocking GREAT decision making when the pressure it on.

Send us your Watt the Buck moments so we can give some more shout outs; we love to hear them!

Getting better at triathlon, life and walking up stairs without all the training stress?! Sign us up! Steph talks through a development in her recovery that has absolutely BLOWN her mind and resulted in the best two swims she's had in years...

Steph and Matt also dive into 5 race week tips to keep stress levels looowww and the focus firmly ON race day and none of the logistics before!

Some BIG updates this week after a week of testing (and testing Steph's patience hahah). We aren't completely there yet but we update you with what we DO know, and how important it is to advocate for yourself when you know something is wrong...

ps send us your Watt the Buck's - yours and people you know - we want to hear about you doing cool things out there!

Welcome back to the pod! CLEARLY Ironman Hamburg didn't go to plan over the weekend and Steph gives a quick update as to what's going on before diving into what was a really incredible day of racing!

We give a bit of an insight into our decision making for what the rest of the season is going to look like (pending the next week or so), before calling out some other outrageous performances from the weekend...

We're a bit late and it's because Matt prioritised beers over podcast (and definitely not because it was a travel day and we were both tired...).

But here it is! Our Ironman Hamburg race week podcast, running you through the startlist, course and Steph's approach for rrrrrrrace day.
