Jason West has become known as one of the fastest runners in the sport of triathlon. His goal is to win an IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships and he is currently having a lot of success, winning several races and landing on the podium in many others. In our chat with Jason we talk about his triathlon journey and his strategies for racing success.

We look at Jason’s performances at the PTO Open and the Collins Cup plus his approach to training and how he's improving his skills on both the bike and the run. He shares how he works towards consistent improvement and how he’s evolving, including the lessons he feels he learned from his mistakes last year and how they've informed his approach to training and racing this year.

We talk about the significance of maintaining a balance between training, racing and enjoyment and how Jason has managed to stay at the top of his game whilst still enjoying the process.

We look back at the PTO race in Milwaukee and his incredible run from the back of the race to finish second behind Jan Frodeno and ahead of Kristian Blummenfelt after a battle to the finish line.

Lastly, we discuss the challenges of balancing the PTO and World Triathlon schedules, the importance of enjoying the process and journey of triathlon and the points and rankings systems within triathlon.
