Finally, after 4 years of trying, our calendars have aligned and we have Jonny Brownlee as a guest on the podcast! The life of a professional triathlete is busy and that offers limited opportunities to meet up. The pandemic hasn’t helped but finally, I've pinned down the younger Brownlee and I popped round to his house to catch up on everything. Starting with that Olympic Gold medal in Tokyo just a few months ago and trawling right back through the memories to the day when Jonny joined the North of England talent ID programme back in the mid-2000s.

That's roughly 15 years of catching up so please pay attention as we cover a lot of topics including:

A short quiz to get Jonny warmed up and help you get to know him a bit better

Olympic medals and the importance of taking the time to reflect on key moments in your life

Why Jonny never wanted to touch Alistair’s Gold medal before he had his own

Coping with COVID - not much difference to the rest of us (really!)

Local fell races and the joy of running without gadgets

The 4-year streak (never off the podium) and then the doldrums (rarely on the podium)

Why there is such a thing as good luck and bad luck

That moment in Cozumel and why it had a long-lasting effect on Jonny’s fitness

The debut 70.3 in Portugal and when the wheels fall off in the last 5k of the run

The Paris Olympics in 2024 - yes or no?
