Joe is joined by Tom Epton to disect all the drama from Ironman Texas - Kat vs Taylor, a dominant Blummenfelt, and whether over biking cost more than just time. They look ahead to St George 70.3, previewing both stacked fields, picking podiums, and debating tactics, swim groups, and who can run their way to glory. Plus, gravel talk, team time trials, questionable life balance in pro sport, and plans for an Olympic-distance showdown in Font-Romeu.

Joe catches up with Olympic triathlon legend Jonny Brownlee for a proper chat about a career that has had just about everything. From running to school with a backpack full of books to standing on Olympic podiums alongside his brother Alistair, Jonny reflects on the highs, the tough moments and everything in between.

They talk through the golden years of ITU racing, what it was like training with Team Sky, almost switching to pro cycling, and why Rio 2016 still leaves a bit of a sting. There are plenty of laughs too, including a story about Alistair going out on the beers and then smashing a long ride the next morning like nothing happened.

This one is full of insight, honesty and great stories from one of the sport’s most respected and consistent athletes.

In this episode I sit down with Tyler Mislawchuk, a Canadian triathlete who has raced at three Olympic Games and has one of the most interesting stories in the sport. We chat about how he went from playing ice hockey in freezing cold Winnipeg to racing on the world’s biggest triathlon stages.

Tyler opens up about the tough transition from short course to long course racing and what really happened to him at T100 Singapore. We talk about some of the wild stuff he’s experienced, like learning to swim properly at 16, training through minus 40 winters, being written off by his national federation, and how he made his first Olympic team by going completely off the traditional path.

There’s plenty of banter, some good laughs, and loads of insight into what it takes to make it in this sport. Tyler’s story is all about resilience and I reckon you’ll enjoy this one as much as I did.
