Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Podcast

Key lessons learned from a career as a pro triathlete * Will Clarke


Listen Later

I don’t have as many elite athletes on this podcast as some, but when I do I make sure they have a good story to tell! This week's guest is Will Clarke who I got to know when he was a young man just starting out on his triathlon journey. Since then he has enjoyed a full career as a professional triathlete, representing Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics before turning his hand to racing 70.3 and Ironman events. Will is now a full-time triathlon coach and it was really interesting to chat with him about this journey and how his experiences have shaped his current occupation.

It’s a normal Wardy conversation as we disappear down some rabbit holes and cover plenty of topics including:

  • Training as a young athlete and what you might do differently if you had the chance
  • How hard is it to make a living as a pro triathlete?
  • The biggest misconceptions AG’ers have about being a pro
  • How do athlete experiences shape the way you coach?
  • How does a retired pro triathlete stay in shape?
