Simon is once again joined by Steve Lumley and Marc Laithwaite as the Grumpy Old Coaches reunite for a fourth podcast. This time they are answering questions sent in by listeners and members of our Facebook tribe.  As promised, there are no holds barred so if you asked a silly question be prepared for a silly answer. Of course, the GOC’s do have a sensible side and still manage to retain some professional dignity when answering your serious questions.  In this episode:

  • Marc explains why he was imitating Magnum PI by wearing a blonde wig
  • Simon finds out he’s not as popular as he thought as he gets left off the desert island invites
  • Marc travels back in time to advise his younger coaching self not to be such a cocky, know it all
  • Advice on how to avoid low back pain and saddle sores on your TT bike
  • How to be faster in transition
  • The GOC’s fess up on their biggest ever mistakes in racing
  • How to pace your race if you have no power meter
  • Peeing on the bike during a race - yes or no?
  • Which bad habits of triathletes wind our coaches up the most?
  • Simon reveals what he was thinking when riding up Hovis Hill
  • Here are some links that we made reference to during today’s episode
