This week, Katie Zaferes and Kelly O'Mara are joined by former British world champ turned high-performance coach Non Stanford to talk about why short-course racing is the most exciting — don't miss WTCS Karlovy Vary this weekend! — and what she's trying to build now as a coach.

Non talks about moving from Brit Tri into a leadership role with Triathlon Australia (as well as a move to the Gold Coast), her shift from elite racing to coaching, and how she’s balancing athlete demands ahead of Brisbane 2032.

She and Katie swap and compare notes on what they took away from racing and training and how they're building their coaching environments now.

They also dive into:

• How female Olympic developments stacks up in the U.S. v. the UK v. Australia
• Lessons they took from their coach, Joel Filliol
• What it's like to race and compete against your close friends
• Their favorite memory of racing and training together

Plus: A preview of WTCS Karlovy Vary and why you should get excited for mixed relays! Both Katie and Non are aiming to leave the sport better than they found it, and we believe they will.

Coaches: You could win a 200CHF On Running voucher by taking a survey for a new sports technology start-up, augo, about your experiences and pain points with existing coaching platforms. Augo is trying to build technology to help coaches manage the influx of information and data. Take the survey by the end of September here: https://form.typeform.com/to/nH2DRsL9
