This week we have a general discussion about whether sports science and data is adding value to coaching methods or whether it's actually distracting from the basic, underpinning principles of performance. If you're not using gadgets, power meters, data, strava and similar tech, you may be labelled as 'old fashioned' but just how much extra value does it provide? Endurance sports can be very simple, maybe we're making them too complicated?

In episode 37 of The Endurance Podcast, we discuss January mistakes that you'll want to avoid as you start your new year training. It's back to normal, on Tweets of the week with Mike taking the victory.

January Mistakes - Don’t make them!!

In episode 36, we have a great chat with Tom Rigby and Dan McParland. The 2 North West athletes are close friends, training partners and both had Stellar years in 2022. Dan lead Ironman UK overall until mile 14 in the marathon and finished his year winning Ironman Florida. Tom won 70.3 Ireland at a canter and then Ironman Wales. The question of the podcast... In 2023, there's 400m to go to the Ironman UK finish line and you're shoulder to shoulder, 1st and 2nd overall... what's the conversation you have?
