Much like age group athletes, swimming was something that Macca struggled with throughout his career.

This week Macca talks all about swimming and passes on his knowledge so that all triathletes, regardless of their level can benefit. Chris talks about the differences in technique between swimmers and triathletes and what triathletes should focus on as well as what you should spend your time in the water doing to improve. Chris cuts through the white noise to simply state what you need to focus on to improve your swim split.

In December 2018, The 70.3 World Record was crushed by the young Norwegian athlete, Kristian Blummenfelt. Blummenfelt, who is better known for success at short course racing with some dominating performances at Super League managed a 21:36 swim, 1:56 bike and 1:06 run to crush the previous record with a 3:29:04!

This week we are extremely lucky to be joined by Kristian as he talks us through how that race unfolded, the preparation for the event and most importantly, how much faster he thinks he can go.

We discuss his plans for the future including Olympic success, Iron Man domination and not only breaking the 70.3 World Record but the Iron Man World Record as well.

Kristian also talks about the lessons that age group athletes can take from him to improve their performance as well.

This is an incredibly open and insightful conversation where you will gain a true insight into what it takes to go fast or as Kristian puts it, 'make your competitors look bad!'

One of the biggest benefits of being part of MX Endurance is access to our team of experts. Sarah Alexander is one of our racing experts. Sarah uses her experience as a racing professional triathlete to help our members maximise their performance.

So to help everyone get to know Sarah a little better, James Bale sat down and discussed her progression through the sport. Sarah does not have a background in triathlon competing as both a figure-skater and rower before making the shift to triathlon.

Sarah talks about the challenges she has faced coming to triathlon later in life, what racing ITU and Super League was like and the differences now she focuses on 70.3.
