The Age Grouper: Triathlon Podcast

It’s part 2 of 2, the all Eric show. Eric tells us all about his plans for 2014 (which should make for a quick show!) that includes Ironman and mountain biking. What? Mountain biking? Yep! There might be a friendly wager involved too.

We're back to wrap up 2013 with this all new mega episode! In part 1 of 2, this is the all Jeff show where he tells us all about his 2013 triathlon season, unexpected injuries, new foot ware and his new diet - the paleo diet. That's right, no more carbs for this paleolete!

We're back at the new Age Grouper Studios North with a special, and precious, guest host! We go over the long awaited results of Jeff's face-off at the Chase Corporate Challenge then break down training for an olympic distance event in detail. Take it from Eric, you need to have faith in your abilities! And we finish things off with some triathlon lingo.

Looking to break that multi-decade old 5K PR this year? Well you’re in luck, we break down the secrets to successful speed work in this super-sized episode! It all comes down to if you want to race fast you need to train fast.

What sort of international endurance-sport media frenzy would be complete without interjecting our opinions into it? Because no issue is ever truly over-hyped until we weigh in on it! As promised, we’re back and we won’t disappoint with this performance enhanced episode. We offer a paltry explanation (again) about where we’ve been all these months, discuss our latest training regimes, including my new secret weapon - Insanity, then tackle the Lance Doprahstrong crisis head on. Believe me, it’s worth the wait!

Triathlon coach Dean Hewson is back for our annual spring training camp episode. We talk about the logistics of participating in, and just pulling off a successful early-season training camp. It doesn’t matter if you fly away for a week or just head out for the weekend, a training camp can really get you prepped for a great season. Then we go over some often forgotten basics of triathlon training. We end it all with the trendiest thing in social media these days - Sh!t Triathletes Say!

It's been a long, albeit mild, winter but we're ready to come out of hibernation and shed some of that extra winter insulation. We report on all we've been up to over the last few months. Then, just in time for the Spring buying season, we list the essential triathlon items needed to directly improve your splits in swimming, biking and running.

It's the first show of 2012 and our 5th season on iTunes! Thanks for supporting The Age Grouper all this time, we're no where near done!

Jeff, Eric and Dean get together over some drinks for this all-off-season episode. First we debate various training faux-pas, including running in place at stop lights, then discuss the merits of alternative race organizations. Ultimately we answer all of your off-season questions and, well, fall off the wagon a bit too.

Eric’s back for this all-Apple episode. First we have a look at what Siri’s priorities really are, then break down Eric’s Ironman, the Hawaii Ironman and the Chicago Triathlon. As usual we don’t hold back our thoughts about Crowie, Chrissie, Rinny and Siri.

Triathlon coach Dean Hewson joins us as guest host while Eric remains grounded in baby-land. We recap our races at the Chicago Triathlon and discuss some common mistakes first-timers make at such big races. Plus, there's plenty of trash talkin, especially because Eric isn't here to defend himself!
