Today we have fellow Specialized athletes, Michelle and Katy Duffield joining us on the show. Not long ago, these two fast ladies became the first Aussie twins to qualify for Kona (as age groupers) and have since begun their pro-careers, racking up some impressive performances to date. The girls join us today to chat about what it's like racing at the pointy end of the female AG field and taking the big leap into pro ranks. Mim and Katy are class athletes with great attitudes and plenty of wisdom to share for age groupers.

• Being the first Aussie twins to race Kona.
• Dealing with setbacks and how to stay positive.
• Staying focused on your own race (when your sister is performing better on the day!)
• Learning from mistakes.
• Developing the right attitude.
• Why giving back is so important.
• Who inspires the twins to race.
• How to be a better age grouper.

• How Sara got to this point and breathing life into Tri Equally.
• Andrew Messicks message.
• How Ironman creates empowering life lessons.
• The pro value.
• Pro Triathlon Union.
• Why equality is important for future generations.
• Mentoring pathway
• The big question around #womeninsport
• Sara spreading the word via wisp.media

Jon happens to be the first person we ever spoke to in the world of triathlon as he was the then president of Brat Tri Club when Charlotte and I were looking at triathlon. We got to know JP over the years but it was only recently that I got to know what he does for a living.

Today I get to speak with JP all about the brain and how we can use it to get the outcomes we desire. Pete and I are fascinated about this stuff because we know it’s an area of untapped potential. Not just for our sporting potential but our potential in living a life well lived.

• The simple model of the brain
• Why we need to be able to effectively communicate to self and others
• Emotional intelligence
• When things go wrong
• Fixed versus growth mindsets
• What practice becomes
• And why repetition is the mother of all skill
• The steps to creating a better story of you.
• Playing above or below the line.
• And more.

Today Kristian and Pete talk with ex-professional triathlete, Richard Allen who is heading up the new Professional Triathlon Union, or the PTU. The PTU was launched at the end of July and they are now in the “spreading the word” phase. What started as a discussion between triathletes about how to change and develop/improve the sport, turned into what is now the PTU. Membership uptake and input/support from pro-athlete’s is key to the success and influence the PTU will have moving forward.

This is an important topic in our sport and a refreshing look at how change is possible by taking the first step.

• What is the PTU
• How the PTU started
• The PTU as a work in progress
• The grand slam idea
• Education and mentoring - helping pro’s be more professional
• A Code of Conduct for professionals
• The benefits of PTU membership
• Grants for athletes in developing countries
• An athlete database, showing stats, races, results, etc.
• The next 12 months - what is in store
• Supporting change via the supporters club

Today Pete and I had the opportunity to speak with founder of the Marc Pro EMS device Ryan Heaney. We have used and played with various EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) devices before but only came across the Marc Pro unit after speaking with Kelly Starrett.

We got to delve into the science and how the devices we see on the market differ in the outcomes achieved. We all know that recovery is king to our ultimate performances. The quicker one can recover, the quicker they can train hard again and adapt to the stimulus.

What we love is the simplicity and its time efficiency. Pete and I are definitely adding this to our recovery to help performance tool box.

• No, it’s not going to give you 6 pack abs ;-)
• The 4 steps of recovery
• The importance of shifting the fluid
• Not just any EMS - when and how to use the Marc Pro
• Conditioning versus recovery
• Recovery - how to make the most of the hard work
• For the 40+’s - don’t slow down, just recover better
