The Triathlon Brick Session

Mark catches up with India Lee who won her debut 70.3 Weymouth race in testing conditions. Could ths be the right distance for her? Thorstan Radde has also gives us a quick insight into his predictions for Kona 2018.

Another bonus chat with probably the best 70.3 Age Group triathlete in the World Chris Standidge. Just two mates chewing that fat about triathlon. Also a great Brecca swim - run race review from one of our many listeners - will it will inspire you?

A bonus show that I should have pushed out a few weeks ago, but still very relevant. Brad has, and still is heavily involved with triathlon. specifically Ironman. We chat about how Ironman can improve the coverage for the World Championships, smack talk, doping and lots more. Enjoy!

Another packed show for you including Andy's experience at the Otillo World Championships. Rich is also back racing some off road triathlon along with long course AG legend Charlie Pennington. Charlie Pennington sent in his race review from IM Denmark and a triathlon excuse fo you to enjoy.

The team discuss the current controversy and confusion regarding OSB (Outlaw) new race entry system. Mark also has a bit of a rant - nothing new there. Enjoy.........

In today's episode Andy and Mark (Richard is on Holiday) speed through a number of interesting subjects. These include ironman's decision to give Matt Russell a Kona slot, Tim Dons successful Kona qualification and the news that convicted DOPER Alexander Nikolayevich Vinokourov will also going to Kona 2018 after qualifying at IM Denmark. We also discuss the Irish Times article which basically ridiculed and mocked triathletes across the world...... Finally we answer a question from a listener all the way from NY about how best to train if you have a manual job. Oh and a great triathlon excuse and race review as always - enjoy!

Yet another great interview with 4 x Paralympian Claire Cashmore (Gold medal at Rio De Janeiro) . You're gonna really enjoy Mark's chat with Claire who has been to 4 Paralympic games, plus lots of European and World Championships over the last 16yrs. To top that off she was awarded an MBE for her contribution to Para Swimming.

Find out how Claire really lost her arm and how she's managing to adapt to her new goal of representing Team GB at triathlon at the next games. Lot of laughs along the way - enjoy!

In this show Mark chats to Dr. Josephine Perry from Performance in Mind (www.performanceinmind.co.uk). Josephine as been a triathlete for more than a decade now, regularly representing Great Britain at various Age-Group events and Ironman over that time.

She has been undertaking research since last summer, looking at the impacts of technology on the risk of exercise addiction.

Some interesting findings too, suggesting that the risk of exercise addiction in ultra-endurance athletes is higher than has previously been reported and that use of health technologies can increase the risk of becoming addicted to exercise - enjoy.

This is the perfect show if you're planning a long run (approx 90mins). Today the team discuss how to recognise self sabotage/handicapping and how to develop techniques in which to reduce and avoid its negative effects. Lots of banter and laughs along the way, as normal. See who wins Andy's quiz this week. Race round up with James (still single) and we also have a great race review and triathlon excuse from some of loyal our listeners.
