A long show, but a good one. Mark fly's solo today and answers a few listener questions (warning a few rants) as well as a really insightful chat about coaching experience and competency with Kerry McGawley Applied Sports Scientist with @vintersportcent. Associate Professor and multiple AG triathlon champion. Enjoy1

Heather and Mark our back together putting the triathlon world to rights! In this show they answer a number of listeners questions, plus a quiz question and a whole lot more. Enjoy.

Mark finally catches up with PTO CEO Mr Sam Renouf to discuss further PTO developments, specifically the new allocated prize money for Challenge Daytona, higher production value and media involvement. It can only be a good thing.

Mark chats to two of the best 70.3 UK athletes - Elliot Smales and George Goodwin. This episode was unscripted, just two committed athletes chatting about the sport they love. Enoy!

Heather re-tells a story of being hunted down, but it may not what you're expecting. You're gonna love this story - Mark pissed himself. Mark tries his best to match this anecdote, but you can decide. Warming this is adult humour.
