The Triathlon Brick Session

Heather and I chat about the farce that is "World Records" in triathlon. We also chat about the real Bahrain 13 and the current political environment/history in Bahrain. Don't worry we do lighten the mood so stick with it. Enjoy

Today Mark and Caroline discuss race nutrition with Rupert Bonington (Mountain Fuel) and the specific strategies involved when trying to execute the perfect race day nutrition plan. Even after 25yrs of racing Mark learnt a few valuable lessons during his race at the Fodaxman in Brazil. Did it work, or not?

Mark chats to Charlie Pennington (AG royalty) and the Patagonman Female Champion Flora Colledge. It's a long show this one, but we're sure you'll enjoy listening all about the unique Xtri experience from two very seasoned triathletes. Enjoy.

Heather, Caroline and Mark chat about the latest news from the PTO, and how it may affect the professional triathletes in the future.

This is my first official show introducing co host Heather Wurtele (alright triathlete). This is a long show, but that's because Heather likes to chat! Actually we discuss so many good points in this episode, including addiction to training, marathon training, how to become a better swimmer and so much more. Enjoy........

Mark is really pleased to announce that Heather Wurtele will be a regular guest host on the brick session. This show is all about Heather and her awesome triathlon career, she also subjects Mark to the Canadian Quiz.

In this episode Mark is asked how to best improve bike fitness, specifically the FTP test. Mark describes, and explains how to best introduce interval training into your general training.

Heather Wurtele and Brad Culp talk Kona with a slightly less rose tinted look! Stick around for the last part of the show to hear who won the YORKSHIRE QUIZ - National pride is at stake.

A quick chat to two of the very best Age Group athletes in Kona, Neil Eddy and Ruth Purbrook.

As a parent we all want the very best for our children, but how do we know we're doing the right thing, especially when it comes to sport. Dr Josephine Perry joins the show again, this time to discuss this subject. Mark also recommends a couple of other great podcasts and adds his thoughts too. Enjoy!
