Kate Waugh won Singapore T100 on the weekend by almost 7 minutes - the biggest winning margin in T100 history so far AND she did it on debut against the likes of Ash Gentle, Julie Derron and Lucy Charles-Barclay. We talk about the race, how it played out from Kate’s perspective, her move to long course, what it’s like behind the scenes at the T100 and then we do a BIG TIME deep dive into Kate’s training she did this year from her early VO2 max/polarised block into her 6 week LT2/specific block leading into the race.

One of the great sports science & triathlon coaching minds is back on The Triathlon Hour. We talk about a lot of training topics including intensity control and how crucial it is to being your best, how important is volume in training and can doing less with more intensity/recovery be better for your training or are you better off to focus on trying to do more, peak human performance, what is Zone 2 training and how do the Norwegian's use it in their training and then we hit some quick fire questions about long running/riding, should you use super shoes in your training and should VO2 max training be a part of everyone's programs. If you love training - this podcast with Olav is for you.

In this episode we go straight into how Els trains. It's very unique. She does lots of double bike days and double/triple run days which we discuss as well as talking about her unique approach to long rides. We talk big gear riding, build rides, hill reps on the run, speed/track running, using a treadmill in your running and how Els approaches her long runs. Els gives us an entire breakdown of her weekly training structure and how she adjusts it day to day based on her coaches text messages. We discuss training based on feeling, the importance of wanting to work hard & suffer in training and deciding not to train using "modern" scientific approaches like lactate, HR, power, etc. We also have a quick chat about Els love languages.

Greg Harper is arguably the best swimmer in long course triathlon and has taken it upon himself to become swim advisor to the bad pro swimmers.

Today we talk about how he would fix Lionel Sanders & Sam Long’s swims, hear all about his own training (ride & run, mainly) and chat about our love lives.

The King joins us for the first time in over a year and we had SO much to talk about. Some big coaching changes which Hayden talks about in detail and gives a crazy amount of info on his new training program, sessions, structure, etc. We talk Ironman 70.3 World Champs, T100, Paris Olympics silver medal. All of it. Hayden also weighs in on which side he's picking in some long course beef. When I sat down and decided what I wanted my podcasts to be like in 2025, this episode is basically EXACTLY what I wanted so I can't wait for you to all listen.

The King of Zone 2 (who cares) joins us for the first time ever on The Triathlon Hour! We start the episode by getting to know Morgan a little bit, how he got offered a T100 contract, who by, when it happened, what his plans for 2025 with running, short course and T100 are, his plans for Ironman and his plans for the LA Olympics. We then go into his training and talk about how he trains, his coach Ryan Bolton and what will be needed in his training to have success over middle distance. Things then take a bit of a turn and we talk about the famous Zone 2 meme, the "who cares" meme and Morgan talks about his 2020 rivalry with Sam Long and his potential 2025 rivalry with Jelle Geens. As with everything Morgan does, this was a fun one!!!
