We kick off this week’s pod with a quick (and slightly amusing) chat about “crotch-gate” at the Winter Olympics — if you’ve missed it, you’re in for a laugh.

If you’ve been tuning in regularly, you’ll already know the fundamentals of strength training for triathlon and how to get started. This episode goes a step further.

We take a deeper dive into strength training with hosts Tom and Milly, who also run Total Strength Endurance. Together, we unpack the do’s and don’ts, and highlight where athletes and coaches often go wrong when prescribing strength training for endurance athletes.

And of course… this week’s ick.

Let us know what you think 🎧

This week’s podcast features performance nutritionist and run coach Lily, who works with Kelsie (yes, our Kelsie — at NXP Coaching).

Lily is basically endurance royalty: she completed a 250km ultramarathon this year and an Ironman, which officially makes the rest of us feel like we need a nap.

She joins us to chat all things off-season nutrition — how to survive the festive food minefield without derailing your goals, which supplements are actually worth your money, and how to enjoy December without needing to enter nutritional witness protection in January.

And this week’s “ick”?

So grab your favourite mince pie (or three — we’re not judging) and tune in 🎙️✨

This week, Kelsie takes us inside her very first solo Hyrox event in Oslo. She shares her biggest learnings, top tips, and the insider insights you’ll want if you’re gearing up for your own Hyrox debut this winter.

This week, we’re joined by Laura Bardsley, fresh from competing at the final women’s-only World Championships in Kona! 🏖️🔥

Laura shares her perspective — alongside insights from the rest of our podcast hosts — as we dive into the newly introduced IRONMAN qualification system: the good, the bad, and the downright controversial.

As lifelong triathlon enthusiasts, we all share a deep passion for the sport and a commitment to helping it grow with fairness, equality, and opportunity for all athletes. 💪✨

We are back after their end-of-season break!

We’re kicking things off with a special episode — a full rundown of host Bex’s journey to slaying the dragon at her first Ironman!

If you’re thinking about entering this race (or already have 👀), this one’s packed with top tips and real talk on what it takes to tackle one of the toughest courses out there.

Plus… this week’s ICK is race-specific — and it’s BAD. 😬

Tune in 

Our amazing host Milly only went and became an IRONMAN this month in Copenhagen! 💪🔥 Her very first full distance, and she absolutely smashed it — inspiring so many of you along the way with her grit, determination, and that unstoppable smile.

In this episode we spill all the details — the highs, the lows, the surprises on race day — plus Milly’s best tips for anyone eyeing up Copenhagen 2026.

Thinking about doing an Ironman yourself? Tune in… this one’s packed with real talk, laughs, and the kind of know-how you’ll be glad you heard before pressing that enter button.

We've been a little quiet lately... because like true age groupers, we've been juggling the madness of life, work, and training behind the scenes. 

But we're back and this week's episode is packed! We're sharing some of our latest racing and training highs (and some pretty big lows), plus a few hilarious triathlon ick's we know you'll relate too. 

In this episode we look to break down the basics of training zones, how they should feel, other terms different coaches may use for the same zone/pace and how to understand them and more importantly utilise them to get the most out of your training. 

Join us this week as we share our tips and tricks for travelling and racing abroad. It can be daunting, but get it right and it'll be the best experience you could have with your bike! 

Including an Ick that we all agree on...

We hope this helps you enjoy racing in the sun!

Remember when "feel for the effort" meant actually listening to your body - not your Garmin barking orders on your pace mid run? 

This week we're asking the big one: 

Is performance tech helping us, or hijacking our human side?
