Zwift PowerUp Tri Podcast

How do we judge athletes over time? Are "World Records" the best way? The most wins? We asked one of the greatest of all time, Mark Allen, to explore the topic. With 6 Kona wins and multiple World Championship titles over various distances and a record-setting 21-race winning streak—he knows what it takes to be the best. Plus: Jordan and Matt talk shop with Mark about triathlon and see what makes him tick.

Staying motivated to train hard every year can be challenging, but when you’re a professional, it’s necessary.

2014 Ironman World Champion, two-time 70.3 World Champion, and three-time European Champion Sebastian Kienle knows a thing or two about this.

In Episode 6, he dives into the demands of staying motivated and goal-setting when you’ve already been on the top. Jordan and Matt also give an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into the creation of the new Watopia expansion and discuss the latest wetsuit brand creating waves.

Can you be a successful athlete while maintaining a healthy social life?

 

In Episode 5, IRONMAN record holder and World Championship podium finisher Heather

Jackson chats with Matt and Jordan about her sports background before diving into the question

of the day.

 

As always, Jordan gets into the latest and greatest tri tech and we also debate how

many pillows it takes to truly be comfortable before a big race.

6x IRONMAN Champion Ben Hoffman joins Matt and Jordan in Episode 4.

 

They dive deep into the business side of triathlons and how pros can make a sustainable career out of it.

 

Between sponsorships, networking, and social media, they cover it all.

It’s a crossover episode!

Greg Henderson of the Power Up Cycling podcast visits Matt and Jordan to talk training differences between cycling and triathlon.

A cycling perspective can help triathletes tackle typical weaknesses on the bike.

In this episode, 2016 Ironman 70.3 World Champion Holly Lawrence joins Matt and Jordan to talk training, racing, life, injury, dietary habits, doping accusations, and everything in between. Episode 2’s key topic dives into nutrition, from carbo-loading with sweets to whether leaner is better in the world of tri.

Joining Matt and Jordan is Linsey Corbin who will lend her expert knowledge on the topic of how to do off-season right. Matt, Jordan, and Linsey tackle the tough topic of knowing when to shut it off and give your body rest, but actually resting and not just posting about #offseason on social media.
