The Triathlon Hour

Ironman Frankfurt happened over the weekend and it was full of chaos, drama and world class performances. There were disqualifications given, then taken back. Penalties galore. Arguments between athletes/athlete teams and referees on the course. Race changing mechanicals. Cramping/shoe issues. The Norwegian hype train was back in full force and dominating on the world stage, insane bike performances and so much more. This is one of the most action packed podcast of the year so far.   We put a lot of time & energy into bringing you this podcast every week and have done for 4 years now.

Last week Sam Long undertook an intensive 5 day swim training camp ran by the best swimmer in triathlon Greg Harper. On today’s podcast both Sam & Greg join us to tell us every single detail of what happened on that camp. All I asked of them before we did the podcast was “can you try and make all of us listening feel like we were there at the camp?” and I think that’s exactly what Sam & Greg achieved in this podcast. This is the kind of podcast we’ve never really had a lot of in triathlon before and is what I’m most passionate about bringing you all. I really hope you enjoy it!
