After an amazing performance in Bahrain, we are extremely lucky to sit down for a race debrief with Kristian Blummenfelt. Find out how his day unfolded, what going faster than any human has ever gone before felt like and what the future looks like for this triathlon superstar.

We discuss his 2020 season and what his goals are for the Olympics, 70.3 Worlds, and Super League Triathlon.

This is an incredible insight into Kristian's race and how it unfolded.

This week we discuss the upcoming Bahrain 70.3 where Kristian Blummenfelt aims to break his own World Record. We discuss Brownlee's performace in Bussleton securing his Kona slot and Jodie Stimpson racing Bahrain 70.3.

James also chats with 2012 Olympian, Stuart Hayes, who supported The Brownlee Brothers to Gold and Bronze in 2012. Stuart talks all about his career, what he has been up to since he retired and his thoughts on Alistair Brownlee's 2020 season.

This week we discuss what the hell 'Black Friday' is and why we are being inundated with ads for massage guns as well as the 'new' 70.3 to hit Australia and the way the return to Kona slots is impacting late year Iron Man fields in a good way.

We talk about recent performances at Ironman Arizona, Ironman Cozumel (we do some research into how long that swim course actually was) and Western Sydney 70.3 where James makes the huge mistake of calling some Kiwi women Australian...

Another results wrap up as we discuss the upcoming Bussleton Iron Man with Brownlee going for an early Kona spot. We look at Ash Gentle winning her first 70.3 race on debut and the recent domination of short course athletes at the middle distance. 

We discuss whether Gustav Iden should focus more on 70.3 now that he is World Champion and catch up with all things Lionel Sanders after his win at Loc Cabos 70.3

Running is probably the easiest and most painful of the three disciplines of triathlon. It is something that regardless of your age, background or sporting history you have experience with. 

This week we talk all about running with two-time Kona winner Chris McCormack. We discuss how he has always approached running, the sessions he likes and basic things we can all do to un faster.

After far too long we are back to talk all about the recent happenings in endurance sports with some potentially unpopular opinions about some of the worst performances we saw in Kona. We discuss the masterclass that is Jan Frodeno as well as the abrupt end to Super League for 2019.

We discuss the news that Lange has parted ways with his coach, Cam Wurf is aiming for Tokyo and the news that Sanders has a new (old) coach (even though we thought he already had one.)

Some incredibly impressive results recently but the standout has to be Cam Wurf's incredible performance at Ironman Italy. 3 weeks out from Kona, Wurf has shown he can run and is taking a very different approach to most other athletes leading into Kona. We discuss the Ironman Wales result as well as all the action expected in Jersey this weekend with Super League kicking off.

A flurry of World Champions on the MX Endurance Podcast as this week we are joined by the World Triathlon Series World Champion and reigning Super League Triathlon Champion, Katie Zaferes.

We talk to Katie about her amazing 2019 season and her Super League Triathlon dominance. We discuss her goals and preparation for Tokyo 2020 and potential plans to step up to middle and long distance racing in the future. Katie talks to us about what her usual training load is like and how she approaches racing and her competitors.

Katie is absolutely one to watch before the 2020 Olympics and could be strong enough to challenge Daniela Ryf when she steps up to longer course racing.

Last weekend saw 2 days of incredible racing with some extremely surprising results and some not so surprising results!

This week we talk through all the action that unfolded in Nice and what these results mean for Kona in a little less than a month.

The biggest story out of Nice was the incredible win of Norwegian athlete Gustav Iden, one of the only athletes on the course on a road bike. Gustav's break out performance has made him one of the hottest names in the sport and he joins us this week to talk all about his race in Nice!

Much like age group athletes, swimming was something that Macca struggled with throughout his career.

This week Macca talks all about swimming and passes on his knowledge so that all triathletes, regardless of their level can benefit. Chris talks about the differences in technique between swimmers and triathletes and what triathletes should focus on as well as what you should spend your time in the water doing to improve. Chris cuts through the white noise to simply state what you need to focus on to improve your swim split.

In December 2018, The 70.3 World Record was crushed by the young Norwegian athlete, Kristian Blummenfelt. Blummenfelt, who is better known for success at short course racing with some dominating performances at Super League managed a 21:36 swim, 1:56 bike and 1:06 run to crush the previous record with a 3:29:04!

This week we are extremely lucky to be joined by Kristian as he talks us through how that race unfolded, the preparation for the event and most importantly, how much faster he thinks he can go.

We discuss his plans for the future including Olympic success, Iron Man domination and not only breaking the 70.3 World Record but the Iron Man World Record as well.

Kristian also talks about the lessons that age group athletes can take from him to improve their performance as well.

This is an incredibly open and insightful conversation where you will gain a true insight into what it takes to go fast or as Kristian puts it, 'make your competitors look bad!'
