A huge episode this week as we needed to discuss that post that Sam Laidlow put up about a possible ITA investigation into him. We unpack all of what has been said publicly to try and make what is a confusing situation as easy as possible to understand.

Don't worry, we keep the hottest takes for the patreon bonus episode!

We are also joined by Kate Waugh and Max Stapley. 2 incredibly talented young triathletes from the UK. Kate is the 2023 Super League Triathlon champion and we discuss the state of short course racing, doping in triathlon and why they are jealous of middle and long distance athletes.

Macca is back to talk us through one of the most anticipated races this year, Jan Frodeno v Gustav Iden later this month in California.

Will Jan reclaim his world number 1 ranking? Will he break the official Ironman world record? Will he prove that he is still the benchmark of long distance racing? Or will we see the dawn of a new era with Gustav Iden proving why he is the world number 1? 

It will be a big ask at his first ever IM distance event but whatever happens it is sure to be a race you won't want to miss!

This week we are joined by Annie Emmerson to determine once and for all who the greatest of all time are! With so many incredible athletes to choose from who will come out on top? Will it be Daniela Ryf who has dominated long course racing for what feels like forever or maybe Chrissie Wellington who came onto the scene, made a statement and then vanished?

We also look at all the action from Iron Man Tulsa where Daniela Ryf dominated and Patrick Lange returned to the top of the podium. We go through all the action from Lisbon and discuss what Kristian Blummenfelt's incredible form will mean for a little race in Tokyo later this year.

St George 70.3 might have shown us one of the closest finishes of recent times between Sam Long and Lionel Sanders. To add even more fuel to the fire was the confusion around Danish athlete, Daniel Bækkegård who was eventually DQ'd for not serving a penalty.

We are joined by Daniel this week to get the inside scoop on exactly what happened, discuss his career including 'that' finish line stomp and what we can expect to see from him in the future.

We talk about the St George 70.3 race, just how good Daniela Ryf is as well as some issues the Iron Cowboy is having with IronMan Triathlon!

On the list of things that get better with age you wouldn't probably put triathletes but Jan Frodeno is proving that age is but a number after a commanding performance over the weekend leaving us to wonder, is there anyone who can beat him?

To tackle such a big question we thought we should bring in the big guns so Macca joins us this week to give us his thoughts on whether anyone can beat the German powerhouse and if so how.

We also preview this weekend's St George 70.3, talk about Ironman taking away the swim and Daniela Ryf leaving her coach.

Adam Hansen is back again to talk all about innovation in sport as he talks us through exactly what is going on with the bike that he is building for himself and why it is going to be unlike anything we ever seen.

Adam then turns his attention the upcoming Sub7Sub8 Project by the Pho3nix Foundation and goes through just how hard a 180km TTT is going to be. Adam's extensive experience in the pro peloton gives us an insight into what the project is going to take, what will be needed to succeed and why the physical challenge might not be as hard as the mental challenge.

We discuss her incredible performances at both the Arena Games and her 5km run and find out just why people shouldn't be surprised.

A news packed episode this week with so much to talk about including the Super League Arena Games, Ironman New Zealand, Geelong 70.3 and a look at the recent Tokyo qualification of Chris Thompson, an On sponsored athlete who wore a blacked out pair of Nike's with permission from On.

This makes us ask the question, if every athlete is choosing to wear the Nike super shoes why would they ever sponsor an athlete again? Almost every pro athlete in any race now uses Nike if they are sponsored or not. So will we see an end to athlete sponsorship for shoes or will other brands catch up?

Fresh of her win at Challenge Miami, two time Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist joins us this week to talk about her impressive result at Challenge Miami.

We talk about Jodie's race in Miami, her thoughts on this new format and distance of racing and what we can expect to see of her this year. We also talk her about the highs and lows of her career including her many ITU wins, stepping up to long course and not getting to compete at the Olympics.

We also do a debrief on both the men's and women's races at Challenge Miami, where half of the hosts picked the male podium and the other half... didn't. We look at Jan Frodeno's masterclass and try to unravel the mystery, 'how does Lionel run so fast while looking so bad?'

With the introduction of Super League Triathlon, the PTO attempted to make long course triathlon exciting and the announcement of the sub7/8 project, there is lots of triathlon coming to your screen. The question that needs to be asked though, is can triathlon work on TV?

This week we are joined by the SLT commentary team to find out what they think needs to be done to make triathlon work on tv. What is being done right, what needs to be improved and how we can make the sport we all love more successful.

Behind every great athlete there is a strong network of support and it just so happens that behind many of the world's best athletes is one super coach!

Joel Filliol is one of the most successful coaches in triathlon with Olympic medals, world championships and just about everything in between. Joel works with athletes like Vincent Luis, Mario Mola, Jake Birtwhistle and Katie Zaferes. We sat down with Joel and find out how he got into coaching, what he has learned from other athletes and coaches and what all of this uncertainty means for athletes around the world. A really insightful conversation with someone so integral to the highest performers in triathlon.

This week we turn our attention towards what we can expect to see in 2021 in triathlon.

Will the Olympics happen? Who will win? What about the 70.3 and Ironman World Championships? Can we finally see a return to long course championship racing or are we going to have to wait until 2022? What will this mean for athletes like Tim O'Donell, Jan Frodeno and even Daniella Ryf? We give our picks for the Kona, 70.3 and Olympic podiums and our thoughts on the chances of all of these races happening.

2020 saw the introduction of the Professional Triathletes Organisation and their first event, the PTO Championship in Daytona. It also saw lots of people asking the same questions about the PTO. What are they? What is their business model? How do they plan to make money? Why don't they get along with Ironman? 

This week we are joined by the CEO of the PTO, Sam Renouf to answer all of your questions about the PTO. Sam was incredibly open, honest and candid with his answers to all of your questions.

It finally happened!

The inaugural PTO Championship took place in Daytona and this week we do a deep dive into every aspect of the event.

Did the production live up to the hype? Did we see a war between the long and short course athletes? Did James pick anyone correct last week?

We give our thoughts, feedback, things we loved and what we think can be improved at this new and exciting racing format. We geek out about some of the biggest names in the sport racing and give you our recap of exactly how the action unfolded.

This week we take a trip to Norway to discuss one of the most iconic triathlons on the planet.

The Norseman Xtreme Triathlon is one of the toughest races on the planet to not only complete but to enter with thousands of people annually applying for less than 300 slots. Dag Oliver, General Manager of the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon joins us to tell us all about the race, it's history, it's future and why so many people want to do it. 

We are also joined again this week by Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt to talk about the significance of this race to Norway and if they ever plan to do it.

Lots to unpack this week with the news that Daniela Ryf has done a 'Lionel' and is out injured, endurance sports tv is crowdfunding and the PTO is supporting even more races.

We also saw a number of races happen around the world with some of the biggest names in the sport lining up in Cairns for the Asia-Pacific Championship. We round-up all the professional racing then turn our eye to the age group race.

199 age group finishers competed for 75 Kona slots in Cairns and the internet has done what the internet does. This makes us ask the question? Is this the end of Kona? What do we mean? We mean, does this change people's opinions of racing Kona? Is it about getting the strongest field possible to line up or as many athletes on the pier as possible?

Long course triathlon has been dominated by Jan Frodeno and Daniela Ryf in recent years. So much so that most of their competition have admitted that they don't even think they can beat them!

Does this mean that Jan and Dani have beaten their competitors before the race has even begun? Who or what will it take for someone to stand up to their dominance and not be afraid? Who if anyone can beat them?

To discuss this we are joined by Macca to get his insights into the who, what and why of this question.

In recent years it has been complete German domination at long course racing and a big part of the success of Germany is multiple World Champion, Sebastian Kienle.

This week we are extremely lucky to be joined by 2014 Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle. Sebi is one of the biggest names in the sport and part of the fabric of long distance racing.

This week we discuss the impact of 2020, the emergence of the PTO, Lionel Sanders and how at 36 his desire to improve and become a better athlete is stronger than ever.

No one is more dialled in to the changing dynamic of the triathlon world than the Kona winner and uber-biker who is now looking for a new edge to take to the competition.

What a weekend of triathlon with Iron Man, 70.3, XTERRA and even a little ITU World Championship all happening.

We round up the all the racing that happened over the weekend including all of the action from the ITU World Championship. We also look at the PTO supported Helvellyn Triathlon.

All of the racing action, coverage and lack thereof raises the question whether Iron Man is critical to the future success of triathlon? Would Kona still be as iconic if it wasn't called an Iron Man?

You have probably heard that Super League is triathlon done differently and that was certainly the case on the weekend at the SLT Arena Games.

The Arena games saw athletes compete in both the real and virtual world with swims in a pool, riding and running on Zwift. This new format for triathlon was created out of necessity but was it exciting enough to stick around?

MX Endurance gives you the definitive post-race round up as we are joined by Macca to discuss the event as well as interviews with both winners, Jess Learmonth and Justus Nieschlag.

Be careful because these takes might be too hot to handle. We also discuss positive signs that the PTO Daytona event may happen, the recent 5000m world record and preview this weekend's SLT Arena Games.

With no Kona this year or much racing at all, we look to the future to try and work out who we think will be the next new Kona champions. Who will be the next male and female athletes to win Kona who have never won Kona before?

Will it be crowd favourite Lionel Sanders or will his second place be his best effort? Can Lucy Charles-Barclay put together a performance good enough to beat Daniela Ryf? Or do we need to look further into the future at up and coming stars like Kristian Blummenfelt or Ashleigh Gentle?

We also discuss the announcement of Taupo 2022 for 70.3 World Championships, the return of professional cycling and Joe Skipper's crazy 12-hour record

This week we are joined by John McAvoy, a former armed robber and one of Britain’s most wanted men.

Born into a crime family, he’s had two spells in prison and ultimately found redemption through the power of sport. Given two life sentences and given assurances by the justice system that he’d never change and always be a danger to society John started his stay in one of Britain’s highest security prisons.

John’s story is fascinating for so many reasons, but ultimately because it highlights the importance and power of sport and the power of opportunity - the difference between having it or not.

Few athlete have have had as big an impact on the sport of triathlon as Chrissie Wellington. A 4-time Kona champion, Chrissie is the fastest woman to ever complete an IronMan distance event and has 5 of the fastest ever recorded results out of the all-time top 10.

As quick as she raced, she came and went retiring in 2011 undefeated at the IronMan distance after one of the toughest Kona victories by any competitor on the big island. This interesting conversation focuses on how triathlon changed Chrissie as a person, the impact it has had on her life and the what the pressure of being undefeated was like.

This week we are extremely lucky to be joined by Emma Frodeno (Snowsill), Australia’s only Olympic triathlon gold medalist, Commonwealth gold medalist, and three time world champion.
