Complete Beginner to IRONMAN Wales Finisher in Less Than 1 Year! | Ep 511 Oct 16, 2024

In this video we delve into Team Oxygenaddict athlete Allun Sutherland's incredible journey from complete beginner to Ironman Wales finisher. This is genuinely one of, if not the most incredible, inspirational age-group stories we've ever had. Alan started with no experience - literally unable to swim, didn't own a bike, and couldn't run for more than a couple of minutes without needing to stop and rest. But in less than 12 months, through patience, determination, and trusting the training process, he was able to confidently deal with everything the day threw at him - including rough sea conditions, jellyfish, and bad weather. Hear Allun's firsthand account of the training process and progression of a complete beginner, mastering race-day strategies, dealing with injuries, and the importance of mental resilience. If you're new to triathlon and have your sights set on one day tackling Ironman, you'll want to tune in to hear Alan’s remarkable journey from a complete novice to an Ironman finisher at one of the toughest Ironman races in the world. A testament to what you can achieve with the right mindset!

Using Your Ironman Off-Season Wisely | Ep 508 Sep 25, 2024

In this episode, Coach Rob focuses on navigating the transition period between the end of the race season and the onset of winter training in preparation for the next year.

Including the importance of taking a break post-race season, particularly after major events like the Ironman World Championships and Ironman Wales, to reflect and recover.

Key tips include defining a clear off-season period, engaging in varied cross-training activities, beginning strength training, setting goals for the upcoming season, and gradually reintroducing structured training schedules.

The most important goal - mental and physical refreshment to prevent burnout and ensure readiness for the winter training block.

* What is / isn't allowed in transition in terms of full changes of clothes, nudity rules etc...

* The importance of flushing your wetsuit with water once you get in the sea...

* Avoiding wetsuit rub on your neck, which is often a lot more painful in a sea swim...

* Essential but non-obvious race-day kit that you may not have on your checklist...

* Sensible clothing choices for various weather possibilities...

* What to do (and not do!) during your final taper week...

* Final raceday tips & advice

Many of the topcis we cover are relevant to all IRONMAN races, not just Wales specifically. But if you're racing IRONMAN Wales this coming weekend, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

From Disappointment To IRONMAN Wales AG Win! | Ep 506 Sep 11, 2024

This week, we bring you the story of Team Oxygenaddict athlete Emma Yates who last year battled brilliantly for the win at Ironman Wales last year. We hear about the build up to the race, her race day strategy, including her nutrition and hydration approach, and get inside her mindset as she runs side by side with a great rival. We also hear about how she bounced back from the disappointment of a race earlier in the year that didn’t go as well as she had hoped - and find out what we can all learn when we treat a situation that might initially appear as a ‘failure’, and learn the lessons from it.

Perform Well in Hot Races: Simple, Safe Heat Acclimation Protocols | Ep 493 Jun 12, 2024

In this episode, hosts Coach Rob Wilby and Coach Chris Palfreyman take a deep dive into the challenge of performing in high temperatures. They explore the physiology of how our bodies react to heat during exercise, the effects of humidity, and the complex task our circulatory system performs to balance oxygen delivery and temperature regulation. In this episode, you'll hear: ☀️ Challenges of Heat: How our body generates heat during exercise, and how cooling mechanisms, particularly evaporative sweating, can be impacted by high humidity. ☀️ The Role of Blood: A discussion about how blood plays a multifaceted role, delivering oxygen to muscles, transporting heat to the skin for dissipation, and supplying the GI system for nutrient absorption. ☀️ Preparing to Race in Heat: Understanding the importance of increasing blood plasma volume to cope with heat stress and strategies to achieve this. ☀️ Heat Acclimation Training: Discussion on strategies to acclimate your body to heat through controlled exercise conditions, and why this should only involve easy workout sessions. ☀️ Sauna Protocol: Insights into the benefits of post-workout sauna sessions, the recommended duration, and crucial hydration guidelines to follow for rehydration in the hours following. ☀️ Hot Water Immersion: The benefits of hot baths post-workout, guidance on temperature, duration, and frequency, along with hydration strategies to follow for rehydration in the hours following. ☀️Assessing the Acclimation Progress: Identifying the signs that your body is acclimating to the heat, such as earlier sweat onset, increased sweat rate, a feeling of ease when exercising in heat, and mental readiness to tackle exercise in high temperatures.

Brick Runs - How Fast? How Long? How Often? | Ep 492 Jun 05, 2024

Brick runs are a hot-topic among most triathletes. There's an assumption that you need to be running for a long time and / or at a high intensity once you're off the bike in a training ride.

Not only is that not necessary, but it's most likely putting you at a hugely increased risk of injury for no added training benefit.

But more importantly - it completely misses the most important aspect of the brick run.

In this video I talk you through the exact, proven brick run training protocol we prescribe for our athletes and how to incorporate it into your own training.

Frequency, pace, intensity, duration - I'll walk you through it all to ensure you're as prepared as possible to run off the bike in your IRONMAN or 70.3.

How to Hydrate for IRONMAN with Andy Blow from Precision Fuel & Hydration | Ep 491 May 29, 2024

Do you know how much fluid you lose through sweating in an hour? How about the amount of sodium?

Sweat rates and concentration can vary hugely - from 300ml per hour to 1500ml per hour. And 200mg of sodium to 1500mg+ per hour.

Not knowing how much liquid, and what strength of electrolytes to be consuming while you're racing puts you at a very real risk of - at best underperforming, at worst a trip to the medical tent.

Why risk hundreds of hours of training for something that can be taken care of relatively easily?

Andy Blow, founder of Precison Fuel & Hydration talks us through the importance of correct, personalised hydration specifically for IRONMAN athletes.

PF&H are the new hydration partners for IRONMAN Europe, and will be providing on-course hydration at all European IRONMAN events throughout 2024.

Translating Pool Speed to the Open Water | Ep 490 May 22, 2024

In this video we talk through ways that you can swim faster in open water without necessarily having to improve your swim fitness.

Many triathletes struggle to translate their pool speed and improvements into the open water.

There are lots of different variables to consider when it comes to open water swimming vs pool swimming.

From ensuring your wetsuit helps rather than hinders your body position in the water ...

...to your ability to sight well and swim in a straight line...

...to learning how to draft effectively off of other swimmers' feet.

I also explain our top tips for drills to practice in the pool that will help get you "open water ready". Covering everything from breathing exercises to body position to maximising the power and effectiveness of your catch and pull.

I'm sure after watching this video you'll feel much better equipped as you venture into the open water for the first time in a while, and will be ready to translate those hard-earned speed gains from the pool!

The #1 MUST-DO Training Session Before Race-Day | Ep 488 May 08, 2024

Did you know almost everybody's power numbers are different outdoors when compared to indoors?

Often there's as much as a 5-10% difference, with the more "favourable" numbers from training indoors.

I've spoken to dozens - probably hundreds - of IRONMAN athletes who assumed their indoor power numbers were directly transferable to outdoor riding, resulting in them riding at too high an intensity during their bike leg, and REALLY suffering on the run as a result.

Thankfully there's a relatively straightforward way in training, to avoid this catastrophic mistake on raceday and in this video, I walk you through the what, why, how and when.

THREE Simple Tips to Avoid Overtraining | Ep 487 May 01, 2024

The "more is better" mentality is very common amongst triathletes, but often causes more problems than it solves.

If you've ever experienced the feeling of overwhelming fatigue, and "easy" training sessions feeling anything but easy, you're most likely a victim of overtraining. This video is a must watch for you!

We dive into the importance of recovery - the most overlooked and valuable aspect of a triathlete's training program, and why you simply won't make the performance gains you're capable of if you don't plan and allow yourself adequate recovery time.

We also explain how measuring your HRV (heart rate variability) helps ensure your training is focused only on what your body is capable of absorbing, and the dangers of trying to fight the signals your body is sending you.

And finally - the dreaded "GREY ZONE" of training - avoid this at all costs!

Three Nutrition & Hydration Strategies to Maximise IRONMAN & 70.3 Performance | Ep 485 Apr 17, 2024

Fuelling (hydration, electrolytes & nutrition) can so easily derail your performance on race day, even if you're in the shape of your life.

In fact for many age-group triathletes, it's an afterthought. So many people jeopardise the hundreds of hours of training they've completed by not taking care of fluid and calorie needs on race day.

Do you know your sweat rate? The amount and concentration of sweat you typically lose per hour? And how it varies in different conditions? Or how many calories & carbs you need in order to fuel yourself effectively? And can you actually absorb the amount you need without ending up in the portaloo queue?

I talk about all these things and more in this video. If you're an age-group triathlete who wants their race performance to be a great reflection of your capabilities and dedication to training, this is a MUST WATCH

How do you train to improve your swimming for Ironman and 70.3 triathlon?

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why learning to be calm and efficient can be more important than improving speed

Why runners and cyclists often struggle to translate aerobic fitness into swim speed - and what to do about it

Breathing techniques and practices to help you stay calm and relaxed in the water

How to Fuel & Hydrate for IRONMAN & 70.3 | Ep 473 Jan 24, 2024

Sports scientists Andy Blow and Emily Arrell join us from Precision Fuel and Hydration to help age group athletes understand the three key levers of performance: Hydration, Electrolytes and Fueling.

PFH have built up a bank of over 200 case studies of professional athletes competing at Ironman and 70.3 events, logging their carbohydrate, electrolyte and hydration intakes.

This bank of information is fully searchable on their website, so athletes can search for events and conditions like theirs to use as a starting point for planning their own fuel and hydration planning.

They help answer the following questions:

Why do you need electrolytes?
What are the recommendations for athletes who haven’t had a sweat test?
Should age groupers be trying to increase their carbohydrate intake, and if so, how should they go about it?
Are there any potential pitfalls?
What trends did they see in elite triathletes, and what can we take away from that?
Leon Chevalier’s progression across a two year period.

Sam Laidlow joins us back on the show to talk about his win at the 2023 Ironman World Championships. We first had Sam as a guest on the show back in 2019 when he won the Lakesman Iron distance race. Since then, he’s gone on to become one of the World’s biggest triathlon stars, finishing second in Kona in 2022, and then winning in Nice in 2023. Sam is a great example of knowing what you want - becoming Ironman World Champion has been his goal since he was a young boy, and four years before his victory, he sat down with a piece of paper and planned out what it would take to win in 2023. He’s now achieved everything on his list. So, what’s next, when you’ve achieved your life long goal by the age of twenty four? Join us in conversation with Sam as he wrestles with success and tries to work out what comes next.

Enjoy The Christmas Holidays WITHOUT Affecting Your Training Progress | Ep 468 Dec 20, 2023

In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Podcast, we're focusing on how to spend the crucial Christmas week in a way that sets you up for a healthy and recovered start to the New Year.

Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman discuss the SEEDS approach: Sleep, Eating, Exercise, Drinking, and Stress management, taking inspiration from the work of Dr. Simon Marshall.

You'll hear tips on:

Sleep: Improving sleep habits, like reducing screen time before bed, adding an extra 30 minutes of sleep per night, using sleep monitoring tools, avoiding eating close to bedtime, and including daily exercise to enhance sleep quality.
Eating: Nutrition and meal planning tips that balance healthy choices with the enjoyment of holiday treats. Learn how treats don’t always have to be chocolate and how to plan Christmas salads that are both nutritious and festive.
Exercise: Keeping active during the holidays but not making training the priority. Explore alternatives like strength and conditioning, yoga, and flexibility exercises. Understand why it's okay if pools are closed during this period.
Drinking: Guidance on limiting alcohol intake and maintaining hydration.
Stress Management: Techniques for managing stress through time outdoors, walking in nature, meditation, journaling, and using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracking to monitor stress levels.

This episode is designed to help you navigate the holiday season with a focus on health and recovery, ensuring you're ready to kick off the new year in the best shape possible for your Ironman training.

Reviewing Your Mid-Winter Training Progress | Ep 467 Dec 19, 2023

In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Podcast, Coaches Rob Wilby and Chris Palfreyman conduct an in-depth review of the first winter training block.

This episode is essential for understanding the progress made over the last eight weeks and planning ahead for continued improvement in your Ironman training.

You'll hear a comprehensive review on:

Training Session Completion: Analyzing how many of the planned sessions were completed and what your Race Ready score was over the past 8 weeks.
Pattern Learning: Understanding what training patterns worked, what didn’t, and factors like time of day, pre-planning the week, and how these affected your training.
Injury Analysis: Discussing any injuries or niggles, identifying their potential causes, and the importance of maintaining commitments to physiotherapy if injured.
The Power of Journaling: Exploring the benefits of journaling to identify causal links between external stresses (like travel, work stress, social commitments, late nights, and increased alcohol intake) and their impacts on session performance, illnesses, and injuries.
Expected Improvements After 8 Weeks: Discussing the range of improvements you can expect, such as a 5-10% increase in FTP test, a 15-30s improvement over 400m in CSS test, and a 4-8s per km increase in M-pace for the run test.
General Test Result Advice: Reminding listeners that test results are for establishing accurate training baselines and not for bragging rights. Emphasizing that swim progress may not be linear and advising on how to approach run progress and reset paces, possibly through a 5k or 10k race.

This episode is designed to help you reflect on your training, understand the progress you've made, and set the stage for the next phase of your Ironman journey.

Triathlon Training Myths BUSTED! | Ep 465 Nov 29, 2023

Coaches Rob & Chris chat through some of the most common myths they hear from athletes about their triathlon training.

By hearing 9 "triathlon myths" debunked, you'll be MUCH better equipped to improve your swimming, biking & running in the most efficient, effective way possible.

Including:

Why swimming more WON'T necessarily make you FASTER (and how to train to ACTUALLY become a faster swimmer)...
Why FAST RUNNING is the WORST thing a middle / long distance triathlete can do...
Why easy running IS NOT junk miles...
Why long, slow winter miles simply aren't necessarily...
Why MENTAL strength is important but not at the expense of PHYSICAL strength...
Why "no days with zero training" is a TERRIBLE idea (and the DIRE consequences of overlooking recovery)...
Why fasted training DOES NOT promote fat burning (and may well be doing more harm than good)...
Why you need to focus on much more than JUST POWER to achieve a faster bike split...
Why achieving a faster run split IS NOT about being a faster runner (and why your bike performance is usually to blame for poor run splits)

IRONMAN Wales: "Proving My Own Self-Worth" | Ep 464 Nov 22, 2023

This week Coach Rob chats to Team Oxygenaddict Tullia Turner about her successful full-distance debut at IRONMAN Wales.

Tullia's story is one that many listeners will resonate with, as you hear how she used triathlon as a force for good when she was in a tough place mentally.

Rob and Tullia chat about:

How Tullia's personal struggles motivated her towards IRONMAN glory...

Her challenging historical relationship with food and exercise...

How she managed her training around a busy, stressful work life as a teacher...

Adapting to training LESS but in a MORE effective way with Team Oxygenaddict compared to when she was self-coached...

Dealing with imposter syndrome and being one of a small number of female entrants...

The feeling of standing on the startline and knowing it's one of the most special moments in your life...

The importance of "protecting the second half of the run"...

The feeling of getting off the bike KNOWING you're going to be an IRONMAN...

The mental boost of passing 500+ people on the run thanks to a brilliantly executed race strategy...

Reflecting on the personal growth and immense self-pride that IRONMAN has enabled...

The importance of recovery in Tullia's progress and preparation...

The purity of a motivation like proving something to yourself rather than racing the clock or other athletes.

The Ultimate Guide to Triathlon Testing: Essential Advice for Age-Group Triathletes | Ep 463 Nov 15, 2023

In this week's episode, Coach Rob provides an invaluable step-by-step walkthrough of how, why and when to test your bike power, swim speed and run fitness throughout the year.

👉 Why accuracy in testing & results is the ONLY important consideration

👉 Why making excuses for your test results and assuming you "are capable of more" is a sure-fire way to limit your potential progress

👉 How to use test results to determine optimal training intensity and avoid overtraining, injury & junk miles

👉 Why the FTP test should be completed in the position you're going to train and race in

👉 The importance of recognising the risk factors and exponential cost of training above 100% of FTP

👉 The CSS testing protocol for swimming, what the results mean and how to use them

👉 Why sub-maximal run tests provide the best of both worlds - clear progression of run fitness, without the risk of injury

👉 Why running a short, fast race (5km, 10km) may feel good but is at best irrelevant, at worst very risky for middle and long distance triathlon training

👉 The optimal frequency for repeating your testing protocols

TEN tips to increase bike power, run speed, and swim technique this winter | Ep 462 Nov 08, 2023

This week's episode is jam-packed advice to make sure you get the most out of your winter training block.

Coach Rob gives 10 rapid-fire tips to help ensure you see an increase in your bike power, run speed and swim technique & efficiency.

Including:

👉 The critical mistake of training like a swimmer, biker & runner INSTEAD of as a TRIATHLETE, and how to avoid it...

👉 Why you're probably VASTLY overestimating how much training they can consistently complete, week after week after week and why that's SIGNIFICANTLY limiting your progress...

👉 Why avoiding injury should be your NUMBER ONE goal in training...

👉 The danger of fast / hard running in training, and why, for 99% of 70.3 & Ironman athletes it isn't necessary, and should be avoided at all costs...

👉 Why building bike power is the foundation of triathlon training, and how it DIRECTLY and SIGNIFICANTLY positively impacts run fitness...

👉 Why you won't get fitter by riding at more than 100% of FTP and why you'll IMPROVE MORE by riding at 95% than 105%of FTP...

👉 Why durability and NOT SPEED is the key to a succsesful run at 70.3 or Ironman, and how to reflect that in your training...

👉 Why swimming SLOWER is the key to becoming a FASTER swimmer...

👉 Why fully exhaling into the water leads to one of the biggest, quickest improvements in swim technique...

👉 How incorporating HRV into your training will lead to bigger improvements and better results...

👉 Why your hard work in training is completely wasted if you're not recovering properly

"I completed IRONMAN UK but was too scared to swim in a pool 6 months earlier!" | Ep 458 Nov 02, 2023

This week we’re joined by Peter Connolly, who achieved a lifelong goal when he completed IRONMAN UK this year.

This episode will really help anyone who suffers from swim anxiety, as Pete talks about the strategies he developed with Coach Chris to help move him from someone who was too anxious to even get into the swimming pool at the start of the year, to someone who confidently completed the swim in open water at Ironman UK, despite the difficult weather conditions on the day making the swim extremely difficult.

Oh, and Pete qualified for the IRONMAN World Champs in Nice as a result!

443 Fuelling, Electrolytes and Hydration for Triathlon, with Andy Blow Jun 26, 2023

A special edition of the show, helping you to work out your optimal fuelling strategy for Ironman, 70.3, Olympic and sprint distance triathlon, as well as running and cycling endurance events. We cover the science of calorie intake, electrolyte intake, and fluid intake, as well as some personal experience and stories from the endurance world, to help you work out the best plan for you. This is a conversation with Andy Blow, ex-pro triathlete, from Precision Hydration. Here are some key reading points, and links to various calculators and blog posts mentioned in the show. The 3 Levers for fueling endurance performance The 3 Levers for fueling endurance performance - This could be a good starting point as Andy outlines the 3 acute costs of taking part in endurance exercise for an athlete, namely calories burned (mainly in the form of carbohydrate), sodium and fluid. The way to learn how to ‘pull the levers’ correctly is to understand the ballpark levels of replacement that are usually needed for each one. You can further refine these levels on the basis of your own deeper knowledge of your personal requirements. Know Your Numbers How much carbohydrate do athletes need to perform at their best?This blog helps athletes 'Know Their Numbers' and pull the 'carb' lever correctly by helping them understand how much carb they should be aiming to consume per hour for their activity and for the duration they're performing. And we've created a Quick Carb Calculator for athletes to take so that they can hit those numbers during training and races Once an athlete Knows Their Numbers, they'll need to consider how they're going to get those carbs on board and which energy products are right for them - will they use real food, gels, chews, isotonic drinks, bars? The decision on the best forms of carbs for them will come down to personal preferences and will require some trial and error during training. Sponsors Like what you heard in this interview?

434 Dr. Anton Krige: The Five Performance Killers Apr 26, 2023

This week we have a brilliant special edition of the Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast with Dr Anton Krige, discussing the FIVE PERFORMANCE KILLERS that affect endurance athletes, how to identify them and what to do about them. .He gives a fascinating insight into the biggest, often unknown & unrecognised factors that affect athlete performance and health. .You'll hear:. Why sleep is just as, if not more important a focus as nutrition & diet. How poor quality and / or low quantity of sleep affects everything from blood sugar levels to cortisol production to reducing your body's adaption to training that day (i.e. negating the benefits of your training). How simple behavioural changes (such as tracking sleep and getting 15 minutes of sunlight exposure per day) can have a HUGE impact on your health and athletic performance. The scientific conscensus regarding a healthy diet, even though everybody's biochemistry is different, and the risks of cherry picked, often contradictory nutrition & dietary information available (which has been in the spotlight due to various high profile documentaries recently). Why athletes need a greater intake of protein (1.5-2g per kg of bodyweight per day), why the timing and how spread out this is throughout the day is crucial.The difference in how we absorb vitamins & minerals from animal products vs plants, and the importance of focusing on absorption rather than consumption. The importance of Vitamin B12 and the risk of permanent, irreversible nerve damage as a result of long-term deficiencies (and why B12 supplements in tablet form are virtually useless). Why Vitamin D requires activation from sunlight to be effective; the evidence that indicates higher levels of vitamin D amongst endurance athletes helps reduce infections over winter; and the need to combine Vitamin D with Vitamin K2.. Why addressing the symptoms of issues such as low testosterone levels is the wrong approach, and why identifying the root cause (often one of more of the 5 performance killers) is required.. How this affected Coach Rob and impacted his health You can find out more about Dr. Krige at his website: https://www.bestyou-functionalhealthclinic.co.uk/about.html Disclaimer: Dr Krige has stated that nothing said in the podcast should be construed as personal medical advice and is just for general information.

On this week’s episode, Coach Rob and Coach Chris answer the questions you’ve sent in over the last three weeks regarding how to improve you swim for Ironman. The questions they cover include: My swim times aren’t getting any faster - how do I deal with plateaus in my performance? I see my swim times improving in the pool but can’t translate that into faster open water times. Help! How do I best use technology (such as a Garmin watch) during a swim set? How should I use Pull buoys? When should I move to swimming in Open Water vs pool swimming Do I need to do lots of kicking drills? Should I use Fins? Should I swim with 3 stroke breathing? I had a lesson and the teacher said I should be aiming for 5 or 7 stroke breathing. Should I make my swim endurance intervals longer than 100m? My ankles are really stiff and mean I can’t do kick drills - I literally go backwards ! What shall I do? How do I overcome the fear of swimming in open water?

How do you train to improve your swimming for Ironman triathlon?

415 Chris McCormack: "Don't Underestimate the Power of a Dream" Dec 14, 2022

Chris McCormack is a man who moved seamlessly between his life as a professional triathlete (2x Kona Champion, multiple World Champion) and his new business career. As the man behind SuperLeague Triathlon, he has been pivotal in helping ‘professionalise’ the sport of triathlon, giving athletes chance to race (and make money) from short course racing outside of a traditional governing body route. It’s a series that turned triathlon into a more spectator friendly format and made short racing exciting for the general public. As one of the founders of the Pho3nix Foundation, he’s helping fund hundreds of children and young athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds to be able to achieve their potential in Olympic sport. More than that, Macca is one of the biggest fans of triathlon, and one of it’s big thinkers, and we hear his views on where he sees triathlon going next, we review the 2022 triathlon year, and talk about who will be the names to watch in 2023.

411 Age Group Story: Dr. Karim Hammad Nov 16, 2022

Dr. Karim Hammad recently competed at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St. George. A busy doctor, he’s had to learn to balance his desire to train against the realities of his job: 12 hour on-call shifts, night shifts and the challenges of unpredictable work load and lack of routine. His story involves a lot of acceptance of needing to train around ‘the way things are’ rather than ‘the way we would ideally like things to be’, and his success qualifying for the World Championships underlines the importance for all of us of putting recovery, and health, first.

410 Dave Scott: Finding Balance Nov 09, 2022

From the Archives: Dave Scott Dave Scott is already well known for his achievements - 6 time winner of Ironman Hawaii between 1980 and 1987, successful coach to champion athletes like Chrissie Wellington, Craig Alexander, Tim Don and Julie Dibens. What is less well known is his ongoing battle with depression that has, at times, left him unable to get off the couch. Dave is open and honest about the challenges he’s faced - how, despite the World regarding him as ‘The Man’, and his countless race successes, striving for perfection and falling short often left him feeling worthless. And he also shares about how, with time, he’s come to see things differently, how his children have helped him, and how, in turn, he’s managed to help other highly driven and obsessive athletes find a little more balance - as well as World Championship victories. We also hear Dave’s thoughts on the efforts of the PTO and their aim of making the sport more professional.

395 Chris Palfreyman - High Performance Kona Coaching Jul 27, 2022

Ever wondered what it takes to go from not being able to swim at all - to qualifying for Kona ? This week’s interview with Chris Palfreyman will help you understand the reality. We met Chris on our recent French training camp and immediately loved the guy. He has a great story that I think will resonate with so many of our listeners - what does it take to get to Kona, starting from zero? Chris did the work and managed to qualify - but as in so many stories, it was what he learned along the way that was the real reward, rather than actually getting to race in Kona. We’ve invited Chris to join the coaching team at Team Oxygenaddict where he’ll be running our new High Performance Program. If you’re interested, and like what you hear, get in touch!

Simon Maguire is an Age Grouper and has been a member of Team Oxygenaddict for the last two years.

380 Jan Sibbersen Apr 06, 2022

Jan Sibbersen broke the Kona swim record in 2018, recording an incredible 46.29. This is made all the more remarkable given that he was 43 years old and it was nearly 20 years since he’d retired as a professional triathlete! We hear the full story of Jan’s life, from his beginnings as an Olympic swimming hopeful, his quest to break the Kona swim record in the early 2000’s, his move into business with starting Sailfish Wetsuits, and then managing Patrick Lange, and finally, the culmination of his dream - could he make a comeback, and swim faster than ever, nearly 20 years after his competitive career had ended?

379 Richard Murray - From Cardiac Care to Podium Mar 30, 2022

Richard Murray has had one of the most decorated triathlon careers - double World Junior duathlon champion, double African Triathlon champion, multiple ITU World Series event winner, Commonwealth Games Bronze medalist, and 4th place at the Olympic games in 2016. However, 8 weeks before the 2020 Olympics (in summer 2021), things changed in an instant for Richard during a swim session where he could feel things were not right, with his heart racing and beating erratically during his warm up. He was taken immediately to hospital and subsequently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, a condition where the heart loses it’s ability to regulate how fast it beats. He underwent heart surgery in an attempt to cure the condition and be ready in time for the Olympics. This is Richard’s story, in his own words for the first time, of recovering from cardiac care and his return to health and racing.

363 Sara Svensk - from Covid hospital bed to Ironman Champion! Dec 08, 2021

Sara Svensk won Ironman Cozumel 2021 in a new Ironman-branded World Record of 8.22.:40. This would be incredible enough, but, as we’ll hear in the interview, she did this on less than four months of training! After contracting Covid in May, Sara had ongoing health problems, including heart problems that ECG indicated could have been related to a heart attack. Following 6 week of no training at all, and numerous medical investigations, she was given the all clear to return to gentle training, and, 4 months later, was able to produce that incredible performance in Mexico. I hope this interview gives hope to anyone struggling with a health condition that it is possible to return to full health and fitness!

362 Age Group Story: James Hall Dec 01, 2021

James Hall completed his first triathlon in his late 40’s, after one of his clients challenged him to enter an Etape sportif, and in his own words, he loved it. Inspired to take up swimming with a Master’s group rather than sit and watch his children train in the pool, he combined his love of swimming and cycling, added running, and set himself the goal of completing an Olympic distance race in 2019. Completing that in just under 3 hours, he was inspired to see what he was capable of with a structured training plan and coaching support. That’s where he met Team Oxygenaddict :) Despite a very busy life working in financial services in the City of London that means he’s at his desk at 6.30 every day after a 5am get-up, we learn how he fits training, and most importantly, recovery and sleep into his life, and how this has taken him to qualifying for the World Triathlon sprint championships, and completing his first middle distance races at Outlaw X and Outlaw Half Holkham.
