This week on the podcast, it's a re-broadcast of a podcast episode with Triathlon Taren on the Run Smarter Podcast, hosted by Brodie Sharpe. They talk about how to go from running to the three disciplines of triathlon.
Patrick Lemieux is a sports agent in triathlon, representing athletes such as Lionel Sanders, after learning the ropes with former-triathlete-turned-marathon-runner Gwen Jorgensen (who is also his wife!) He talks about what athletes need to do to not only get sponsored, but to get an agent of their own, as well as some of the lesser-known situations faced by the pros trying to make a living in the sport (and how difficult Ironman has made things on athletes.)
Jimmy Kennedy is a PhD Candidate and a Senior Scientist at InsideTracker. On the podcast we talk about identifying overtraining in endurance athletes, and what can be done about it. He also talks about some of the biggest things triathletes need to be aware of that are going on in their bodies.
Two-time IRONMAN World Champion and multi-time ITU champ Chris McCormack may be retired from racing, but he's still a big player in the triathlon industry. Co-founder of Super League Triathlon, he's also the Managing Director of the Bahrain Endurance team, among many other projects he's involved in. He believes a change needs to come to triathlon, and he's one of the people leading the charge.
It's the 200th episode of the Triathlon Taren podcast! We're celebrating the past four years of podcast episodes. We talk about how we got started, and some of our favourite interviews and memories (including clips from our chats with Lucy Charles-Barclay, Tim Don, Patrick Lange, Gustav Eden, Ben Hoffman and more).
Mandy Marquardt is a professional Sprint track cyclist, and she lives with Type 1 Diabetes. She competes on Team Novo Nordisk, an all-diabetic professional cycling team. On the podcast, we talk about being diagnosed at age 16, how she's been able to compete at a high level, and what it's like to manage her food intake as a competitive professional athlete with diabetes.
Running injuries. There's nothing that takes the joy out of training and racing than running injuries. On the podcast today, we talk to a run training expert, Brodie Sharp (host of the Run Smarter Podcast), and talk all about the most common causes of running injuries and how to prevent them!
Emma Carney was one of the top female triathletes of all time, winning absolutely everything, until a cardiac arrest took her out of competition. Retired from racing, and now a coach, she has written a book talking about her win-at-all-costs attitude, and what she teaches her athletes today.
One of the top cyclists in triathlon, Andrew "Starky" Starykowicz has spent the past year and a half fighting IRONMAN over a punishment for "doping" due to medication he was given when he was in hospital with a dangerous lung infection that was preventing him from breathing. We talk about his battle with IRONMAN, training during the pandemic, and racing at Challenge Miami next week.
Dylan Johnson is a professional cyclist who has a popular YouTube channel where he digs into the science behind training methods, supplements, and many other popular beliefs in endurance sports. We talk about what he's found to really work, and what's not worth the time (eg: stretching, does it work or is it a waste?)
