Episode Notes

So much of what we see in marketing and social media presents us with a glossy, carefully choreographed image. IRONMAN finish lines, rides in the mountains, sunset runs across trails. But the reality can often be very different. I

n this week's episode I look at some of the hard truths of triathlon. These can be hard to stomach, but it's important to know what the day to day routine of training, pressure of race day and the reality of what money can help you achieve in the sport.

At the end of the episode I also cover some hidden truths of triathlon, the benefits of swim bike and run that I don't think are celebrated enough.
