Simon Lessing truly is a Triathlon Legend. Before we had Gomez, Frodeno, or the Brownlee Brothers, we had this man. If you ever debate who is the greatest of all time Triathlete, his name must be in the conversation.
Hailing from the shores of Cape Town, racing for Britain, and dominating the European and world circuits, his legacy is so remarkable that it has inspired a generation of triathletes.
With five ITU World Championship titles, Nice long distance, a string of Ironman 70.3 victories, and a record-breaking performance at Ironman Lake Placid, wins at big nondrafting classics at Chicago and Alcatraz, and his domination of the French Iron Tour, his excellence in the sport is unquestioned.
Beyond the race courses, his influence continues to shape the future of triathlon through his coaching endeavors. He was appointed an MBE in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to triathlon.
When I look back at my career as an athlete, few have had this man's impact and sheer dominance.

Dan Lorang is one of the all-time greatest performance coaches in the world. His results speak for themselves. Both with the Men and women Kona Ironman World Champions, Grand Tour Cycling Champions, and the list goes on.
He’s a familiar voice to the show, having shared his insights with us back 2 years ago on, September 21st, 2021, and even before that on August 3rd, 2020. If you missed those, you really need to go back and have a listen. His episodes are some of the most downloaded and most requested of the 200+ I’ve recorded.
He’s the Head of Performance for the Bora-Hansgrohe Cycling team and the strategic genius behind the world's greatest triathletes. Under his guidance, athletes have reached pinnacle moments in their careers - we're talking about Jai Hindley, the Aussie who won the Giro d’Italia in 2022, Kona Ironman world champion, Anne Haug, who has dominated the rankings as the World's number one female triathlete for two years running, the incredible Lucy Charles-Barclay, who just shattered records at the Kona Ironman World Championships, and of course, the legend himself, 3 time Kona Ironman world champion and Olympic Gold medalist, Jan Frodeno, whose list of accomplishments could fill an entire podcast episode.

Alright... Today's guest is a regular on the show. He’s one of the worlds leading sports physiologists and coaches. Normally we are either discussing his work on Heart Rate Variability, Heat acclimatisation. Low-carb fueling, or his athletes winning major events including Olympic Gold medals, the Americas Cup or Kona Ironman World Title.
And Sure, we will touch on all the above. But the main reason I have this man on the show today is to celebrate his extraordinary performance at Ironman California, where he smashed the 8-hour mark with a jaw-dropping 7.56-hour - dominating the age-group competition. And wow, has he stirred up some conversations around the Triathlon world.
On top of all of that he’s the brain behind EndureIQ, where he turns science into actionable training plans, and let’s be honest, the triathlon world perks up whenever he has something to say.
He’s one of my all time favorites I’ve had the pleasure of having on the show.

Lucy Charles-Barclay needs little introduction. From four second-place finishes to a wire-to-wire win and with a shattering 8hr .24min course record at the Kona Ironman World Championships, her journey has been nothing short of legendary.
Her resilience, grit, and sheer force of will have propelled her to the pinnacle of the sport. She won the Ironman 70.3 World Championships 2 years ago in one of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen, then the World Triathlon Long Distance World Championships last year, and now, the final jewel to her triathlon crown: in what I believe to be one of the most outstanding performances ever in our sports history, the Kona Ironman World Championship.

Alright, today's guest is a legend in the world of Triathlon.. An Australian prodigy who made waves early in her career, clinching silver at the Junior World Championships in both 2007 and 2008. And then she struck gold at the junior world champs in Budapest in 2010 and went on to win her first ITU World Cup the following year. For the past decade, she's been a fixture at the pointy end of the sport, taking home titles like the World Triathlon Grand Final in 2018 right on home turf on the Gold Coast. She's a dual Olympian, representing Australia in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021, and she's won the holy grail of Australian Triathlon, The Noosa Multi-sport festival Triathlon 9 times… going for 10 in a couple of weeks.
Two years ago, she pivoted to middle-distance and crushed it. Out of five PTO Championships she’s won 3 and finished 2nd twice. Add to that she’s won or been on the podium nearly every race she’s started the past two years. An incredible transition up in distance. She’s been sitting at world number one for most of the year. Just this week, she slid to the second spot, but let's be honest, when you're at that altitude, it's all the same.
Off the track, she's no less remarkable. Recently married to Josh Amberger, another incredible triathlete who was just on the show a few weeks back, they are the power couple redefining relationship goals in the world of triathlon.

Alright, today's guest is a powerhouse in the world of triathlon and endurance sports. Not only has she etched her name in the history books of the sport with titles like the IM 70.3 World Champion and three-time Xterra World Champion, but she's also a British Olympian and multiple Commonwealth Games athlete, and add to that her 3rd place finish at the iconic Ironman World Championships in Kona.
After years of competing at the highest level, she's now sharing her wealth of knowledge with the next generation of athletes as a respected coach.
Based out of the triathlon mecca of Boulder, Colorado, she's been sculpting winners, for many years now.
A long time friend, and it’s been too long.

Alright... today's guest is one of the best men I know. His accomplishments in the triathlon world are remarkable! He's an IRONMAN machine, holding an ITU Long Distance World Champion title, boasting numerous podium finishes at the Kona Ironman World Championships, and loads of Ironman and Ironman 70.3 victories.
He’s come back from a near fatal heart attack in 2021, known as the widow maker and shown the world what sheer grit and determination really is.
But beyond these accolades, he's been a great mate of mine for over 15 years. We've shared laughs, bottles of wine, and memories from some legendary parties we’ve thrown.
Beyond the athlete, he's a remarkable husband and father, who brings as much passion to his family life as he does to the racecourse.
It’s been over a year since I’ve had him on the show and I thought we should check in and see what he’s been up to. It's always a treat having him on.

Alright, today's guest is an iconic figure in the Triathlon world, having been a professional for over a decade. But I feel like I’ve known him for well over two decades… he’s been around for what seems like a long time.
He has a variety of accolades that make him stand out in the field. Notably, the 2017 IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Champion which he won in front of a star studded field, add to that he’s an 11x IRONMAN 70.3 Champion.
He's known for being the fastest swimmer on the circuit for the past 10+ years, and let's not forget, he claims to have "the best haircut in the sport."
But beyond his athletic prowess, he's a character—a fan of death metal, films about war, and known for his sense of humor.
He’s a good mate, and we’ve battled on the race course many times.
His wife Ashleigh Gentle, current world number 1 ranked athlete on the PTO ranking was on the show two years ago.

Alright, today's guest is an Aussie legend. He represented Australia in five Paralympic Games from 1992 to 2008, bagging two gold and a silver medal along the way. His journey wasn't easy; he's overcome challenges that most of us can't fathom. And if that's not enough, he recently completed the Ultra Trail Marathon World Series final at Mont Blanc. A remarkable achievement for anyone, let alone an amputee.
Today, we're going to dive deep into his incredible journey.
