Episode 59 Ironman Talk - 8th of May 2007
Gordo on Power
We have an amazing interview with Gordo Byrn on the subject of Power. He covers all the question that you want answered on this topic. Gordo is one of the best thinkers in the world of Ironman triathlon. Instead of me writing up a piece on him I’ve taken his own write up from his coaching page on this website, www.gordoworld.com It gives you some insight into his thinking as a coach. Here it is:
Following five years of general endurance training, I completed my first Ironman in 1999 (11:06). Since that time, I’ve completed fifteen Ironmans and won the Ultraman World Championships. The most satisfying aspect of my recent race performance has been the consistency of results (my last six Ironmans all being completed under 9 hours).
I have three things that I believe are essential to making progress in athletics: consistency, recovery and the right mental attitude. I believe very strongly that the last item in that list is by far the most important. I do a lot of work training my mind. The next most important is recovery. About half of the long distance athletes I know spend their lives on the edge of, or slightly over, the overtraining abyss. I believe this is the most overlooked aspect of superior performance. Finally, I believe that consistent work, rather than hard work, is what reaps the most dividends. I work with no more than six athletes at a time. This ensures that every athlete on my roster gets a large “share of mind”.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of athletes (men, women, elites, agegroupers). I’ve found that I am most effective with athletes that are able to train alongside me (personally or at Epic Camps).
I’ve been fortunate to train and study under the leading coaches in our sport – Scott Molina, John Hellemans, Dave Scott and Joe Friel. My personal coaching philosophy is a synthesis of their experience as well as my own triathlon career (eight years and counting).
There is no easy way,
gordo
Thanks Gordo for another great interview! You’re a legend. Good luck for Canada.
Episode 60 Ironman Talk - 15th of May 2007

Lots of results: Double IM in Dubai, St Croix 70.3, Wildflower, first 101, Nappa half. Up coming races: Lanzarote. Go our Druggie Fegan! John gives us a report from the camp he ran in Poland. There’s some good insight into training in Poland.
Hot topic: We want to know what triathlon forum you think is the best one out there. Back it up with 3 reasons why. If you want to add a comment click here: add comment then open the discussion.
Age grouper of the week: Steve Hatton from Olympia, Washington has taken it out this week. He managed to beat his PB by 15mins at the Nappa Half. The reason he is our age grouper of the week is because John, his coach, told him to hold back on the swim and bike. He came off the bike 6mins slower than last year but managed to run 20mins faster! It was a great display of trusting your plan. Well done Steve.
High 5 for long haul travel tips:
1. Get an isle seat.
2. Say something to the person next to you when you get on the flight.
3. When you get on the flight switch to local time where you are going. Stay awake or go to sleep, pills are ok.
4. Take a drink bottle (empty) and energy drink powder in hand luggage.
5. Don’t be afraid to ask for extra food. John’s tip - always ask different hostesses
