This weeks discussion: Given the growth of Ironman races, especially in Nth America, is it a good idea to have WTC “Ironman” races that don’t have Kona slots. Would you still turn up? If you want to add a comment click here: add comment then open the discussion.
Age grouper of the week: Here’s what the BBC wrote about this weeks age grouper: Jamie Andrew. Jamie Andrew swam more than two miles, cycled 112 miles and ran a marathon in just under 24 hours. The 37-year old from Edinburgh, dubbed "Titanium Man" because of his prosthetic legs, hopes the challenge will raise £50,000. It is in aid of the 500 miles charity, which he has launched with fellow quadruple amputee Olivia Giles. The Iron Man triathlon is considered one of the toughest feats of athletic endurance for able-bodied athletes.It started with a dawn dip in Loch Tay, followed by a cycle from Kenmore to Falkirk, and finished with a 26.2 mile run down the Union Canal to Edinburgh.Project funding Mr Andrew began the gruelling event at about 0600 BST on Saturday and completed the challenge the following morning. He lost his hands and feet following a climbing expedition in the French Alps in 1999 in which his friend, Jamie Fisher, died. Here’s his Charities: 500 miles High 5 Robert Ritchie sent through this weeks
High 5: The importance of getting early treatment for injuries.There’s some great insight here. Thanks Robert. 1. Early treatment will prevent more serious complications. 2. It will be cheaper to get treated straight up 3. Less lost training time while you recover. 4. Make sure the treatment provider is experienced in sports injuries. 5. Try and get and accept some advice on prevention. (Eg stretching)

Comes from an Ultra-running background (Celtic Cup 50km winner 2006. 3x London to Brighton 55miler winner 2005) 41 Years old. Swim 59:53, Bike 6:07, Run 2:58 (Ran 1:37 for the first half then realised he was going too slow so put in a 1:21 for the second half...!!!)

1. how long have you been working with triathletes?
2. Have you seen many changes in the way athletes train specifically with their running over the years.
3. Running drills
a. Why should we do them and what are we trying to achieve
b. Are they important for ironman athletes or just ‘fast’ runners
c. How often should we do drills
d. Should they be done all year round
4. Running styles. There’s a big difference between sprinters, middle distance runners and ironmen. In your opinion ironman athletes try to “run” or shuffle economically.

6. For non coaches athletes how can they asses their technique

a. Is it suitable for ironman athletes

I would like to put forward Fiona Boxall for age grouper of the week. She raced Ironman Switzerland and finished 16th in the 35-39 age group in her first Ironman, 12hr44mins. An amazing performance for her first venture into the long races!!!!! Cheers Ian
High 5
Five random things John picked up from a recent talk by by Ken Ravizza
1. It’s good to have crap days – you can learn a lot more from crap days than when you are “in the zone”.
2. Back Briefing (feedback) always ask yourself what you got out of a session/race
3. “Be big” on race day. Physical presence and how you carry yourself can help your state of mind and intimidate others (baseball example)
4. Only train when you are “ready” (gate example)
5. Focus on the process of engaging in the activity rather than the outcomes of your performance
Coach’s Corner: John has an interview with David Watt from Skins, a compression clothing company.
Here’s what they cover:
- background of skins
- the science of compression garments
o use of skins for training v’s recovery
o travel

o go through the range (not just tights)
- where you can buy
- any other upcoming product developments

Age grouper of the week: Jack Lynch sent through this weeks age grouper. Check out his email: I've a nomination for AG of the week from the Kenmare Half. His name is Liam Dolan, a 26yr old from the Setanta triathlon club in Dundalk. There's a great bunch of lads up there who all listen to the show and I know Liam is a big fan as he's always slagging me about getting mentioned. He has only been in triathlon 2 years but has already gained a bit of a reputation for his awesome bike splits. Indeed I missed a trick in not nominating him earlier this year when he finished 10th at Half IM UK where he was the first non-pro finisher. He finished 4th in Kenmare despite cracking the headset area of his frame after hitting a pothole and noticing that the steering was "a little bit funny". His real strength though is being able to control himself on the bike so that he can run really well off it - he had the fastest run in Kenmare with a 1:18 on a really hilly course, managing to outrun (just) some guys who can run 31min 10k oly splits (versus his normal 36-37min runs). On the downside - he has been known to remark that Ironman is for "30 somethings who are going through a mid life crisis" - though I know he secretly wants to do one soon
So that's my case for Liam!
Please keep up the great work with the show!
Thanks,
Jack

We moved house to Dorset approx 8 miles from the venue of Ironman UK two weeks before so his ironman training including unpacking furniture! The day before the event he fell off his bike and bruised his hip and took a few layers of skin off his shoulder and elbow .... looked very sore. But his bike was OK!!!!
Ed soldiered on and in true PIRATE spirit he peeled on his wetsuit and faced the Ironman! This was only his fourth ever triathlon race after a sprint, an olympic and a half ironman distance... here it was his first attempt at Ironman (he wants a tattoo badly!)
He finished in 11 hours and 6 minutes and smiled the whole way round and stayed upright on his bike! He crossed the finish line with our dog Jack who supported him all the way round and joined in the cheering at the finish line with a few woofs!! I was very proud of his 190th position out of approx 1600 competitors WOW not bad for a first one eh????!!!!
So here I give you ED HAWKINS of the UK.......Age grouper of the week (Pleeeeeease!!) Respect guys .... your podcasts have kept him going on those long sessions

She has been working her ass off training for this ironman and ended up being the first women! This was her first ironman distance race and she got first place! Unbelievable! I mean this was no Hawaii or Ironman sanction event but, hard work is hard work. And she did awesome. (and she's an ironman listener)
High 5: How to look after your eyes
1. UV Protection – in NZ all sunglasses must have higher than 98% UV protection but overseas ?? – some optoms have a machine to measure UV & infa red
2. Lubricating drops – your eyes can become dry in some conditions (very dehydrated, dry conditions etc), use preservative free eye drops (more expensive but worth it).
3. Always have an eye exam every 2 years especially if you are over 45 (why? Because over the age of 45 higher risk of glaucoma (silently robs your sight)
4. Contact lenses – be careful when swimming because it’s easier for bacteria to grow in the matrix of the contact lens material more so than the human eye (clean lenses as told by optom)
5. If you have sight issues you can get prescription swimming goggles (and good glasses for that matter eg Oakley with Transition lenses)

Age grouper of the week: PIOTR KURYLO, our Forrest Gump!
He ran from Augustow to Athens.... And it took him about 6 weeks to go there. And it is not less than 2450km... He took a couple of days rest and participated in the Spartathlon 2007 race at a distance of 245km... Completed 2nd at 24h29min....
He started his trip to Greece with only 600 EUR for the whole "race". Due to some turistic targets he made aprox. 3500km going to Athens. Having so small amount of money he had to eat only bread and milk... All his luggage was with him on a trolley he was pulling all the way there. After reaching Greece he went to the mountains for a 10 days altitude training.... Just shortly before the race went down to the competition place, entering the hotel with long bead and hair. Not clean at all. But as he said my apparence just confused competitors and I smashed them physically...
As you know he was the second beating his PB by 7hours!!!! After the race when he heard that current winner (2 times) is willing to make it 3rd time, he said: I am afraid it will be difficult for him...
When you are here next time I will show you some photos and there will be probably a chance to have a run with him.
Oh, I forgot about his plan for the rest of the season:
- 100km in Egypt
- Race from Augustow to Brussels (1200km)...
