    55. Double Olympic Champion Alistair Brownlee: The Rule That Didn't Exist Until He Broke It...

    DOUBLE OLYMPIC CHAMPION🤯🥇Not only one of the most decorated triathletes of all time, he’s a hero for many and was part of the iconic Team GB in 2008, 2012 & 2016 👏🏼. Alistair gave us one of the most iconic, heartwarming & controversial moments on endurance sport when he dragged his brother Jonny at the world championships over the line. If you were to have told that young lad watching the 2012 Olympics that he’d be one day chatting with a man who won gold I would have laughed at you. Incredible chat, absolutely loved that 🙌🏼 Alistair's IG: https://www.instagram.com/alistair.brownlee/?hl=en Truefuels IG: https://www.instagram.com/truefuels/?hl=enThe Brownlee Foundation IG: https://www.instagram.com/brownleefoundation/?hl=en Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@motionalintelligencepod Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/motionalintelligencepod Calum's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calumgoddard/ Calum's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@calumgoddard YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC4g2mhwrlRBzXhAsyXVWz4A Contact: motionalintelligencepod@gmail.com 0:00 - Introduction 0:55 - Welcome Alistair Brownlee 1:12 - Growing Up in Yorkshire 3:10 - First Triathlon Experience 5:00 - Finding Triathlon 5:41 - World Junior Championships 6:34 - Evolution of Triathlon 10:23 - Barriers to Entry 13:02 - Simplicity in Sport 14:57 - Rivalry With Brother Jonny 19:49 - Beijing 2008 Olympics 30:35 - Training for London 2012 33:49 - London 2012 Olympics 38:09 - Winning Olympic Gold 41:49 - Rio 2016 Back to Back Gold 46:30 - The Iconic Mexico Moment 51:14 - What Happened to Jonny 53:17 - Retirement & Business Ventures 54:48 - TrueFuels & Nutrition 56:03 - Norseman Triathlon 1:02:15 - Future Events 1:04:12 - Alex Yee & Future of Triathlon 1:06:14 - Room 101 1:07:10 - Outro & Brownlee Foundation

    This week Hugo Fry joins for the July Fry Up and finally reveals all about SECRET sub 10 ironman he did on just 6 weeks of training, finishing in 9 hours 30 minutes without really telling anyone beforehand - throwing hot soup on himself mid-race, choppy lake swims, and all.

    51. The IMPOSSIBLE Standard Content Creators Are Being Held To...

    Emily Fairs is back on the pod! This week we catch up on her Saucony 10K race, break down whether an ultramarathon or a 10K is actually harder, and talk about drinking and training through the summer with no guilt. We also dig into the impossible standard female creators are held to. Emily reads out a comment accusing her of losing weight and we unpack why she "can't win" no matter what she posts. And if that wasn't enough, we touch on the Meta glasses consent controversy, London Marathon's new two-day format, and why delusion and optimism might be the secret to achieving anything.
