Since 1990, Bob Babbitt, a USA Triathlon and Ironman Hall of Fame inductee, has been hosting a highly-acclaimed radio program and podcast showcasing the world’s best runners, triathletes, and cyclists - first with The Competitors and now with his new show, Babbittville Radio. These are long-form interviews, and over the years, endurance athletes have enjoyed downloading and listening to insightful and entertaining conversations with legendary athletes like cyclist Greg LeMond, triathlete Paula Newby-Fraser, or runner Meb Keflezighi while they are out running, cycling, swimming, or working out in the gym.
Babbitt has always been a big believer in the life-lessons we all learn through endurance sports and, besides interviewing endurance sports legends, there are also interviews with incredibly motivational and inspirational athletes along with a diversified mix of conversations with the best coaches, race directors, journalists, sports scientists, and authors.

Kat Matthews: Breakfast with Bob 2023
Enjoy this interview with Kat Matthews from our Breakfast with Bob: 2023 Edition. Recorded August 29th
Kat Matthews was training in Texas for her Kona debut after the PTO US Open last Fall when she was hit by a car and had life-threatening injuries including a fractured skull and multiple fractured vertebrae. Less than a year later, Kat just took 2nd place in Finland at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship. Her first race back after the crash was a 3rd place finish at Ironman 70.3 Oceanside and she followed that up with a win at Ironman Texas. We spent some time chatting about the learnings that have come her way over the past year, and on living your life with gratitude.

Plus, Sam is producing his own YouTube content, is training with the legendary Lionel Sanders, and he is absolutely living and loving life to the fullest.

Awesome!
I’ve been listening to many of Bob’s interviews and just love the insight into a Pro athlete’s world. The recently interview with Belinda Granger was just awesome, a great character and still so excited by racing and training.
Great inspiration to anyone that loves racing and training.
