Sam Long - The Ironman 70.3 World Champs Penalty Drama + All Things Triathlon & Training The Triathlon Hour

Sam Long joined me for his first podcast since the Ironman 70.3 World Champs penalty drama that took over the sport of triathlon last week. Sam said to me before the episode “any question you ask me, I will answer it honestly.” And so I asked all the hard questions that we wanted to hear the answers to and Sam literally left nothing out. This is one of the most real, honest, inside access chats I’ve ever had on the podcast. We go deep on the 70.3 World Champs penalty and then the Sam Laidlow drama, watching him at Kona, their relationship, their rivalry - all of it. We then talk training with the Norwegians, Lionel Sanders, is there doping in triathlon and Sam gives some shocking drug testing insight. We go over his training in the lead up to 70.3 worlds, his swimming, will he race Ironman branded races next year, his insane long runs and what changes the sport of triathlon needs to make. And there’s seriously way more. This episode is insane.
