    Stuart Hackman - 10 Years of Triathlon & The GB Age-Group Journey

    Send us Fan Mail This week on the Agegroup Podcast, I’m joined by Stuart Hackman, who has spent the last decade pushing himself in endurance sport and building an impressive age-group racing career. Stuart has just completed his 50th competitive multi-sport race at Ironman Austria — a pretty incredible milestone in itself. Over the years, he’s taken on more than 120 events, including two London Marathons, three RideLondon events and the Serpentine Swim, which helped him complete his London Classic. But it’s his journey representing GB at age-group level that makes this story particularly interesting. By the end of this year, Stuart will have competed in five GB events, from the Duathlon World Championships in Alavés in 2021 through to the upcoming Long Distance World Championships in Zofingen. And there could be another big one on the horizon… Stuart has also qualified for the T100 World Championship in Qatar, which could potentially take his GB appearances to six. In this episode, we talk about the journey behind those races — the training, the commitment, the highs and lows, qualifying for GB, and what keeps you coming back for more after ten years in the sport. Whether you're already racing as an age-grouper, thinking about taking that next step, or simply interested in what it takes to keep challenging yourself year after year, this is a great story of consistency, ambition and the pursuit of the next finish line. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now. And if you’re an age-grouper with a story of your own, get in touch — we’d love to hear it.

He is a massive cycling enthusiast who also participates in local crit racing and road time trials.

He opens up about turning personal tragedy into elite purpose, breaking down the exact mindset, training consistency, and race-day tactics that carried him all the way to European Gold.

    "Running Out of Excuses: Blenheim to Team GB with Kev Appleton"

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another episode of AMP. This episode features Kev Appleton, GB Agegrouper and fellow YouTuber. Kev says "My Triathlon Journey started in 2017 when i was persuaded to enter the Blenheim Palace Sprint Triathlon in 2018. A year of training to get from over weight and unfit to to some kind of fitness I completed taht first Sprint race and was well and truly bitten by the bug. Later in 2018 I had my second triathlon but stepped up to Standard Distance at Woburn Abbey.  Over the next few years I competed in several sprint Triathlons and returned to Blenheim again in 2020 and 2021 I was soon stepping up again to 70.3 with Outlaw X, Outlaw Nottingham Half and Outlaw 70.3 Holkham, Ironman 70.3 Duisburg all completed. In 2023 we entered a Relay Team into Outlaw X with my employer Chairman and colleague we finished an amazing 3rd Place with a combined age of 167 years!  Finally running out of excuses I'd entered the Outlaw Full in 2023. This was my first "Iron" Distance, wasn't to be my last though as I now "had" to do an "Ironman" race so Barcelona was the target for 2024. Earlier in 2024 as part of my training I completed Wales Long Course Weekend in Tenby. 2025 I committed to a year of Sprint Distance racing with the intention of qualifying for the age group Team in Banyoles 2026. Making the Aquathlon Team is a great honour for me and has increased the determination to qualify for Sprint and Standard distance Teams for World and European Championships in 2027" follow Kev's journey on his YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@SwimBikeRunKev Follow on instagram @nivek4628 You Can find the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GX39Z7P5 follow us on Instagram - AMP_podcast Facebook Richard Joseph Conway Youtube - AMP GB Support the show

    Chasing Podiums: The Alice Lucas Interview

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to the podcast, on this episode we chat to Alice Lucas,  Alice says "My sporting background has been a little stop start.  As one of two girls, my mum encouraged (pushed!) us both into ballet and dancing, which I loved socially but was a disaster at.  Meanwhile, Dad was a sub 3hr marathon runner and competitive triathlete, who I idolised!  I started running at 18 - primarily to lose weight - and did my first triathlon in my early 20s on my early teenage mountain bike, but came 3rd in my AG and loved it.   Fast forward a decade or so, and I joined a running (with a hint of triathlon) club in London and had a couple of years of very amateur racing, with a strong running focus.  2020 was to be my year - unexpected ballot place in the London Marathon after 15 years of trying, several triathlons in the calendar, a 300km ride in Sweden and my first 70.3.  Alas - 2020 was no one’s year!  Sort of fell off the wagon, but moving to Bath in 2022 reignited my excitement for the sport and I joined the world’s best tri club (while I acknowledge I’m biased, I wholeheartedly believe this to be true!).  Working with an equally epic PT, I set the goal of AG racing.  I told anyone who would listen, and worked to overcome fear on the bike (work in progress), improve technique in the water (ditto) and speed up my run (there’s a theme here). Eventually raced my first MD last June and landed a qualifying time which took me to Alsdorf for the European MD Duathlon Champs last month, which was a sensational experience! I’m nothing if not ambitious - still have a LOT of work to do across all disciplines, a lot of kit to upgrade and many years of this sport ahead of me.  But objective one unlocked, proof that mindset and psychology are huge factors in any competitive sport (and business for that matter), and game on to see how far I can take this!

    The Para-Athlete Conquering the Able-Bodied Field with Sophie West (PTS5)

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to AMP its our great pleasure to welcome Dr Sophie West. Sophie says "I spent most of my adult life up to 2020 being told not to run or do impact sports, alongside having multiple surgeries and hospital admissions due to having my whole pelvis reconstructed due to my hip joints not having developed properly, on of the breaks they made in my pelvic bones never healed, hence the advice not to run. It’s actually left me with pretty stiff hips that have weakness and some nerve damage around the hips. I also work full time in the NHS as a doctor. Anyway after two pregnancies just in time for the start of Covid that bone, after 9 years healed! So I started running in Covid. We moved out of london in 2022 and at the end of 2023 I decided that 2024 would be the year I tried to do a triathlon. Started with a pool based swim one and…..won my age group, I had already left before the awards as it just didn’t even occur to me that I could have won! Through British triathlon I got assessed and was given a paratriathlon classification of PTS5. My second ever race was the British paratriathlon championships where I won silver (behind the awesome Claire Cashmore), and went on to win gold in 2025. Alongside earning myself aQT for both Europeans and worlds age group aquathlon championships where I came 7th and 11th respectively- not bad for a para athlete in an able bodied field. I have also now won the British paraduathlon championships in 2025 and 2026. All para stuff is sprint or super sprint. My goals for this year are to try some longer distances - I am doing the escape from Alcatraz triathlon (a bucket list item I didn’t know I wanted ) a standard distance triathlon and duathlon. And maybe take on a 70.3 next year. Also new for this year British triathlon have just published QTs for para-entry at multisport events so watch this space on that one. I’m also hoping to do the world aquathlon championships in Abu Dhabi in November, and trying to get a QT in aquathlon, sprint and standard distance duathlon for Edmonton. I’m also a mum to 6 and 10 year old boys. And yes, my life is completely bonkers! I think it would be interesting as a para-athlete in the age group team which is quite unusual and not too many of us!  I also get swimming induced pulmonary oedema to add to the complexity of things! But also im still really new to the sport which I hope would inspire others." you can follow Sophie on instagram @doctorsophie82 You Can Follow us  on YouTube - AMP GB Instagram @amp_podcast Facebook : Richard Joseph Conway find all our episodes on our website Website is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com You Can buy the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - https://www.amazon.com/1001-TRIATHLON-TIPS-essential-triathlon-ebook/dp/B0GX39Z7P5/ref=zg_bsnr_g_16592_d_sccl_10/141-4765249-6496905?psc=1 Support the show
