    Ep11 - Andy Blow

    Andy Blow is the founder of Precision Fuel & Hydration and one of the leading experts in sweat, hydration and fueling for endurance athletes. Before starting the company, Andy competed as a professional triathlete and represented Great Britain at an elite level. During his racing career he became fascinated with how hydration and sodium loss affect performance, particularly in long distance endurance events. That curiosity eventually led him to work with sports scientists and elite athletes to better understand how individual sweat rates and sodium losses vary dramatically from person to person. Out of that work, Precision Fuel & Hydration was born. The company helps athletes test their sweat composition and build personalised fueling and hydration strategies so they can perform at their best and avoid issues like cramping, dehydration and GI distress. Today Precision Fuel & Hydration works with thousands of athletes ranging from amateurs to professionals, and they are the official hydration partner of Ironman. Their products and testing protocols are used across triathlon, cycling, running and other endurance sports around the world. Andy has become a trusted voice in the endurance community, helping athletes take a more scientific and personalised approach to fueling and hydration so they can perform better on race day.

    Ep10 - James Farndon

    James Farndon is a Team GB triathlete and one of the regular athletes who joined me throughout Iron105. James takes us deep into his Ironman Wales experience from a few years ago, a race where things did not go to plan. He speaks with refreshing honesty about the mistakes he made, what went wrong, and what he would do differently now. That openness makes this conversation incredibly valuable for anyone preparing for an Ironman, and especially those tackling Ironman Wales. Packed with practical lessons, real world insights, and hard earned experience, this episode is essential listening for athletes who want to learn from failure, not repeat it.
