That Triathlon Show

Lots of technical information for the science-focused triathlete. As a mere age-grouper, some of the info is a little over my head, but I enjoy listening anyway. It is presented in a way that makes me want to learn more without making me feel stupid. Keep up the good work!

I look forward to each new episode that comes out. Great podcast!

After completing my first open water 5k swim race in May of this year, I started triathlon training with my coach. I LOVE it. Being new to this kind of endurance sport and training, I started exploring podcasts and books. Mikael’s podcast has been a huge source of inspiration and knowledge for me. I listen to it weekly and many of the episodes repeatedly. His topical focus, his relevancy for us age-groupers who are new to this sport is simply BEST-IN-CLASS. If you are an age group triathlete, no matter your experience level, try this podcast and explore the archives. You will love it. On a personal note; his interviews with Tim Noakes and others inspired me to breakthrough perceived performance barriers and finally break 2:00/100m in my swimming…huge for me. Thanks Mikael.

This was one of the most difficult podcasts to listen to. The guest; A recent college graduate who got his PhD. This was an interview with a adolescent in a grown-up world. He (Boynton) seems to have been thrown into the real world of uncertainty; He seems lost, almost drowned with data and the reality of uncertainty. A deer in the headlights. His inability to communicate combined with an incomplete understanding of what he actually knows. He gravitates towards the belief that nothing is knowable. As though the decades of knowledge accumulated over time has no real meaning. " I am a skeptic because in grad-school I heard that from my proctor." (paraphrasing). I am a big fan of That Triathlon Show. However, this guest brought little to the table other than exposing himself as confused. 1/5 ⭐️'s
