We start the show by discussing our most controversial 2026 triathlon opinions. There is some simply outrageous opinions and plenty of strong feedback for each other. Kristian Blummenfelt, Sam Laidlow, Alex Yee, Hayden Wilde, Australia, Doping, Brett Sutton and so many other crazy topics get debated. We then get stuck into picking which people have had better 2026’s so far and why. Plus a whole bunch of training chat, like do long runs matter, is zone 3 better than zone 2, is diet important and much more. We have come back from our mid year break fresh, rusty, opinionated and ready for a big end to 2026!!!

A little over a week ago Paula won her first ever Ironman at Lake Placid and a few weeks before that Ari won his first ever pro Ironman 70.3 + they’ve both been on podiums in their last 3 races SO Jack sat down with them both at the same time to get all of their training, racing & life updates. Paula & Ari must have been in good moods because they divulged some secret Ironman training that we'd never about heard before and both of them gave us lots of strong opinions on a wide range of topics in the triathlon world. This one was amazing and we hope you enjoy it! Try NOMIO for yourself. Discount code - TTH15 (for 15% off).

Ironman in 2026 is WILD. Marten Van Riel sends a warning To Kristian, Gustav & Casper. Marquardt is a threat. Trevor Foley was on the podium before it all came crashing down. Paula Findlay puts on a masterclass ahead of a strong field, now onto the real test - Kona! And Chelsea Sodaro's 4 hour marathon has us all questioning whether she still has what it takes.

Only a few days after winning Challenge Roth and shocking the triathlon world by beating Lucy Charles-Barclay & Kat Matthews to do so, Alanis Siffert joins us to talk all about HOW she did it. We get stuck right into the training she did leading into the race where Alanis gives us so many details we could all literally just copy her program. But I warn you, it's a pretty crazy training program that not many people in the world could survive (like her huge double bike and double run days, for example). I get the scoop on her 4 month training camp in China where her life was nothing but eat, sleep, train, repeat and ask all about what China is really like as a training camp environment and to make it a bit less mysterious for us all. There's lots of other amazing stuff in here about mindset and trying to train harder than the rest of the world, diet, body weight and we also get a step by step recounting of the Challenge Roth race and stories from Alanis that you won't have heard anywhere else yet.
