  • Top Tri Podcast!

    The life, coaching, training and race experience from these guys has really helped me gauge my training with different perspectives . I’m in no way coached by these two, but sometimes it feels like it. They’re relatable and each episode delivers a different outlook on topics relating to triathlon. Keep it up, Gents!

  • The best triathlon podcast out there!

    Love these guys! I’ve probably tried all triathlon and endurance related podcasts over the last three or four years, and I keep coming back to Robbie and Mike. Their real world approach to life, training, and being a human being translates in a one-of-a-kind conversation about this amazing sport. They don’t do sponsors, they don’t do ads, they just want us to be happy and healthy, and they keep showing up twice a week! Really worth giving them a try, hang out for three or four episodes to get th... more

    Can’t listen anymore. Robbie brings insightful advice through intelligence born from adversity and study of the sport. Type A with compassion for those who are not. His counter part,

    Mike -Type C to the core,

    makes constant excuses as to why he is ALWAYs undertrained for race, offers little value to the podcast other than a “ I couldn’t agree with you more… “ How he coaches athletes and takes money from them is a mystery. Robbie… the dude helped you out in a low period but you’re too smar... more
