  • Used to be great, now it is just PTO hate primetime

    Used to love this pod. Informative and entertaining. From a few months back to now has devolved into a PTO hating add. The last two episodes were essentially about how the PTO allegedly screwed a press announcement. Everyone of the latest episodes has become a contest of why Ironman is better. And the vitriol in the last two episodes is just too much. Can’t understand why a good thing turned so bad.

  • Used to love it- format has shifted though

    Started listening about 18 months ago. Initially I loved it- hosts seemed chill, funny and super informative. But after listening awhile I’ve noticed a few things. Audio quality isn’t great, one host seems to regularly brag about his cycling successes and all the toys he buys- just an overall arrogance from the hosts of this show.l which gets irritating to listen to after awhile. And as of very recently, they talk HEAVILY about short course- which I imagine 95% of their listeners are not int... more

  • Best show, worst audio

    I love the takes but the audio quality is the absolute worst. Put a little effort in and do some production and editing. Glad to donate $10 to get a microphone puff.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 296: Race Week- Run
Q: What did you learn last year, and would you change the way you paced the run this year?
Solveig Løvseth says she could have started more slowly and learned that the run felt difficult from the beginning rather than becoming progressively worse. She also found Aliʻi Drive more challenging than the Energy Lab and says runners who feel bad early can still finish strongly.
Episode 296: Race Week- Run
Q: How does it feel out there, and does it feel the same or different every year?
Jan Frodeno says the course has changed, but managing the conditions matters more than small distance differences. He recommends pacing by feel because heat, humidity and hills can make early efforts costly.
Episode 297: Race Week- Women's Race Preview
Q: Where's your Achilles issue at?
Matthews says she is optimistic about running well, having completed hard training sessions, and hopes the Achilles will not limit her on race day.
Episode 297: Race Week- Women's Race Preview
Q: Do you think this will be the year that Daniela Ryf's bike record is taken down?
Ryf says the record could be broken depending on the conditions, and expects a very fast race.
Episode 298: Race Week- Men's Race Preview
Q: How's the build been? Where's the confidence at? If you're going to take scissors to your t-shirt, obviously you're feeling pretty confident.
Foley says his build has gone well, he feels good rather than burnt out, and wants to finish the season on a high without putting too much pressure on himself. He also hopes to move on from the difficult experience of his 2024 Kona DNF.
