  • Best triathlon podcast I know.

    I have followed Marks podcast now for a number of years, also ashamed to say it, I’ve started from the first episode again! His straight talking advice and guidance has helped me greatly. The tips and tricks together with his free programs have helped me succeed in 5 Ironman events to date.

    The only warning i would say is, be aware that when running on the treadmill in the gym with the AirPods in, listening to Marks banta can affect not only your stride but also causes fits of loud laughter to ... more

  • Honest, entertaining and above all, well informed

    Mark’s candid approach to endurance sports (not just triathlon) has stood the test of time. Be in partnership with co-hosts from time-to-time, or shooting the breeze solo with some of the most interesting names in the business, Mark has grown as an interviewer and a podcast host. Leagues ahead of the rest of the m-dot/PTO worship-shows out there. Hats off to you Mark

From Special Forces to Performance Psychology with Simon Jeffries
Q: In the sporting world, Simon, what examples have you got with athletes now? Is there a trend that you're noticing within particular elite sports that they're missing a certain facet?
Athletes at the top often neglect the training of mindset and emotional regulation; many programs focus on technique but not on building a practical mental training pathway that can be applied across environments.
Why I Doped - Collin Chartier’s Story
Q: Describe yourself before you got pinged and describe yourself now.
Collin explains the drastic personal shift from a career-focused, ego-driven athlete to someone who emphasizes accountability, growth, and service, showing how the setback forced a redefinition of identity.
Stephen Derrett Patagonman Champion 2025
Q: What are your thoughts on the competition and atmosphere during the Patagonman Triathlon?
Racing against top athletes like Alistair Brownlee was surreal, and the experience of the Patagonman course is unparalleled and breathtaking.
Stephen Derrett Patagonman Champion 2025

Q: Should someone who has a previous doping ban in triathlon be allowed a platform and an opinion in our sport?
Yes, but it depends on their response to the ban and how they handle their actions afterwards.
