100% recommend!
Straight talking, no nonsense triathlon podcast with great advice and interviews. Mark is able to get the best athletes on to interview and he is a refreshing alternative to all the other triathlon podcasts.
Love this podcast, great insights and lots of useful information. Love Mark’s honesty, insight and interviews.
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.

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
