In this week's episode I chat to my client David who I have helped get into the best shape of his life racing in the 40-45 age category, despite being in the sport since his mid 20s.

We discuss the race itself, but also all the ingredients that helped him achieve his goals, fitting them around a busy professional and personal life.

In this week's episode I look at the differences between and IRONMAN and 70,3, to help you understand which is the better distance for you to target in 2026.

While there is no hard and fast answer on the best distance, I wanted to challenge the idea that the IRONMAN was the superior event simply because it is longer, and when someone may want to consider focusing on a 70.3, whether they are new to the sport or have already finished Ironman events.

As we move towards the end of the season, we have to take a slightly different approach to our racing. We are likely fatigued from a season of training and racing by now, which combined with the lower temperatures means we have to approach our events differently.
