Joe catches up with Canada’s Tyler Mislawchuk after his blistering Super League run in Chicago. They unpack how team tactics shape Super League racing, why the swims get slower but harder, and how Tyler’s longer aerobic work is boosting both Super League and WTCS form. The chat veers into friendly ribbing about hairlines, weekend race plans, and then pivots to Joe’s Copenhagen tale of a great ride undone by a puncture and why he is now all-in on Nice. They trade views on descent hype at Nice, Morgan Pearson’s antics, and the steady drumbeat of doping news. The second half turns into a fun coaching thought experiment where Joe maps a Kona plan for Tyler and Tyler returns the favour with heat-prep, swim technique tweaks, and hill sprints. They wrap with favourite sessions from the last few weeks.

Joe Skipper is back and joined by Tyler Mislawchuk for the start of a new JYD series.

In this episode, Joe and Tyler dive into what’s been happening in the triathlon world, answer listener questions, and chat all things training, altitude, brick sessions, zone two riding, and knowing when to back off.

They talk openly about injuries, coaching versus self-coaching, and how to balance racing between Super League and 70.3s. Tyler shares what it’s like training at 2,100 metres in Flagstaff, reflects on his Olympic journey, and breaks down what really happened in that near photo finish with Alex Yee.

This episode covers everything from run drills and barefoot cooldowns to VO2 max myths, carbon shoes, and whether Jakob Ingebrigtsen is pushing his luck coming back from injury.

Joe and Tom catch up after the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt, breaking down the race and sharing their own recent experiences.

Tom reflects on missing his race due to car troubles despite being in top form, while Joe talks about his own training and upcoming races. They dive into the performances in Frankfurt, including Kristian Blummenfelt’s smart racing, Kristian Hogenhaug’s strong showing before a controversial penalty, and how tactics played out on the bike and run. The conversation also covers the chaotic officiating that impacted the race outcome, with both Joe and Tom criticising inconsistent and heavy-handed referee decisions.

They discuss the recent change of venue for the T100 series, with Tom highlighting the double standards in how race organisers portray different countries. The episode wraps up with a look ahead to Challenge Roth and some light-hearted chat about travel, training and triathlon culture.
