EXCLUSIVE never before seen footage of Greg McDermott cutting up the d-floor circa 1993, and we hate to admit it…. the kid could dance! There are two ways you can look at this story, what an amazing skill or what a waste of talent.

It’s marathon season and coach Tim Franklin joins us in the studio to chat about his own marathon experience from the Gold Coast and also the 14,000 others! Also shares a few more stories from his Run Around the World.

For those athletes in the Southern Hemisphere looking to take this season up a notch, it’s the season of gains, for those athletes in the north, it’s race time!

IRONMAN has updated its age group qualifying process for both the IRONMAN and 70.3 World Championship events from 2026 onwards, and there is much to unpack and understand. As the #1 ranked coaching service in Kona 2024 we try to explain how it all works and even simulate some recent races to better explain how it would look.

Why?

‘Based on athlete feedback and our own due diligence, we believe the new approach is even more consistent with our principle that the most competitive athletes are recognized and rewarded with qualifying slots. In the prior system, qualifying slots rolled down within gender and age group, and the number of slots allocated to each gender and age group was based on how many people were racing within that gender and age group. In some cases, highly competitive athletes were unable to earn a slot because their age group or gender was under-represented in a race. In contrast, some athletes who were less competitive relative to their age group would earn a slot because their age group was over-represented and thus had more slots allocated to it. In the new system, we rank athletes based on their relative performance (vs. their age-group), and irrespective of age or gender, the most competitive athletes on race day receive qualifying slots until all available slots for that race are claimed.’
