383 Age Group Story: Simon Maguire Completes his Ironman

Simon Maguire is an Age Grouper and has been a member of Team Oxygenaddict for the last two years. He’s been on an amazing, transformational journey in that time: he’s lost over 85 pounds in weight, and recently completed a self supported Ironman in memory of his Mum, who sadly passed away from cancer 25 years earlier. Along the way, he’s overcome a reliance on alcohol and painkillers that had become problematic for him, and has completely turned his life around. Simon’s journey, and the event itself, has been a massive inspiration for our Team members over the last 2 years, and I’m so proud we can share his success story with the World!

381 Dave Scott on Strength and Conditioning

This week, we have a Dave Scott interview from the archive, to talk strength and conditioning for triathletes!

We cover:

The kinds of S and C work Dave has done across his career, and how he feels it's helped him.

The kinds of S and C work Dave has his Age Group athletes do - bodyweight exercises, weight training, pilates/yoga, and how that changes across a season. We also talk variations for winter/off season work, pre season work, and race season / maintenance work.

He also talks about alternatives to swimming while pools are closed - band work, specific S and C, and swim cords that athletes can be getting on with until pools return to normal.

Sign up for Dave’s free fortnightly newsletter covering a wide range of topics by visiting https://davescottinc.com/

Additionally, you can also ask questions directly to Dave by going to https://davescottinc.com/
