395 Chris Palfreyman - High Performance Kona Coaching

Ever wondered what it takes to go from not being able to swim at all - to qualifying for Kona ? This week’s interview with Chris Palfreyman will help you understand the reality. We met Chris on our recent French training camp and immediately loved the guy. He has a great story that I think will resonate with so many of our listeners - what does it take to get to Kona, starting from zero? Chris did the work and managed to qualify - but as in so many stories, it was what he learned along the way that was the real reward, rather than actually getting to race in Kona. We’ve invited Chris to join the coaching team at Team Oxygenaddict where he’ll be running our new High Performance Program. If you’re interested, and like what you hear, get in touch!

394 Racing in the Heat, with Dr. Dan Plews

Racing in the heat this summer?

Dr. Dan Plews PhD won the overall age group Ironman World Championships in Kona in 2018, and broke the course record with the staggering time of 8.24.36. He finished off with a 2.50.56 marathon - the fifth fastest run OVERALL on the day! There’s no one better placed to help you understand how to effectively manage your race on a very hot day.

In this interview, you'll hear:

Details of how the race played out for Dan

How swimming sub 55 minutes in Kona , he still got onto the bike course surrounded by athletes

Details of his bike power numbers, including the difference between his outward leg and return leg

His approach to pacing on the run, especially in the heat, and how he made use of the headwinds to form an effective cooling strategy

Why he doesn't believe that training should ever feel like a sacrifice

How even the reigning World Age Group champion still suffers from the post Ironman blues!
