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!

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!

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.

Jan Sibbersen broke the Kona swim record in 2018, recording an incredible 46.29. This is made all the more remarkable given that he was 43 years old and it was nearly 20 years since he’d retired as a professional triathlete! We hear the full story of Jan’s life, from his beginnings as an Olympic swimming hopeful, his quest to break the Kona swim record in the early 2000’s, his move into business with starting Sailfish Wetsuits, and then managing Patrick Lange, and finally, the culmination of his dream - could he make a comeback, and swim faster than ever, nearly 20 years after his competitive career had ended?

Richard Murray has had one of the most decorated triathlon careers - double World Junior duathlon champion, double African Triathlon champion, multiple ITU World Series event winner, Commonwealth Games Bronze medalist, and 4th place at the Olympic games in 2016. However, 8 weeks before the 2020 Olympics (in summer 2021), things changed in an instant for Richard during a swim session where he could feel things were not right, with his heart racing and beating erratically during his warm up. He was taken immediately to hospital and subsequently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, a condition where the heart loses it’s ability to regulate how fast it beats. He underwent heart surgery in an attempt to cure the condition and be ready in time for the Olympics. This is Richard’s story, in his own words for the first time, of recovering from cardiac care and his return to health and racing.
