This week we're answering some of the common and most useful questions that we've been asked ahead of IRONMAN Wales.
Including:
* The best way to get through the long, 1km run from the swim exit to T1...
* What is / isn't allowed in transition in terms of full changes of clothes, nudity rules etc...
* The importance of flushing your wetsuit with water once you get in the sea...
* Avoiding wetsuit rub on your neck, which is often a lot more painful in a sea swim...
* Essential but non-obvious race-day kit that you may not have on your checklist...
* Sensible clothing choices for various weather possibilities...
* What to do (and not do!) during your final taper week...
* Final raceday tips & advice
Many of the topcis we cover are relevant to all IRONMAN races, not just Wales specifically. But if you're racing IRONMAN Wales this coming weekend, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

This week, we bring you the story of Team Oxygenaddict athlete Emma Yates who last year battled brilliantly for the win at Ironman Wales last year. We hear about the build up to the race, her race day strategy, including her nutrition and hydration approach, and get inside her mindset as she runs side by side with a great rival. We also hear about how she bounced back from the disappointment of a race earlier in the year that didn’t go as well as she had hoped - and find out what we can all learn when we treat a situation that might initially appear as a ‘failure’, and learn the lessons from it.

Coach Rob delves into how triathletes should use power meters to optimise their training and deliver faster bike splits without compromising run performances.
From installation to understanding fluctuating power numbers, Rob explains how power meters offer more consistent and reliable feedback than heart rate monitors, especially during races.
Learn about:
👉 Setting up your Garmin with the right data fields
👉 Interpreting 1, 10, and 30-second average power
👉 The importance of normalized power
👉 How to use training stress score (TSS), intensity factor (IF), and variability index (VI) to gauge and improve your performance.
Ideal for triathletes and cyclists aiming to enhance their bike splits and overall race performance.

In this episode, hosts Coach Rob Wilby and Coach Chris Palfreyman take a deep dive into the challenge of performing in high temperatures. They explore the physiology of how our bodies react to heat during exercise, the effects of humidity, and the complex task our circulatory system performs to balance oxygen delivery and temperature regulation.In this episode, you'll hear:☀️ Challenges of Heat: How our body generates heat during exercise, and how cooling mechanisms, particularly evaporative sweating, can be impacted by high humidity.☀️ The Role of Blood: A discussion about how blood plays a multifaceted role, delivering oxygen to muscles, transporting heat to the skin for dissipation, and supplying the GI system for nutrient absorption.☀️ Preparing to Race in Heat: Understanding the importance of increasing blood plasma volume to cope with heat stress and strategies to achieve this.☀️ Heat Acclimation Training: Discussion on strategies to acclimate your body to heat through controlled exercise conditions, and why this should only involve easy workout sessions.☀️ Sauna Protocol: Insights into the benefits of post-workout sauna sessions, the recommended duration, and crucial hydration guidelines to follow for rehydration in the hours following.☀️ Hot Water Immersion: The benefits of hot baths post-workout, guidance on temperature, duration, and frequency, along with hydration strategies to follow for rehydration in the hours following.☀️Assessing the Acclimation Progress: Identifying the signs that your body is acclimating to the heat, such as earlier sweat onset, increased sweat rate, a feeling of ease when exercising in heat, and mental readiness to tackle exercise in high temperatures.

Brick runs are a hot-topic among most triathletes. There's an assumption that you need to be running for a long time and / or at a high intensity once you're off the bike in a training ride.
Not only is that not necessary, but it's most likely putting you at a hugely increased risk of injury for no added training benefit.
But more importantly - it completely misses the most important aspect of the brick run.
In this video I talk you through the exact, proven brick run training protocol we prescribe for our athletes and how to incorporate it into your own training.
Frequency, pace, intensity, duration - I'll walk you through it all to ensure you're as prepared as possible to run off the bike in your IRONMAN or 70.3.

Do you know how much fluid you lose through sweating in an hour? How about the amount of sodium?
Sweat rates and concentration can vary hugely - from 300ml per hour to 1500ml per hour. And 200mg of sodium to 1500mg+ per hour.
Not knowing how much liquid, and what strength of electrolytes to be consuming while you're racing puts you at a very real risk of - at best underperforming, at worst a trip to the medical tent.
Why risk hundreds of hours of training for something that can be taken care of relatively easily?
Andy Blow, founder of Precison Fuel & Hydration talks us through the importance of correct, personalised hydration specifically for IRONMAN athletes.
PF&H are the new hydration partners for IRONMAN Europe, and will be providing on-course hydration at all European IRONMAN events throughout 2024.

In this video we talk through ways that you can swim faster in open water without necessarily having to improve your swim fitness.
Many triathletes struggle to translate their pool speed and improvements into the open water.
There are lots of different variables to consider when it comes to open water swimming vs pool swimming.
From ensuring your wetsuit helps rather than hinders your body position in the water ...
...to your ability to sight well and swim in a straight line...
...to learning how to draft effectively off of other swimmers' feet.
I also explain our top tips for drills to practice in the pool that will help get you "open water ready". Covering everything from breathing exercises to body position to maximising the power and effectiveness of your catch and pull.
I'm sure after watching this video you'll feel much better equipped as you venture into the open water for the first time in a while, and will be ready to translate those hard-earned speed gains from the pool!

Did you know almost everybody's power numbers are different outdoors when compared to indoors?
Often there's as much as a 5-10% difference, with the more "favourable" numbers from training indoors.
I've spoken to dozens - probably hundreds - of IRONMAN athletes who assumed their indoor power numbers were directly transferable to outdoor riding, resulting in them riding at too high an intensity during their bike leg, and REALLY suffering on the run as a result.
Thankfully there's a relatively straightforward way in training, to avoid this catastrophic mistake on raceday and in this video, I walk you through the what, why, how and when.
