In this video we delve into Team Oxygenaddict athlete Allun Sutherland's incredible journey from complete beginner to Ironman Wales finisher. This is genuinely one of, if not the most incredible, inspirational age-group stories we've ever had.Alan started with no experience - literally unable to swim, didn't own a bike, and couldn't run for more than a couple of minutes without needing to stop and rest. But in less than 12 months, through patience, determination, and trusting the training process, he was able to confidently deal with everything the day threw at him - including rough sea conditions, jellyfish, and bad weather. Hear Allun's firsthand account of the training process and progression of a complete beginner, mastering race-day strategies, dealing with injuries, and the importance of mental resilience. If you're new to triathlon and have your sights set on one day tackling Ironman, you'll want to tune in to hear Alan’s remarkable journey from a complete novice to an Ironman finisher at one of the toughest Ironman races in the world. A testament to what you can achieve with the right mindset!

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.
