Simon Lessing truly is a Triathlon Legend. Before we had Gomez, Frodeno, or the Brownlee Brothers, we had this man. If you ever debate who is the greatest of all time Triathlete, his name must be in the conversation.
Hailing from the shores of Cape Town, racing for Britain, and dominating the European and world circuits, his legacy is so remarkable that it has inspired a generation of triathletes. With five ITU World Championship titles, Nice long distance, a string of Ironman 70.3 victories, and a record-breaking performance at Ironman Lake Placid, wins at big nondrafting classics at Chicago and Alcatraz, and his domination of the French Iron Tour, his excellence in the sport is unquestioned. Beyond the race courses, his influence continues to shape the future of triathlon through his coaching endeavors. He was appointed an MBE in the 2000 New Year Honours for services to triathlon.When I look back at my career as an athlete, few have had this man's impact and sheer dominance.

Dan Lorang is one of the all-time greatest performance coaches in the world. His results speak for themselves. Both with the Men and women Kona Ironman World Champions, Grand Tour Cycling Champions, and the list goes on.
He’s a familiar voice to the show, having shared his insights with us back 2 years ago on, September 21st, 2021, and even before that on August 3rd, 2020. If you missed those, you really need to go back and have a listen. His episodes are some of the most downloaded and most requested of the 200+ I’ve recorded.
He’s the Head of Performance for the Bora-Hansgrohe Cycling team and the strategic genius behind the world's greatest triathletes. Under his guidance, athletes have reached pinnacle moments in their careers - we're talking about Jai Hindley, the Aussie who won the Giro d’Italia in 2022, Kona Ironman world champion, Anne Haug, who has dominated the rankings as the World's number one female triathlete for two years running, the incredible Lucy Charles-Barclay, who just shattered records at the Kona Ironman World Championships, and of course, the legend himself, 3 time Kona Ironman world champion and Olympic Gold medalist, Jan Frodeno, whose list of accomplishments could fill an entire podcast episode.

Alright... Today's guest is a regular on the show. He’s one of the worlds leading sports physiologists and coaches. Normally we are either discussing his work on Heart Rate Variability, Heat acclimatisation. Low-carb fueling, or his athletes winning major events including Olympic Gold medals, the Americas Cup or Kona Ironman World Title.
And Sure, we will touch on all the above. But the main reason I have this man on the show today is to celebrate his extraordinary performance at Ironman California, where he smashed the 8-hour mark with a jaw-dropping 7.56-hour - dominating the age-group competition. And wow, has he stirred up some conversations around the Triathlon world.
On top of all of that he’s the brain behind EndureIQ, where he turns science into actionable training plans, and let’s be honest, the triathlon world perks up whenever he has something to say.
He’s one of my all time favorites I’ve had the pleasure of having on the show.

Lucy Charles-Barclay needs little introduction. From four second-place finishes to a wire-to-wire win and with a shattering 8hr .24min course record at the Kona Ironman World Championships, her journey has been nothing short of legendary. Her resilience, grit, and sheer force of will have propelled her to the pinnacle of the sport. She won the Ironman 70.3 World Championships 2 years ago in one of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen, then the World Triathlon Long Distance World Championships last year, and now, the final jewel to her triathlon crown: in what I believe to be one of the most outstanding performances ever in our sports history, the Kona Ironman World Championship.

Alright, today's guest is a legend in the world of Triathlon.. An Australian prodigy who made waves early in her career, clinching silver at the Junior World Championships in both 2007 and 2008. And then she struck gold at the junior world champs in Budapest in 2010 and went on to win her first ITU World Cup the following year. For the past decade, she's been a fixture at the pointy end of the sport, taking home titles like the World Triathlon Grand Final in 2018 right on home turf on the Gold Coast. She's a dual Olympian, representing Australia in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021, and she's won the holy grail of Australian Triathlon, The Noosa Multi-sport festival Triathlon 9 times… going for 10 in a couple of weeks.Two years ago, she pivoted to middle-distance and crushed it. Out of five PTO Championships she’s won 3 and finished 2nd twice. Add to that she’s won or been on the podium nearly every race she’s started the past two years. An incredible transition up in distance. She’s been sitting at world number one for most of the year. Just this week, she slid to the second spot, but let's be honest, when you're at that altitude, it's all the same.
Off the track, she's no less remarkable. Recently married to Josh Amberger, another incredible triathlete who was just on the show a few weeks back, they are the power couple redefining relationship goals in the world of triathlon.

Alright... today's guest is one of the best men I know. His accomplishments in the triathlon world are remarkable! He's an IRONMAN machine, holding an ITU Long Distance World Champion title, boasting numerous podium finishes at the Kona Ironman World Championships, and loads of Ironman and Ironman 70.3 victories.
He’s come back from a near fatal heart attack in 2021, known as the widow maker and shown the world what sheer grit and determination really is.
But beyond these accolades, he's been a great mate of mine for over 15 years. We've shared laughs, bottles of wine, and memories from some legendary parties we’ve thrown.
Beyond the athlete, he's a remarkable husband and father, who brings as much passion to his family life as he does to the racecourse.
It’s been over a year since I’ve had him on the show and I thought we should check in and see what he’s been up to. It's always a treat having him on.

Alright, today's guest is an iconic figure in the Triathlon world, having been a professional for over a decade. But I feel like I’ve known him for well over two decades… he’s been around for what seems like a long time. He has a variety of accolades that make him stand out in the field. Notably, the 2017 IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Champion which he won in front of a star studded field, add to that he’s an 11x IRONMAN 70.3 Champion. He's known for being the fastest swimmer on the circuit for the past 10+ years, and let's not forget, he claims to have "the best haircut in the sport." But beyond his athletic prowess, he's a character—a fan of death metal, films about war, and known for his sense of humor. He’s a good mate, and we’ve battled on the race course many times.
His wife Ashleigh Gentle, current world number 1 ranked athlete on the PTO ranking was on the show two years ago.

She represented the Czech Republic at the 2012 Olympics. Then transitioned to middle distance and Ironman 70.3 events and absolutely crushed them. She has won almost 50% of the middle-distance events she’s started… and she’s started over 50 of them. Her domination after giving birth to her daughter was incredible in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
She hasn’t stopped there. She's just clinched her spot in the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, off the back of not one but two second-place finishes, six weeks apart in Ironman Australia and Ironman Cairns.
She's the epitome of grit and excellence in triathlon, and she's doing it all while raising a family and running a business.
Add to that, she's one half of a triathlon super couple, married to Aussie multiple Olympian Brad Kahlefeldt.

Support the show athttps://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856"The Greg Bennett Show" Bobby McGee is one of the worlds greatest running coaches and has been involved in endurance coaching for 32 years. He is a 5 x Olympic coach, and has been involved in some form with 9 Olympic medalists.Bobby has spent many years coaching elite athletes and individual amateurs of all levels, guiding them to achieve their goals.Bobby says, there are three very important aspects of endurance training;Firstly, address your running mechanics. Teach yourself to run effectively and to avoid injuries in order to race at your optimum level.Secondly, look at how you train. What is it about your training that’s holding you back? Is there a way that you can train better?Lastly, address the mental blocks that hold you back. How can you unleash the power of your mind to get you to race effectively?In this episode, Bobby and Greg discuss The Pendola Project. Here is a link to more information where you can even sign up to one of thee 12 week RunForm. Whether you are training for an Olympic Gold or a local 5k you can run happier and faster. The Relative Run Readiness packages will give you the strength and proper movement patterns to run with good form for longer. Timestamps1:53 - Interview starts5:05 - About Bobby McGee. Bobby was born in South Africa and went to University basically to study to become a coach, He started by coaching middle and long distance track runners and went on to coach road runners and marathoners. Bobby moved to Boulder in the US in 1992 , and started coaching triathletes.8:23 - Bobby currently coaches Victoria Lopez, Taylor Knibb, Flora Duffy, Kirsten Kasper along with other pro and amatuer athletes.10:21 - When coaching elite triathletes, it's important to consider the athletes biomechanics. For instance long distance swimmers often have low bone density and therefore do not perform as strong runners due to the rigors of long distance running, so as a coach it's important to understand and set training expectations specifically for each individual.Bobby's book: Magical Running - A Unique path to running fulfillment15:59 - Bobby's fascination of the bio mechanics of running came about as he could see a connection between certain running motion patterns and the tendency of getting injured.I use to say: I don’t teach people how to run, I help people get back to the best running that they are capable of.Good running form looks very differently depending on the individual’s genetics, one has to have a very different approach to someone with for instance long torso and short legs compared to someone with a more natural body composition for running. Also, factors like running background (has the athlete practiced plenty of speed work or come from an endurance background?) matters in how Bobby approaches individuals running technique.20:06 - Rewinding the clock. Bobby describes his youth and pathway through younger years to discover his passion for running, and then coaching, including serving time in the South African Military.37:54 - Shifting to mindset and performance, Bobby describes the advice he would give an athlete struggling with confidence. Being aware and knowing how your thoughts affect you is crucial in order to perform. Bobby feels that there is no right or wrong way to prepare mentally for competition, some people are super calm before races and perform well and others are extremely nervous and also perform well. Many age groupers (especially males) tend to overestimate their performance and hence set themselves up for failure by not being able to rise to their expectations. Don't doubt yourself, "The only thing you should doubt, is the doubt".The only thing you should doubt, is the doubt.41:53 - When it comes to an athlete feeling failure, Bobby explains his techniques that he applies to his athletes. Bobby's golden rule - There is what happened ... then there is 'what are you making it mean to you'. Meaning and interpretation affect an athlete's mindset.48:23 - Different type of run drills are great in order to achieve a change in running style. The purpose of drills are basically to exaggerate a specific movement. Drills play three different roles: First, you’re trying to address a mechanical anomaly that the athlete has gotten into, the second reason is to do it as an activation exercise and the last role is for muscle endurance or power purposes. One also needs to make sure that the athlete has the strength, mobility and balance to run in a specific way. When approaching your running technique, one must be rather careful, this is an area where the wrong tips can get the opposite effect on your performance. 57:27 - First two laws of mechanics. The first rule is to never trust what you feel, you think you run a certain way but when you look into the mirror it rarely looks like what you first thought. The second rule is that if you want to achieve a change, you need to exaggerate the movement (this is also very applicable to swimming).1:04:26 - The Run Transformation Course is a membership-based training program put together by Bobby McGee and is available at his website. Members have access to Bobby McGee’s proven training strategies and a wealth of other resources. The program currently provides nearly 10 hours of running training including over four hours of video on running drills, two and one half hours of video on biomechanics, a 75 minute mental skills assessment and two hours of running sports essentials material.1:06:16 - Interview concludes.
