Jan Frodeno

No surprised here but this week we talk all about the PTO US Open. One of the most exciting races we have seen in a long time. We discuss the brilliance of Taylor Knibb, the breakthrough performance of Lucy Byram and the consistency of Ashleigh Gentle. We give our thoughts on the broadcast. The things we liked and some minor points for improvement. We then turn our attention to the men's race where we saw Jan Frodeno give on of the best performances of his career to beat almost all of the 'next generation. We look at the incredible performance of Kristian Blummenfelt and what Jan's victory means when writing the history of triathlon. Basically we talk about why Jan Frodeno IS the greatest of all time!

#5 - Talking Triathlon with David McNamee

Alistair Brownlee

Last week we saw IronMan Lake Placid won by Joe Skipper (smashing the course record in the process) but we didn't see Alistair Brownlee race at what was the final chance to qualify for Nice. This will mean that Alistair Brownlee will not be lininig up in Nice in September and might indicate that he is injured again.  We discuss this as well as all the action from WTCS Hamburg, whether we will see Gustav Iden race Nice, the problems being faced by British Triathlon like Georgia Taylor-Brown tearing her calf, no WTCS event there in 2024 and the PTO US Open (and much much more!)

Magnus Ditlev

This week we are joined by Magnus Ditlev off the back of his incredible performance in Roth. We discuss the differences between Roth in 2022 and 2023, his plans between now and Nice and what he thinks of his chances on the Nice course and how it will suit a strong cylist like himself.

Chrissie Wellington

Daniela Ryf

We're back with plenty to talk about this week.  We discuss the news that Andrew Messick has stepped down as the head of IronMan. We look at the pros and cons from his tenure and then discuss what we would like to see IronMan do after he is replaced.  We discuss the news that the Collins Cup isn't happening, start lists for The PTO US Tour (typically they announced wild cards almost immediately after we recorded) and preview WTCS Hamburg this weekend. We then turn our attention to Challenge Roth from a few weeks back where we are joined by Chrissie Wellington (via Get out in It) to hear what it meant to see her world record beaten by Daniela Ryf and why she is one of, if not, the greatest female triathlete of all time.

Talking Triathlon

The boys breakdown the Oprah Interview with Lance. Wanaka Challenge, what the hell happened to Macca? Auckland 70.3, Terenzo takes a tumble. Christian Kemp, James Hodge and more. Ironman V's Challenge, Macca breaks it down. South Africa 70.3, Ironman boys run faster than the ITU boyz! What's that all about? Bart Aernouts, Ronnie Schildknecht, Will Clark, Tim Don. Jodie Swallow. 2 athletes passed away in the swim, why is that? MG gives his thoughts. Endurance racing and challenging courses, alternative courses that will push you to your limits. Tour down under, big crashes and high drama. MG was there and gives us the break down. Ironman New Zealand, Cameron Brown, Terenzo Bozzone, Bevan Docherty Panama 70.3 3 Questions of the Day ... #1 - What's the longest run you'd complete prior to an Iron Distance Race? #2 - What can we do to help cramping in the swim? #3 - Any training advice for someone who works night shifts?

#3 - I'm Sorry

We are back after Macca's travels around Europe and the US with Superleague. The good thing? We have lots to discuss as we sink our teeth into the recent drafting controversy around IM Texas. Chris gives his thoughts on how we can resolve the growing problem with short, over-crowded courses. We also discuss a whole range of results including IM South Africa, WTS Bermuda, 70.3 Oceanside and Crowie's impressive result in China. We specifically talk about the domination Frodo demonstrated at Oceanside, Lucy Charles' performance in South Africa, swimming faster than most of the male pros and the impressive racing from the Commonwealth Games. We also discuss when is it ok for Macca to make a comeback to racing? As a former pro who loves the sport, is there ever a time where he would be able to come back and race as an age grouper without being lynched by the masses?  We make a number of announcements for MaccaX including new team sponsors, coaches and upcoming camps.

Welcome back! You might be getting confused by just how consistent this podcast is becoming! But with so much happening in the world of triathlon how could we not!?!?

We discuss the incredible performance of Cam Brown who at 45 broke his own course record! We also discuss the brilliant victory of Laura Siddel who convincingly turned last year's 2nd place into 1st this year with her 9 hour flat result.

This week we discuss some recent results including Brownlee and Lawrence's performances at Dubai 70.3 as well as Geelong 70.3, Challenge Wanaka and Husky Long Course. Macca talks about the 40 years of Kona history and some of his most memorable moments. We then discuss the biggest changes he noticed throughout his career and afterwards including some changes in technology he thought were ridiculous that turned out to be game changers and some funny stories about how to dress like a cyclist to impress your cyclist friends. We discuss if there is still a place for long course triathlon in the future now that the Olympics are going shorter and answer a MaccaX member, Henning Von Poser's question about where the sport will be in 10 years. Plenty of laughs this time as Chris accepts just how old he is and how long he has been involved in the sport! He also discusses the changes in triathlon fashion since he first started out.

#45 - 2017 Wrap Up & A New Direction (and Co-Host) 

 Lionel Sanders 3peat at IM Arizona Weekend review  Arizona Ironman The guys discuss Lionel Sanders’ incredible progress. The Rocky Balboa of triathlon Island House Tri and that epic sprint between Ben Kanute and Terenzo.  If Kona happened in November Terenzo could be world champ! He runs off rhythm until he’s done then starts again. Is Terenzo racing Bahrain or Western Sydney? Macca’s picks for the weekend:  Western Sydney 70.3 Bahrain 70.3 – should be an easy $1m for Daniela Phuket 70.3 – weak field with so many big races    Is there money to be made in triathlon? Jan Frodeno – coming off a soft year what’s his strategy for a comeback. Is he intimidated by the likes of Lionel Sanders? Career longevity – the impact of so many races Patrick Lange – someone Macca never picked to win Kona Gwen Jorgensen’s move to marathon – an easier lifestyle choice with a family. Will Flora Duffy fill her shoes in triathlon. Younger athletes will do well at Olympics with the shorter distance – Zaferes, Cook, Gorman, Brown – USA very strong Last big race of the year at IMWA – Terenzo defending Alistair Brownlee – plans for 70.3/Olympics/Ironman Macca’s travels – Superleague where to next? Questions  Superleague for IM triathletes – any advice What format would Age Groupers prefer? MaccaX camps around Superleague races

#44 - OCT & NOV Race Recaps 

Plenty of results to talk about including some impressive female performances at IM Lake Placid, IM UK and the ITU World Long Course Championships.  We also took the time this week to get some training advice.

We also then discuss the difference between motivation and accountability and how Macca managed to train when he wasn't motivated. These are tips that all athletes, age group or pro can use to improve. We answer some questions from the MaccaX community and make some more announcements including another addition to the coaching staff.

#66 - Macca's Guide To Swimming

In December 2018, The 70.3 World Record was crushed by the young Norwegian athlete, Kristian Blummenfelt. Blummenfelt, who is better known for success at short course racing with some dominating performances at Super League managed a 21:36 swim, 1:56 bike and 1:06 run to crush the previous record with a 3:29:04! This week we are extremely lucky to be joined by Kristian as he talks us through how that race unfolded, the preparation for the event and most importantly, how much faster he thinks he can go. We discuss his plans for the future including Olympic success, Iron Man domination and not only breaking the 70.3 World Record but the Iron Man World Record as well. Kristian also talks about the lessons that age group athletes can take from him to improve their performance as well. This is an incredibly open and insightful conversation where you will gain a true insight into what it takes to go fast or as Kristian puts it, 'make your competitors look bad!'
