In this week’s podcast, I have asked some of my pro-athlete contacts to share their thoughts on the current situation. In particular, I wanted to know: How they have adapted their training given the current restrictions to group sessions and facilities Their mental approach to having no races in the calendar for the immediate future What financial challenges they face now that they have no opportunity to win prize money  My 3 guests include two returning guests who are based in Leeds:  Rising star of the 70.3 world, Elliot Smales, high performance athlete Sam Dickinson, and also two new guests to this show!  An Olympian, twice former World Champion, and now mother of two, Helen Jenkins along with husband and coach also an ex pro and Olympian, Marc Jenkins.  These are 3 very candid and open conversations where we chat about: Getting some perspective on life Swim training without a pool - what the pros do To ride outdoors or not Coping without group training The mental aspect of being a racer and having no races How PTO is helping athletes  If you would like to join SWAT but finances are challenged right now or will be in the near future, please reach out to us by email and we will find a way to try and help, Beth@thetriathloncoach.com.

COVID19 and how the pros are coping * Simon Ward and Elliot Smales, Sam Dickinson, and Helen and Marc Jenkins

On this week’ss show my guest is Elliot Smales, one of the exciting breed of younger men and women developing their career as long distance triathletes.  Elliot is a Yorshireman who has based himself in Leeds, a city that has developed a deserved reputation as the centre of triathlon in the UK, Europe and maybe even the world. Elliot was a member of the Yorkshire Triathlon academy who came to study at Leeds University and was part of the triathlon development squad. He dabbled in short course racing but at the age of 23 decided to have a go at a 70.3 event. In 2018 he turned pro and started to post some big wins including Ironman 70.3 Dun Laoghaire and 70.3 Staffs. In 2019 he also won Ironman 70.3 Sweden before deciding at the last minute to enter his first Ironman (Barcelona) just a few weeks after the 70.3 worlds in Nice, France. Elliot has certainly packed a lot into his relatively short triathlon career so far and we cover a lot of ground in this conversation including: Getting started in triathlon with Sheffield Tri Club and never forgetting the club spirit, even when you are a pro triathlete What it really takes to race long distance triathlon Why even no-drafting triathlon has ‘bike packs’, and the tactics involved in racing at the highest level Entering an Ironman event because your clubmates were having a party afterward Thinking that anyone can run a sub 2:40 marathon, when your longest run of the year is just 14 miles The financial reality of trying to make a living as a young professional triathlete  To find out more about Elliot and his training and racing exploits you can follow him on Twitter https://twitter.com/elliot_smales and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/elliot_smales/ You can watch the Pre Race interview that Elliot did before 2019 IM Staffs 70.2 HERE Watch Elliot riding his REAP bike in South Africa HERE To find out more about Simon’s SWAT programme, please click HERE  To comment on this podcast, please visit Simon's Facebook page HERE  Visit Simon's website for more information about his coaching programmes  For any questions please email Beth@TheTriathlonCoach.com

Turning Pro and Keeping Team Spirit * Simon Ward and Elliot Smales

Elliot Smales has dominated 70.3 racing in the UK this year, winning 70.3 Staffordshire, 70.3 Dun Laoghaire in Dublin (beating American Superstar Andy Potts) , and 70.3 Weymouth, and finishing a solid 4th in Edinburgh. We talk about his background, his success this year, and his experience racing at the World 70.3 Championships. He’s also refreshingly honest about his mindset to racing - we think you’ll be amazed to hear how even a triple 70.3 winning pro suffers from the same self doubt that we all experience!Elliot is sponsored by REAP bikes, HED wheels, HUUB wetsuits and Rotor powermeters (distributed by velotech. )Show Sponsors:Join the new Oxygenaddict Triathlon Community page on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/666558563716897/https://www.precisionhydration.com/ - Leaders in triathlete sweat testing and hydration, with multi-strength electrolytes that match how you sweat.
