Talking Triathlon ·

2026/03/27

Sam Laidlow has kicked off a proper debate around TUEs, pushing for transparency and launching a petition to make the information public. We weigh in with our thoughts on TUEs in pro triathlon. At T100 Gold Coast, Taylor Knibb is back doing what she does, taking the win ahead of Jess Fullagar and Imogen Simmonds, even with the field already starting to thin out. Geelong 70.3 was ridiculous. Kristian Blummenfelt ran 1:06 to beat Jelle Geens and Hayden Wilde in a crazy, genuinely entertaining race

Talking Triathlon ·

2026/03/20

We kick things off with The Ultimate Triathlon Raffle, where James is closing in but still needs another £500, so the prize list has stepped up again. Lucy Charles-Barclay potentially racing the Commonwealth Games leads into a wider conversation, before we touch on Sam Laidlow's marathon. At 70.3 Dallas, Lionel Sanders is back to winning, which is impressive in itself, but even more so given he managed to lose 40 seconds in a 350m swim and still take the race. In Lanzarote, Georgia Taylor-Brown,

We then look at the updated PTO World Rankings and the impact of changes to how they are now measured.

2025/10/03

This week we dive into a packed show, starting with a look at the Kona “wild cards,” the women outside the obvious favourites who could still make a big impact on race day. We then turn to Jan Frodeno, who swapped triathlon for trail and did something special at the Nice Côte d’Azur by UTMB, winning his age group over the 55 km course in his debut appearance.

Talking Triathlon ·

2025/08/29

Jan Frodeno was meant to race UTMB but had not qualified, and the wildcard entry he received has seen him cop a wave of online criticism. We talk through why the reaction came so hard and what it says about the way the trail scene handles elite entries. From there we look at one of the wildest endurance feats of the year, South African runner Sibusiso Kubheka covering 100km in 5:59:20 at the Adidas “Chasing 100” event. It will not go down as an official world record, but breaking the six hour

This week we set the record straight on T100 Valencia after rumours that it was cancelled. Hayden Wilde is planning to race both the T100 Fréjus and the WTCS on the same weekend, after his comeback could this be one of the best seasons ever? Jan Frodeno’s UTMB bid might be on hold as it appears he hasn’t followed the qualification process properly.
