This week's episode is a rerun of Episode 511 - the incredible journey of Team Oxygenaddict's Allun Sutherland who went from complete beginner to Ironman Wales finisher in less than 12 months.
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!
