Ep 578Power Meters, Double Run Days & Swim Speed: Your IRONMAN Questions Answered | Ep 578
This week Coach Rob digs into listener emails, answering questions from athletes building toward their first Ironman. He covers whether a single-sided power meter is enough...Whether splitting your long run into two sessions is a good idea...How offshore workers with limited pool access can still make progress in the swim. Plus, Rob shares a real example of two athletes dropping 20 seconds per 100m in a single session through one targeted drill and explains why fitness alone won't make you faster in the water. Along the way, he reflects on why the advice you take matters just as much as the training you do, and why longevity in the sport should always come before chasing marginal gains.

Ep 573Six Months to IRONMAN: The Dark Art of Recovery (and Why Most Athletes Get This Wrong) | Ep 573
In this episode of the Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast, Coach Rob continues the Six Months to Ironman series with what may be the most important (and most misunderstood) principle in Ironman training.Recovery.Most athletes believe fitness is built by doing more. More sessions. More intensity. More volume.And this scuppers so many Ironman performances.You’ll learn:Why fitness adaptations happen during recovery, not trainingHow poor recovery suppresses immunity, motivation, and performanceWhat a proper recovery week actually looks like (and why most people get it wrong)How illness, fatigue, and burnout are often self-inflicted through overtrainingWhy resting when you want to train most is a hallmark of a mature Ironman athleteHow to structure recovery so you arrive at race day feeling strong, fresh, and readyRob also shares real-world coaching insights from working with hundreds of Ironman and 70.3 athletes, including why winter illness spikes are often a red flag for excessive training stress.This episode is essential listening if:You’re training for your first Ironman or 70.3You constantly feel tired, run-down, or “flat” in trainingYou struggle emotionally with rest days or recovery weeksYou want to maximise results without increasing training hours* * * * * * *SPONSORS* * * * * * * *Thinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?

Ep 572Six Months to IRONMAN: Smarter Swim Training for Busy Age-Groupers | Ep 572
If you’re coming into triathlon from running or cycling, you’ve probably assumed swimming works the same way:The more you swim, the faster you get.Nope!In this episode of our Six Months to Ironman series, Coach Rob explains why most age-group triathletes are not fitness-limited in the water, they’re technique-limited… and why that’s actually good news, because it means you can make big gains without adding endless extra swim volume.This episode is aimed at the adult-onset swimmer: the busy Ironman or 70.3 athlete who feels like their aerobic fitness from the bike & run doesn’t translate in the pool, and how to fix that.We cover:Why swimming is more analogous to gold or tennis than running or bikingThe “more swimming” trap that keeps slower swimmers stuck and embeds bad habitsA useful benchmark: why ~7:00 per 400m is often the point where technique becomes the biggest leverHow to build endurance without letting fatigue wreck your stroke How to identify your single biggest limiter with simple cuesThe order to fix your swim: breathing → balance → propulsionSimple, high-impact drills including:Sink-downs + “bubble” exhale for breathingFist drill for catch and feel of the waterThe “Waltz / Unco drill” to connect rotation, hips, and propulsionThis episode will help swimming stop being the IRONMAN discipline you dread, and help turn it into one of your main strengths in a matter of months!* * * * * * *SPONSORS* * * * * * * *Thinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?

Ep 571Six Months to IRONMAN: Run Training Explained | Ep 571
Most Ironman athletes don’t fail in the marathon because they’re bad runners. They fail because they misunderstand what the Ironman run actually is.In this episode of our Six Months to Ironman series, Coach Rob breaks down exactly how to train to run well at the end of an Ironman, based on 15+ years of IRONMAN coaching experience and hundreds, if not thousands of successful first-time finishers.This is not about getting faster at 5K or 10K. It’s about fatigue resistance, durability, and delivering a strong marathon after a long swim and bike.In this episode, you'll learn:Why Ironman running is endurance-limited, not speed-limitedWhy great standalone runners often struggle badly off the bikeThe single biggest mistake age-groupers make with long runsWhy traditional “Sunday long runs” can sabotage your Ironman buildHow the 9 / 1 run-walk strategy improves performance (and isn’t a beginner tactic)How to pace your long runs properly using easy pace, not marathon paceWhy running slower in training actually leads to a faster Ironman marathonHow to structure your week so run training doesn’t wreck your bike and recoveryThe mindset shift that allows you to run strongly in the final 10K while others fall apartIf your goal is to finish your Ironman marathon feeling strong, controlled, and still running while the field around you is reduced to walking, this episode will completely change how you view run training.* * * * * * *SPONSORS* * * * * * * *Thinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?
