Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard or seen about the eventful day at Ironman 70.3 Dallas for our very own Ari Klau. Today’s episode of the Road to Oceanside starts off with Justin & Jackson asking Ari all the questions you’ll want answered about the race and his iconic DNF. Ari gives a full race recap and week recap and then the boys go on to do the usual bike & run training talk with only 2 weeks to go until Ironman 70.3 Oceanside race day.

We are 3 weeks out from race day. Ari is doing a tune up race at Dallas 70.3 while Jackson & Justin are at home grinding away in training. After talking about their bike & run sessions + something they’re all working on in their swimming the boys then go through the key things they can do from here to make sure they race well at Oceanside and the things they need to avoid to not ruin their race.

Today’s podcast lifts the lid on a protocol the Norwegian triathletes, runners, cyclists & cross country skiers have been using over the past 10 years that the rest of the world hasn’t caught up with yet. If you take your training seriously and want an easy way to increase your VO2 max - this is the pod for you.

Shock news rocks the crew in the intro to start off this weeks episode of Road To Oceanside. After that the boys get stuck into their training weeks as always and then finish the show off by discussing the Norwegians and going deeper into the big announcement that was made to start the show.

Fred gives us the secrets you need in training to ride well over Ironman 70.3 and Ironman distance as well as giving the specifics of how you should be doing your ride intervals to maximise them. He tells us the #1 mistake he thinks everyone makes in their training and we discuss volume vs intensity. We then get educated on how to train for running as a triathlete with run session specifics, the marathon vs half marathon training differences, brick sessions and treadmill training vs outdoor training. Then we discuss his favourite athlete, who the 20m draft rule will help and hurt, who is the athlete to watch in 2026 and lots of other general triathlon chat!
