I also work full time in the NHS as a doctor.<br/>Anyway after two pregnancies just in time for the start of Covid that bone, after 9 years healed! So I started running in Covid.<br/>We moved out of london in 2022 and at the end of 2023 I decided that 2024 would be the year I tried to do a triathlon. Started with a pool based swim one and…..won my age group, I had already left before the awards as it just didn’t even occur to me that I could have won!<br/>Through British triathlon I got assessed and was given a paratriathlon classification of PTS5. My second ever race was the British paratriathlon championships where I won silver (behind the awesome Claire Cashmore), and went on to win gold in 2025. Alongside earning myself aQT for both Europeans and worlds age group aquathlon championships where I came 7th and 11th respectively- not bad for a para athlete in an able bodied field.<br/>I have also now won the British paraduathlon championships in 2025 and 2026.<br/>All para stuff is sprint or super sprint. My goals for this year are to try some longer distances - I am doing the escape from Alcatraz triathlon (a bucket list item I didn’t know I wanted ) a standard distance triathlon and duathlon. And maybe take on a 70.3 next year.<br/>Also new for this year British triathlon have just published QTs for para-entry at multisport events so watch this space on that one.<br/>I’m also hoping to do the world aquathlon championships in Abu Dhabi in November, and trying to get a QT in aquathlon, sprint and standard distance duathlon for Edmonton.<br/>I’m also a mum to 6 and 10 year old boys. And yes, my life is completely bonkers!<br/>I think it would be interesting as a para-athlete in the age group team which is quite unusual and not too many of us! <br/>I also get swimming induced pulmonary oedema to add to the complexity of things!<br/>But also im still really new to the sport which I hope would inspire others.&quot;</p><p>you can follow Sophie on instagram @doctorsophie82</p><p>You Can Follow us  on<br/><br/>YouTube - AMP GB<br/><br/>Instagram @amp_podcast<br/><br/>Facebook : Richard Joseph Conway<br/><br/>find all our episodes on our website<br/><br/>Website is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/<br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com</p><p>You Can buy the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - <a href='https://www.amazon.com/1001-TRIATHLON-TIPS-essential-triathlon-ebook/dp/B0GX39Z7P5/ref=zg_bsnr_g_16592_d_sccl_10/141-4765249-6496905?psc=1'>https://www.amazon.com/1001-TRIATHLON-TIPS-essential-triathlon-ebook/dp/B0GX39Z7P5/ref=zg_bsnr_g_16592_d_sccl_10/141-4765249-6496905?psc=1</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

And yes, my life is completely bonkers!<br/>I think it would be interesting as a para-athlete in the age group team which is quite unusual and not too many of us! <br/>I also get swimming induced pulmonary oedema to add to the complexity of things!<br/>But also im still really new to the sport which I hope would inspire others.&quot;</p><p>you can follow Sophie on instagram @doctorsophie82</p><p>You Can Follow us  on<br/><br/>YouTube - AMP GB<br/><br/>Instagram @amp_podcast<br/><br/>Facebook : Richard Joseph Conway<br/><br/>find all our episodes on our website<br/><br/>Website is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/<br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com</p><p>You Can buy the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - <a href='https://www.amazon.com/1001-TRIATHLON-TIPS-essential-triathlon-ebook/dp/B0GX39Z7P5/ref=zg_bsnr_g_16592_d_sccl_10/141-4765249-6496905?psc=1'>https://www.amazon.com/1001-TRIATHLON-TIPS-essential-triathlon-ebook/dp/B0GX39Z7P5/ref=zg_bsnr_g_16592_d_sccl_10/141-4765249-6496905?psc=1</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to our latest Agegroup Guest Claire Williams, Claire says</p><p>&quot;I used to swim as a child and continued to do so up until I went to university. At university, swimming and all sports in general went out the window and was replaced with drinking, socialising and general craziness!! With all that came a lot of weight gain. Fast forward a few years and I met my then husband to be and wanted to lose weight for our wedding.  My friend suggested a Chester tri swim session of which I dragged myself to and thoroughly enjoyed. This led to volunteering for the Tri clubs local events. While doing volunteering i saw how much variety in ability there was and for me personally at that time, the various body shapes of the people competing which actually inspired me to give it a go! My first triathlon was in 2013 at Nantwich (UK Triathlon) and i was completely hooked!!! I bought a new (heavy) second hand bike and cheap wetsuit and my next race was booked! From there i&apos;ve been lucky that we have the fantastic Deva triathlon and Deva divas triathlon on our doorstep, run by our wonderful Chester tri club, so have competed at those multiple times. Where is started to get really interesting is when someone suggested that i could qualify for the age group GB team. i never thought in a millon years that this would be possible or that i stood a chance, but I give it a go to my surprise I qualified for Rotterdam (sprint). After that incredible experience, I was even more inspired to try again and since then have competed at both sprint and standard distances on the Gold Coast, Glasgow and Lausanne. After the Gold Coast, I decided to enter my first competitive 70.3 in Majorca. Having no expectations I went into this a little bit blind and naive. However after the most incredible race I managed to finish in 5.03 And literally handful of seconds behind third place. This lit the fire With regards to 70.3 racing and I felt as though I had a score to settle in Majorca so we headed back after Covid in October 21. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite manage to beat that five hour mark and at the time I was extremely upset but couldn’t figure out Why I was so emotional about it. Fast forward another week and I found out I was actually seven weeks pregnant when I did that race and that was probably why I was feeling so emotional!! And that’s when my life, with regards to triathlon has completely changed. Having a child gives you new perspective and priorities in life and our daughter is always going to be the priority, She is our complete world. That said triathlon is still who we are and what we do and me and my partner continue to train and race as much as we can. Since Having my daughter, I was determined to get back to the routine and structure so entered my first race back which was a local sprint triathlon in which I won my age group which is a nice bonus. This gave me the confidence to push on so with unfinished business at 70.3 I entered Weymouth and Swansea with the intention to qualify for the 70.3 world championships. Luckily, I got that qualification early at Swansea which took the pressure off Weymouth. So that brings us to the present day after competing at the ironman 70.3 world champs in Marbella, which was an insane experience. Unfortunately, due to A mechanical this race didn’t go quite to plan so in terms of performance it was my worst 70.3 that I have ever done but in terms of enjoyment of the race and atmosphere, nothing will come close. `&apos;</p><p>you can find Clare on social media @</p><p><br/></p><p>Instagram- @triathloncoachclaire</p><p>Facebook - Clairewilliams</p><p>websites - <a href='https://optimumhealthcoaching.com/'>https://optimumhealthcoaching.com/</a></p><p>                   <a href='https://adaptedlife.co.uk/triathlon-team/'>https://adaptedlife.co.uk/triathlon-team/</a></p><p>You Can Follow us  on<br/><br/>YouTube - AMP GB<br/><br/>Instagram @amp_podcast<br/><br/>Facebo</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

I spent a good few years not doing anything sporting, this led to weight gain (not helped by being a chef) and a new lifestyle of tv watching and not doing much. </p><p><br/></p><p>I took up road cycling with my head chef to get me into a bit of better shape, we were in a similar position and both wanted to better ourselves, this saw me complete my &quot;firsts&quot; as a cyclist (50 mile and 100mile) all for charity and supporting our local work community. 2018 I got knocked off the bike by a car and the road bike was retired as I had no confidence to be in the road. Covid 19 arrives and I was placed in furlough from work, I took up mountain biking which with some friends as we could do this around the rules in place, I went on to race enduro and some stage races before injury ended that, just as I was set to go back to work. </p><p><br/></p><p>8 months followed where I wasn&apos;t cycling and I started to put weight back on, this came as I met someone online who ran a charity who wanted a rider to do LEJOG with them, so I decided to give the road cycling one last go, and this is where it all changed. </p><p><br/></p><p>From here my cycling became everything, even more so when I split up from my ex-girlfriend. Full focus was on me, and this led to sponsorships and racing road bike time trials nationally for Reflex Nopinz RT. Endurance cycling has always been my enjoyment side, with multiple ultra rides in the bag and charity events such as 24 hour rides and everestings. With a successful year on the bike, some health issues meant being off the bike from August 2025, this is where the running started. </p><p><br/></p><p>A client I coach wanted to enter Devon Duathlon, so I said to help train her I would enter it also, I had no expectations going into the event, but registered my indent for age group qualification to give me the extra focus to train. My debut duathlon after 8 weeks of running training, it was never going to be a smooth and perfect race but I gave my all - and here we are, planning on how to train and get set to represent GB Age Group in Abu Dhabi in 2026.&quot;</p><p><br/></p><p>congratulations on qualifying and thanks for sharing your journey.</p><p>follow Aidan at AKCoachingfitness.co.uk</p><p>Insta page is @akcoachingfitness</p><p>You Can Follow us  on<br/><br/>YouTube - AMP GB<br/><br/>Instagram @amp_podcast<br/><br/>Facebook : Richard Joseph Conway<br/><br/>find all our episodes on our website<br/><br/>Website is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/<br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/>If you are an agegroup athlete and would like to come on the pod, get in touch.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

Covid 19 arrives and I was placed in furlough from work, I took up mountain biking which with some friends as we could do this around the rules in place, I went on to race enduro and some stage races before injury ended that, just as I was set to go back to work. </p><p><br/></p><p>8 months followed where I wasn&apos;t cycling and I started to put weight back on, this came as I met someone online who ran a charity who wanted a rider to do LEJOG with them, so I decided to give the road cycling one last go, and this is where it all changed. </p><p><br/></p><p>From here my cycling became everything, even more so when I split up from my ex-girlfriend. Full focus was on me, and this led to sponsorships and racing road bike time trials nationally for Reflex Nopinz RT. Endurance cycling has always been my enjoyment side, with multiple ultra rides in the bag and charity events such as 24 hour rides and everestings. With a successful year on the bike, some health issues meant being off the bike from August 2025, this is where the running started. </p><p><br/></p><p>A client I coach wanted to enter Devon Duathlon, so I said to help train her I would enter it also, I had no expectations going into the event, but registered my indent for age group qualification to give me the extra focus to train. My debut duathlon after 8 weeks of running training, it was never going to be a smooth and perfect race but I gave my all - and here we are, planning on how to train and get set to represent GB Age Group in Abu Dhabi in 2026.&quot;</p><p><br/></p><p>congratulations on qualifying and thanks for sharing your journey.</p><p>follow Aidan at AKCoachingfitness.co.uk</p><p>Insta page is @akcoachingfitness</p><p>You Can Follow us  on<br/><br/>YouTube - AMP GB<br/><br/>Instagram @amp_podcast<br/><br/>Facebook : Richard Joseph Conway<br/><br/>find all our episodes on our website<br/><br/>Website is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/<br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/>If you are an agegroup athlete and would like to come on the pod, get in touch.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Big thanks to our guest Joe Simpson for coming on the pod and saying his journey.</p><p>Joe says &quot;I&apos;ve always been active and involved in sport from a young age, thanks to a very supportive family who always tried to give me and my brother the best opportunities to be successful. I grew up in York and swam often when I could doing well in local events at the pool that we swam at.  I&apos;ve ridden bikes from a young age and can remember seeing videos of me running at small events when my Dad was doing 10K&apos;s on the same day. However, the sport of football and later cricket were around and when we left York to where my parents are now still near Malton, I joined local teams and the swimming especially stopped.</p><p>I did a charity triathlon which was very small and low key around 2008 I think. I enjoyed that, but never really carried on with it after, something I wish I had. We had Dalby Forest on our doorstep and could mountain bike there loads. Still did the occasional low key run event, Bramham Park was a particular favourite. </p><p>Moving forwards a few years to 2017, I was at uni in Leeds and the sport of triathlon was starting to become a bit more of a thing. I remember watching the World series in Leeds the year before and my Dad saying &apos;why are we not there&apos;. I was at Leeds Beckett and had seen plenty of the GB team around so I looked into the 2017 race and entered the go tri and haven&apos;t looked back since. I got hooked and did other local races around the North Yorkshire area and minus the covid year, always did the Leeds weekend with my mum and dad, it&apos;s such a shame that it got moved from there.  I enjoyed seeing my times improving, parkrun also has helped so much with this.  </p><p>Two events at Leeds really made me think hmm I like this were in 2019 and 2022.  I won my age group in the 2019 race and was 4th in the Yorkshire champs in 2022. In 2019 I first heard the words &apos;GB age group&apos; and can remember over taking plenty of GB suits along the way. I had a few personal challenges that year and really doubted my self in my work life and relationship life so this race was a good distraction. The 2022 event I was now involved with Craven energy (CE) tri club in Skipton where I am still now and having a great time. I would have been Yorkshire champion that year or at least top 3, but my bike seat fell off and that lost me the 10 minutes I finished behind the winner with. That year the head coach at CE really spoke loads to me about age group racing. I did a few qualifiers in triathlon but never got anywhere. I was going to try again in 2023 at Leeds but then it was taken to Sunderland, I didn&apos;t go.  </p><p><br/></p><p>I tried duathlon, as by then my run for 5K had come down from 26.30- sub 19, it&apos;s now 17:55 and I&apos;m aiming to break 17:30 by the end of the year. I went to Darley Moor in 2023 and qualified on a roll down slot for Portugal 2024. That was my proudest sporting moment and along with graduation, proudest life moment. My parents and girlfriend made it into a nice trip and I certainly enjoyed the experience. I&apos;ve never come from a rich family, I&apos;ve just got parents who have worked hard but not just given me and my brother things without us working for them, especially now. The cost of GB racing is a lot so I make sure I work around it all well with my work as an outdoor instructor. I&apos;m around great people and really am looking forward to the euros next year in 2026 wherever they may be, just need the final conformation  now. My main goal in this sport is to try take it as far as I can. I&apos;m enjoying the process very much and seeing my running times now down where they are shows me that my hard work is working.&quot;</p><p>Good luck to Joe in the future you can follow his journey on Instagram @joed_simpson</p><p>You Can Follow us  on<br/><br/>YouTube - AMP GB<br/><br/>Instagram @amp_1967<br/><br/>Facebook : AMPGB</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

I struggled to get in the school football team until I was about 14 when I finally started to grow &amp; bulk up a bit &amp; found myself able to muscle my way about a bit more.<br/>After school, I continued with sport at college, mainly squash and then found myself encouraged into joining the Dept water polo team as they were looking for new additions. Now that was an eye opener. My first game I only played the 2 nd half and I was absolutely knackered by the end, so much so, I slipped and slid from top to bottom on the stairs to the changing rooms. I thought squash was tough till I got involved in water polo – the toughest sport I’ve ever done.<br/><br/>After college I ended up working in the coal mining industry. My sporting life was mainly darts around that time. I later joined a Sunday League type football team and also found myself involved in the works cricket team.<br/>Between the age of 28 and 58 any remotely sporting connections I had were limited to recreational activities with the kids such as mountain bike rides on trails, not roads.<br/>Over the 30 years my weight had gradually risen from below 11 stone and 32” waist to almost 15 stone and a near 40” waist. Then out of the blue in August 2018, Karen announced to me that she was going to do something called “Couch to 5k”. What the hell is that, I thought. Well I soon found out as I was seconded to a support role, which basically meant I was doing it too. My initial response was to say to Karen that I’d probably run about 50 yards and collapse. <br/><br/>By May 2019, Id lost about 4.5 stone in weight.<br/>9th June 2019 finally arrived &amp; that was the start of my triathlon pursuit. <br/><br/>Southport Triathlon was only my 2nd Standard Triathlon and my first-ever qualifier.<br/>And so, the GB Age Group experience was about to begin in 2022 eventually named as in a place called Olsztyn in Poland. Having submitted a sprint<br/>result for European and World Triathlon events, I also qualified for Montreal World Sprint Tri  a as last gap spot for Munich Europeans Sprint Tri, which I had desperately wanted to do, for the trip to Munich, as city we came to fall in love with.<br/>For Olsztyn in May 2022 I managed to finish a totally unexpected 2nd place in the 60-64 Age Group.<br/><br/>Since that very first event, I’ve gone on to do a total of 16 GB starts including mixed team relays, 4 events in 2022, 3 events in 2023 including another silver in the Europeans Standard Tri (converted to standard duathlon) and 9 events in 2024 including a silver in the<br/>European Middle Distance Duahtlon in Alsdorf and 2 bronzes in the Europeans in Vichy.<br/>As mentioned in the show we have been nominated <br/>Finalist in the Sports Podcast Awards 2025 please vote using the link below.<br/><br/><a href='https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/shortlist-category/'>https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/shortlist-category/</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

Training was slow to start with but I persevered and finished in a time of 1hr 34m. Those in the know told me that that was a good time for a newbie so then decision was taken to give this running lark a go. I joined my local running club, Woking AC, and was soon taking part in a number of local road races. By 1986 In had built up my training volume to have a crack at the full marathon distance. I chose the 1986 Abingdon marathon to pop my marathon cherry and finished in a time of 2hrs 54m. That time gave me the incentive to pursue marathon running as my preferred distance and in 1987 my crowning glory came at the London Marathon when I clocked 2hrs 42m. I then set my sights on breaking the 2hrs 40m barrier but all those weeks of 100 mile training took their toll and it was a case of managing one lower leg injury after another.<br/>My road running days were not what they used to be but rescue came in the form of a running magazine article on this new fangled sport called triathlon. I could clearly run a bit and always enjoyed swimming and could ride a bike so why not give it ago? I entered the Wokingham Try a Tri sprint triathlon in 1989. I. I can’t recall my time but I must have enjoyed it because some 35 years later I am still competing in triathlon and multisport.<br/><br/>In 2009 not only my triathlon World but my Whole World collapsed around me. It turned out that I had suffered a major bilateral pulmonary embolism preceded by a blood clot that had found its way into both of my lungs. Needless to<br/>say my triathlon days were put on hold.<br/><br/>In good time I got back into something like normal training but didn’t compete until 2014 when, on a whim, I entered the Hever Castle sprint triathlon. To my<br/>astonishment I came home with an age group win and another trophy for the cabinet! I continued to train and compete at a reasonable standard but in 2016 at age 62 I decided that I had achieved everything I wanted to achieve in the sport and called it a day. Or so I thought!<br/>Turning the clock forward to 2019 and the onset of covid, I was still working full time but without any sporting activity for about three years or so I had managed to put on almost four stone over my normal racing weight of ten stone. I was soon working from home and the temptation to go out for a run in the vain hope of losing weight became too strong. <br/>As the weight melted away I discovered that I was pretty useful on the bike and the run so much so that within a year I had qualified for and competed in the World Duathlon Championships in Aviles. Other championship events followed in Bilbao, Ibiza and more recently, Coimbra where I achieved my best ever finish of fifth place and third Brit home in the 70-74 age group. <br/><br/>I have my eyes on a 70.3 event in 2026, possibly Jeselo, and in 2027 I would hope<br/>to qualify for the World multisport championships in Edmonton, Canada. I also want to experiment with aquabike and aquathlon. <br/><br/>You Can Follow us  on<br/> Instagram @amp_1967<br/><br/>X : agegroupmultisportpodcast<br/><br/>Facebook : AMPGB<br/><br/>find all our episodes on our website<br/><br/>or our YouTube Channel AMP GB<br/><br/>Website is : <a href='https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/'>https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/</a><br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

(Yes, I struggle to say no to things!!).

(Yes, I struggle to say no to things!!).

Sport is my hobby and I love it. I have run from a small age, my first run I remember was a 1.5 mile road race when I was about 12 and then the school cross country races on the sand dunes in Irvine with the wind battering me. That didn’t put me off and I did my first half marathon at 17 and the London Marathon at 21.  My main achievements to date are completing the triple crown in 2022 – the Highland Fling, West Highland Way ultra and Devil O’ the Highlands races, completing Celtman solo extreme triathlon and representing GBR in the European Duathlon Championships. </p><p>I run because I enjoy it. It’s an escape from the real world and I get thinking space. I love the outdoors and this gives me a chance to see some amazing scenery. I always run on holiday (at the request of the family) as I find all the great places we can go adventuring to later. I’m also quite competitive and enjoy the races…the muddier the better! I’m a role model to my children and others showing that us girls / mums can do these things and inspire the next generation.</p><p>My best and worst run moments: My children being at the end of my ultra races and running with me to cross the finish line, they are my inspiration and love seeing their faces as I near the end. Worst was when I had an undetected stress fracture in my foot which eventually broke, 3 operations over 3 years until it healed and was told at one point I’d never run again.</p><p>In my spare time I coach, I was a tennis coach for 20 years until injury struck but I have now retrained and qualified as a personal trainer, running and triathlon coach with Glasgow Triathlon Club.

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>On this episode we have the pleasure to chat to Anne Dockery.<br/><br/> Truly inspirational story that Anne shares after listening to several of our other podcasts and being inspired herself to get in touch and share her journey.<br/><br/>Anne Says &quot;I started running when I was 55 as I had been a heavy smoker and I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Had just married an American who suggested I run to strengthen my lungs. So I did and that was the start of an amazing adventure. I ran many local races and did quite well. Runners in Florida turn to triathlons in the hot summer months and I was persuaded to tackle my first triathlon when  I was 63. On my husbands huge bike and being terrified of the swim in the lagoon. But I survived and even won my age group. My coach was a lady of 70+ and she is still doing triathlons.<br/>It was wonderful in the warmth of Florida and I tackled quite a few fun events but I dreamt of representing GB. Whilst visiting my mum in Yorkshire I decided to find a triathlon and the only one I found was a British championship race at ST Neots. I bought a wetsuit that week and tried it in an indoor swim pool and thought I would die! <br/>At st Neaots I had a lot of issues but I got into the water and I managed to get out of the water having felt like a minnow amongst the tarpon when the 40 year old men came by!! I could hardly haul myself out of the river and wondered how on earth I would get on my bike. I had an audience cheering me on as I tried to extricate myself from the wetsuit…took 7 1/2 minutes!  I was frozen solid on the bike ride and the bike I hired was far from ideal. I was needless to say, next to last! But I would not have missed this race for anything. So thrilled to have finished. It was my 65th birthday the next day,.<br/>My next attempt was a little more successful. I wanted to qualify for the Worlds sprint triathlon in Mexico 2017 as it was a quick flight from Florida so I headed to the Dorney Sprint Triathlon May 2016 qualifier . This time I had friends to support me. What a difference. I was last out of the swim: again the hired bike left a lot to be desired but I ran well and came second in my age group .  So I qualified!!!<br/>Back in Florida I went to masters swimming twice a week  in hopes of improving. 10/10 for trying! <br/>However was forced out of the swim in Mexico 2017 . I knew I was going slowly but was perfectly capable of keeping on to the end so was spitting mad when they told me I had to come out. I was allowed to finish the course which brought other benefits and ,later, I learnt the currents had changed and were becomingb dangerous. Hence my removal, along with a few others. I would not have missed this wonderful experience for anything. <br/>Back in UK in 2018 I discovered Duathlons. I qualified at Oulton Park duathlon in april 2018 and found my self heading to Worlds in FYn …<br/>I had bought a new bike and booked with Nirvana and off I went in July. I did not know anyone! But in short time I had a whole new family of friends. The joy of being with lots of wonderful like minded people. I had no expectations . Long story short…no one was more amazed than me when I WON!! WOW!! What an amazing moment . Still get shivers down my spine.<br/><br/>From  there I went on to come 4th in the Sprint duathlon in Targu Mures in 2022 because I ran an extra lap! The winner lapped me on the bike although we were neck and neck on the first run.  My next task was to get better on the bike and I am still working on that.<br/>I then turned to Standard Duathlons and came 3rd in 70-74 in Bilbao behind two amazing athletes, Elspeth Knott and Yvonne Twelvetree .<br/>In 2023 I hit the big time again in Standard duathlon age group 75 -79 winning the Europeans and once again winning Worlds. Hard to believe. <br/>2024. I have qualified for the European Standard in Portugal but best of all I am goingb to Malaga to have a shot at actually finishing a sprint</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

It has made me determined and has given me so many opportunities and a real sense of belonging and identity.

I want to inspire others, of all abilities, to want to lead a healthy, active lifestyle and to be the best version of themselves that they can be. I love helping people, creating personalised plans and sessions and seeing people improve, be it their fitness, mental health or confidence.

I live in Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire, having settled here in 2017 after leaving the RAF following 34 years service. I now work for Leidos UK Defence  division basically as an MOD logistics contractor - it’s busy!<br/>I started multisport in 2002 after becoming frustrated during a military training course that involved running and swimming. I’d be the fastest runner but slowest swimmer virtually drowning actually<br/><br/>I’ve race for RAF Triathlon for many years but now represent Newcastle Staffs Tri Club (NTC). <br/>I’ve had some UK age group success, with some national podiums and a win at the 2011 National Middle Distance Tri champs at Emberton Park (yes, I know Jon Cowell!). </p><p>I’ve had some RAF representation also. Dabbled at Ironman distance, winning my age group at the 2014 Outlaws event. Races in Almere at the 2008 World Long Dist Championships and survived an aweful 4K swim to do well on the bike/run. </p><p>Went through some turmoil after leaving the RAF and that impacted my multisport ambitions - but I kept going. </p><p>Now focusing on Duathlon as I lost my swim mojo during COVID. Had a rejuvenated 2023 by getting in some balances training and qualified for the European Sprint Duathlon Champs at Darley Moor. Ran a 37:31 10k, 18:09 5k and a 57:46 25 mile bike TT.

Mark got in touch via e mail and wrote:<br/><br/>My name is Mark Saggers and I am 59 years young. I move into the 60-64 Age Cat in 2024. I live in Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire, having settled here in 2017 after leaving the RAF following 34 years service. I now work for Leidos UK Defence  division basically as an MOD logistics contractor - it’s busy!<br/>I started multisport in 2002 after becoming frustrated during a military training course that involved running and swimming. I’d be the fastest runner but slowest swimmer virtually drowning actually<br/><br/>I’ve race for RAF Triathlon for many years but now represent Newcastle Staffs Tri Club (NTC). <br/>I’ve had some UK age group success, with some national podiums and a win at the 2011 National Middle Distance Tri champs at Emberton Park (yes, I know Jon Cowell!). </p><p>I’ve had some RAF representation also. Dabbled at Ironman distance, winning my age group at the 2014 Outlaws event. Races in Almere at the 2008 World Long Dist Championships and survived an aweful 4K swim to do well on the bike/run. </p><p>Went through some turmoil after leaving the RAF and that impacted my multisport ambitions - but I kept going. </p><p>Now focusing on Duathlon as I lost my swim mojo during COVID. Had a rejuvenated 2023 by getting in some balances training and qualified for the European Sprint Duathlon Champs at Darley Moor. Ran a 37:31 10k, 18:09 5k and a 57:46 25 mile bike TT.

He lived there up until he was around 14 when he moved to the UK.<br/><br/>He says he joined the Cross country skiing club in Finland between the ages of 10-11 yrs old, &quot;not very quick&quot;,he  stopped when he moved to UK<br/><br/></div><div>Through his Dad he started Orienteering at Berkshire Orienteers when he was 13-14 yrs old, stopped because of migraines and it was uncool.<br/><br/></div><div>Thomas started Rowing/sculling at Reading Rowing Club when he was 15-18 yrs old, crazy training but still not quick, stopped because of anaemia &amp; adrenal fatigue.<br/><br/></div><div>When he went to Bath University he found Triathlon he enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the club his training was unstructured, but he did a lot of reading up on training and nutrition &amp; getting healthy again.<br/><br/></div><div>He tried out short &amp; middle distance, but liked the &apos;puzzle&apos; of ironman (i.e. it&apos;s not just about who has the highest threshold). His  first ironman was Outlaw age group win aged 19 in 2017.<br/><br/></div><div>Potent, low volume training 2018 helped him at the  Denmark long distance worlds where he came 4th M20-24 &amp; Ironman Wales 2nd M18-24. He then prioritised his education taking 2 years &quot;off&quot; as degree was getting tough, no spare time.

Putting a slightly younger perspective on nutrition and training, as well as the usual, background story and journey into multisport.<br/><br/><br/>Thomas was born in Finland and is Half Finnish on his Mothers side. He lived there up until he was around 14 when he moved to the UK.<br/><br/>He says he joined the Cross country skiing club in Finland between the ages of 10-11 yrs old, &quot;not very quick&quot;,he  stopped when he moved to UK<br/><br/></div><div>Through his Dad he started Orienteering at Berkshire Orienteers when he was 13-14 yrs old, stopped because of migraines and it was uncool.<br/><br/></div><div>Thomas started Rowing/sculling at Reading Rowing Club when he was 15-18 yrs old, crazy training but still not quick, stopped because of anaemia &amp; adrenal fatigue.<br/><br/></div><div>When he went to Bath University he found Triathlon he enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the club his training was unstructured, but he did a lot of reading up on training and nutrition &amp; getting healthy again.<br/><br/></div><div>He tried out short &amp; middle distance, but liked the &apos;puzzle&apos; of ironman (i.e. it&apos;s not just about who has the highest threshold). His  first ironman was Outlaw age group win aged 19 in 2017.<br/><br/></div><div>Potent, low volume training 2018 helped him at the  Denmark long distance worlds where he came 4th M20-24 &amp; Ironman Wales 2nd M18-24. He then prioritised his education taking 2 years &quot;off&quot; as degree was getting tough, no spare time. Thomas continued with Sprint sessions only, but lost a lot of fitness.<br/><br/></div><div>as the Pandemic hit, while writing thesis, restarted training, new plan: only two training zones. Thomas won Hever Castle Bastion 2021 while working as an engineer. <br/>Led 255 &apos;ultra triathlon&apos; but DNF&apos;d, controversy around results.

I was always an active child, I always had lots of energy and if I didn’t exercise it out then I think I could be considered a pain in the arse which to be fair is not to dissimilar to now! I would always be out on my bike or over the park playing football after school which I know now makes me sound like one of them old moaning generation but that is how it was back then! Ride to the park, play football or tennis and get back for dinner. I started playing rugby at 6 or 7 years of age but I think then the youngest team started at under 8s or 9s so I was allowed unofficially to join in training with my brothers team but not play until I was older to start legally. There was something I really loved about rugby. I think it was the pure physicality of tackling. I was reasonably good (even if I do say so myself!) but football was always the cooler sport in my mind as that’s what all my school mates played and we would even play that after rugby whilst our parents were all chatting and having a beer in the clubhouse. I started playing football in little league on a Saturday and rugby on Sundays. </p><p>By complete chance I got a new Guvnor on my watch at work who used to race as an age grouper for GB at triathlon. She mentioned it to me a few times but I kind of palmed it off as I hadn’t swam really other than messing about on holidays since my parents used to take me to swim club as a child. <br/><br/>The more I raced the more I chased that buzz! I applied for a GB slot for the 1st time in 2015 and took part in the European long distance triathlon championships. I had loads of friends and family come to support me. I was so proud putting on that GB suit!<br/><br/>With covid and the going through a divorce and now sharing custody 50-50 off my son, racing has had to take a back seat for a while! I do really miss it and can’t wait to put on a GB suit again one day! I think the time away has probably made me hungrier!

From 11 I gradually picked up the other events of the Modern Pentathlon  - shooting, swimming and horse-riding, until I was doing full Pentathlons at 16. I started taking the sport more seriously at University and won my first international appearance in 1997. From then I competed at 2 European Championships and 3 World Championships as a Pentathlete. My last year in the sport was 2002, when I was National Champion and finished 24th at worlds.</p><p><br/></p><p>In 2002 I started my job as a lawyer, working in the sports industry, so retired from Pentathlon and decided to focus on just running. I became a 1500m runner and my best year was 2007 when I made the National final, ran 3.42 and a sub 4 mile. I moved up to 5000m a year or so after that and ran a 13.58 5,000m and got a Great Britain vest on the road.</p><p><br/></p><p>From my md thirties I suffered with a few injuries and was back in the pool trying to keep fit and also doing a bit of cycling, but nothing structured. Alongside my running, I entered a few triathlons from about 2016 and in 2017 I went to the world standard distance champs in Rotterdam and got a bronze in the 40-44 age group. In 2018 I also won a silver at the european sprint. I was still also competing as a runner and in 2019 I won the european 1500m title as a v40 in Italy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Obviously the last couple of years have been hugely disrupted with COVID. I have also had some medical advice that I have to run a lot less as I had a hip operation in 2015 and my cartliage has degenerated more since then. However, I have started working with a coach to improve my bike, which is my weakest event and have seen some big gains this winter.

David had quite a few knock backs along the way but through 15 years of hard work and perseverance he achieved more than he  ever thought possible.  He  hope this inspires school kids who don’t feel encouraged at school sport or those later in life who might think it’s too late to start – it’s not!.

David says he  was the skinny, scrawny, non athletic kid who was picked last. No wonder he hated the weekly sports sessions.  His  school sport focused on the sporty kids  and he was never given the chance to try something he might be good at and thus never got motivated. his build was suited to running but he doesn’t remember much running other than short track which needs power. The one time we did cross country he surprised himself by doing quite well and was encouraged by it only to be knocked down again</p><p>After a surprising result at cross country and think maybe running is for him.  So he stuck his hand up to be in the house team at school sports day and get put in the 400m. Well little did he know then that 400m is a very different race from endurance cross country – it’s all running right?. He  came last and was told by classmates in no uncertain terms that he had let them down,  they knew they should have never have picked me.  The faint flickering flame of love for sport was extinguished that day and he never ran again until he was 41 years old. </p><p>David went through life not doing any sport  due to a deep ingrained belief that he was not made for it.<br/>Then at the age of 40 his wife  decided to do a triathlon. David  took the kids to watch and saw that there were all sorts of people competing. That and the fact she had gone from doing nothing to getting a good result was inspiring. The finishing is winning ethos of triathlon was  particularly appealing and it didn’t matter if you came last. David  signed up for the September 2007  Sevenoaks triathlon and started training. As he still had a sporting inferiority complex He states he did train quite a bit and as a result surprised himself and came in well under his 2 hour target<br/><br/>David now had the bug,  so  started to sign up for some races and steadily improved. </p><p>After a good set of results and some podiums, in 2013 I entered the GB Duathlon Championship. This was also a qualifier for the Duathlon World championship David came 7th in  age group but that was good enough to qualify as some of those above me were not GB eligible. He was over the moon and felt that the chance to compete at the Worlds in a GB trisuit with his name on it was prize enough.

The run coach at Clayton at the time was a superb guy , he did the speed work sessions and really helped Candice. She had never heard of fell running but Clayton training runs on Pendle hill were where her love of off road running began to flourish.</p><p><br/></p><p>2003 she ran the London marathon but from then on she focused on Fells and mountains, in 2005 Candice did the Everest base camp marathon and in 2008 was selected for GB mountain running team. She was literally on top of the world loving everything about mountains and running<br/><br/>Candice made a decision to try to run London marathon again for a better time and from there her problems started.</p><p>The first gift she was given was 2 foot fractures , 1 was an evulsion fracture caused by impact, 2 was a stress fracture from running too much - these little nasties were what drove Candice to swimming, she got through the first stress fracture with some breast stroke sessions and her not so good front crawl , but when the 2nd fracture happened Candice was determined to to give swimming some credit for its efforts to keep her sane and  decided it was worth learning how to swim properly so that if ever she needed it again she could do it better and get more out of it . <br/><br/>Candice  was lucky to have a friend who was a national level swimmer as a child and she taught her the basics and so she  just kept going with it,  like with running Candice  didn&apos;t want to lose all the gains so  just kept it going once a week and then she venture onto an open water swim course and start getting into the lakes </p><p> Candice  continued running and litte bit of swimming but no more marathons - back to her beloved trails and hills. <br/><br/>Candices next gift was a bad back - she was diagnosed with spondylolithesis and spent a few years struggling with her back she was unable to sleep let alone run for almost 2 years  during this time sh took up cycling, her husband bought her her  first road bikes and she kind of enjoyed it and it  kept her  fit and she could get out and look at the hills and mountains that she so adored . </p><p>After 2 injections into her spine she finally started to feel better and  went to Mont Blanc to try to climb it .<br/><br/>During this adventure Candice  was given her 3rd gift . Her knees started to become very painful this was the start or what lead to 2 knee operations one on each knee  and being diagnosed with knee cap damage that was irreparable which put an end to her running up and down mountains dreams once and for all. </p><p>So as Candice  cant run hills ,  cant run far,  cant run many miles per week , its just too horribly painful so what she could do</p><p>swim cycle and run a bit =  SPRINT TRI </p><p> So it was 2016  Southport sprint that Candice  qualified for Düsseldorf ETU then she decided to try a standard distance she actually qualified for standard distance as well,   Then the icing on the cake was finding out the ETU race was in Kitzbhule - a Ski resor</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

Her knees started to become very painful this was the start or what lead to 2 knee operations one on each knee  and being diagnosed with knee cap damage that was irreparable which put an end to her running up and down mountains dreams once and for all. </p><p>So as Candice  cant run hills ,  cant run far,  cant run many miles per week , its just too horribly painful so what she could do</p><p>swim cycle and run a bit =  SPRINT TRI </p><p> So it was 2016  Southport sprint that Candice  qualified for Düsseldorf ETU then she decided to try a standard distance she actually qualified for standard distance as well,   Then the icing on the cake was finding out the ETU race was in Kitzbhule - a Ski resor</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Jan is a 45 years old female and her first triathlon was in 2014 (West Wight Triathlon, Isle of Wight), at the end of which she vowed never to do another one ever again! And then quickly changed her mind, wanting to do better and became hooked. <br/><br/>She is  a member of Wight Tri, an Isle of Wight triathlon club. She works full time (shift work) and has an extremely supportive husband who encourages Jan and attends events with her where he can. <br/><br/>She has always been keen to participate in all sports since she can remember but she does not have a background in any of the 3 triathlon disciplines, having previously been an avid hockey player until deciding to hang her boots up 7 years ago.  <br/><br/>Jan has always been able to swim but never what she would call properly and about 7 years ago she decided to teach myself to swim ‘properly’ with her  head under the water. Prior to this she was never a keen swimmer and didn’t really like going out of her depth etc. <br/>Once she had  managed to a crack the front crawl Jan decided that there was nothing stopping her from giving a triathlon a ago and she signed up to her local event in September 2014, completing the bike course on a hybrid bike which kept throwing the chain off around the route. <br/><br/>Jan completed the event, collapsed over the finish line and vowed never to do another triathlon again. But then her competitive side came out and she was hooked, wanting to improve. The rest is history as they say. Jan  would describe herself as a jack of all trades and master of none. <br/><br/>She qualified to represent the Isle of Wight at the Island Games in Gotland in 2017. In 2018 she was encouraged by a fellow club member to compete in a GB age group qualifier in St Neots and she gained a roll down place which gave her a qualification for the European Triathlon Championships in Weert in 2019. <br/><br/>Jan was so excited to get a GB triathlon suit with her name on it. She finished in 18th place in Weert and the week after that event she competed at Leeds, gaining a qualification for The World Champs in Canada 2020 and also went on to re-qualify for the European Championships 2020. <br/><br/>Jan also went to my second Island games in Gibraltar in 2019, representing the Isle of Wight again. <br/><br/>In 2021, she  has had a really productive season…. English National sprint triathlon champion in her age group, PSUK National Champion, re-qualified for the World standard distance Triathlon 2022 and European standard distance triathlon 2022. <br/><br/>Jan has also just returned from the European Triathlon championships in Valencia where she took bronze medal (giving her a PQ for the sprint event in 2022 in Munich) in the sprint triathlon and the day afterwards she completed in the standard distance triathlon and finished in 4th place with a 10km PB. So all in all a successful season. <br/><br/>Jan has signed up to complete a BTF level 2 coaching course, starting in 2022. she is a STA open water swim coach. <br/><br/>Jan has  completely changed her nutrition this year and has taken on additional support around sport psychology, making massive changes to her performances. <br/><br/><br/><br/></p><p><br/><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

They took all day to finish but Lynn totally loved the challenge and on that she entered the Woodhorn Museum Sprint Tri. The thought of getting into the water was horrific but Lynn had some hypnotherapy, enrolled in the open water swim sessions and found a brilliant instructor to teach her how to swim. <br/>It took lynn 40 mins to do the swim in breast stroke , they had a canoe with her all the way  but she did it. <br/><br/>She Loved the bike ride on her hybrid  and Finished 2nd in her Age Group and on the podium. she was totally hooked. <br/><br/>Lynn entered a few ‘go tris’ including the Leeds World championships and went from strength to strength gaining confidence and a good few cups.<br/><br/>She finished 2nd in the British championships, she didn’t even know she was part of the race and as she was getting my medal the BTF official asked why wasn’t she a member of the age group team.<br/>So that was Lynns  next mission. She qualified the next year for the World Duathlon at Stockton and the European championships at a very wet, cold and windy race at Bedford. <br/><br/>Her attempt to qualify for triathlon was scuppered by blue green algae at Hertford and too many holidays at the same time as the qualifying races. So, she thought she would concentrate on duathlon.<br/>Lynn says she was lucky enough to compete at Punta Umbria last March a couple of weeks before lockdown and even managed to come away with a Silver medal 65-69. <br/><br/>Lynn states putting her  GB Kit on was probably the proudest moment of her life and her family and friends were so proud of her just qualifying never mind getting a medal.<br/>Unfortunately the worlds were cancelled last year and Lynn  had worked so hard all through lockdown and was at her  most fittest ready to compete last September.<br/><br/>Lynn has qualified again for next year 70-75 ! However she has  suffered with arthritis for a good few years but this year it’s got decidedly worse and it’s really bad at the moment. Her GP has referred her to the Orthopaedics and she is  patiently waiting for a consultation.  she has  now decided to go,privately as she is  unable to run at the moment so need to get it sorted ready for next season . <br/>Fingers crossed she can put her GB kit on and perform to the best of her ability again.</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

Constantly having to keep up meant he improved quickly.  Always long distance races in the pool. County level podiums at 400, 800 &amp; 1500m &amp; raced at Midland District.<br/><br/>Unfortunately at 15 he fell out of a tree and broke his arm and dislocated his shoulder. He had to have pins put in and had a massive setback to swim training. Once he recovered from the surgery, his humerus had grown and the pins were then rubbing on the  muscle and had to have further surgery to have the pins out. He had one more season but it was to be his last.</p><p>He also changed his swim focus to Open Water.  Nationally he made it to 8th in the Grand Prix series as the youngest competitor.<br/><br/>After a few years of various events, he started his multisport journey doing 5 triathlons in a row. Using his strengths of swimming and biking he decided to qualify for an agegroup aquathon, which he did and competed in Ibiza and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got a silver medal in his agegroup.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Stuart started at 7 years old swim training and was put in with older kids and adults. Constantly having to keep up meant he improved quickly.  Always long distance races in the pool. County level podiums at 400, 800 &amp; 1500m &amp; raced at Midland District.<br/><br/>Unfortunately at 15 he fell out of a tree and broke his arm and dislocated his shoulder. He had to have pins put in and had a massive setback to swim training. Once he recovered from the surgery, his humerus had grown and the pins were then rubbing on the  muscle and had to have further surgery to have the pins out. He had one more season but it was to be his last.</p><p>He also changed his swim focus to Open Water.  Nationally he made it to 8th in the Grand Prix series as the youngest competitor.<br/><br/>After a few years of various events, he started his multisport journey doing 5 triathlons in a row. Using his strengths of swimming and biking he decided to qualify for an agegroup aquathon, which he did and competed in Ibiza and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got a silver medal in his agegroup. He followed this by qualifying for the worlds in Pontevedra but couldn&apos;t afford to go. <br/><br/>In the future Stuart fancies going long really long by doing the Arc to Arc, but has still unfinished business with agegroup aquathon.</p><p>This Episode also features the first in several chats about Mental Health in Athletes with Dr Pippa Jayne NHS Psychiatrist.

Got into rowing, and ran as training.  Andy was doing some sport 6 days a week.  Ran his  first half marathon (great North Run 1987 – 1:41)<br/><br/>Andy Graduated, stayed in Durham, got married and stopped being consistently athletic.  Ran a Great North Run every three years or so, getting slower each time.<br/><br/>After  Ten years of marriage and professional career passed, with two kids along the way  he decided to get consistently fit.  Started running Great North Run every year. Finally beat his time from 1987<br/><br/>In 2003 Ran first of 11 marathons (one a year).In 2004 Andy Joined Athletics club (Durham City Harriers) – realised it was very social and welcoming and wished he joined years earlier.<br/><br/>In 2009 Peak of speed/fitness.  10K 37:53 5K 18:13  Aged 42. He did his first Sprint Triathlon. Pool swim and used his  offroad, flat handled hybrid bike.  He loved it, but still reckoned Triathlon would be too expensive. Didn’t want to buy a wetsuit and flashy bike out of the family budget. <br/>In 2010-2013 he focused on Marathon training.  After a (slow) PB at 2013 London Marathon, Andy got fed up with trying to chase three hours and thought about doing something else.</p><p>So 2010, 2012, 2013 he Bought a road bike and did the Vatternrundan 300km cycle sportive in Sweden with a team from work (they had a factory in Sweden).<br/><br/>2014 (aged 47) set new PB for half marathon (1:24:26) – 16 minutes quicker than he ran as a 20-year-old in 1987!<br/>In 2014 Andy decided to have a more serious go at Triathlon.  So he bought a wetsuit and had a summer of swim, cycle and running events for charity, culminating in a Standard Triathlon.  Got hooked….!<br/><br/>It was 2014 when For a bit of a laugh, Andy thought he would have a go at GB Age group qualification….<br/>2015 ETU Sprint Duathlon in Alcobendas, Spain.  Weather that the team manager described as “the worst she’s ever seen for a championship event”.  But he Love it nevertheless.  <br/>In 2016 Qualification trail – Got Hypothermia at the Oulton Park Spring Duathlon.. yet qualified for Penticton ITU 2017.<br/>In 2017 – 2019  Andy completed a further 11 appearances in an Age Group Tri suit.  Went to every World and European Duathlon championship.  Finished nearer the back of the field than the front…..but justified my selection by beating at least one Brit each time.<br/>In 2019 Andy Finally swam in GB Kit –he  did Aquabike in Pontevedra and Targu Mures, plus Aquathlon in Targu Mures (one of four ETU events in a week!)<br/>In August 2019, Andy had an almost life changing crash off his bike in training, breaking three vertebrae.  He could easily have been dead (if no helmet) or paralysed.  Ended up with a Halo vest just like Tim Don has after his Kona Accident.

The school annual swim gala was a highlight in year 6 when they won the canon relay and <br/>Emma was the Merseyside &amp; District champion in 200m backstroke around the age of 14/15. Backstroke was her thing! But she also found her endurance lungs around that age and dabbled in 800/1500m races. <br/><br/>Emmas first triathlon was actually at Sefton Triathlon back in 2002/3 after her PE teacher encouraged her to have a go. <br/><br/>Emma went to college and Leeds University to study chemistry (but it was almost sports science!). She swam and played waterpolo for the University team there for 4 years and met loads of like minded people! She stayed fit too by going to the gym and running the Leeds Half.  <br/><br/>Emma took up GoTri in 2014 at Liverpool Aquatics centre as she loved the idea of doing all 3 sports. She bought a cheap road bike and off she went!<br/>Her job took her to Barcelona for a year where she joined the local triathlon club as it was the best way to make friends and make the most of the Spanish sun. This is where she learnt how to ride in cleats. Emma  did well over 5 triathlons while in Spain and it was the best experience she had! <br/>Emma returned to the UK with fire in her belly to race but also chip away at my times and get fitter. She upped the training miles, routine and volume and entered the first Leeds ITU Olympic distance race. The atmosphere was incredible and it was her first chance to run on the infamous blue carpet! <br/>That’s when she knew she wanted to make the GB AGE group team, to wear the Trisuit and have that race day feeling again and again! However in order for her to be able to become competitive she had to improve her running.<br/> <br/>2018 was the turning point for her running as she joined Dockside Runners in Liverpool who are incredible! <br/><br/>Emma says she was lucky her first experience to qualify for the GB Team was on her doorstep in Southport at the sprint event in May 2018. She  achieved a time within the winner to submit for both European and World Aquathlon races so she was buzzing!<br/><br/>Her next attempt was Redcar Sprint to qualify for World Triathlon Champs in Lausanne 2019 and she managed to do that too! The qualifier race conditions were awful as the rain and wind was very severe so it was almost turned to a duathlon. As a born swimmer she was dreading this moment but the odds went in her  favour on the day and she managed to run a pb!<br/><br/> *Lausanne Worlds however was a different story and the weather was incredible.. with jaw dropping scenery around Lake Geneva. The best race of her life! She finished 59th in her first GB AG Triathlon and couldn’t have been more chuffed. The memory will last a lifetime and to see the elites race too was fantastic!<br/><br/><br/> Over the past 3 years Emmas triathlon journey has really ramped up. It’s now a massive part of who she is, her identity and also the lifestyle she chooses to live. The friendships Emma has made and the places and events she been to is something she had  never had imagined could have happened. <br/><br/>You can Find Dave over at TriTenacious on instagram and YouTube<br/>and find his website TriathlonTenacious.com<br/><br/>You can listen to this AMP episode and all the others on most podcast platforms and now we a have our own YouTube channel : AMP GB</p><p>Find us Instagram amp_1967<br/><br/>Twitter  agegroupmultisportpodcast<br/><br/>Facebook AMPGB<br/><br/>YouTube GB<br/><br/>Website is : agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

Kate Cadbury <br/><br/>Kate says she was never sporty as a child, she enjoyed crisps too much! Then when She went to University to study Physiotherapy in 2000 she was surrounded by sporty people and obviously the course was focusing on health, wellbeing and exercise and She met her now husband who was sporty so She started to get into going to the gym and occasional jogging. <br/><br/>Once Kate qualified as a physio, she and some fellow junior physios signed up to a 10k. They trained by walk/running along the promenade by Bournemouth beach and She ended up coming 3rd in the race and since then hasn’t looked back. Kate went on to win local 10k races over the years. <br/><br/>After having her first baby Kate remembers trying to go for her first run and felt like her pelvic floor was going to fall out on the pavement so She decided to get into cycling and hit the turbo trainer which combined with pilates allowed her to get strong post natally and allowed her to return to running safely and correctly. Kate then set herself the target of doing some sprint triathlons as a goal for 1 year after having a baby - again She seemed to do pretty well and got on the podium each time. <br/><br/>A triathlete patient then said to her that she should try and qualify for the age group team’ - so she did! And did the qualifier in Cambridge and remembered turning up feeling like a country bumpkin mum with no idea. Kate had old muddy trainers on, a miss matched outfit and felt totally intimidated by the GB outfits. Again she went onto qualify and so went to race in Denmark in 2018 where she came 5th in age group and automatically qualified for 2019 , She raced In Pontevedra and got on the podium winning a bronze medal. Kate was due to race in 2020 in Almere but like everyone is still waiting for that race. <br/><br/>Kate would like to think that her history demonstrates you don’t always have to be sporty to do well later in life. You can smash goals after children and be fitter and stronger than ever. You can balance a career, children and sport. Most importantly highlight to women that it is so important to return to sport safely and correctly post fatally to avoid complications. <br/><br/><br/>You can find Kate on Instagram @cadburypilates <br/>and other website cadburypilates.com <br/><br/>You can listen to this AMP episode and all the others on most podcast platforms and now we a have our own YouTube channel : AMP GB</p><p>Find us Instagram amp_1967<br/><br/>Twitter  agegroupmultisportpodcast<br/><br/>Facebook AMPGB<br/><br/>YouTube GB<br/><br/>Website is : agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

He is a natural storyteller who uses humour to captivate his audience as he describes the brutally punishing road to becoming a World Champion in his age group, but just when his dream is within reach, Brock discovers a basic human truth that risks derailing it all.

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Currently a final year medical student at King&apos;s College London. Megan took up triathlon/duathlon in her first year.</p><p>She did her first degree in Biomedical Sciences at Newcastle University- She has  been at uni for 8 years, At Newcastle she  used to row and won a few BUCS medals. A shoulder injury and a gruelling training schedule where she would fall asleep in most lectures led her to think about a change of sport. She played netball for a year (coached by Sarah Harding who was episode 6 on this podcast!) but wanted to move away from team sports to have more flexibility at medical school.</p><p><br/></p><p>Her mum Maria Powell is an extremely successful AG multisport athlete (15 podiums and 7 wins at Euro/World Championships in all disciplines except duathlon). Her family holidays used to revolve around watching her mum race around the world and family training camps at Club La Santa, Lanzarote! Megan was always inspired to take up the sport but didn&apos;t want to tread on her Mums toes! She grew up doing quite a bit of running in her spare time as a stress release/mental wellbeing but only did team sports competitively.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Currently a final year medical student at King&apos;s College London. Megan took up triathlon/duathlon in her first year.</p><p>She did her first degree in Biomedical Sciences at Newcastle University- She has  been at uni for 8 years, At Newcastle she  used to row and won a few BUCS medals. A shoulder injury and a gruelling training schedule where she would fall asleep in most lectures led her to think about a change of sport. She played netball for a year (coached by Sarah Harding who was episode 6 on this podcast!) but wanted to move away from team sports to have more flexibility at medical school.</p><p><br/></p><p>Her mum Maria Powell is an extremely successful AG multisport athlete (15 podiums and 7 wins at Euro/World Championships in all disciplines except duathlon). Her family holidays used to revolve around watching her mum race around the world and family training camps at Club La Santa, Lanzarote! Megan was always inspired to take up the sport but didn&apos;t want to tread on her Mums toes! She grew up doing quite a bit of running in her spare time as a stress release/mental wellbeing but only did team sports competitively. Megans decision to take up triathlon when she moved to London was very much supported by her Mum  (she bought Megan her  first road bike for her 21st!) and she has coached her for the last 4 years!</p><p><br/></p><p>Swimming has always been Megans least favourite and weakest discipline.

She knew that Jo cycled so coaxed her Into having a go at triathlons.  Not being much of a swimmer, Jo took lessons and agreed to have a go at the Hart sprint triathlon. She says it took her weeks before she could manage a length of crawl and she hated putting my head under water and wearing goggles. Jo joined a gym, a trainer gave her exercises to build up her strength and she went to some spinning classes (that was a shock to the system!). Jo did her first race on her dutch shopping bike having removed the stand and basket but not the heavy integral lock. Jo states her friend Jill was shouting at her to get a move on as she dried herself in transition  but she did pass a couple of people as she pedalled as hard as she could round the course. The run was incredibly tough but a lovely course and everyone who passed her  (and there were a lot of them!) shouted encouragement and wonder of wonders everyone had not packed up and gone home by the time she finished - they cheered her loudly and she thought wow. she was hooked.</p><p><br/></p><p>Jo had a go at more races, She bought a proper bike, eventually managed several lengths of crawl although it was a year before she did a whole race. She joined a club and made friends. Her fitness gradually improved but the path to improvement was not smooth - in 2006 she developed planatafasciitis in both feet, in 2009 she broke her ankle falling down a pothole in Madagascar. However in 2011 she entered a race and realised that if she had put her name down she would have qualified for the European Champs. The next year she had a go and in 2013 she was part of the GB team which went to Alanya. Since then she has continued to train hard and has competed in more European and World Championships but she  does seem to be accident prone. After Alanya she ruptured her cruciate ligament water skiing and had to have an operation to restructure her knee. She still made it to the European Champs in Kitzbuhel in 2014 and got round in spite of viscious gradients on the bike and run. Jo was regaining fitness well and just about to compete in the first race of 2017 when an alpaca fell on her and she broke two ribs. At the age of 62 things didn&apos;t repair quite as well as they used to but she  still competed in Glasgow at the European champs the same year, although several people in the 70 plus age group beat her!. <br/><br/>Jo&apos;s list of accidents sadly continued and in 2019 when she broke her ankle again, this time turning her foot when running in the local country park just before the start of the season. Jo cycled to the X ray dept but was told not to cycle back and was given an inflatable boot. Thankfully she could start training in time to build her run up to compete in the European Champs in Kazan and took away a bronze medal. Sadly Malmo will not be happening but she has worked on building her core strength. Jo is fighting time with an arthritic hip and worn facet joints but the break from racing has meant she can focus on technique and strength so here&apos;s to 2021 and beyond.</p><p><br/><br/></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/952840/support">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>
