That Triathlon Show Running, Peaking, and Sufferling with Olympic gold-medal coach Malcolm Brown | EP#96
Malcolm Brown has been coaching the Brownlee brothers since they were teenagers to 4 Olympic medals, and been an integral part in developing the highly successful Leeds Triathlon Center. Now retired, we look back at how he achieved all this success, and what he has learnt along the way.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:-His greatest contribution in making team Great Britain such a dominant force in triathlon-How he changed the run training of the Brittish triathletes to make them "run more like milers" when moving from athletics to triathlon coaching-How athletes like the Brownlees, Vicky Holland, Non Stanford, and others consistently manage perform well in Championship races when it really matters-What allows the Brownlees to race like they do at a suicidal pace and handle evident suffering so well-The most important change that has happened in triathlon training the last 10-15 years
