It’s time to listen to the podcast that everyone has been talking about with Ironman CEO Andrew Messick. This episode gets heated. There’s hard questions, debate, there’s back & forth and **spoiler alert** it ultimately ends with Andrew walking off the podcast. But at least he got to eat his lunch live on air before walking off *Sign up to PATREON to support the show (for only $2 AUD/$1 USD per week it is the only reason the show is still going.

In todays episode we talk about what training Collin did in the lead up to winning the PTO US Open with coach Mikal Iden & training partner Lionel Sanders. Lionel, Collin and Mikal decided to do a period of overreaching training prior to the PTO US Open in a bid to beat the worlds best - and it worked. We go through the training day by day and then discuss their brutal heat training. Then we talk about the following month in the lead up to the Ironman World Champs where, under the watchful eye of Coach Mikal, Collin & Lionel continued on their path of doing HUGE amounts of training out on the big island. Talbot Cox filmed their training out there and posted about it every day on Lionel Sanders YouTube page. Once you listen to this - go and watch that. We then talk about diet, both day to day and race day. Collin is as honest and detailed as any guest we’ve had and I found this chat with him so interesting, raw & insightful.  ** Sign up to PATREON to support the show (for only $2 AUD/$1 USD per week it is the only reason the show is still going.
