About Fitness Freaks

3 mates and Team GB AG triathletes/runners looking to broaden their horizons and take all of our training to the next level. In an informal setting Ben, George & Sam aim to talk with some of the most interesting triathletes, runners, coaches, psychologists and anyone they think can offer a nugget of learning for us all. Some weeks it might not even be about sport but there are always lessons and we're always reminded Ben is old. At the end of the day we all just want to be fitness freaks. We go where the conversation leads us!

   Mat Dowle - Creating a local long distance triathlon (Ironbourne) to rival the Ironman/Challenge experience

   Mat Dowle is a passionate and experienced triathlete. And after an experience he'd never forget in Tenby, he vowed with his friend Dale to create a race for other passionate triathletes to provide that same type of high end experience you get when you race in the big boy races like Challenge and Ironman. And so, Ironbourne Long Distance Triathlon was born. A race created by triathletes, for triathletes, with experience at the heart rather than money.

   Chris Bird - An introduction to Canova Training

   This week we were delighted to have Chris Bird on to chat us through his own journey in running and also how he applies Canova training to himself and his athletes. Renato Canova is a hugely successful Italian running coach with a methodology that flies in the face of conventional wisdom. But as we've learnt time and time again, convention doesn't mean correct! With Canova training it's all about specificity. Training at around your chosen race pace and building up your tolerance over time. As Chris says, it's about feeding the baby! (in that you can't feed a baby a huge meal on day one!!). Thankfully Chris has agreed to come back on the show in a few weeks to put some meat on the bones! But for now, let's be happy we may have found a different way... that clearly works!
