Unpacking Training and Racing with Simon C
In this episode of the MK Performance Podcast, Matt sits down with Simon Cochrane, one of the coaches guiding his performance journey alongside Grant Schofield, to unpack key lessons from his latest training block- and to open the door on some of the most relevant topics in endurance sport.
Together, they explore practical takeaways for athletes of all levels:
Tapering time frames
Balancing volume and intensity without burning out
The confidence- consistency connection in racing
The age-old debate: ERG mode vs. non-ERG mode
Fuelling and building race-ready mindset shifts
This conversation is born from Matt’s recent time working closely with Simon- but the discussion is rooted in real world insights that apply whether you’re a first-time triathlete, a seasoned age grouper, or pushing the limits at a professional level.
