The race within a race… Guy and Kate gear up for the IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast this weekend.
We review the racing from the Supertri Pro Series Final in Jersey.
British professional triathlete Joe Skipper has been handed an 18-month competition ban for an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) caused by three whereabouts failures within a 12-month window.
Peptides in triathlon - the line between recovery, anti-aging treatments and performance enhancement. We consider how accessible these treatments may become and whether existing testing rules can keep pace.
We chat to Bruna Maia and Fabienne Maia of Augo Training. Augo is an intelligent assistant software platform designed specifically for endurance sports coaches and their athletes. It provides a central platform that streamlines communication, daily task prioritisation, performance data analysis and workout planning acting as an 'intelligence layer' for sports coaching. The platform uses artificial intelligence to remember client preferences, track past injuries and flag exactly which athletes need immediate plan adjustments. Ultimately, they handle the heavy data crunching and paperwork so that human coaches can save time and focus on building the all-important coach/athlete relationship.
This weekend… IRONMAN 70.3 World Champs in Nice, we give our picks for the win.
