You’re on a high. And then it happens. The drop. The fall. The injury you didn’t see coming (or maybe in hindsight [...]
Chris McCormack (aka Macca) is one of the greatest triathletes of all time. He has dominated triathlon across all distances at various points during his illustrious career. He has won the world’s hardest one-day sporting event, the Hawaii Ironman, not once but twice. The only thing missing from his CV however was a spot on [...]

It is hard to believe that the triathlon career of the reigning Ironman 70.3 World Champion Melissa Hauschildt (nee Rollison) only began in mid-2010.

Troy Jacobson has been coaching endurance athletes since 1992. Since that time he is widely [...]

But flexibility - which includes having a good range of motion through your joints - is essential in order to [...]

If you are doing either Ironman Australia or the 70.3 race being held at beautiful Port Macquarie on 1 May, I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that it was 3 weeks yesterday until race day. So you’ve swum, ridden and run more kilometres than you care to imagine over recent months. Only a [...]
