Welcome to this week's episode featuring Mike Goddard, entrepreneur, a current World and European triathlon champion in the 75-79 age group sprint distance and an avid fell runner. I invited Mike after he engaged with one of my recent posts about reducing training volume while maintaining performance. He didn't just maintain his fitness. He achieved unprecedented fitness, for him at least, winning his age group both the Euros and the World Championships in the sprint distance.

If you're interested and have concerns about how aging may affect your training and racing, this episode will provide encouraging insights and highlight positive aspects to look forward to.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • Holding the fastest known time up and down Mount Kenya,
  • navigating the challenges of his son's paralysis following a climbing accident and how this experience propelled him into the triathlon world.
  • Joys and impacts of aging.
  • Importance of having a coach.
  • The social aspects of training, especially for athletes in individual sports and those involved in clubs.
  • Mike also shares how strength and mobility work have significantly benefited his performances.
  • Why older runners should focus on age graded performances when run performances tend to drop off anyway.
  • Balance between race craft and fitness, including long term planning for older athletes.
  • And finally, he shares a story about taking Alistair and Johnny Brownlee to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2013.
