On today's show, I have the author of "Spitting in the Soup" Mark Johnson. Mark's book has done a phenomenal expose into the history of sports really, drugs, supplements and more. I think we’ve all only been scratching the surface layer when it comes to drugs in sport and how our thinking has been created by fiction, sensationalism and more. Marks book as opened my eyes to that we have only been using surface level thinking, been sheep to sensationalist and at many times fictional media and to the pursuit of something that never existed in the first place. Have we been ignorant? Has sensationalism got us away from some facts? Marks book uncovers so many things I would have never even thought to contemplate. His work is thorough. Has it relaxed my view on drugs in sport? I don’t know, I don’t think so as I still don’t like the ‘taste. I’d still like to line up and race people on ‘equal terms’ but even that is a ridiculous notion because what is equal? We have full-time age groupers, we have those more financially well-off, or who live in better environments, or won the genetic lottery. There just can’t be this level playing field. However… seeing what we can get out of the cards we've been dealt I believe is a worthy goal. For me that drives me, to see what I can do with training the trials of miles and the miles of trials, getting mentally tougher. So many of us may not have won the genetic lottery but time and time again, we've seen that genetics can only take us so far. The heart and grit of an athlete... Well, that’s hard to measure now isn't it? Anyway… As you’ll soon see, the moral playground surrounding drugs in sport changed… What was once not taboo now is. There was never this Eden… But maybe with societies taste for lifestyle drugs and the enormous commercial and government forces promoting the medicalization of every aspect of our lives… society could benefit from drug-free roles models and using sport as that vehicle. That’s a tough goal. But dream big. Enjoy my conversation with Mark. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

Today, Oh this is a special one today. One for the Fat Black history books. Lionel Sanders is more than the real deal. We cover a lot in this conversation and if you aren’t fired up and ready to get after it and see what your potential is... no matter the cards you have been dealt with, after listening to this. I’m not sure what will… This conversation shows why Lionel is so good and why he can and will be better and it gives us some solid clues, actually a bit of a roadmap to how we can be better too. Enjoy because I thoroughly did. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

Today on the Fat Black, I have Rachel McBride on the show... The purple Tiger is a badass Canadian triathlete that doesn’t care what other people think. After spending her high school & college years as a “goth, punk rocker, artist type” (as she puts it) she moved to the freezing tundra of Ottawa, Canada for grad school and turned to running to stay warm. She quickly caught the triathlon bug and hasn’t back. After claiming her ITU National Age Group Champion title in her first year of racing, Rachel went full force into training and racing. She works hard and it is paying off. She won 70.3 Austin, was 3rd at Ironman Canada after being first out of the water and then crushing the bike course record - she’s also quite the handy trail runner. Rachel has some serious prowess on the race course and she won’t back down from any challenge. And I know she has set some mighty ones for herself… The “Purple Tiger” is on the rise. And she will succeed. That intention shines. Enjoy... Pictures: Mark Mackay Photography IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

Today I have Bob Babbitt on the show. Bob is USA Triathlon Hall of Fame and Ironman Hall of Fame Inductee and a guy who’s name is writ large across the Ironman story. You’d be hard-pressed to find a person that has done more for our sport than Bob Babbitt. This guys passion over 3 decades is just on another level. The giving back and the building of brands where the goal and outcomes have been that 'everyone wins'. There's so much we can learn from this standup guy and a fantastic storyteller. This was a long conversation so if you have to split it up. It’s worth it. So very much worth it. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

So today I have Dirk Bockel on the show. It's been a long time since I've caught up with Dirk but we could have chatted for hours and likely would have if he wasn't flying to Germany to the US the next morning for his upcoming book tour. We talk about his new book The Art of Triathlon Training which is very thorough and definitely worth the read. The book is in depth. It takes you through the theory and practice of it all. From taking those first steps, doing the groundwork, the tools for the job, the training, getting race ready, race day, the day after… analyzing your race and the mind of a champion. All very important and all could be topic points and a podcast on there own. Today we dive into the journey. The mind stuff. Yes we will go down some training/racing do’s/don'ts rabbit holes but so much of what we can or cannot achieve is packaged in that grey matter between our ears. I enjoyed this chat with Dirk and I think you will too. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

Today we have serial Fat Black podcast guest Steph Lowe on and we have a chat about so many things nutrition. As per usual, there are a few rants - of course there are! But it's purely because we care and want to stop the self-imposed pain... Always a pleasure chatting with Steph and I am excited to see her new program, LCHF Endurance... Make sure you check out her LCHF Endurance FB account (below) and for those non-Vegans, the Chicken abundance bowl looks fab. If you're vegan, simply sub the chicken out. I trust you’ll enjoy.

Today I have Jocelyn McCauley on the show. I met Jocelyn McCauley at the daylight mind cafe in Kona this year and we tried to get a podcast done in the craziness of race week. It didn’t happen, but we finally got there. Jocelyn started the sport of swim bike run in 2013, in fact, she registered for her first 70.3 and shortly after found out she was pregnant. Well, she trained as much as she could and 11 weeks after the birth of her daughter she completed Muncie 70.3 in under 5 hours! She went on to do her first Ironman and qualified for Kona. And in her second IM, she added IM World Champion to her name and first amateur female. Her first IM pro win was Mallorca in 2016 and then she won IMNZ in 2017 and ran a smoking 2:59. 10 in Kona this past October … This mum is the real deal and we speak about her trajectory and her lessons as a 2nd year pro. Many of these lessons we should heed. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did interviewing Jocelyn.

Today I have Simon Whitfield on the Fat Black. Simon shouldn’t need any introduction, however… For those that don’t know. Simon won the first Olympic gold in Sydney 2000 and in this interview he tells how he believes he got a leg up on every other competitor well before the course was even set. He won that event after going down on the bike with 14 others and worked his way back. I remember sitting in the stands with Charlotte watching that live and thinking damn near 2 hours is a long time to be racing. Who would’ve known some 17 years later I'd be having a conversation with Simon. Ahh, the poetry of life. Simon also won silver in Beijing a gold at the 2002 Commonwealth games among so many other medals was know for having a great kick in the finish straight. One of my favorite ever finishing pictures is the one above by the legend that is Dely Carr of Simon outsprinting Brad Kahlefeldt, Jan Frodeno and Kris Gemmell to the line at the Hyvee race for $200K… Absolutely Rivetting. I really enjoyed my chat with Simon and especially why having and cultivating your imagination is so important. Anyway, I’ll leave it at that so you can fully enjoy. There's some big life lessons in here. Image: Delly Carr IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

Today I have Dag Oliver - the GM of Norseman Xtreme triathlon on the show. Dag DNF’d his first triathlon back in 2005 due to a broken handlebar. Like all of us was bitten by the tri bug, but as most of us go deep into racing and competing, Dag went into race directing, to the secretary general of the Norwegian triathlon federation, to splitting his time between his relaxed sports photography business and the IT department of the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee. He is a busy man but one that is passionate about the sport and you can see how this shines through and how he lives the core values of Norseman. Enjoy. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:
