Today we have a friend, someone I’ve coached in Ironman and someone who supported Charlotte and I back in Australia with Nike. Now Mike may work and love Nike but he is not biased towards the brand in such a way that - no not everyone should run in Nike. In fact in todays conversation we do talk about who the best person is to listen too when it comes to shoe choice. We blow the doors off pronation, we talk run mechanics, whats important, the show industry and of course this little project of Breaking 2. Theres a link in the show notes @ trispecific.com that links to nikes page for the live event. I might just be cracking open a beer any 8:45pm Friday night here in Canada. Ok lets get into it.

This week I get to virtually sit down with John Kelly. The 15th finisher at the Barkley Marathon - which has been going for way more years than finishers of the event. It’s really the end point of ultra running. If you haven’t watched the Netflix doco do it. John is a husband and in his words to an incredible wife, the proud father of 3 kids under the age of 3 (the latest addition are twins) - he works as a data scientist in a start up in Washington DC and he runs, bikes, hikes to support his ability to do his job with a clear mind. And he does swim but only because he likes to race and challenge himself in triathlons. John is racing Kona this year and after his recent Barkley success and the amount of interviews his had.. I did not want this to be another same same interview focusing on the Barkley. No, I wanted to dig deeper and have a conversation around making it work with a very young family (shows how real communication allows it to work), and how he uses his commute to do hie training. How he got the necessary elevation training done in an essentially flat area, his training, the mental differences between ultra running and racing Ironman and some really great stuff on goals. I really enjoyed this conversation and there are many take home points that if implemented will not only help bring out the best versions of ourselves but make us better athletes. Ok lets get into it. Enjoy.

This week I get to have a super fun conversation with multiple Xterra and Off Road World Champion Lesley Paterson. Lesley's story is an inspirational one from early success to quickly becoming disillusioned with the sport when sports scientist tried to bake her in the 'one size fits all' performance mould. After bunch of years off she got reacquainted to getting muddy (past rugby days... yes you read that right) and chiseled herself to become an Xterra World Champion. Throw in Lyme disease into the mix, learning to deal with negative Nora and all the other mental conundrums that we athletes face on a daily basis... mix in her sports psychologist hubby Simon and very soon you to can have an exceptional book in your hands that could be life changing for you. Reading it won't do that... rolling up your sleeves and creating awareness of your inner self and doing the exercise contained within will help. The book is hilarious and super practical. And with a title "The Brave Athlete - Calm the Fuck Down and Rise to the Occasion" how can it not be a winner. Lesley is the real deal. The Scottish lass doesn’t mind dropping an f-bomb to two and is just passionate about helping others rise to the occasion. I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with her and I know you will too. LET’s do it. Enjoy. IN TODAY’S EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

This week I get to welcome back Rachel Joyce aka the Joycenator back on to the Fat Black podcast. We had Rachel on way back for episode #146 where she gave us a lot of insights and clues into what it is to be a champion athlete and how we can all take on the traits of champions to bring out our best selves. Well today we kind of continue that thread but in the new light of Rachel being a mum to 7 month old Archie and coming back to racing. Recently Rachel lined up a Oceanside 70.3 as her first race back (her race choice speaks volumes about her and choosing a race with with a stacked field). You will most definitely hear little Archie throughout the interview because he decided being awake listening to mum speak was way more exciting than sleeping.

This week it's my absolute pleasure to sit down with my better half Charlotte Paul. Ironman champ and super mum, talking all about her time as a triathlete. From age grouper to professional and it being the vehicle where she went from a life of no direction to one of finding purpose and self belief. It was fun going into the memory archives, having a fun conversation and give you many take homes to improve you as an athlete and person. I trust you'll enjoy this as much as we did recording it.

This week I chat Pete Bryceland whom I was introduced to via a TS LIFE athlete. Pete has an interesting background working his way up through the McDonalds ranks of management and training which in reality provided the foundation of solid systems. He set his focuses on learning and implementing NLP (Neural Linguistic Programming) although he's not conventional in that approach, hypnotism, mental health, buisness and personal coaching.

But this time on the back of two 'smash fest' camps we talk all about her journey of becoming a plant powered athlete. The downs and then how this 60x Ironmaner, Ultraman and Ironman Champion had her career best results as a plant powered athlete. Grab yourself a tasty beverage and enjoy.

This week I chat with TS LIFER, and king juggler Tim Corbett. Tim is happily married 5 time Ironman has 5 kids and juggles family, business, coaching and competing. Right now Tim should be a 6x IMer but his most recent one in stunning Taupo NZ was done in dusted in a sub 10min time (something we discuss in the show). He has a passion for making Ironman training and competing, family friendly helping ‘normal’ mums and dads become Iron-parents. With a background in sport science, behaviour change and marketing, he is the Director of Thinking at Deep Limited, a specialist health advertising and marketing agency. Tim looks to mix research with real life experience so doing Ironman not only makes you fitter and faster but a better mum or dad. Your legs will only take you so far, it’s your heart that gets you across the line. A strong believer in the power of the team, he believes Ironman should not be pursued as an individual sport but as a chance to grow communities. His wife, Catherine, is a strong believer in the power of the ‘weapon of mass distraction’. Expensive, shiny pieces of jewellery that ‘distract’ from the pain of watching, waiting and dealing with the whining. Grab yourself a tasty beverage and enjoy. IN TODAY’S EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

So I had a last minute cancelation on the podcast so I thought I’d go into the Triathlon World Summit archives and bring to you my interview for TWS, where I go through many lessons we face on our journeys as endurance athletes and what it really takes to set ourselves up for success. Even if you have access to the TWS recordings, I recommend you re-listen to this as there are some great take homes that you can choose to use and improve how you show up in the world. Enjoy.

This week Kristian sits down with Travis McKenzie. A fellow Aussie living thats also made Canada home and has a big goal of leaving an to leave a legacy of extraordinary impact on the endurance sports industry. Trav left his dream job of running world class events for Lululemon to scratch his own entrepreneurial itch, thus gain sleepless nights and all the other challenges that go along with that. But there is definitely always a gift in the challenges we face. In 1992 at the impressionable age of 10, Trav ran down the Ironman World Champs finish chute with his old man which solidified a deep life long passion in endurance sports - both partaking in them and creating some exceptional events along the way.
