About this episode

Joe Skipper and Tyler Mislawchuk discuss training techniques and experiences in the triathlon world.

Joe Skipper is back and joined by Tyler Mislawchuk for the start of a new JYD series. In this episode, Joe and Tyler dive into what’s been happening in the triathlon world, answer listener questions, and chat all things training, altitude, brick sessions, zone two riding, and knowing when to back off. They talk openly about injuries, coaching versus self-coaching, and how to balance racing between Super League and 70.3s. Tyler shares what it’s like training at 2,100 metres in Flagstaff, reflects on his Olympic journey, and breaks down what really happened in that near photo finish with Alex Yee. This episode covers everything from run drills and barefoot cooldowns to VO2 max myths, carbon shoes, and whether Jakob Ingebrigtsen is pushing his luck coming back from injury.
