Lizzie Rayner joins us to break down the men’s race, the form of the favourites and the likely tactics that will shape the day.

#101 - T100 & WTCS French Riviera
UTMB delivered a huge weekend of trail racing, with Tom Evans winning the men’s race and Ruth Croft taking the women’s title to complete the UTMB triple. Georgia Taylor Brown has made her ambitions clear, she wants Olympic gold in Los Angeles in 2028. We discuss what it will take to get her there. At the T100 French Riviera, Ashleigh Gentle produced another world class performance to win the women’s race, while Hayden Wilde backed up once again to take the men’s title ahead of Jelle Geens and Samuel Dickinson. The WTCS French Riviera races were just as stacked. Matt Hauser stayed perfect this season with victory in the men’s event, and Cassandre Beaugrand delivered a huge win in front of the home crowd in the women’s race. We also recap Zell am See 70.3, where Kat Matthews took the win in the women’s field and Fabian Kraft claimed the men’s title, continuing his rise in the Pro Series standings.

#100 - Hayden Wilde v Alex Yee Again!
Jan Frodeno was meant to race UTMB but had not qualified, and the wildcard entry he received has seen him cop a wave of online criticism. We talk through why the reaction came so hard and what it says about the way the trail scene handles elite entries. From there we look at one of the wildest endurance feats of the year, South African runner Sibusiso Kubheka covering 100km in 5:59:20 at the Adidas “Chasing 100” event. It will not go down as an official world record, but breaking the six hour barrier is a landmark moment for ultra running and we discuss why it matters. Supertri Chicago brought more drama, with Jeanne Lehair and Alberto Gonzalez Garcia taking the wins, Tyler Mislawchuk running brilliantly, and Georgia Taylor Brown showing strong form in the women’s race. WTCS Fréjus sets up a massive showdown as Alex Yee and Hayden Wilde line up against each other again, while at T100 French Riviera Hayden backs up to race alongside Morgan Pearson, Jelle Geens and Jess Learmonth. We finish the episode with listener questions to celebrate the 100th episode of Talking Triathlon.

#99 - Supertri Chicago Preview
This week we set the record straight on T100 Valencia after rumours that it was cancelled. Hayden Wilde is planning to race both the T100 Fréjus and the WTCS on the same weekend, after his comeback could this be one of the best seasons ever? Jan Frodeno’s UTMB bid might be on hold as it appears he hasn’t followed the qualification process properly. Ironman Kalmar happened over the weekend Chelsea Sodaro finishing third place and the question of whether she is keeping things safe before Kona. Ironman Copenhagen delivered crazy fast times and a rough day for Joe Skipper after a puncture forced a DNF. Zell Am See 70.3 gets a look as we discuss the start list and how the fields are shaping up ahead of a busy late season. Supertri Chicago closes the show with a stacked cast. Georgia Taylor-Brown, Jeanne Lehair, Ricardo Batista, Johnny Brownlee, Morgan Pearson and Tyler Mislawchuk headline what should be tight, aggressive racing.

#98 - Hayden and Lucy Dominate!
Plenty to cover from T100 London, starting with Hayden Wilde’s incredible win less than 100 days after a horrific bike crash and Lucy Charles-Barclay’s brilliant performance that makes her a clear contender for the Ironman World Championships in Kona this October. We break down both the men’s and women’s races, with the women’s race standing out as one of the best T100 events we have seen. Away from London, Alex Yee smashed a 5km road race, setting up an epic showdown the next time he races Hayden. We then preview Ironman Kalmar, where Chelsea Sodaro and Nikki Bartlett headline the women’s race, and Ironman Copenhagen, which sees Joe Skipper going head-to-head with Rasmus Svenningson in what promises to be an exciting battle.
