In each episode, we break down the mysteries of triathlon training and show you how simple and flexible it can be, so that it really does become part of your lifestyle and not just a hobby.
Each episode is between 30-40 minutes long, and we are going to break them down in to seasons, with each season focusing on a particular aspect of triathlon.
