In 2020, Lindsey McInnes faced a life altering challenge when she suffered a compression of her spinal cord. This traumatic injury left her without feeling in both legs and stripped her of control over her bladder and bowels. In the midst of this struggle, Lindsey made a promise to herself: if she recovered from her surgeries, she would complete an Ironman to raise money for others who weren’t as fortunate. The Road to Recovery Lindsey's journey was not easy. She underwent mu

If you ask me for one advice on how to become a better athlete: Be Coachable. Whether you're a rookie stepping onto the field for the first time or a seasoned veteran with years of experience, the willingness to learn and adapt is what makes the difference. Being coachable means having an open mindset, ready to absorb feedback and adapt to new techniques. It’s not merely about nodding your head at a coach’s instructions; it’s about actively engaging, asking questions, and str

As triathletes, we spend hours on the bike and road, and nothing kills a solid session faster than running out of energy or dealing with heavy, hard-to-eat snacks. The best on-the-go fuel is simple, quick to digest, portable, and provides a steady mix of carbs, a bit of fat, and electrolytes without upsetting the stomach. Here are my go-to snacks that have powered countless long rides and runs. 1. Bananas – The Classic No-Brainer The ultimate triathlon staple. Easy to peel wi

In September 2025, on an ordinary Sunday afternoon in Nice, France, I crossed the finish line of the Ironman World Championship. After 226 grueling kilometers, including a choppy swim in the Mediterranean, 2,500+ meters of climbing on the Provençal bike course, and a windswept marathon along the Côte d’Azur, the announcer’s words hit me: “You are an Ironman!” The cheers and emotions were overwhelming. Earning a spot at Worlds for my first full Ironman felt like both pure luc

Back in 2024, I was training for Kona—the Ironman World Championship. I was determined to give it absolutely everything. Every morning, I woke up before sunrise to swim in the pool, followed by long rides on weekends and endless brick sessions under the Hong Kong heat. I thought rest was for people who weren’t serious enough. Looking back, I can see how misguided I was. A few weeks before the race, fatigue began crawling into every session. My body felt heavy, my motivation s

Training for an IRONMAN or a 70.3 is long journey that can feel very daunting. To get to the finish line, consistency becomes a key part of it. However, sometimes it is difficult to get out there and just train without a particular goal set in mind for that workout. That is why a structured plan is really helpful to achieve progress and get to the start line in the best possible state. On top, training is very different depending on whether your race is in 3 months or in 9 mo

Last September, in Nice (France), I completed my third Ironman triathlon - a world championship I never imagined qualifying for and which pushed me to my physical limits. Beyond the physical sense of accomplishment, there was a psychological one as well. This race symbolised the end of a long and often challenging journey of recovery from a training accident I experienced four years ago. On a hot day in Hong Kong, I collapsed after a training session and suffered injuries

Hi everyone. Sergio here. Today I want to share a perspective on injuries—the ones that appear without much warning or obvious reason. No one wants to be injured. No one enjoys being unable to train swim, bike, and run. But sometimes these forced pauses are necessary. They allow us to develop over the long term and make us aware of areas in our body that need improvement—areas that, if addressed, can benefit us for years to come. We spend so many hours training, repeating the
