In this week’s GTN Show, Mark and James tackle the ultimate triathlon debate: Which sport matters the most? Is the swim just a warm-up, is the bike where the race is won, or is it all about running for show? We discuss which discipline gives you the biggest bang for your buck during winter training.
Plus, we have a packed news segment! We look at Alex Yee’s blistering potential marathon time, Spencer Matthews attempting 7 Ironmans on 7 continents (currently freezing in Antarctica), and the insane results from the Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. We also touch on the disappointing news for Triathlon at the 2030 Commonwealth Games and check out some incredible ultra-running records.
