These are great listens for long runs, rides, and other training sessions
As triathletes, we’re always looking for something to keep us entertained on long rides, runs, gym sessions, and (if you have the tech for it) even swims. Maybe you’re a music person, but sometimes that can get old and you might want to switch things up. Podcasts are a great way to keep you occupied while working out, and if you pick the right one, it can also help motivate you as you train. Here are a few podcasts that triathletes everywhere will love. They’re not necessarily triathlon-focused, but each one provides insights and inspirational guests that will hit home with triathletes.
