⌚ WAS MY WATCH VO2 MAX ACTUALLY CORRECT? 🚴‍♂️💨 Fat Man to Ironman Update! My Garmin reckons my VO2 Max is 39… but how accurate is that number really? 🤔 Rather than guessing, I headed into the lab with the legends at @peakformtesting to put myself through a proper VO2 Max bike test. With the watts increasing by 15 at each stage, things got uncomfortable pretty quickly! 🥵 The result? 37.8 VO2 Max! Turns out the watch wasn't too far off after all! A massive thanks to the team at @peakformtesting for supporting my Fat Man to Ironman journey and helping me understand what's actually happening under the bonnet. It's not just about getting fitter — it's about understanding where you're starting from, training smarter and measuring real progress. Plenty of work ahead, but now we've got a baseline to beat! 💪 Follow the journey — Couch to Ironman, one test at a time! #FatManToIronman #PeakformTesting #VO2Max #Garmin #TriathlonTraining #IronmanJourney #TrainSmarter #RoadToIronman

🔥 FAT MAN TO IRONMAN UPDATE – ARE YOU EATING ENOUGH? 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ 😴 Feeling tired, hungry and rundown? You could be UNDER-FUELLED! As my Fat Man to Ironman journey gets more serious, I've been feeling constantly tired, hungry and struggling with recovery. I thought eating less was the answer to losing weight, but what if I wasn't eating enough to support my training? 🤔 💪 In partnership with @peakformtesting we completed an RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) test to find out exactly how many calories my body burns just keeping me alive! 📊 The results were an eye-opener! 🔥 My body needs around 2,000 calories a day just to function at rest, BEFORE adding any training! 🚴‍♂️ With training, my daily energy requirements can increase significantly. 💡 The lesson? Losing weight and training for an Ironman isn't just about eating less. It's about fuelling your body correctly so you can train, recover and improve! A massive thanks to the team at Peakform Performance Testing for helping me understand the science behind my journey. 👇 Have you ever wondered if you're eating enough to support your training? #FatManToIronman #Peakform #RMRTest #RestingMetabolicRate #SportsNutrition #IronmanTraining #TriathlonTraining #FuelYourBody #EnduranceTraining #BicycleShippingAustralia

You’ve got to keep the stoke 🔥 Today we’re talking motivation. There are so many things that can cause a dip. Life gets busy, plans change, or something goes wrong at the worst possible time. On this episode we chat about Em’s unfortunate ankle injury two weeks out from her race, what happens when you feel a bit rudderless and start to lose that fire, and the ways you can keep it burning. Tim brings the wise words, and the reminder we all need sometimes: ultimately, we do this for fun. Speaking of fun, we’re designing it right now. For our crew heading into off season training, we’re working on ways to keep a bit of structure while adding some extra special secret sauce to make things super interesting. Cartel athletes, watch this space. Something’s coming your way 👀 🎧 Full episode out now #CartelCoaching #TriathlonPodcast #TriathlonMotivation #OffSeasonTraining #KeepTheStoke

Most of us: runs. Bounces. Hopes for the best. Coach Brazier: “Economy is the oxygen or energy of running at a given submaximal speed.” 🤓 Thank god at least one of us knows what’s going on 😂 In plain English? Running economy is how expensive each kilometre is for your body. And in a 70.3 or an Ironman, you’re never running on fresh legs, so the cheaper each kilometre costs you, the faster you can go (or the same pace for less effort). What wastes energy: 👀 Bouncing. If your head’s going up and down like a pogo stick, that’s energy going nowhere 🦶 Braking. Feet landing out in front of your body 🍑 Hips dropping and swaying side to side The goal is to stay smooth, stable and still holding it together late in the run when everyone else is falling apart. Listen to the full episode on the Cartel Coaching podcast 🎧 or come chat with us on Skool (where the kool kids hang) #runningeconomy #triathlontraining #ironmantraining #70point3 #triathlonpodcast

I’m Em, and I look after the community at Cartel Coaching 👋 I’ve had heaps of curious questions about what actually goes on inside our Skool community, so here it is in under a minute. And no, you don’t have to be a triathlete! Whether you’re a runner, a triathlete or somewhere in between, we’re here for all endurance athletes, with plans built for whatever you’re training for. Plans built by Tim, coach support when you need it, and a crew of athletes all over the world cheering each other on. All for less than half of what you’d pay for traditional coaching. Our community keeps growing and it’s honestly my favourite part of what we do. #triathlon #running #endurance #ironman #703 @cartel.coaching

I’ve been an injury prone runner for as long as I can remember 🙃 I’ve coached myself. I’ve had other support. I’ve seen more physios than I can count. Calves, hips, stress fractures. Every time I started building, something broke. Then I started working with @coach_brazier And of course, I pushed it too hard. He watched, let me learn, then showed me what to actually do. Since then we’ve gone slow. We’ve been sensible. I’ve made better decisions. And for the first time, I’m running long without breaking. What changed👇🏼 🐢 Durability over pace and distance. The goal is to still be running next month. ❤️ Keep it truly aerobic. Run by heart rate, even when it feels embarrassingly slow. 🚶‍♀️ Walk breaks are allowed. Walking in a long run isn’t failing, it’s how I get to finish it. 📵 Take the ego off Strava. Nobody cares about your pace as much as you do. 🏃‍♀️ Form, posture, drills. Running is a push, not a reach, and good form gets rehearsed every week. If you’re always “coming back from a niggle”, this one’s for you 🧡 #injuryproneRunner #runningform #heartratetraining #triathlontraining

Carman’s Fun Run for Breast Cancer Network Australia. Hit a PB which I’m stoked about, especially in 26deg with heat coming back up off the paving and running in some fancy dress too. Very happy with progress first half was 6.3-6.5 pace which puts a marathon in reach now. Learning to fuel and hydrate with a Bariatric stomach is a challenge but so far so good. I felt prepared for this, makes the box jumps and goblet squats worth it 😂 Thanks to the @the.cupcake.cartel, @emz2ironman, and @coach_brazier

This is why @emz2ironman and @coach_brazier make a good team. One of them is calm, sensible and completely unbothered. The other is six tabs deep comparing aero helmets at 11pm asking “but am I READY though?” Take a guess which one is Em 😂 Plot twist, this episode wasn’t even about Em’s Ironman. It’s about hills, and they finally answered the age old question: do hills actually pay the bills? ⛰️ Head to the podcast to find out. Bonus content includes Em rambling about her races that nobody asked to hear about 🎧Podcast linked in our page highlights #ironman #triathlon #hillspaythebills #triathlonpodcast #cartelcoaching
