We are away for 2025 on the Koa Sports podcast as we enter our 6th year of podcasting, thanks to everyone who has supported the journey.  Speaking of journey’s, Greg provides a detailed update on #Breaking100 or #Breaking150 depending on whether you’re a death rider or not.

We touch base with the National Road Cycling Championships in Western Australia, as Clint Flood lets us behind the curtains on team strategy for the Koa Sports fondo crew. 

A new contest as Tim and Greg shake hands on a nice bottle of red, who gets the follow first?

What a year it is going to be, as we charge towards start lines across the world.

Koa Sports are the (Per Capita) IRONMAN TriClub World Champions for 2024! 

It’s early days in the #breaking150 but progress has been made, and a chart has been drawn and attached to the studio wall.  Depending on which horse you’ve backed, it’s good and bad news.  Christmas is a most wonderful time of year for many, a time to overindulge and increase that weekly duration.

We wrap up an incredible 2024 of 5 70.3 and IRONMAN regional Titles and 2 World Championship Podiums, as well as countless laughs and stories. 

Is this the last hurrah for 2024, or do the boys have one last episode left in them?

We open proceedings from Taupo in New Zealand for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships on the Koa Sports Podcast and can you believe IRONMAN have courageously provided us with media passes!

Greg promised 3 episodes from Busselton and delivered 1, so we back over some results and after party washup on a highly successful weekend for the team again, it got ugly at the Chinese restaurant again.

Special insights from the course preview bus in Taupo, pokies, popcorn and does Greg have CTE?

Greg hits the Republic of Western Australia for the 20th anniversary of Ironman Western Australia. It's always a remarkable moment the day before an Ironman or 70.3 where athletes are more nervous about the podcast microphone than they are about the race that lies ahead.

Some great short stories about how athletes arrived on the start line for the 2024 IM Western Australia and 70.3.

President of TrainingPeaks Lee Gerakos joins us on the Koa Sports Podcast to talk about the recent announcement and acquisition of IndieVelo to provide athletes with a seamless indoor cycling experience.  TrainingPeaks will offer free beta access for all TrainingPeaks athlete accounts, after March 2025, TrainingPeaks Virtual will be part of TrainingPeaks Premium.

‘Electronic sports (esports) racing has arrived and it’s here to stay! As coaches, you are part of the paradigm shift in the way  athletes can prepare and compete on a world stage, and as athletes, the benefits are extraordinary.

When you think of esports, you might think of video games, where injuries and ailments are along the lines of carpal tunnel syndrome and vitamin D deficiencies. That landscape has shifted though, and now athletes can significantly benefit from various platforms in both cycling and running. Make no mistake, the great outdoors and fresh air will always take centre stage, but this is about complimenting those pastimes’ – Circa 2019, Tim Ballintine
