Canadian star Paula Findlay joins Joe for a wide open chat that runs from her meteoric WTCS rise and the weight of London 2012 to the joy of finding her groove in middle distance racing. Paula talks about switching off the gadgets to actually feel her body, why Strava can mess with your head, and how meeting Eric Lagerstrom reshaped her approach to triathlon as a true small business. She breaks down the difference between time trial power and tri power, winning St George years apart in a faster era, and why Holly Lawrence brings the best out of her on race day. There is honest reflection on federation support when you are hot and when you are not, identity beyond results, and how COVID unexpectedly became a reset that led to Challenge Daytona glory and the birth of TTL. Paula shares Ironman plans on the horizon with an eye on Taupō, a playful case for downhill skiing as a fourth discipline, and the simple pleasure of coffee, chocolate, and quiet dog runs. Joe adds a cautionary tale about jalapeños before race day, plus a pitch for go-karts to fix bike descending. A candid, uplifting listen with plenty for pros and age-groupers alike.Join the JYD for exclusive members perks: patreon.com/TheJYDFind out more about Valere: tinyurl.com/valerebigdog Get 20% off your nutrition with Styrkr: https://styrkr.com/SKIPPER To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VKd5PFrhj-qsnWw8VVmyQOr check us out on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/junk_yard_dogz You can follow Joe at https://www.instagram.com/notanotheraveragejoeYou can follow Paula at https://www.instagram.com/paula_findlay Hosted on Acast.

JYD - How We Train Episode 3
Joe and Tyler reunite for an unfiltered catch up that runs from altitude life in Flagstaff to a three race swing through Australia, Malaysia and Japan. Joe revisits his chaotic first Ironman in 2012 with a two gel and peanut butter sandwich plan, and both laugh at the early days of jelly babies and Snickers on the top tube. Tyler talks through a recent crash, the grind of late season form, and the constant battle to keep weight on, while Joe recounts a family holiday in Turkey that turned into water slide warfare. They finish with a bold preview of the Kona women’s race, weighing Lucy Charles Barclay, Taylor Knibb, Kat Matthews and Laura Philipp, then lock in a friendly wager that ends with a beer mile in Arizona. Candid chat, useful numbers, and plenty of pro level banter.Join the JYD for exclusive members perks: patreon.com/TheJYDFind out more about Valere: tinyurl.com/valerebigdog Get 20% off your nutrition with Styrkr: https://styrkr.com/SKIPPER To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VKd5PFrhj-qsnWw8VVmyQOr check us out on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/junk_yard_dogz You can follow Joe at https://www.instagram.com/notanotheraveragejoeYou can folllw Tyler at https://www.instagram.com/therealmislawchuk Hosted on Acast.

JYD - How We Train Episode 2
Joe catches up with Canada’s Tyler Mislawchuk after his blistering Super League run in Chicago. They unpack how team tactics shape Super League racing, why the swims get slower but harder, and how Tyler’s longer aerobic work is boosting both Super League and WTCS form. The chat veers into friendly ribbing about hairlines, weekend race plans, and then pivots to Joe’s Copenhagen tale of a great ride undone by a puncture and why he is now all-in on Nice. They trade views on descent hype at Nice, Morgan Pearson’s antics, and the steady drumbeat of doping news. The second half turns into a fun coaching thought experiment where Joe maps a Kona plan for Tyler and Tyler returns the favour with heat-prep, swim technique tweaks, and hill sprints. They wrap with favourite sessions from the last few weeks.Join the JYD for exclusive members perks: patreon.com/TheJYDFind out more about Valere: tinyurl.com/valerebigdog Get 20% off your nutrition with Styrkr: https://styrkr.com/SKIPPER To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VKd5PFrhj-qsnWw8VVmyQOr check us out on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/junk_yard_dogz You can follow Joe at https://www.instagram.com/notanotheraveragejoeYou can follow Tyler at https://www.instagram.com/therealmislawchuk Hosted on Acast.
