I don’t have as many elite athletes on this podcast as some, but when I do I make sure they have a good story to tell! This week's guest is Will Clarke who I got to know when he was a young man just starting out on his triathlon journey. Since then he has enjoyed a full career as a professional triathlete, representing Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics before turning his hand to racing 70.3 and Ironman events. Will is now a full-time triathlon coach and it was really interesting to chat with him about this journey and how his experiences have shaped his current occupation.
It’s a normal Wardy conversation as we disappear down some rabbit holes and cover plenty of topics including:
- Training as a young athlete and what you might do differently if you had the chance
- How hard is it to make a living as a pro triathlete?
- The biggest misconceptions AG’ers have about being a pro
- How do athlete experiences shape the way you coach?
- How does a retired pro triathlete stay in shape?
