Simon Ward and Sam Dickinson

Following on from the huge triathlon success of the Brownlee brothers, there is a new wave of triathletes eager to continue flying the flag for British Triathlon.  Many of them are based at the High Performance Centre in Leeds including today's guest, Sam Dickinson.

At 20 years old Sam is one of the brightest prospects in the UK, and a member of the World Class Performance Pathway group. In today's podcast we talk about:

• How having a multi-sport background was an advantage as a young triathlete
• Making the decision to be a full time athlete at the age of 18
• Training with your idols
• Being part of the most successful triathlon centre in the world
• Dealing with injuries as a young athlete
• A typical week of training at the Leeds High Performance Centre
