Tim Van Berkel — Two Decades in Triathlon Then vs. Now

Tim Van Berkel — Two Decades in Triathlon Then vs. Now

In this episode, I sit down with Australian Ironman legend Tim Van Berkel for a raw and fun chat about the evolution of triathlon over the past 20 years.

We swap stories from the early days of racing, brutal sessions, and the and dig into how the sport, athletes, and coaching have changed with technology and time.

Tim shares his perspective on what’s kept him competitive for so long, what today’s pros might be missing, and how he approaches training now both as an athlete and a coach.

Whether you’ve been in the sport for years or just got your first tri bike, this one’s packed with insight, laughs, and a bit of nostalgia for the “old school” tri days.

Topics we cover:

  • Early racing memories and classic training stories
  • How triathlon has evolved over two decades
  • Balancing longevity with performance
  • The role of coaching and mentorship
  • Where the sport is heading next
