How to get started in triathlon — and other news

Joanne is back! And tells us her favorite place to train in the whole world...

Then we have a special cross-over episode with our new Feisty running podcast, Another Mother Runner. Kelly joined the AMR team to talk about how runners can get started in triathlon — and she answers all the most common questions:

Breaking down the different distances and picking races
How to learn to swim as an adult
What gear is optional and what is absolutely necessary
Advice for your first race

Then Joanne & Katie share their best advice and their triathlon origin stories.

But before that, it's all latest news in the triathlon world: a sprint finish in Chengdu, the WTCS Yokohama line-up this weekend, and the return of the IM Pro Series.

Get our free Feisty 12-week plan for your first sprint triathlon (or share it with a newbie triathlete). And check out more from Another Mother Runner on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Youtube.
