Something we haven't done before... We take you through Steph's training week, the totals, session breakdowns and how they went! AND THEN, more excitingly, a whistle-stop debrief of our run analysis session with Paul Brice.

Racing season is just around the corner, it's about to heat up.

OWN YOUR HARD WORK. It's cool to care!

Welcome back to Buck the Trend! On this week's pod we give you a little more insight into two of Steph's new partner announcements for 2026 (thank you for all of your support!) before diving into the debrief from our training camp in Lanzarote...

Race season is fast approaching, stay tuned as we bring you along for the Ironman Pro Series 2026!

IT'S 2026! And we are back, into training AND with the podcast. Big news this week as Pro Tri News release the results of the drafting zone survey and rumours spread that Ironman are meeting to consider actions following their own testing. Tune in to hear our thoughts!

Plus some general "return to training" chat, PoTS updates and a Watt the Buck!

We are Steph and Matt. Steph's a professional long distance triathlete and Matt does everything BUT the triathlon to keep the wheels turning, the lights on and food on the table. Join us as we navigate the business of triathlon, the joy of sport, and a life traveling and racing around the world.

It's an exciting time of year. Steph has energy, 2025 is done and reflected on and the plans for 2026 have started to take shape!

Tune in to hear our highlights from this year as well as plenty of the thoughts that go into creating next years race plan - and a race announcement right at the end too...
