The Koa Sports Podcast

Josh Lohse and Josh Everett are both on the road to Kona in 2026, both are AG Champions.  Having joined Koa Sports at different times for different reasons their pathways, goals and expectations are different and unique,  as with all athletes!
 
We talk through their experiences so far in the sport and as AG athletes what keeps the meter ticking over in between 16–30-hour training weeks. 
 
A revealing quiz just highlights the gap between their Coach Tim Ballintine (40), and the under 25 general knowledge… kids these days!
 
Cairns after party, DM’s, AI and plenty more.

As Greg starts to settle into local Vietnamese culture and cuisine, there are early signs of homesickness kicking in, we unpack those feelings and remind him to continue to push them down.
 
Front doors without keys, fancy sheets and fridges with stickers, it’s just a different world in Danang.
 
What has a greater valuation IRONMAN or HYROX? 
 
Training hours are through the roof as some of triathlons greatest events are just around the corner and out athletes put in the hard yards to ensure goals are hit!

Feedback is a gift and we lifted from a 3/10 to at least a 5/10 this week!  We are joined by new Koa Sports athlete Henry, we can’t say his full name cause that’ll ruin the punch line. 
 
Commonwealth Games is on, just FYI.
 
The tin foil hat comes out as the first crack in the governments de population program takes another hit, Tim is all over it.

Although many wished it was the finale for the Koa Sports Podcast, we rose from the ashes and found a way to give the people what they want!  Koa has always been a true innovator.
 
Garmin acquired TrainingPeaks, that’s a big deal whilst Greg mocks Tim’s unbelievable athletic achievements.  Who wouldn’t feel a little down moving back home at 47 years old?

We say goodbye to the 4th KSP studio in our 8 year history, but perhaps this one holds the most precious memories, we even baptised a coach.
 
It’s time Greg got to know a little more about the Vietnamese culture and history, so we bring back Tims country game with some fun facts about this great land.  We cover off your name suggestions and a top ten from Tims extraordinary brain.
