Is a 70.3 an Ironman?

Episode 77: everything you need to know about triathlon as a runner. Every distance from super sprint to full Iron Man, actual mandatory gear vs the nice-to-haves, a realistic weekly training structure for a first-timer, and the beginner mistakes that end most sprint races. Plus Georgia's final episode before becoming a mum, and listener Q&A on long-run recovery and running by effort on the trails.
