The Ironman Journey with Ruth Astle

Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast

With the Ironman World Championships happening this week I wanted to share a conversation with one of our British females who will be racing.

Back in May, Ruth Astle finished an amazing 5th place at the 2021 version of the IMWC in St George Utah. As she bids for another top 5 finish we chat abut her journey from age group novice to world-class athlete in just 10 years. We get into a lot of topics, including:

• The start of her triathlon journey
• A big breakthrough
• From AG to pro-athlete - what did she change about her training/lifestyle
• Working for Lloyds & balancing work with triathlon racing/training
• St George race and result
• The Sub 8 project with Kat Matthews and "happy heads make for fast legs"
• Kona preparation & expectations
