We made it! Episode 50 marks the final show of the year — and what a year it’s been. From awkward mic setups to top-10 chart rankings, this episode is a full-circle reflection on what we’ve built, what we’ve learned, and what’s coming next.

Matt and Georgia go deep on:
– Their favourite episodes (and the one that shocked them both)
– What it's actually like being recognised in real life
– The weirdest fan moment of the year
– Big goals for 2026
– The power of consistency in both podcasting and performance

Plus: your final listener questions of the year, including 70.3 vs. half marathon training, carb drinks, and the #1 piece of advice Matt gives to almost every athlete.

Also inside:
– Georgia’s love/hate relationship with intros
– Why Matt still forgets to ask about her week
– Top listener moments that made us both emotional
– Behind-the-scenes lessons from 50 weeks of weekly drops

🎧 Listener Q&A:
– Can I use a carb drink like Tailwind instead of gels?
– What’s the most common coaching advice you give athletes?
– Can you spend too much time in zone 2?
– Can you train for Hyrox and a sub-2 half marathon at the same time?

In our second-last episode for the year, we’re wrapping up 2025 with a big ol’ reflection. Did we hit our goals? What surprised us? What are we working towards in 2026?

Georgia opens up about what finally cracking sub-4 meant — and how it reshaped her relationship with racing. Matt shares why missing his performance goals stings more than expected, and how he's reframing next year to chase unfinished business. We talk burnout, boundary-setting, prioritising community over personal milestones, and what happens when you find yourself back at square one (but with the wisdom of experience).

Also inside:
– Georgia’s big year: sub-4 marathon, London, co-ownership, brand deals
– Matt’s brutally honest take on falling short of sub-10 Ironman
– 2026 goals: from Lonely Mountain to Project 100
– Why supporting others might just be your next big goal
– Morning run or night run? We kick things off with a rapid-fire “This or That”

– How many B-races can I fit into a marathon block?
– How do I come back after injury or time off?
– What should I focus on with 10 months until my marathon?
– Do I need rest days, or just better structure?
– Why do I feel flat after racing, even with a PB?

It’s the final Q&A of the year and you guys did not hold back. From building up to your first marathon to whether you can jump straight into an Ironman, Georgia and Matt answer your most asked questions.

Georgia opens up about triathlon nerves, building back energy after a tough few weeks, and why 2026 is her year to start owning her role as co-owner of TPP. Matt breaks down long run strategy, injury confidence, and his approach to helping athletes stay consistent (even when everyone around you is chasing PBs).

– Should I do a separate block for half + full marathon or combine them?
– How long should my long runs be in marathon prep?
– Can I do an Ironman without doing a 70.3 first?
– Do I have to train for performance, or can I just run for fun?
– Heart rate says one thing, body says another — which do I trust?
– Time-based vs distance-based training — which is better?
– Triathlon 101: What actually happens in transitions?
– How do I rebuild after a stress fracture or injury?
– Am I actually getting fitter or just better at suffering?
