Welcome to Episode 424 of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by

Scientific Triathlon.com.

I'm our host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Jacob Tipper.

This is perhaps a slightly different type of interview, as we will be discussing Jacob's

personal experience of coming into triathlon from elite cycling background, although as he will explain he did do triathlon in his youth.

But we will discuss learnings he has taken from this transition from elite road cycling and track cycling into triathlon.

And one of the objectives with this type of interview is to explore both similarities and

differences between training as a single sport cyclist in this example.

But in the future, I hope to do similar type of episodes with single sport swimmers turning

into triathletes, single sport runners turning into triathletes and so on to get a bit of a comparison of what's similar but also what is different.

My hope is that I can get some good guests lined up for similar episodes in the other disciplines of triathlon, but for now let's start with cycling with Jacob Tipper.

Yeah, I'm good. Thanks. So how was your run this morning? You told me that you were going to tell me about it on air, so let's start with that.

I don't, yeah, I don't want to open up with a pretty bang average run, but no, I was just

saying that running is finally starting to improve, and it's definitely good for headspace,

seeing that the effort you put in in is actually finally starting to pay off because
