0:00.0	I got a feeling when I came into triathlon that there was a lot of, well, there'll always be
0:07.0	another opportunity and of course that weakens you in the major championships.
0:12.7	You've got to feel that there isn't, you will die one minute after you finish the race.
0:19.4	That Triathlon Show, episode 96.
0:35.1	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast
0:40.7	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.
0:43.9	I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Malcolm Brown.
0:49.0	I'm sure that many of you will know who he is.
0:51.4	He has been coaching the Brownlee brothers since they were young teenagers

1:24.7	and non-standfords of the the world and many, many others.
1:28.9	And so just in short, he has reached international gold medals at the Olympics, Commonwealth, European and world levels.
1:37.4	And he was the British Triathlon's Olympic performance manager for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
1:44.0	And before his triathlon career, coaching career began,
1:47.6	he was a running coach for UK athletics. So his background in endurance sports is really,
1:53.6	really extensive. And he is now retiring, which is why he had the time, as he will get into
1:59.1	a bit, to do this interview and for which
2:01.4	I'm very very grateful.
