Been really enjoying the Physical Performance podcasts
My background is in running: racing in the 70s and coaching from then on until last season.
I became the running coach of surf ironman Guy Andrews from his age 15 to 22 – and in that time there were a few aquathon / biathlons where the (usually small) field included Brad Beven. So I followed Brad right through the 90s and really felt for him missing out on Sydney 2000.
Hence I was drawn to your Brad Bevan podcast for my first listen.
Next up it was Chris McCormack … another who missed out on Sydney 2000
Both excellent programs
So, to my mind, a good followup podcast to these two would be Emma Carney – yet another triathlete, like Brad, virtually unbeaten through the 90s but missing out on Sydney 2000.
I can well image her story would be very interesting as she seemed to be a complex personality
BTW: I also enjoyed your Maddie Hills podcast … she’s such a talent
Hi Trev,
Thanks very much for your message.
That’s great re Brad and Guy.
I agree Emma would be interesting indeed!
Did you enjoy Macca’s?
