Sam gets the chance to speak with Chris 'Becko' Beckmans - 8:28 Ironman Triathlete, 1:12 Half-Marathoner and an all around accomplished endurance athlete. Chris grew up in Wagga and studied at UOW, though he flew under the radar as a very gifted athlete while he carved up the South Coast AFL Comp for the Wollongong Bulldogs.
Years down the track Chris is now living in the UK and sticks to a very impressive training routine. We hear about his training philosophy, including how he approached the Bike, Swim and Running disciplines intuitively to get the most out of himself, how his background as a physio enables him to apply strength and recovery routines seamlessly and how he approaches nutrition across the various races that he competes in.
Chris also applies his experience in training and racing to other athletes as he coaches numerous athletes in Australia and the UK, we get to hear how he approaches programming and weekly schedules.
