RH Episode #3 - World Class Triathlete Tim Reed
12/12/19 • 43 min
Today we talk to 2016 World 70.3 Triathlon Champion Tim Reed.
Tim is most likely Australia's best 70.3 athlete and has made serious inroads into the Ironman distance, having won Ironman Australia and setting the run course record, and in the same year he won the Ironman 70.3 World Championship on the Sunshine Coast.
Tim speaks about that banner year in 2016 and the mental adjustment taken which provided a breakthrough in his performances.
We go in depth to what the nature of mental resilience means to him, and what Tim does to keep himself grounded whilst juggling the demands of a full time professional career and the role of a family man.
Tim has great clarity around his situation and articulates it very well, and I hope you enjoy the interview and can take something from it. Obviously it’s working for Tim as he is still setting course records and winning globally.

RH Episode #2 - Uber Age group Triathlete: Hayden Armstrong
He has won so many races I can’t count them. Often at speeds pro athletes would be proud of. Hayden has podiumed at World championships, won Ironman and 70.3 categories over many years. He has finished top 10 overall in several Ironmans including an 8:45 at Ironman New Zealand last year, from an age group start and has often been the first age grouper home. His palmarés is so long I wouldn’t have the time to list it out.
Hayden is certainly no stranger to toughness and mental resilience. He is called upon by Richie Porte and Cam Wurf for a training partner when they are home, such is his strength and consistency. You can bet if he is racing, he will be as tough as nails. Hayden is also one of my longest coach/athlete relationships.
Hayden is also the principle at Armstrong’s Insurance Brokers, a thriving insurance business in Hobart Tasmania, that has seen big growth over the years. As well as being a Husband and father to a small family. I thought Hayden would be the perfect man to talk family, elite sport and business and the nature of what mental resilience across such a broad life actually means to him.

On today’s Roaring Heads Podcast we have triathlon coach Mark Turner. Mark has run a very successful triathlon business on the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Mark is an extremely passionate and thoughtful human. He made the big jump to move his Family to Scotland to take over the role of head coach of Triathlon Scotland.
In this podcast we discuss the in and outs of coaching and the mental game that underpins the value of the whole process between athlete and coach.
We talk of the value of personal integrity and the realm of vulnerability that so many athletes and coaches struggle with.
Whether you are a coach or an athlete, I feel like this will be well worth a listen. Hope you enjoy!
