Summary

In this episode, Mark is joined by his wife, elite gravel racer and former elite triathlete Caroline Livesey, for a jam-packed chat. They tackle why female gravel racers deserve a fair race, unpack the recent TriDot–Ironman coaching split, and debate the pros and cons of using route-finder apps like Komoot. The pair also share their experience racing the legendary Alpe d’Huez Triathlon in France — epic climbs, breathtaking views, and all. Listener Gaz Hughes reports back after winning a Treacle Velo training week prize, and to round things off, the much-missed “triathlon excuse” segment makes a triumphant (and hilarious) return. https://treaclevelo.com/ https://peakeducationnepal.com/
