Mark and Caroline dive into the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships — the first time this event lands in Europe , hosted in Marbella, Spain . They break down the course specifics , including the challenging hilly bike route that could shape the results. Will this terrain favour the stronger climbers? They also look at the female pros coming straight from Kona — will fatigue and travel impact their form over the shorter distance? And with several short-course specialists lining up, could we see a few surprise performances from athletes who are fresh, fearless, and ready to shake up the field ? Caroline shares her experience winning the first-ever UCI Gravel Race in Thailand , before the pair reflect on visiting the Kanchanaburi War Memorial and the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai — a moving historical stop on their travels. They also talk about Thailand’s incredible cycling conditions : smooth roads, minimal traffic, and endless training potential. The adventure continues as Mark and Caroline begin their first week in Nepal , training and preparing to tackle the Manaslu Circuit — a stunning, lesser-known trekking route reaching over 5,200 m altitude. Their goal? To run/hike the entire circuit in under a week (because of course they would!). Finally, they highlight the Peak Education Nepal charity , meeting the children and families whose lives are changing through listener donations. It’s an inspiring segment that shows the real-world impact of community and compassion. Tune in for racing analysis, adventure stories, and a healthy dose of perspective from two athletes living life on the move. Enjoy!","meta_description":"This week’s episode is packed with racing, travel, and adventure!
