The Cartel: A Triathlon Podcast
Olympic-level coach. Ex-professional triathlete. Age-grouper who went from 148kg on the couch to the Ironman World Championship in Kona.
Tim Brazier coaches athletes from first-timers to the Olympic Games. Cal Millward is a 2x Ironman 70.3 Boulder champion and ex-pro navigating his way back to racing. Em (@emz2ironman) is the one asking the questions you're thinking but would never post in a forum.
Every episode we break down the sport from every angle — training, racing, nutrition, gear, mindset, and the reality of fitting it all into a normal life. No gatekeeping. No jargon for the sake of it. Just honest conversations that actually help you get better.
