“Game changing podcast when I found it. Coaches Mike and Robbie changed my mental approach to training by consistently emphasizing that you should be having FUN while training and racing. Their genuine friendship comes across in the podcast and further emphaiszes that training and racing is great...”Read full review »

“There’s a treasure trove of helpful info in these podcast episodes. Huge bonus: it’s never boring!
I’m still relatively new to triathlon and have learned so much from the Crushing Iron podcasts. It also stokes my enthusiasm for training. Thank you!”

“Crushing Iron is an opportunity to learn about the behind-the-scenes thoughts of triathlon coaches —some of the good, some of the bad, and some of the ugly—but mostly uplifting and motivational. Keep up the good work, gents!”

“I listen to a lot of triathlon related podcasts for entertainment, I love the sport. But rarely is there so much usable information in one place. It’s also a great format, just a couple of friends talking about a sport they love…and giving amazing advice along the way.”

“I have been a fan of the podcast for the past several years and am I regular listener. However, recently Robbie has gotten extremely negative. He goes on rants that are hard to listen to. Not sure what he is going through but he seems like he doesn’t even enjoy coaching or triathlons anymore....”Read full review »

I’m a long time hobby triathlete, 66 years old and still training and racing. This podcast has been a godsend for me, as I’m largely a solitary athlete and am infrequently around...”Read full review »
