Dr. Dan Plews is a sports scientist, endurance coach, and one of the fastest age group IronMan athletes on the planet. And these days you’ll find him with his shirt off at one of those Hyrox events.
You may not know the name, but you definitely know some of his clients- Dame Lisa Carrington, Emma Twigg, Eric Murray, Hamish Bond and Team NZ to name a few. Actually, it was double Olympic gold medallist Eric Murray who messaged me suggesting Dr Dan as a podcast guest.
Athletes and teams that Dr Dan Plews have worked with have collectively won over 30 Olympic and world titles.
In this episode as well as learning more about this low-key legend, some of the stuff we look at includes:
* Lessons from coaching Olympic and world champion athletes
* The biggest mistakes everyday athletes make.
* Longevity in sport - how to stay competitive into your 40s and beyond. Why, at 43, he believes he is still nowhere near done.
And so much more!
