The Jake Dearden Podcast

Jonny Brownlee joins the podcast just days after announcing his retirement from professional triathlon. We talk about growing up alongside Alistair, cycling to school, building an enormous training base, Olympic preparation, recovery, nutrition and what it really takes to compete at the highest level. Jonny also opens up about Rio 2016, the race he wishes he had approached differently, the heat exhaustion that affected the later years of his career, long-term injury, and the sacrifices that came with being an elite athlete. Now retired from professional sport, Jonny talks about family, the freedom to say yes again, his plans for the Brownlee Foundation and Brownlee Fitness, and why he isn't retiring from sport itself — just the strictness of professional sport.
