GTN's very own former pro triathlete Mark Threlfall caught up with 2 time Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee at the Challenge Family The Championship race in Slovakia. This year he has stepped up to race over a longer distance and discusses with Mark the impact this has had on his training and racing.
Alistair shares his insights into racing over middle distance compared to the ITU short course race format. He shares his changes in training routine, the difference in nutrition strategy and pacing come race day.
Keep an eye on the channel later today for a detailed look at Alistair's Scott Plasma TT setup.

Great interview. Loving all the GTN videos so far. Keep them coming.
Another great vid GTN. Keep it up.
Another great video, loving the daily content. Keep them coming. Id like to see a video on getting more aero and how to do it yourself !
Loving the content. Thanks @Global Triathlon Network
I bet the GCN guys loved his comment about cycling. Great interview....thank you for all the great content.
Amazing interview GTN good job
Great interview
Great video. Like two friends having a chat. Love the channel, wish it was around back when I started tri, and thought that running 150km per week was solid training!
Excellent interview with the master. Always good to hear from Alistair. I hope you will be interviewing Johnny soon as well.
Such a nice guy and a monster athlete!!!!
Quality video. Keep these videos up and one day I'll be atop the podium in Kona. 😃☝️🏊🚲🏃
5th! Another great video!
Wishing he recovers well from surgery. Definitely will be missed at 70.3 Worlds.
Christian Andrade massive bummer!
is he injured? when?
Jay Richman hip surgery about a month ago
I love this channel. The presenter is a cross between Ali g and a blue Peter presenter.
Great video 🍗
great advice ali B, running you've got to build up or u can't take the load 👍
Okay … this is a bit of a rant. But, I want to make it clear from the start, it’s not directed at Global Triathlon Network, but at the rest of so-called U.K. sports media.
Very recently, at the 2017 Penticon ITU Duathlon World Championships (Elite Women), Emma Pallent achieved a very credible 3rd placing.
Also, recently, at the 2017 Ironman 70.3 (St. George), Alister Brownlee & Holly Lawrence both achieved 1st places.
Was there any mention of these U.K. athlete’s successes by the ‘sports media’? Nope … not I saw.
If you are an overpaid, under-achiever kicking a ball around a field, then you can guarantee mass coverage. (Oh, & if you are a triathlete, you don’t need to take a break after 45 minutes because your little legs are tired)!
Now, my question is (& probably a very naïve one), is there some way that we U.K. triathletes can work together to make sure our British triathletes (at whatever level they compete at) get the media coverage they so richly deserve?
Is this just a U.K. phenomenon or do the rest of the Global Triathlon Network’s followers experience the same in their countries?
Btw, well done GTN for producing your long over-due Channel & I look forward to seeing it grow from strength to strength.
Charles Roberts - Every kid in the UK kicks a football = extremely competitive sport. Triathlons not so much.
I don't understand some of the comments here; I thought this was great. Like listening to a Podcast interview.
Now i realy say goodbye to Kona whit Alistar in the competition.
Complete beginner in triathlon here but is the benefit of a TT bike compared to a similar road bike with clip on bars ?
Colin Thompson some people can replicate the TT geometry, but most likely not. Aero gains are pretty similar, but hip angle on most road bikes with clip ons limit how long average riders can maintain that position.
Christian Andrade thanks looks like im going shopping
Since the tri-specific TT bikes do not need to comply with the UCI rules, they can be made more aero than most road bikes and some UCI-legal TT bikes. On the other hand, road bikes usually handle better than TT bikes, so for short distance where riders are more likely to ride in close proximity, road bikes might be a safer choice.
The geometry is different on each bike. On a tri bike the seat post is steeper, allowing the hips to come forward and prevent injuries due to overstretching, which can happen when you put a set of clip on bars to your road bike
Lol they ha haven't done the video on Alistair's bike yet so the link's wrong
Did his brother move up in distance too?
Good questions I thought - but you won't ever get much from Alistair Brownlee!
anyone think allotter has the same personality of Chris Froome
it is due to their fabrication process at GSK secret lab. They first tried to upgrade on Wiggo but they prefered starting from scratch.
Is it me or does it look like Alistair is cleaning his bike with a hotel towel? Naughty, naughty...
Interviewer wearing glasses is a big no no !!
When the sun is behind him too!
Is it just me or did that interview seem a little low energy?
Bear with me, I'm new to this too. Hopefully the interview was interesting regardless. Thanks
get Jan Frodeno, that would be awesome.
Sean Jennings I think the Brownlees are just really chilled out guys, from what I've seen. Triathlon's a pretty introspective sport really I suppose.
Certainly interesting! I am loving the content which is being put out there and I feel privileged to watch this stuff, let alone for free! Mark, you're doing a fantastic job and I think you're a really fitting presenter. The same with Heather.
Nah, I think Alistair's just quite shy/ doesn't make much eye contact, and it's hard to animate an interview in that situation without annoying Alistair
Third!
Wow. The 2 time olympic champ looks thin and no muscular cuts. Looks like a regular human. How can he be so fast?🤔😁
What a question ‘are you training smart’ no I’m choosing to be as dumb as possible
First!
Can't wait to see Alistair Brownlee vs Jan Frodeno at Kona! But the field is getting so dense these days that you might well see guys like Patrick Lange or James Cunnama getting the edge.
Jan is untouchable at the moment.

It does'nt make sense. This dude looks like a malnourished uni student not the most savage competitor in the most savage sport.
This was kind of a depressing interview...too low key. If you are looking for motivation don't watch this video. #lowenergy
DJ Lowes In fairness, Alistair is an athlete not a reality TV star. Most athletes are a little dull TBH.
you guys are losing several subscribers! Jesus you guys are boring. More energy less seriousness. More Americans too!
Swimbikeand Run! Hey I'm new to this too, bear with me. Hopefully we're bringing some good advice advice and tips regardless. Thanks
You're doing fine. Keep it up.
