On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with former Pro Triathlete and World Cup Champion, Andrew MacMartin.
As a young teenager he took a liking to endurance sports, immersing himself in cross country and cycling. But when he heard about triathlon, that became his focus and becoming the best in the world quickly became his long term goal.
Despite tremendous success as a pro athlete, he decided to step away from the sport he loved. After a long hiatus, he found his love for running again. Although he knows he can’t perform at the same level as once did, Andrew is motivated to break a two hour forty minute marathon before he turns fifty and I have no doubt he’ll get there.
