Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
The word “legend” is used too frequently these days, like describing the pizza delivery guy who arrives when you’re hungry. However, in the case of this week’s guest, calling him a legend is absolutely the right word. Dave Scott is “The Man”! He’s won the Ironman World Championships no less than 6 times and in its early days he was dominant. He retired and then made a comeback at the age of 40, finishing second behind rising star Greg Welch. Since his last Ironman in 2001, Dave has carved out a career as a triathlon coach (advising other Ironman World champions such as Craig Alexander and Chrissie Wellington) and motivational speaker.
When I first started in triathlon, there were no coaches but I did manage to find a triathlon book, Dave Scott Triathlon Training, which I still have to this day. In fact, I managed to get it autographed by Dave when we met for the first time at the Eilat triathlon in 1989.
Dave is a forthright character and isn’t afraid to voice his opinion. When you listen to this conversation you’ll get real insight to one of the greatest Ironman triathletes ever, including:
