Oh man!! Cliff Hanger!! I had my popcorn out🍿 😂🤣… I think James is going to do better than he thinks 💪🏽. He has that competitive look in his eyes on the preview vid… eye of the tiger 🥳🥳🥳…. Let’s go James!! N Thanks Mark for signing him up for that race 🤙🏽.
Can’t agree more. Wouldn’t mind some additional in-depth movies on the side though. So we can dive in some deeper in some of the information if we want to (like, how did this replan work, how did it manage sickness and etc).
I love the channel and all the presenters and I have a lot respect for James, and while it's possible James could get in good enough shape to qualify for the championship, I'm very doubtful he will achieve that goal, and if he is able to make it, who won't do well. He doesn't have the honest desire to do it. If he really had the fire and need to do it, I believe he not only could, but would have done it already.
It was a great race! Was my first taste of triathlon, I did the Aquabike (recently tore my ACL on road to Barcelona Ironman) the course was mega but the bike was tough that one big climb for a bigger guy like me, nice work on the day James!
Really great video and as I already said looking forward to part two. I also tried HumanGo , I really liked the running workout. The bike workout started really hard, had to ask Hugo to lower my FTP in the program. I needed one warm up to do the warm up. I really understand that your private Tri coach at home, made one longer workout for you. They were way too easy and short in the program. Sometimes I took the idea in HumanGo and made a longer workout. The program is not bad but I prefer my coach. Next season I will be back in his team again. Thank you for the inspiration you all in GTN give me and them who follow you. // Marie-Louise
Interesting! Will check out the app and see if it fits my triathlon clubs workout schedule. It is nicer to be i the pool with friends, even if we are doing different workouts
4:39 I'm trying to imagine how Humango in Drill Sergeant mode would respond to James accidentally pressing the lap split button in his swim session: "The Sponsor has issued you a perfectly good sports watch, Private Cunama. And yet you have failed abysmally to use it properly. Now drop and give me 20."
Looking forward to part 2 and interested in Humango but I would like to see prices on their website. Free trial is one thing but what would I be in for after that is a must?
Hi guys, Need help badly. New to cycling. 6 months training, but there are some weeks I can't get training due to life and other commitments. Did my first triathlon a few Weeks ago, Olympic distance. I've a big problem where by 30kms in, I'm feeling completly out of energy. Legs have no energy, and I feel like I'd love to slump onto the handlebars. It's not that I'm going too fast ( I'm reaching 20kmh in distance) Today, this happened at around the 28- 30km mark. For breakfast, I had a big bowl of porridge with a banana thrown into it. Also before that, I had two small pancakes, with butter and jam. While on the bike, I had water with orange juice through it. Why am I hitting the wall so early?? Its not that I'm underfuelled, I'm not dehydrated either. I'm 6ft 2 @ 100kg, so I know my weight right now isn't ideal for cycling, but surely I shouldn't be bonking this soon. Any advice or tips ??
A lifetime of endurance exercise has likely left him with pretty good muscle memory. Plus James did say he had been running, which is probably the hardest of the disciplines to pick up at short notice.
Great idea, but could you not have given him a truly winning chance with 12 weeks or more? One month sounds like more of a gamble than a longer preparation time
From your perspective sure, it’s fine to beat pros or even x-pros- I try to see how many female pros I beat in a race. But for them, is it really fun to say you won your age group after you’ve retired? For me, this would be a lame self fulfillment. I’d rather find something else to try like heather jackson is doing. But that’s me.
How do you think he would have done at the race? Let us know in the comments below💬
Oh man!! Cliff Hanger!! I had my popcorn out🍿 😂🤣… I think James is going to do better than he thinks 💪🏽. He has that competitive look in his eyes on the preview vid… eye of the tiger 🥳🥳🥳…. Let’s go James!! N Thanks Mark for signing him up for that race 🤙🏽.
He will qualify I’m sure and he will really compete well. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
How did you set up availability? Quality and how many sessions? It would be nice to find out more about this great app!
Great video! This is the type of content you should be publishing.
Can’t agree more. Wouldn’t mind some additional in-depth movies on the side though. So we can dive in some deeper in some of the information if we want to (like, how did this replan work, how did it manage sickness and etc).
I applaud the decision of splitting it in two, this deserves a longer format 👍
Love videos like this…. Nearly blew off my run this morning, watched this and just laced my shoes up…
The best Tri channel on the platform, love the challenges throw at each host and creative production line. Can't wait for the next one.
James is just So Brave!!!! I am cheering, even though it is already done. Can’t wait to watch the next video 🎉
At end of this episode i said aloud to no one in the room.. 'thats cool'.
I'm laughing at the 80s instrumental metal soundtrack when he's working out 😅 and the indiana Jones style of traveling
Lekker James you go boy!!
This is an idea long overdue. Great job!
James is a phenomenal athlete. If anyone can do it, it's James! :)

40 is the best age so far :) let's go. Can't wait for the race movie.
Really waiting for episode 2 😃💪🙌

So so so cool! Would love to see more videos like this. :)

Great video and glad you split it into two episodes.
Great effort from James
In James we believe🎉🤘🏻😂👍🏻
Episode 2 needed ASAP 😂
Like watching a Rocky film…😜 great entertainment!👍 Really looking forward to part 2. Go go go!
Great video - looking forward to part 2. Where do you find an empty swimming pool? 😂
Yay coach Jodie 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Loved that.

"The Sponsor has issued you a perfectly good sports watch, Private Cunama. And yet you have failed abysmally to use it properly. Now drop and give me 20."
Awesome!!!!
Go James!!
Truly inspiring
New baby! Can you do an update on how having a new baby has impacted your, well, everything?
WOW great video guys BUT how long you going to make me wait for the next instalment 🤔😁
Just one week to wait 😊
Looking forward to part 2 and interested in Humango but I would like to see prices on their website. Free trial is one thing but what would I be in for after that is a must?
Oh come on! You can not hit me with a "To be continued..." The suspense is killing me!!!!!
I honestly thought James was about 30...
Great 👍
I love that they keep saying "vulchi" instead of "walchsee" :D
Cliffhanger!
Hi guys,
Need help badly.
New to cycling. 6 months training, but there are some weeks I can't get training due to life and other commitments.
Did my first triathlon a few Weeks ago, Olympic distance.
I've a big problem where by 30kms in, I'm feeling completly out of energy.
Legs have no energy, and I feel like I'd love to slump onto the handlebars.
It's not that I'm going too fast ( I'm reaching 20kmh in distance)
Today, this happened at around the 28- 30km mark.
For breakfast, I had a big bowl of porridge with a banana thrown into it. Also before that, I had two small pancakes, with butter and jam.
While on the bike, I had water with orange juice through it.
Why am I hitting the wall so early?? Its not that I'm underfuelled, I'm not dehydrated either.
I'm 6ft 2 @ 100kg, so I know my weight right now isn't ideal for cycling, but surely I shouldn't be bonking this soon.
Any advice or tips ??
I used ATHLETICA AND HUMANGO.. I don’t know which of the two is better 😅
James Cumberbatch 😂
When's the next episode coming?!
James going from Sutto to Cheerie dispotion is hilarious
didn't James do a 70.3 last year in Uzbekistan in something like 4hr45min....I think he'll be fine
Not a good advert for Coros when other fitness watches automatically detect movement in the water and start the next lap.
This is superb content😊
You must be quite fit if you can get ready for a 70.3 in a month. I suspect you basic fitness level is a bit Higher than most👍
A lifetime of endurance exercise has likely left him with pretty good muscle memory. Plus James did say he had been running, which is probably the hardest of the disciplines to pick up at short notice.
I woulda thought it was pronounced “hyoo-MANGO” like the fruit. Human-go makes sense but sounds very drill sergeant mode lol
AI coach? Hmmm? sounds like something I should try being out in the countryside.
Great idea, but could you not have given him a truly winning chance with 12 weeks or more? One month sounds like more of a gamble than a longer preparation time
Wish it was more than a month.
Challenge Waltschi
Mark you could just pull rank and say I ran 200k in a week, it’s your turn 😂
that slurping from the bottle was really gross brother...
Awesome time for James - 04:37:05. Next year do this challenge without the AI :D
why spoil it in the comments.
@@D1versityArt why read the comments? Much easier to avoid the comments than to try and get everyone on earth to avoid writing things you don't like.
Be better if he had to go back in the pro field.
Total boxxxcks. A good coach etc.....
Hot take: should former pros be allowed to race age group or should they have their own category :)
That’s not a hot take at all. You’re either a pro or you’re not. I would personally love the opportunity to race an ex-pro.
From your perspective sure, it’s fine to beat pros or even x-pros- I try to see how many female pros I beat in a race. But for them, is it really fun to say you won your age group after you’ve retired? For me, this would be a lame self fulfillment. I’d rather find something else to try like heather jackson is doing. But that’s me.
