Daniel Bkkegard and Miki Mrck Taagholt in Conversation
Danish triathletes Daniel B\xe6kkeg\xe5rd and Miki M\xf8rck Taagholt join us in Conversation to talk us through why Denmark is on fire when it comes to producing some amazing middle and long distance triathletes. You might have seen their finish line celebrations as they came 3rd and 4th respectively at the 2021 Ironman 70.3 World Championships. They are actually really good friends, as well as training partners! They met via the Danish Federation's Youth Programme after switching from swimming and they are part of a bigger training group with other Danish pros in Odense.\nYou'll hear:\nHow they met\nThe training environment in Odense and why Denmark is producing so many good middle and long distance athletes.\nDaniel talk incredibly openly about the struggles he has had with his mental health. Once you've heard him speak, then you will really understand why he celebrated his maiden Ironman win like he did at Ironman Austria in 2019 \nMiki talk about being a young father and why he ended up having a pizza sitting on the floor of an airport, rather than heading to Vegas to celebrate his 4th place at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships\nTheir thoughts on Strava and why comparing yourself to others won't help you with your own goals\nWhy Miki loves a good sing on the bike\nFind out more about this week's guests \nDaniel B\xe6kkeg\xe5rd Instagram\nMiki M\xf8rck Taagholt Instagram\nLike what you heard?\nLet me know!
