Pete Jacobs: Find what works for you
2012 Ironman World Champion Pete Jacobs is a fascinating person to both interview and listen to.\xa0Pete was originally a landscape gardener before he became a professional athlete at the age of 21.\xa0He won in Kona when he was 30, by which point he had done an incredible 30 Ironman races, including finishing 2nd in 2011 and recording the 3rd fastest marathon in the race\u2019s history with a 2h41m05 in 2010.\xa0\xa0\xa0\nAfter 2012, he was very public about his on-going battle with fatigue, something he has dealt with since he was a teenager.\xa0He\u2019s had loads of tests done and he has tried various different diets to reduce inflammation from foods and he is currently a strict carnivore \u2013 his diet is JUST meat.\nYou'll hear:\n*Why training LESS helped him to become World Champion\n*If a meat only diet leaves him constipated\n*His advice for staying mentally strong and focussed on good run technique during the run leg of a triathlon.\n*His hopes to get back to the pointy end of racing.\nYou can make your own mind up about whether you agree with what he says or not, but the message to take from it is we are all different\xa0and the training and diet that works for one person, might not be right for you and comparing yourself to others is pretty pointless.\nLike what you heard?\nIf you liked this episode please share it with a friend, if you could get involved on social media, by following @Insidetrishow on twitter and Instagram, commenting and sharing posts, that would be lovely.\nConnect with Pete via\xa0his website,\xa0Instagram\xa0or\xa0twitter\nHELEN GETS INTERVIEWED!\nListen to the recent interview I did with\xa0Tri Oraklet\xa0here:\xa0https://soundcloud.com/tri-oraklet/helen-murray-inside-tri-show\nSUPPORT THE SHOW BY SHARING IT\nPlease support the show by sharing it with a friend, telling them about it and spreading the word and get involved on social media.
