The Performance Project Podcast

The coach writing their training plans is the person they're trying to beat.Beat The Coach Ep 1. Holly Mills, an ex-GB heptathlete chasing Kona in her third triathlon, and Zoe, Army officer turned Ironman, join Matt and Ant from camp, six weeks out from Busselton. No splits, no rolling start, first across the line wins.

“When I tell you something, it’s because I fucked it up.”Matt and Ant answer questions from their own athletes after Ironman Australia weekend. Kieran finished three years after the swim was cancelled on his first attempt, on training that was “a real fifty-fifty.” Then the coaches admit to rules they’ve broken: race-day shoe swaps, new gels, aerobars moved four weeks out. They also explain why programming is “such a small part of” coaching.💻 Join The Performance Project Coaching:https://performanceproject.typeform.com/apply?utm_source=btfl📸 Follow The Performance Project:https://www.instagram.com/the_performance_project_/📸 Follow Coach Matt:https://www.instagram.com/mattb_performance/📸 Follow Coach Ant:https://www.instagram.com/moore_mvmnt/

Ant crashed his bike, Matt’s already locked in three races for the first four months of 2027, and he’s still thinking about not racing at all.TPP has signed the lease on a warehouse that will become a studio and athlete space. Matt and Ant also reveal the 2027 community race calendar: two tri, two road and two trail, with the whole team at every one. Eight weeks out from Busselton, Matt weighs giving up a year of racing for short-course speed, built for the long game.💻 Join The Performance Project Coaching:https://performanceproject.typeform.com/apply?utm_source=btfl📸 Follow Coach Matt:https://www.instagram.com/mattb_performance/📸 Follow Coach Ant:https://www.instagram.com/moore_mvmnt/📸 Follow The Performance Project:https://www.instagram.com/the_performance_project_/

I don't care about making money on the camps — all I care about is not losing money.Matt and Ant give you the first look at TPP's 2027 training camps: Jindabyne, Blue Mountains, Canberra, the Sunny Coast, Port Macquarie and Kosci, plus a school camp and a possible luxury recovery weekend. Every camp includes meals, fuel, exclusive merch and your own photo pack, and every level is welcome. Before that, they cover a hailstorm on a Kosci trail camp and why Ironman opening every 2027 race at once hurts everyday athletes.💻 Join The Performance Project Coaching:https://performanceproject.typeform.com/apply?utm_source=btfl📸 Follow Coach Matt:https://www.instagram.com/mattb_performance/📸 Follow Coach Ant:https://www.instagram.com/moore_mvmnt/📸 Follow The Performance Project:https://www.instagram.com/the_performance_project_/

If you can't run one kilometre at 5:35 pace, you're not fast enough to run a sub-four marathon, so there's no point worrying about how far you can run.Matt and Ant break down how they set 2027 goals with TPP athletes, and why booking the next race is usually the wrong first move. Matt's framework comes down to one question: are you fast enough, or durable enough? They explain why the race-to-race cycle keeps athletes stuck, how to use B races as testing grounds, and how goal setting differs for triathletes and runners.💻 Join The Performance Project Coaching:https://performanceproject.typeform.com/apply?utm_source=btfl📸 Follow The Performance Project:https://www.instagram.com/the_performance_project_/📸 Follow Coach Matt:https://www.instagram.com/mattb_performance/📸 Follow Coach Ant:https://www.instagram.com/moore_mvmnt/
