In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we welcome 21-year-old Age Group Athlete, Max Jakobsson, as he prepares for his very first triathlon—a full-distance Ironman in Cervia, Italy at Ironman Italy Emilia-Romagna. Balancing life as a full-time dock worker in Sweden, Max has taken on the challenge of training for one of the toughest endurance events in the world. He shares how he enlisted a coach to refine his swim technique, found a used Trek Speed Concept bike, and has been training with the same nutrition he’ll rely on race day. Mike offers advice on pacing, including a potential run-walk strategy, and discusses the importance of having a mental plan when things get tough. With 10 friends cheering him on in Italy, Max is ready to prove that doubt can fuel determination.
