What on earth does it take to complete 100 Ironmans in 100 days? James Lawrence – aka the Iron Cowboy – joins the podcast to share the physical, mental and nutritional toll of his epic Conquer 100 challenge. Spoiler: it involved over 12,000 calories a day, a few Costco muffins, and being fed through a massage table hole.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned triathlete, James drops some absolute gold on building resilience, fuelling with real food and why consistency beats perfection every time.

We talk about;


Meet James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence


Why 100 Ironmans? (and how it started with a 4-mile fun run)


The perfect Ironman day and the role of nutrition


Real food fuelling: burritos, pizza, steak on the run


Caloric needs, gut training and sugar overload


What went wrong when fuelling slipped


Mindset, purpose and managing pain through adversity


Blue collar habits, unsexy consistency and building a strong foundation


James’s current nutrition approach and fuelling tips


Meet the support team and key recovery strategies


Advice for age groupers struggling with motivation or consistency


What’s next for James (hint: it’s not 200 Ironmans)
