What does it take to go from consistent age-group triathlete to Ironman podium finisher and Kona qualifier? In this inspiring episode, Samantha Zeps shares how she’s levelled up her performance with smarter fuelling strategies, better recovery habits, and a fresh mindset around nutrition.
From a 14-minute PB at Geelong 70.3 to winning her age group at Busselton Ironman, Sam opens up about the real changes that moved the needle — like ditching fasted training, nailing her carb loading, and fuelling properly to perform and parent. If you're dreaming of Kona or chasing your own next PB, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and serious motivation.
