Sam Appleton joins me in the studio. Sam is one of the most successful middle-distance triathletes on the planet.   Winning a multitude of the biggest IM 70.3s in the world, placing 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th at the IM 70.3 World Championships. To me, it feels like his time to crack the podium and take the win will be soon.   If the World Championships were in the Napa Valley wine region of California this man would have plenty of hardware... he’s won, the Vineman now Santa Rosa 70.3 four times from five starts.   He’s currently ranked 12th on the World Rankings with enormous potential to leap up to the top.   It’s a pleasure to have one of the best men I know in the studio.   In this episode, Sam is an open book. He shares the ups and downs of being a professional athlete with absolute honesty and vulnerability. We have some fun with the rapid-fire questions and Sam describes his intent for the 2022 season.   I personally thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.   Discount Codes and Deals   Athletic Greens - a FREE year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase by visiting athleticgreens.com/greg FormSwim Goggles - formswim.com/greg for $15 off - The coupon will be automatically added to the cart.
