Tech We Actually Use: From Swim Toys to Rider Safety

What bits of tech are actually worth the money when you’re a triathlete or endurance athlete? And what’s just another gadget to add to the drawer?!

This week on Miles from Ordinary, we’re talking all things tech, sharing our favourite bits of kit, the tools we rely on, and the recommendations you’ve sent in.

From swim toys and training platforms to wearables, gadgets and rider safety, we cover the tech that’s making a difference to how you train, race and go about your everyday lives.

We also share your favourites, because who better to recommend a bit of kit than the people actually using it?

Whether you love a new gadget, want to train a little smarter, feel safer on the bike or simply want to know what’s worth investing in, there should be something for you.

As always, we’re keeping it practical, honest. Because sometimes the best bit of tech is genuinely game-changing… and sometimes it’s just another thing to charge.

🎧 Tune in, steal some recommendations and let us know what’s your favourite bit of tech right now?

We're Back! Baby Updates, Kona & Listener Q&A

We're back! After a two-week break to give Jess some very good reasons to be otherwise occupied, Bex and Jess are back behind the mics and there's plenty to catch up on.

First up, we welcome little Orla into the world and hear how life has been since her arrival. Then it's time to turn our attention to the Big Island for a Kona debrief, sharing our thoughts on the Ironman World Championships and everything that makes Kona such a unique race.

And, of course, we finish by answering your listener questions. Because you never disappoint when it comes to giving us things to discuss!

A bit of life lately, a bit of triathlon, and a good old catch-up. Just how we like it.

Welcome back to Miles from Ordinary!

The season is over. The races are done. The training plan has disappeared… so what exactly are we supposed to do now?!

This week, Jess and Bex are talking all things end-of-season breaks. What they actually look like, what we love about them, and the bits that can be surprisingly difficult.

From eating everything in sight and rediscovering your social life, to the guilt of not training, worrying about losing fitness and wondering who you are when you don't have a race to train for, we dive into the very different ways athletes approach their time off.

We also share some of your listener experiences including the people who genuinely embrace doing absolutely nothing, those who can't resist picking up another sport, and the ones who say they're taking two weeks off… before sneaking out for an "easy" run four days later.

Because sometimes the hardest part of training is knowing when to stop.
