This week, we have a New Year special for you - a 75 minute interview with Mark Allen, 6 time Kona champion and legend of triathlon. Back in the spring, Rob traveled to the USA to take part in a three day retreat with Mark and shaman Brandt Secunda, and managed to record this interview with Mark during the following May. We ran this interview in two parts earlier this year - but it was Rob's favourite interview of the year, so here it is, 75 minutes long and perfect for your New Year's long run :)
