We interview British elite triathlete and training partner to the Brownlees, Mark Buckingham this week. Mark takes being busy to a whole new level as he starts to make the transition from athlete to coach. Mark fills us in on life as: a performance partner for British Triathlon, a coach with British Triathlon, a Para Guide ahead of the Paralympics and a Businessman with Yonda. He talks us through how the British team are preparing to face the Tokyo heat at the 2020 Olympics and he gives us his thoughts on Ali Brownlee's Ironman debut in Ireland and preparation for Kona.
You can find out more about Mark Buckingham via his website https://markbuckingham.co.uk/ and for the latest Yonda news and developments head to: https://yondasports.com/
