This week on All In Triathlon, we sit down with one of the toughest and most honest voices in the sport — Non Stanford.
Non shares her journey to the very top of triathlon, going from a part-time athlete to U23 World Champion in 2012, before becoming Senior World Champion just 12 months later in 2013. She remains the first and only female athlete to make that jump from U23 world champion to senior world champion within a single year.
But with rapid success came a heavy cost.
We talk through the years of injuries, missed races and lost seasons, and how it all built toward the emotional low point of finishing 4th at the Rio Olympic Games — a result that left Non in a very dark place mentally.
In this episode, Non opens up about how deep those struggles went, the pressure of elite sport, and how she slowly fought her way back — rebuilding herself both as an athlete and as a person — to once again compete among the best in the world.
A powerful and honest conversation about the real cost of elite sport, the ultimate highs, and the deepest of lows.

This week on All In Triathlon, we discuss Jelle levelling up the production on last weeks pod discovering a new filter that somehow makes us look 10 years younger, and give a shoutout to the YouTube channel where you can now watch the pod in all its glory. Although a few people pointed out AIT HQ still looks suspiciously like Aaron’s living room… we’re calling it “minimalist studio vibes.”
On the triathlon side, we dive into the hot topic of the 20m draft rule and what it really means for racing, and debate who would win in an “equal proportioned” triathlon of 10/90/34.
We finish with our Strava Picks of the Week. Jelle backs Brice Kadlek from last week, while Aaron goes with Parker Kerth, who casually logged 40 hours of training when only prescribed 32, with the caption:
 “Felt too good for a Monday so did the main set twice.”

We’re back with the first episode of 2026! Jelle and Aaron recap their off-seasons and Christmas break, and catch up on what they’ve been up to during the three-week podcast break. Jelle kicks off the year with two podiums from two races, but wasn’t quite strong enough to shake Aaron in their latest duel. We debate what we think is the most important leg in triathlon and finish the episode by answering your questions.
We’re also stoked to welcome Precision Fuel & Hydration on board as our show sponsor. You can get 15% off by using the code ALLINTRIATHLON at checkout.

We hand out our All In Triathlon Best & Fairest awards for the year — the highs, the heroes, and the moments that stood out

Today on the All In Triathlon Podcast:
Jelle returns from Bahrain after teaming up for the Ironman 70.3 Bahrain relay. We also preview the Qatar T100 Grand Final — big field, big stakes, and probably big chaos.
Meanwhile, Aaron heads to Wollongong and almost ruins Christmas by accidentally exposing Santa to his mate’s daughter. Elite athlete… amateur festive security.
Then we dive into Alex Yee’s outrageous 2:06:36 Valencia Marathon. Truly disgusting behaviour. So we’re left asking:
Is Alex Yee actually the best endurance athlete on the planet right now?
