Kelly brings listener questions to two expert Feisty coaches, with different types of athletes and perspectives: Katie Zaferes and her Auxo Collective development squad, and Alison Freeman, a Level III USAT coach and co-owner of NYX Endurance. They bring their expertise and answers to a wide range of listener questions:

• How to choose the right coach — and when to leave your coach
• What data and metrics to look at, and which ones to ignore
• Moving sessions around and knowing when to cut a workout
• Carb guidelines and GI distress
• Training through pregnancy
• Open water skills
• Race day advice for rolling starts

First, Joanne and Kelly recap this week's races — including a voicemail from Lydia Russell after her podium finish at the N. American 70.3 champs in Happy Valley. And then we hear from the young Daisy Davies after her Ironman S. Africa win earlier year. Daisy's only done two full-distance races and won both of them. What else can we expect from her?

• Why she moved from the short-course British system into long-course — and what she prefers about racing on her own
• How she's already been racing triathlon for a decade, even though she's only 24!
• Being on the Bianchi Pro Triathlon Team and having support behind her
• And what her training looks like right now (volume!) as she gets ready for Challenge Roth and then Kona

What out for the next British star!

Two-time Ironman champ and current Feisty CEO Sara Gross joins the squad this week to talk about the epic results and how she's now trying new things at gymnastics and CrossFit.

And she wants to know: Is it normal for the pro women to all run sub-three-hour Ironman marathons now? What has led us to this point of massive speed and depth in the women's field?

• The epic race in Ironman Hamburg: Solveig Lovseth has now won four Ironmans in 11 months!
• Dumb comments about weight and performance, and why we're happy the pros are moving away from under-fueling
• The sabotage on the Hamburg bike course and if we need to get local communities more invested
• How many sprint triathlons could you do in a weekend?
• And what's changed in the triathlon landscape in Sara's career — has the sport gotten better or worse...

Plus, don't forget to join us for FeistyFest — try something new (not gymnastics, maybe handstands) or learn more about what you already love!

And submit your training and racing questions for our upcoming Coaches Corner episode.
