Jonny Brownlee joins the podcast just days after announcing his
retirement from professional triathlon.

We talk about growing up alongside Alistair, cycling to school,
building an enormous training base, Olympic preparation,
recovery, nutrition and what it really takes to compete at the
highest level.

Jonny also opens up about Rio 2016, the race he wishes he had
approached differently, the heat exhaustion that affected the
later years of his career, long-term injury, and the sacrifices
that came with being an elite athlete.

Now retired from professional sport, Jonny talks about family,
the freedom to say yes again, his plans for the Brownlee
Foundation and Brownlee Fitness, and why he isn't retiring from
sport itself — just the strictness of professional sport.
