from The Amateur Athlete Diaries · host Amateur Athlete Diaries

Episode three of this series brings a powerful, honest episode, where I get to sit down with triathlete, runner, coach and family man Jayson, whose journey through Ironman racing has not only reshaped his life, but quite literally saved it.Our conversation dives into:- How triathlon transformed from a bucket-list goal into a lifeline- The pressure, joy, addiction and emotional rollercoaster of endurance sport- Training like a pro while balancing work, family and life- Using running, strength work and structure to stay mentally resilient- A raw, brave conversation about depression, hitting rock bottom and finding a way out- How sport became a family affair, and why his kids motivate him more than anything- Qualifying for IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships & chasing that sub-3 marathonThis was a deeper conversation than others but one that offered raw insight into the powerful impact sport can have on an individual.I'd like to thank Jasyon again for his openness, his story is a reminder that behind every Amateur Athlete is a human being juggling life, responsibilities and their own battles. If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, mental health, or balancing training with life…this one is for you.If you are struggling please talk to someone. If you feel you cannot do this with a friend or family, there are charities like the Samaritans who will support. Their phone number is: 116 123.
