2023 Feature about Ironman Wales
IMW Newbies
We asked two of our first-time IM Wales athletes, Martin and David, to give us a bit of insight into their training before the big day!
IMW Veterans
Some athletes want to do IM Wales more than once - mad, I know! Martin and Tommy are two of our IMW veterans - we asked them a few questions about their race experience, so far!
IMW Ladies Too!
We also have a few ladies taking part this year. We asked Rowena what her training has been like and how she feels about her home IM.
