Can We Beat The Kona Record? | GTN Vs Jan Frodeno

It should be the Ironman World Championships in Kona, so in true GTN style, we've decided it's time for a big challenge! Can we break the Kona course record set by Jan Frodeno in 2019? Thanks to our friends at Zwift and Form Swimming, and pro triathlete Kat Matthews, we gave it a good old go!

well done guys and HUGE respect to Jan

[jazznroll]

I can easily break the world record. I will do:

76x50 all out swimming intervals with 2 min recovery between intervals.
180x1000 all out cycling intervals with 5 min recovery between intervals.
42x1000 fast running intervals with 5 min recovery between intervals.

The intervals will spread within a week.
Eeeeazy!

Super effort! I love these “challenge” videos. They’ve really been a bright spot this year. I miss Fraser though and hope he is doing ok.

That was a phenomenal effort guys. Really brings to life how much the elite athletes can push their selfs. Well done everyone

Phenomenal effort from all 3 of you, the having to get back on it after each stint must have been torture. Great work 👍🏻

Epic work, Team GTN! I love GTN's commitment to Kona. Nothing screams commitment more than swimming in open water on a brisk, British autumn day (with a stunning autumnal backdrop) to kick start a Kona record attempt!
