From OVERWEIGHT Amateur to PRO Triathlete in 36 Months

This is my journey! From overweight to a professional triatlete in 36 months. I decided to put all the data and a recap of sessions in there that got me to the place where I am today.

Some people just have genetic talent. For everyone: please don't expect to achieve these times easily, even if you invest the 15+ h of training. The training response of this guy is abnormally high.

Really enjoying these videos. Having listened to the TM podcast from the beginning, it's actually really interesting to now hear your story in more detail..here's to a killer 2024 Tom!

Insane story. Honestly I did not think you could make such great process but it motivated me to increase my volume. I would also be interested in you nutrition since you had great training great recovery and nutrition influences both

Woooow👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥 what a great history 😊you made my day, incredible your evolution in a short time, I think you are a really great talent for Ironman 🤩 I am 68 years old and a great fan of Ironman especially Jan Frodeno, I had the luck to be a few meters away from him when he started Ironman World Championship in Nizza, I made some shorts on my YouTube channel to remember 😊, I only run Halfmarathon after a break of 35 years 😮 last ones in London and Miami and it was a great pleasure 🤩 wish you all the best 😀

I studied in NL, now back in Thailand. Also training for triathlon to race in my country. Your story is inspiring and your accent makes me miss life in NL so

Amazing transformation! I used to be myself overweight in the past and now a lot leaner, im also into triathlon.

Hard work well-rewarded. Inspirational!

Great story Tom. I didn't know you had collapsed in your first Kona.

I can relate to your story. I bought my first bike in 2016, first half in 2017 and first full in 2018. Had great results but nothing compared to yours. I was so naive but motivated... And mentally stronger than now! Nowadays I give much more respect (and scare) to the distance

[jonasstirl]

Incredible Journey and what a mindset. What you do, what you achieve is an inspiration and will motivate many more, I know because you motivate me to try even harder and improve myself. Great Job man.

That was a rapid progress curve! Well done

Respect Tom, mooi om te zien dat je van zwaar gewicht naar een monster atleet ben gegaan !!

Respect for the "transformation"! Greets from Berlin🙋‍♂️ (by the way...i like the humor in your podcasts with Joe👍)

I’ve enjoyed listening and laughing along to your chats with Joe Skipper (particularly the one about sauna battles 😂) and I just found your YouTube channel. I didn’t know your background story! Great to hear it. Look forward to following your progress!
