Gwen’s triathlon resume is unlike very few female triathletes, it is incredible. Gwen won the world triathlon series championship in 2014 and 2015, has been named the USA Triathlons 2013 and 2014 female athlete of the year, has been a dual Olympic US representative in the sport of triathlon in 2012 and obviously gaining 2016 where Gwen took the Olympic gold medal ahead of Nicola Spirig. 

In 2016, Gwen’s 13 streak consecutive winning spree from the world triathlon series came to an end on the Gold Coast but no female triathlete has ever done that in the history of sport.

We touch on Gwen’s 'AllIn' YouTube video series. Gwen shares some great tactics, strategies and practicalities around training, strength training, heart rate training, rest recovery and also the habit of journaling.
