--:--
On this edition of The Kona Edge we meet Roger Hastie and chat about the challenges of making a come back in Ironman. Roger was out of the sport for almost 2 decades and because the Ironman challenge is in your blood it didn't take much convincing to get back into training and being competitive. He chats about the importance of a support structure which helps him focus and achieve his goals. We find out if it is any easier training for an Ironman being 20 years older and he shares his lessons through life and how to approach his Ironman training differently.
