We’re back with another pro interview, and this week we’re joined by the always honest and endlessly consistent Jackie Hering – professional triathlete, Ironman and 70.3 champion, mom of two, and one of the top contenders in the Ironman Pro Series.
Jackie dives deep into her journey from first-time age grouper in 2005 to standing on pro podiums across the world. She opens up about training through the chaos of parenting, fueling strategy (spoiler: she eats real food and a lot of it), her love/hate relationship with the T100 format, and why she’s not mad about Kona being back to one day.
📌 In this episode
✔️ How Jackie got into triathlon (and her first Ironman in swimwear!)
✔️ Her rapid rise from age grouper to pro
✔️ What changed once she became a mom—and why it made her tougher
✔️ How her 2024 season is shaping up with Oceanside and St. George
✔️ Fueling secrets (including her go-to gas station snack!)
✔️ Her honest take on T100 vs Ironman
✔️ Why she's all in on the Ironman Pro Series
✔️ Thoughts on Kona returning to one-day format
✔️ Training vs. racing fueling breakdown
✔️ Her guilty pleasure? (Hint: it’s hazy and hoppy)
