In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we welcome 21-year-old Age Group Athlete, Max Jakobsson, as he prepares for his very first triathlon—a full-distance Ironman in Cervia, Italy at Ironman Italy Emilia-Romagna. Balancing life as a full-time dock worker in Sweden, Max has taken on the challenge of training for one of the toughest endurance events in the world. He shares how he enlisted a coach to refine his swim technique, found a used Trek Speed Concept bike, and has been training with the same nutrition he’ll rely on race day. Mike offers advice on pacing, including a potential run-walk strategy, and discusses the importance of having a mental plan when things get tough. With 10 friends cheering him on in Italy, Max is ready to prove that doubt can fuel determination.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
