In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Dr. Tommy Martin joins Mike and Ashley to share his remarkable journey through triathlon and endurance sports. Certified as both a pediatrician and an adult physician, Tommy humorously advises Ashley—despite her “child-sized” frame—that she still needs an adult doctor.
From coaching his wife to a Boston Marathon qualification to running full marathons with 20lb and 40lb weighted vests Tommy thrives on unique challenges. He doesn’t consider himself elite, yet he completed his first triathlon at Ironman Texas, gone sub-10 at Ironman Arizona the day after a powerlifting competition, and he’s qualified for both the Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championships.
Now chasing a sub-2:40 marathon, Tommy shares his training insights, race stories, and even his unsponsored opinion on popular drones. Whether you’re chasing your first finish line or your fastest time, this conversation is packed with inspiration and laughs.
