Ger Redmond is the North Dublin athlete who went from Mountjoy Prison to a sub-9:30 Ironman pro license without a coach — and never having swum a length of a pool before signing up for his first Ironman. His story disrupts every 'you must do X to do Y' frame in endurance training: no periodisation programme, no athletic background in the discipline, no support team. For Roadman's audience navigating mid-life pivots into endurance sport, he is one of the most useful counter-examples to the structured-coaching orthodoxy.
