Welcome back to @RecoveryLabTV
In this video we head to Bolton to ride and film the full @ironmantriathlon 70.3 Bolton bike course ahead of race day.
I completed IRONMAN UK on these roads previously and wanted to create a detailed course preview to help athletes feel more prepared heading into one of the UK’s toughest triathlon courses.
Alongside one of my clients and a member of the Recovery Lab TV community, we break down:
🚴♂️ Key climbs
🚴♂️ Technical sections
🚴♂️ Pacing strategy
🚴♂️ Fuelling advice
🚴♂️ What to expect on race day
This isn’t about scaring athletes – it’s about helping you respect the course, ride smarter and enjoy the experience.

If you’re racing IRONMAN 70.3 Bolton this year, drop a comment below 👇
What part of the course are you most nervous about:
🚴♂ The climbs?
🌧 The weather?
⚡ Pacing & fueling?
🔥 Or simply making it to the finish line?
Bolton is a tough course, but if you prepare properly and respect it, it can also be one of the most rewarding
Loved the video mate been watching for some time, drove past you and honked my horn as I thought I recognised you from somewhere 😂 this will be my first 70.3 and I’m doing wales later on in the year. Can’t wait for this now being in my hometown especially!
Are you doing Bolton again this year Chris?
Thanks for this video, i've seen a number of your bolton explainers and it's making me feel a bit more at ease about what's to come in a few weeks. I did a 100km ride in my local area (warwick/stratford) and a slightly higher climb profile the weekend just gone. hard work and legs were very tired. Hoping to use lessons from that to inform this ride!
Great video , I'll be there. Mostly nervous about messing up the route but I'm sure there will be plenty in front of me to follow.
Great video mate! But of feedback, would be better to have a POV of road than yourself 🙂
Thank you for this! Am from S Wales so really helped give a sense of the course as can’t have a go before hand for my first 70.3 – hoping the Welsh hills training will translate well 😂
Thanks for a great video @RecoveryLabTV. Im racing Bolton this year. Will I manage the bike route ok without a bike comp?
Totally looking forward to this.. On a complete closed road course, I'm guessing you dont have to stick to the left of the road, making corners much quicker?
Thanks.
Would you recommend a disc on the back wheel
Great video, I enjoyed watching it. You are a top cyclist and well above my levels.
I am wishing you good luck with your cycling and channel😊
