Jackie Hering, a pro triathlete with 15 years of top finishes, unveils her approach to racing at 40. She shares how releasing pressure, managing expectations and embracing unexpected race-day curveballs transform her results in IRONMAN racing
In this episode, you'll discover:
What Jackie considers are her strongest assets and how she's training smarter, not just harder.
Her secrets to managing expectations and why 'releasing' them can be your fastest path to success.
How setbacks like mechanical issues or illness can be an opportunity, not a disaster, in race strategy.
The value of adaptability: how a puncture in Hamburg or a change in race schedule can become a game-changer.
Insights into the psychology of professional women athletes and the supportive roles they embrace - Jackie's own "mother hen" approach.
You'll also hear how Jackie's balance of motherhood, racing, and podcasting provides a fresh perspective in a sport often defined by its relentless intensity. She shares her plans for upcoming races, her views on Kona's elusive magic and the importance of enjoying the process rather than obsessing over the results.

Ingmar Jungnickel, an expert aerodynamicist, earned this distinction for his work with US Speedskating, where he developed a revolutionary team pursuit technique known as the 'American Push'. This strategy used advanced simulation and computer modeling to help the team break world records.
His career includes:
- Specialized Bicycles: He led the aerodynamics department, overseeing the development of high-performance bikes like the S-Works Tarmac and Venge.
- US Speedskating: He serves as the Chair of the Sports Science Commission and is the 2018 US Olympic Committee Sports Science Coach of the Year.
- Innovation: He is the founder of AiRO, an AI-powered platform that uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to provide aerodynamic bike fitting without a wind tunnel.
Aerodynamics plays a significant role in cycling performance, often more so than the weight of the bike. Ingmar emphasizes that many athletes mistakenly believe that a lighter bike is the key to speed. However, the real challenge lies in minimizing aerodynamic drag.
By focusing on reducing drag, cyclists can improve their efficiency and speed without the need to invest heavily in new equipment. This insight is crucial for all cyclists, particularly those who may not have access to high-end gear or professional training.
One of the most exciting developments at AiRO is the introduction of the Digital Airo Twin technology. Ingmar explains that this innovative approach allows for the creation of a 3D model of an athlete based on just a few photos. This model can then be adjusted for various parameters like limb length and body fat percentage, enabling customized aerodynamic assessments.
This technology democratizes access to aerodynamic testing, making it feasible for everyday athletes to optimize their performance without the high costs associated with traditional wind tunnel testing.

We chat to Dr Warren Bradley, Founder & CSO of Hytro - designers of the first Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) wearable, designed to improve sports performance.
Blood Flow Restriction works by tightening a strap around the top of your arms or legs to lock blood in the muscles while you perform light exercise or recovery routines. This helps your muscles get stronger and recover faster than they would without it.
When you're strapped in, the muscles that are being restricted fill up with oxygen-poor blood. This makes easy exercises and recovery routines feel tougher. It makes your muscles work harder and so helps your body adapt faster and better, making you stronger, improving your endurance, and helping you recover quicker.
Hytro has revolutionised BFR technology to seamlessly fit into performance protocols. Hytro's patented technology not only complements existing methods for enhancing sports performance but is the gold standard in isolated BFR wearable technology. We find out more…

This week on FITTER Radio we welcome Kelly O'Mara Head of Content and Sports Reporter for Feisty Media.
The new IRONMAN Kona qualification algorithm is significantly affecting female athletes. While early projections suggested a 30-40% representation of women at the World Championships, initial data from races shows this is not the case. In the 'performance pool' an overwhelming majority have gone to men (around 95%), with only about 5% going to women in the initial races analyzed. In some events, like IRONMAN California, only one performance slot was awarded to a woman.
In this conversation, Kelly shares her history in triathlon and sports journalism, highlighting the evolution of women's sports and the challenges faced in media representation. She shares insights from the recent Kona race, the impact of the new qualification system on female participation and the implications of IRONMAN's business model.

Regan Hollioake, Professional Triathlete from Australia, talks to us about her journey from competitive open water swimming to triathlon.
Regan discovered cycling as a strength after a standout performance at Busselton where she set the fastest ever age group female time. Living in a small town three hours north of Melbourne, she often trained alone but has more recently benefited from joining a training squad in Ballarat. We discuss her progression in running, from a 3:15 marathon to a 3:03 at IRONMAN Australia, despite not having a formal running background, and how she maintains a mindful approach to training volume to avoid injuries.
Regan’s debut as a professional athlete was at IRONMAN New Zealand, where she raced against notable competitors like Chelsea Sodaro and Els Visser. Despite initial doubts, she excelled and secured a fourth-place finish, validating her decision to go pro.
We discuss her challenging lead-up to IRONMAN Australia, where she competed and won the race despite suffering a broken rib from an accident in the pool and an ulcerated cornea.
Most recently Regan raced and won the full distance at Challenge Gunsan in Korea. Her next stop? Lake Placid and then the IRONMAN World Champs in Nice. She’ll definitely be one to watch out for.

In this episode we welcome Jay Dicharry, the acclaimed author of "Running Rewired" and a seasoned physical therapist with a remarkable track record of working with over 50 Olympians. Jay shares his expertise on the critical role of movement skills and tissue capacity in enhancing athletic performance and explains how athletes can develop the necessary skills and body preparation to achieve their goals and prevent injuries.
We discuss the pivotal importance of postural control and endurance for athletes involved in prolonged activities like cycling, running and swimming. Jay illustrates how maintaining consistent body positioning can maximize efficiency and minimize fatigue. We explore the limitations of traditional exercises and advocate for dynamic movements that bolster both strength and skill. Furthermore, Jay sheds light on the mechanics of running, emphasizing the importance of rotational control at the foot, ankle, hip and upper body to enhance performance and reduce injury risk. Practical tips and exercises, such as using rocker boards and resistance bands, are shared to help athletes improve their form and stability.
We focus on optimizing movement skills for efficiency, addressing common myths about muscle functionality and highlighting the importance of proper mechanics like triple extension. Jay underscores the need to address underlying movement issues rather than merely increasing training volume or intensity. Additionally, we explore the complexities of tissue adaptation and the critical role of plyometrics in building bone and ten

Tim chats to Dr Kate Baldwin of Valere Endurance about the psychological and physical processes of healing from an injury. We explore the complexities of injury recovery emphasizing the difficulty in managing expectations during the healing process. We discuss the misconception that pain and function improve simultaneously and linearly, and how this can lead to disappointment when progress doesn't match expectations. We highlight that while initial recovery may bring rapid improvement, progress often slows down, and setbacks can occur, which is a normal part of the healing journey.
We stress the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when dealing with fractures and other common injuries in endurance athletes, involving sports doctors, physiotherapists, coaches and nutritionists. Additionally, we consider the potential pitfalls of rushing back into activity and the consequences of reintroducing running too soon.

Jack Moody, Professional Triathlete, is hosting the podcast with Bevan this week.
We catch up on the racing from the weekend plus we talk about the “sellout” for the pros at the upcoming IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside race – will this be a nightmare to officiate?
We share Sam Long’s review of his race at the T100 in Miami and ask do pro athletes have their feet in both camps, despite having contracts with the PTO?
We catch up with Graham Brewster, winner of the free race entry to IRONMAN Cairns.
Bevan chats to Justin Ralph of Velo Performance – an organisation set up to help people across the spectrum optimise their on-bike position specifically related to their own cycling goals.
Justin Ralph has spent a significant amount of time working with cyclists. In 2017 he transferred to High Performance Sport New Zealand and worked with Cycling New Zealand as a performance physiotherapist and bike fitter. Justin has been to the London and Rio Paralympics, the Tokyo Olympics as well as the 2018 Commonwealth Games and multiple World Championships and World Cups.
Justin’s journey from physiotherapy to the niche world of bike fitting and aero testing reveals a unique perspective on cycling performance. He shares his experience in working with a diverse range of cyclists—from everyday enthusiasts to para-athletes and national track teams—and how he tailors bike fittings to enhance both comfort and speed.
We discuss the intricate process of adapting bikes for athletes with disabilities and the evolution of aero testing from wind tunnels to real-time track assessments. Justin provides invaluable insights for cyclists aiming to push their limits.

Jaimie Fuller is the founder of eo and the driving force behind the development of its brand. As the former Executive Chairman of SKINS, we hear about his journey from founding the compression garment business to innovating in the sports tech industry, and his philosophy of creating products that offer real, tangible benefits to elite athletes.
Jaimie explains how the eo SwimBETTER technology allows swimmers to analyse and enhance their stroke technique, force production and efficiency. We discuss the concept of setting a baseline for swimmers to measure progress against and examine the importance of utilizing technology to provide immediate data on stroke changes.
We also discuss how the technology maps the hand path through the phases of glide, pull and recovery, offering different visual perspectives to refine strokes. The concept of consistency is introduced, revealing how it can identify asymmetries in a swimmer's technique, and in some cases the need to address underlying issues with a physiotherapist.
We discuss the challenges swimmers face in perceiving changes in their movements and how technology can bridge the gap between perception and reality.
We hear that only roughly 35 to 40 percent of eo SwimBETTER capabilities have been revealed to date, implying a vast reservoir of features and applications that remain to be shared with the public. Additionally, the conversation highlights the impressive aspect of video-syncing technology, which allows detailed analysis of movements frame by frame, linking video footage directly with corresponding data points.

We discuss the importance of shoulder strength and mobility for swimming and touch on the nuances of swimming technique, the differences between open water and pool swimming, and how strength training and mobility work hand in hand. Emphasizing simplicity, we highlight how gym workouts and other activities can enhance these physical attributes, ultimately benefiting athletes in their swimming and cycling endeavors.
We explore the importance of simplifying swimming coaching techniques to focus on key aspects of an athlete's performance. We examine how individual swimmer's capabilities determine their stroke style and how this links to their gym routines, emphasizing the need for tailored mobility and strength exercises. We discuss the common mistake of overcomplicating training with trendy, complex exercises seen on social media, and the value of basic, yet essential, exercises like the shoulder external rotation. Additionally, we touch on the significance of shoulder girdle strength and stability, particularly on the posterior side, for achieving a long and effective stroke reach. We also discuss the anatomy of the shoulder joint, highlighting its unique structure and the role of rotator cuff muscles in maintaining stability without sacrificing mobility.
We focus on the importance of strengthening and stabilizing the scapula and rotator cuff for overall shoulder health, particularly for athletes. We discuss the benefits of exercises like bent-over rows and scapula push-ups for building muscles such as the rhomboids and the serratus anterior, which are crucial for stabilizing the scapula. We emphasize the necessity of balancing rotator cuff work with exercises that target the muscles around the scapula, advocating for a 50/50 approach in workout programs. Additionally, we touch on the role of mobility in sports like swimming and cycling, highlighting how mobility affects performance aspects like reach, rotation, and breathing coordination. To improve mobility, Kate recommends dynamic movements over static stretches, as these can enhance muscle fascicle length whilst also building strength, tailored to the individual needs of the athlete.
Lastly, we focus on the concept of reciprocal inhibition and its role in enhancing mobility and strength, particularly in swimmers and triathletes. We explore strengthening exercises that can improve the coordination between agonist and antagonist muscles, allowing for a full range of motion and mitigating tightness. Kate shares specific workouts like the lat hang, scapula hang, and movements that target the rhomboids and lats, providing not only strength but also mobility benefits. We discuss the importance of core engagement and proper form to maximize the effectiveness of these exercises. The conversation also touches on the common issue of shoulder tightness due to prolonged positions in sports, such as the TT position in cycling, and how certain exercises, like the overhead dowel movement, can counteract this by opening up the chest and simultaneously strengthening the shoulders and core. Kate offers practical tips on maintaining correct posture and avoiding excessive strain during these exercises.

The Gold Mine Effect: Crack the Secrets of High Performance by Rasmus Ankersen at https://www.amazon.com.au/Gold-Mine-Effect-Secrets-Performance/dp/1848313993
We welcome back Dr. Phil Skiba to the show to discuss his latest book, "Scientific Training for Endurance Athletes," and in particular his work with Critical power/W Prime. W Prime (also known as Anaerobic Work Capacity), is the amount of work you are able to do above your Critical Power (CP) and is measured in joules (J) or kilojoules (KJ).
A world-renowned expert in elite athletic performance, Dr. Philip Skiba is the Medical Director of Sports and Musculoskeletal Medicine for Advocate Aurora Health, where he leads both the Human Performance and Biomechanics Laboratories. He is also the head primary care sports physician for the NCAA Division 1 University of Illinois – Chicago (UIC). He has extensive experience in covering mass-participation events, including the NYC and Chicago marathons, ITU Triathlons and the Soldier Field 10-Miler.
Dr. Skiba has personally trained a number of Olympian, national champion and world champion athletes, including world-record holders. His work on the mathematics of high-intensity exercise (The W′Balance Model) has fundamentally changed how scientists and coaches prescribe and analyze interval training and race strategy.
Recruited to the Nike Breaking 2 project, Dr. Skiba worked with 3 of the fastest runners on the planet in pursuit of the sub-2-hour marathon. He appeared in and narrated the Cannes award-winning National Geographic documentary Breaking 2. Dr. Skiba serves on the medical board of USA Cycling, and is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. He has academic appointments at both UIC and the University of Exeter (UK).
In this episode we explore the significance of understanding the threshold between stable and unstable physiology, especially in relation to endurance sports like running and cycling. Critical speed or power serves as a marker for this threshold and exceeding it taps into a finite energy reserve conceptualized as W prime. Managing this energy is crucial for race strategy, determining when to make an effort and how long it can be sustained for.
We discuss the critical power W prime model and its importance in training over traditional FTP workouts. We consider training strategies for both novice and seasoned athletes, highlighting the benefits of base training and fatigue resistance before moving on to threshold and interval work. For experienced athletes, we discuss a reverse periodization approach to training.
We explore the nuances of training for long-distance triathlon, focusing on how manipulating W prime and critical power can optimize performance. We share insights on the importance of tailoring interval sessions to an athlete's individual capacity, particularly for those with a smaller W prime who may struggle with standard VO2 intervals.
Lastly, we explore the benefits of using GPS and power meters for monitoring athlete performance, noting the advantage of having concrete data during training and competition, and we address the increasing challenges in professional sports, including the issue of doping and its impact on clean athletes.

Rachael Cunningham won the free race entry to IRONMAN New Zealand. We find out more about her.
We explore the crucial role of mental fitness in endurance sport and its significance for both performance and recovery. We discuss how athletes handle pre-race anxiety and stress differently and the mental resilience required in elite adventure racing where cognitive stamina and decision-making under duress are as crucial as physical ability.
We share insights from an episode of That Triathlon podcast with certified psychologist Stuart Holliday, who specializes in working with endurance athletes. Stuart discusses the o of self-talk and the need for athletes to conduct a robust self-assessment, examining their psychological approach before, during and after races.
We introduce Matt Fitzgerald's book "How Bad Do You Want It?" as a resource for understanding and improving mental toughness in the face of adversity. We examine key concepts such as the central governor theory by Tim Noakes, discussing the role of the brain and mind in athletic performance. We also explore the notion that athletes don’t encounter their true physical limits due to a maximum tolerance for perception of effort. While some individuals possess an innate ability to push past their perceived limits, for most, this is a skill that can be developed. We touch on cases where athletes perform significantly better on race day compared to their training sessions, suggesting a psychological component that unlocks higher intensity and effort levels.
Lastly, we consider the role of psychology in recovery, discussing practices like yoga nidra and meditation, which can aid in activating the parasympathetic nervous system for improved rest and digestion.

Dr Nicky Keay is an Honorary Clinical Lecturer in Medicine at University College London and previously Research Fellow in the Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Durham University. She conducts clinical research in sports/dance endocrinology, resulting in a range of research publications and awards. Dr Keay is a member of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine and the British Menopause Society. She is also the author of ‘Hormones, Health and Human Potential: A guide to understanding your hormones to optimise your health and performance”. In this podcast we discuss the importance of hormones in achieving our full potential in terms of both health and exercise performance.
We explore the connection between hormones, training, nutrition and recovery in relation to athletic performance. We learn how hormones play a crucial role in driving positive adaptations and how our behaviors and lifestyle can affect their effectiveness. We emphasize the importance of finding the optimal balance for each individual athlete and provide tips on how to harness hormones to support training and achieve peak performance. We also explore the concept of allostasis and how it relates to the body's ability to adapt to exercise.
We address the misconception that more training is always better and highlight how stress and psychological factors can affect our hormones. Balancing all aspects of our lifestyle, including nutrition and mental well-being, is crucial for optimizing our hormone levels.
We discuss the pressure athletes face to perform perfectly and how it can affect their hormones. We touch on the effects of stress and anxiety on hormones and offer practical solutions for managing them. We also mention common signs of hormonal imbalances, such as unexplained weight gain and the potential negative effects on the body.
Lastly, we discuss the changes in hormones as we age, particularly the significant decrease in female hormones after menopause. We emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper training, nutrition and recovery, as well as incorporating strength training to combat potential muscle loss. Additionally, we highlight the importance of vitamin D supplementation.

Coach Tim Brazier and Dr Kate Baldwin of Endurance Movement discuss the common injuries faced by triathletes, including achilles and calf injuries, hip issues and bone stress injuries. They emphasize the importance of understanding the multifactorial nature of injuries and how to prevent or manage them. The role of bone health, particularly before the age of 25, is also highlighted, along with how previous sports or training can affect an athlete's risk of injury.
We discuss how to catch and treat bone stress injuries before they worsen. Practical tips are provided for identifying and addressing these injuries plus we highlight the importance of getting an MRI or CT scan for accurate diagnosis.
We highlight the importance of nutrition and proper training in avoiding injury, as well as the role of biomechanics and muscle strength. We recommend a well-rounded rehab program, including cross-training and a gradual return to running, to prevent future injuries. We also touch on the concept of loading days and the importance of rest days in between.
We discuss the importance of giving the body time to adapt and recover after intense training, and how taking short breaks throughout the year can benefit both physical and mental health. We also emphasize the role of nutrition and sleep in recovery, and how these simple practices can have a significant impact on performance.
Listeners are invited to send in their questions for the next episode, where we will address them and discuss another injury topic.

Tim Podlogar BSc, MSc, PhD is an applied researcher primarily working at the University of Birmingham where he conducts research in the field of sports nutrition and carbohydrate metabolism. He is also one of the nutritionists for Bora-Hansgrohe World Tour cycling team, Head of Development at Nduranz sports nutrition brand, Head of Science at the Human Performance Centre in Slovenia and a visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Primorska, Slovenia.
In this podcast we discuss his journey from a low carb back to a high carbohydrate diet, his experience in nutrition for a World Tour Cycling Team, and his research into carbohydrate metabolism.
Dr Podlogar shares his research into the importance of carbohydrates in both recovery and performance plus we touch on classical carbo loading for athletes and the need for multiple day glycogen loading protocols.
We explore the implications of energy deficit and the need for carbohydrates to sustain the workloads of athletes. We discuss the differences between 'healthy' and 'less healthy' solutions for carbohydrate intake, and the pros and cons of different sources of carbohydrates. Plus, we discuss the potential dangers of relative energy deficiency and compromised bone density when it comes to train low strategies.
We review the role of technology and nutrition in the world of cycling and discuss the potential benefits of continuous glucose monitoring. We also consider the psychological aspects of nutrition, as well as the importance of periodizing carbohydrate intake in order to optimize performance.
Finally, we consider the importance of research into carbohydrate metabolism in extreme environments, such as heat and hypoxia, and the importance of testing nutrition strategies for IRONMAN or other hot races in the heat.

Jason West has become known as one of the fastest runners in the sport of triathlon. His goal is to win an IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships and he is currently having a lot of success, winning several races and landing on the podium in many others. In our chat with Jason we talk about his triathlon journey and his strategies for racing success.
We look at Jason’s performances at the PTO Open and the Collins Cup plus his approach to training and how he's improving his skills on both the bike and the run. He shares how he works towards consistent improvement and how he’s evolving, including the lessons he feels he learned from his mistakes last year and how they've informed his approach to training and racing this year.
We talk about the significance of maintaining a balance between training, racing and enjoyment and how Jason has managed to stay at the top of his game whilst still enjoying the process.
We look back at the PTO race in Milwaukee and his incredible run from the back of the race to finish second behind Jan Frodeno and ahead of Kristian Blummenfelt after a battle to the finish line.
Lastly, we discuss the challenges of balancing the PTO and World Triathlon schedules, the importance of enjoying the process and journey of triathlon and the points and rankings systems within triathlon.

Martin Gibala Ph.D. is Professor and Chair of the Kinesiology Department at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. His research on the physiological and health benefits of high-intensity interval training has attracted worldwide scientific attention. In this episode we discuss his work in sprint interval training versus traditional interval training, it’s effectiveness plus how each influences an endurance athlete's VO2 max and overall performance.
Bob Seebahor is a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, the former Director of Sports Nutrition for the University of Florida and served as a Sport Dietitian for the US Olympic Committee. He has created a free YouTube presentation called the GI Distress Masterclass in which he talks about the root causes of GI distress in endurance sports and discusses ways to improve digestive health. We touch on the significance of hydration, the impact of environmental conditions and the role of psychological stress, plus we examine the importance of implementing different nutrient timing systems and strategies for training and competition. Finally, we help you navigate the complexities of GI distress in endurance sports using insights from Bob Seebohar's masterclass on the subject.
The new IRONMAN Pro Series, is a performance-based world series contested over 12 months at 18 designated IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events on the full 2024 IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 professional racing calendar. A points-based system, it runs in parallel to the regular IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 professional racing calendar.
All professional athletes are eligible to participate in the Series. A USD $1.7 million bonus pool is allocated at the end of the Series, and can be earned on top of any prize money won during the season.

Dr. Kevin Miller is a Professor in the Dept of Health & Human Performance at Texas State University
In this episode we chat to Dr Miller about the complex topic of exercise-induced muscle cramping. We separate fact from fiction and challenge some long-standing myths around muscle cramping.
Dr Miller shares his knowledge of the physiology, prevention, and treatment of cramping, and explains how this led to his in-depth research into the topic. His findings in relation to sweat and electrolyte loss, the role of the central nervous system and dehydration provide some new insights into cramping and how it’s not a one-size-fits-all scenario.
Finally, we explore how stress, nutrition and sleep can all contribute to cramping and discuss the importance of keeping a cramping diary to identify individual patterns and key mitigating factors.

Dr Emma Mosley is a senior lecturer in sport psychology in the Department of Sport Science and Performance. She is an active researcher within psychophysiology and sport performance, with a particular specialism in heart rate variability.
In this episode we discuss the mind-body connection and how it can be harnessed to optimize athletic performance. How perception, threat and appraisal play a role in the stress process and how this impacts our physiological reactions in sports.
We learn more about the power of heart rate variability (HRV) as a tool for measuring stress responses and improving athletic performance. Plus the significance of monitoring HRV trends over time, comparing your own baseline, and the connection between HRV and psychology, the vagus nerve, and the parasympathetic nervous system. We also look into interventions like cold water immersion and their effectiveness in improving HRV.
Finally we explore the benefits of slow paced breathing. Dr. Mosley teaches us how to adjust inhalation and exhalation ratios for optimal results, and shares how this practice can benefit overall wellbeing, improve sleep quality, and sports performance.

In this fascinating discussion with David Dunne, CEO of Hexis, we explore the importance of nutrition in sport and the lack of tools available to help practitioners effectively influence behaviour change. David shares his personal experience with a professional athlete who, despite knowing what nutritional changes he needed to make, just wasn’t motivated them to make them, and how this sparked his journey of exploring behaviour change and technology through his PhD. We also reflect on the work of nutrition scientist Louise Burke and how her foundational work has been so influential in the field of sports nutrition.
We examine ways for coaches to develop interventions to assist athletes in understanding how to change their behaviour around nutrition. Discover how the behaviour change wheel, the combi model, and the theoretical domains framework can help practitioners design, develop, and deliver effective interventions. We discuss the importance of focusing on behaviours rather than outcomes when defining a target behaviour and the role of capability, opportunity, and motivation in behaviour change. We also explore various intervention options such as persuasive and cognitive interventions, and peer modeling to help athletes build confidence in their capabilities.
Finally, we discuss strategies to help athletes maintain high performance, manage body composition, and fuel their bodies correctly. Learn about the value of periodizing nutrition and the advantages of a more balanced lifestyle approach.

Mikki and Bev discuss the importance of pre-sleep protein intake for athletes. They explain how consuming protein before bed can help athletes meet their daily protein and caloric goals, which can be challenging due to busy schedules and time-consuming training. Pre-sleep protein, particularly casein, is beneficial as it is a slow-digesting protein that releases amino acids into the bloodstream over an extended period, providing a steady supply to the muscles throughout the night. This can aid in muscle protein synthesis and recovery. A recent study also showed that pre-sleep protein consumption increases both mitochondrial and myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery from endurance exercise.
Tim joins us for our Coaches Catch Up and we review the weekend's races plus we give you a preview of our interviews out tomorrow with UltraMan World Champion Simon Cochrane and Dr Kate Baldwin of Endurance Movement.

In this episode of the Fitter Radio Triathlon podcast, we welcome back Swedish triathlete Patrik Nilsson.
We look back on Patrik’s impressive career including multiple sub-eight IRONMAN performances including his win at IRONMAN Texas in 2019.
Since then, Patrik’s performances have been significantly impacted by a lack of power on the bike, overwhelming muscle fatigue and an inability to finish a race. He sought various solutions before finally being diagnosed with iliac artery endofibrosis. Patrik underwent an angioplasty to widen his artery, a less invasive procedure than the more common venous patch method, and although recovery time is shorter, the risk of the issue recurring and the long-term effects remain unknown.
Patrik shares his cautious optimism as he returns to training and racing, with plans to participate in the ITU Long Distance World Championships and potentially an IRONMAN later in the season.

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Sam Impey and we explore further the Hexis App, a platform designed to automate and democratize elite sports nutrition for athletes at all levels.
We dive into the nuances of low, medium, and high carbohydrate intake, highlighting the importance of individualizing recommendations and periodizing carbohydrate intake depending on activity patterns.
We discuss the risks of low energy availability in endurance athletes and how tracking calorie balance fluctuations throughout the day can provide valuable insights with the HEXIS app's Live Energy feature offering a visual representation of energy status during the day.
Finally, we discuss the wealth of free resources available from the Performance Lab on the HEXIS website. Learn more about low carb meal suggestions and other nutrition tips plus articles and downloads related to nutrition and sports performance.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Dutch Professional Triathlete Els Visser to the show to discuss her incredible journey from IRONMAN Western Australia to her recent victory at IRONMAN New Zealand. We talked about the challenges she faced during her races and the strategies she used to overcome them. Els also shared her emotional reunion with a fellow shipwreck survivor whilst here in New Zealand and her determination to live life to the fullest through her athletic career. We discussed her future goals in professional triathlon including improving her swimming skills, staying injury-free and her upcoming race calendar.
In this episode we explore metabolic flexibility with expert Cliff Harvey and find out more about the Hexis Nutrition app with Sam Impey. We also dive into triathlon news, low cadence big gear training with coach Tim Brazier and we hear from IRONMAN New Zealand winner Els Visser in advance of her full form interview tomorrow. Join us for discussions around all things triathlon and nutrition, as well as insights on how AI is revolutionizing endurance training and sports nutrition.

In this episode, we discuss the concept of "fuelling for the work required," the importance of carbohydrate availability in sports training and how to optimize the training stimulus by managing glycogen content with our guest, Dr. Sam Impey.
We explore the flexibility of the human body in fuel storage and utilization, especially in endurance training and glycogen depletion. We discuss different methods of achieving a train low environment, such as exercising in the morning after an overnight fast, training twice in one day and the "sleep low" model. These approaches can lead to meaningful changes in physiology and potentially help athletes improve their performance by adapting to various energy states. We also delve into the complexities of the "sleep low" strategy and its impact on energy stress during exercise, as well as the potential benefits and drawbacks of incorporating low-carbohydrate sessions into an athlete's training regimen.
Additionally, we explore the challenges faced by high-volume athletes in maintaining energy availability and achieving optimal health outcomes. Plus we explore the concept of a 3-500 calorie deficit per day for endurance athletes looking to improve their body composition without compromising their performance.

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Kate Baldwin from Endurance Movement about the evolution of strength and conditioning in endurance sports. We delved into the benefits of strength training and how to effectively incorporate it into a training programme.
Focusing on exercises like back squats and hamstring-centric movements, we discussed how these targeted exercises can improve running performance and overall strength. The importance of core activation is also highlighted, but not through isolated exercises. Instead, we emphasize incorporating core work into compound exercises to save time and increase efficiency. We also explored the concept of 'reps in reserve' as a way to adjust for fatigue and ensure optimal results from strength training sessions.
Additionally, we discussed common barriers to strength training, such as uncertainty regarding technique and load progression and the importance of prioritizing strength training for injury prevention, performance improvement and increased robustness.

In this episode, we delve into periodized nutrition and the pros and cons of low carb, high fat (LCHF) diets for endurance athletes. We also hear from Dr. Sam Impey who published formative work on periodized nutrition, and discuss the Hexis Nutrition app which helps athletes plan their carbohydrate intake based on their training schedule. We explore the concept of a 3-500 calorie deficit per day for endurance athletes looking to improve their body composition without compromising their performance.
Additionally, we discuss running technique changes, the importance of individual assessment and the potential pitfalls of trying to adopt a "template" running technique with Dr Kelly Sheerin of the AUT Running Mechanics clinic in Auckland.
Lastly, we chat to Dr Kate Baldwin of Endurance Movement. We examine the challenges of incorporating strength training into endurance routines and the importance of keeping exercises simple and focusing on proper execution. We also touch on incorporating plyometrics and strength and conditioning training into endurance programs, highlighting the value of S and C in improving performance and injury prevention.

REEF TO REEF FREE RACE ENTRY COMPETITION: (00:03:49) For all our coffee club members. Reef to Reef is an MTB stage race taking place over four days from 18-21 August 2022 in the heart of Tropical North Queensland.
Starting on the reef fringed Coral Sea coast it quickly heads inland across a network of trails through tablelands, hinterland, farm lands, MTB parks and tropical rainforest before finishing back at the coast four days and 190 km’s later. Each day’s stage has its own unique terrain and character to keep things interesting with a mix of fast flowing single trail, farm track, groomed downhill trails and fire trails – many through private land that can only be ridden while racing the Reef to Reef.
There’s nothing too technical but enough to get your attention, including 2525m of vertical climbing. Achievable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and MTB skills.
Reef to Reef is a sister event to Port to Port in N.S.W. and Cape to Cape in W.A., making up the Triple Crown of Australian multi-stage MTB racing.

WORKOUT OF THE WEEK: (00:16:47) When to schedule your workouts and why. HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEW – TINE HOLST: (00:33:22) Danish pro triathlete Tine Holst bases herself in Frankfurt with her partner but trains as often as she can in Majorca. She did her first Ironman in 2008 as an age grouper and realising she might just have a talent for the sport decided to keep going with it. In 2009 however, Tine was hit by a car whilst cycling. The car drove over her causing multiple injuries - she was lucky to be alive. It was this experience that developed her into the athlete and person she is today. Her mantra ‘never stop believing’ came as a result of the accident as did her decision to start taking the sport more seriously. In 2012 Tine turned Pro and since then she’s gone from strength to strength. In 2016 she won Ironman Lanzarote, one of the toughest Ironman events in the calendar. A broken collar bone from a bike crash 6 weeks before Kona last year meant that she was out of the race but she plans to go back and is already planning her next 12-18 months in readiness for Kona 2019.
ONE STEP AHEAD: (01:32:52) The neuro protective benefits of creatine, curcumin and DHA. SID TALKS: (01:47:20) We welcome back Laura Siddall for a Tri Goss chat and we talk Challenge Wanaka, Dubai 70.3, the Bahrain 13 Team, Super League Triathlon and Sid’s recent Arizona camp.

This year, he won the Challenge Iceland Half, Busan 70.3 and then podiumed with a 3rd place at the Ironman South American Champs in Brazil to become a first-time Kona qualifier. Kona didn’t go to plan and had him pulling out before the run but he’s already got the Kona bug and looking to give it another shot in 2017. His next race will be Ironman Cozumel and we’re really looking forward to see how he goes. 5 MIN FOCUS: Bev talks to Johnny van Leeuwen, a 35-year-old passionate MTB cyclist from Dunedin who, in a desperate bid to lose body weight for his sport, developed a condition called REDs - Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. The term REDS has evolved from a condition that centres on eating disorders or dysfunctional eating, hormonal imbalances and bone health. In 1986 the condition was coined ‘Female Athlete Triad’, which had the unfortunate consequence of suggesting it was something that doesn’t affect males. Johnny is testament to the fact that it does.

For decades the brightest minds in the athletic performance nutrition field have had carbs pegged as the ultimate good guy - forget everything you were taught by your old-school sports performance nutritionist and learn how to become the ultimate fat burning athletic machine".

HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEW – MICHELLE BREMER: Growing up in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, Michelle grew to love the outdoors and spent most of her days running around and swimming at the beach. In 2007 a friend inspired her to enter a local half ironman race, and after taking the rest of the year to "recover" from her half ironman effort, she took a trip to Kona to watch a friend race the Ironman World Champs. She was blown away by the sport of ironman. In August 2011 Michelle made the move to leave her job as a Physiotherapist and start training full time. She entered her first full Ironman race, Busselton Western Australia and won it in a time of 9:25. Her second win came only a few weeks ago on Sunday 3 May when she ran down her rivals to win the 30th anniversary race in Port Macquarie in a time of 9:38.

Have you, like Mikki, been injured or not done enough training and still want to do that marathon even though you've only got 8 weeks to go?
