This episode is with cycling and multisport coach Jesse Moore, who has worked with former Garmin-Sharp and Dauphine winner Andrew Talansky, among other high level athletes. Jesse has time in the trenches as a former professional triathlete, and time in the school room as a graduate of UC Davis with a degree in ex-phys. We speak about the different paths coaches can take to achieve a high level of understanding about their sport, some of our favorite podcasts, and the relationship data plays in coaching our athletes. We found a lot of common ground in our discussion, and Jesse had some very insightful perspectives to share on his coaching methodology and techniques.

Dit is de 4e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over: Een betere sportprestatie na hersenstimulatie?INLEIDING: Welke spieren je aanspant, hoe diep je kan gaan en hoe vermoeid je bent: je brein speelt een cruciale rol tijdens het sporten. Onderzoekers suggereren dat het mogelijk moet zijn om met behulp van brein-stimulatie je prestatie op te krikken. Werkt deze vorm van ‘opladen' echt? Ga je daadwerkelijk harder fietsen of rennen door een koptelefoon? En heb ik als recreatieve sporter er wat aan? SHOWNOTES: Het artikel van Jurgen waar het allemaal mee begon: "Een betere sportprestatie na hersenstimulatie", verschenen in RunnersWorld (november 2019): https://jurgenvanteeffelen.nl/hersenstimulatie-voor-een-betere-sportprestatie/ (https://jurgenvanteeffelen.nl/hersenstimulatie-voor-een-betere-sportprestatie/ ) Pseudowetenschappelijke prietpraat van de makers van de Halo Sport ‘brainsupercharging' koptelefoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GFp7laQt0g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GFp7laQt0g) Interview met Leidse onderzoeker uit 2018 die opvallend positief is over de techniek (en inmiddels weten we waarom) https://www.vice.com/nl/article/43pdx9/het-nederlandse-onderzoek-naar-doping-via-hersenstimulatie (https://www.vice.com/nl/article/43pdx9/het-nederlandse-onderzoek-naar-doping-via-hersenstimulatie) Interview met Andrew Talansky over zijn gebruik van de Halo Sport Neuroscience koptelefoon: https://www.businessinsider.nl/tour-de-france-cyclist-talansky-halo-neuroscience-headset-technology-2017-6/ (https://www.businessinsider.nl/tour-de-france-cyclist-talansky-halo-neuroscience-headset-technology-2017-6/) Reportage van Alex Hutchinson die meeging met een ‘ride-and-zap-your-brain-like-the-pros tour through the Alps'. https://www.outsideonline.com/2403893/neurofire-brain-stimulation-tdcs-bike-tour (https://www.outsideonline.com/2403893/neurofire-brain-stimulation-tdcs-bike-tour) Gronings fietsonderzoek met avatar als tegenstander, dat laat zien hoe je jou hersenen kan verleiden tot een betere prestatie: https://www.sportknowhowxl.nl/nieuws-en-achtergronden/nieuwsberichten/nieuwsbericht/112481/onderzoek-wijst-uit-tegenstander-maakt-duursporters-sneller (https://www.sportknowhowxl.nl/nieuws-en-achtergronden/nieuwsberichten/nieuwsbericht/112481/onderzoek-wijst-uit-tegenstander-maakt-duursporters-sneller) ---- De Slimmer Presteren Podcast is een initiatief van Gerrit Heijkoop en Jurgen van Teeffelen.

Some of you may recognize him from his heroic finish at The Tour de France where he wouldn’t give up, but to others he is know as the pitbull. But since the first time we meet in Napa valley he has been noting but an amazing parent, friend & athlete. Notice I put athlete last, not that he isn’t an amazing athlete but as I have learned to know him, I know he prioritizes the others first and the hard work and dedication make him the great athlete he is. Since his retirement from professional cycling he has jumped into the amazing world of Iron Man Triathlons. Follow @andrewtalansky
Our interview this week is with Coach Matt Fitzgerald is co-author of 80/20 Triathlon with David Warden. This book packages what professional endurance athletes and their coaches have been practicing for years. You've heard this concept in dozens of interviews on this podcast starting as far back as former Olympic Nordic Skier Jim Galanes, Dr. Inigo San Milan, and many more. Welcome to Episode #144 of the Mile High Endurance podcast. Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals. We're your hosts coaches Rich Soares and Khem Suthiwan and 303 Chief Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.

Andrew gave us the rare perspective of top pro cyclist who has a top 10 GC finish in the Tour de France and now competing as a professional triathlete at the 70.3 and 140.6 distance. Andrew has a ton of respect for the pros he competes against and he is slowly earning respect as he has been climbing up the result ladder. He will be competing at Ironman Louisville in a few short weeks and we are eager to see how he performs there and in 2019. We hope to see him at the Ironman World Championship in 2019. If you haven't heard the interview, go back and listen to episode #143. Speaking of previous guests. We want to put out a "heal fast" wish to Benji Marshall from Today's Plan. Benji had a fall on his bike earlier this week and broke his collar bone. His boss, Ben Bowley sent me an email. Ben really appreciate the follow up and hope Benji heals up quick.

Pro triathlete proven and endorsed, most durable elastic bungee lace system available and they come in the super cool MHE logo package for $19.98 https://www.riplaces.com/collections/mile-high-endurance Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called “moderate-intensity rut,” spending almost half of their time training too hard–harder than the pros. Training harder isn’t smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results. In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance–Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman–to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results. Welcome back. Our post interview discussion is sponsored by Halo Sport.

You need to be a little careful with swim speed zones. If you have drastically different speeds without pull buoy, with pull buoy and with paddles, you may throw off your training pace classifications when you use those devices. Set your Speed Zones TrainingPeaks - go into your Account Settings/Zones/Speed-Pace. Scroll to Swim Speed/Pace and skip the Auto Calculation. Go to Add Zone and keep adding your Zones 1, 2, X, 3, Y, 4, and 5 Today's Plan - go to your Account Settings/Thresholds/Zones. Garmin Connect is stumping me Targeting 80/20 with Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, Today's Plan Garmin Connect provides lap by lap pace, but no report that breaks down the percent by pace, power or heart rate zones TrainingPeaks has an activity chart titled "Time In Zone - Speeds" for swimming and it'll pick up your custom zones. My last swim workout was 48% in zones 1-2 (goal for warmup, 6 x 200) 7% in zone x 13% in zone 3 (pull buoy) 14% in zone y (pull buoy with paddles) 12% in zone 4 7% in zone 5 (12 x 25 yrds) Bringing Crazy Back to Triathlon - Khem's Post Are there that many races that are providing unique and creative experiences?

Andrew Talansky has history with SRAM dating back to his early days as an elite cyclist. A longtime fan of eTap, Zipp wheels, and Quarq power meters, Andrew reached out to us after he retired from road racing to partner with his plan to become a pro Ironman Triathlete. Talansky raced as a top pro GC rider for nine years collecting impressive wins at the Criterium du Dauphine, the US National Time Trial Championships, and scoring top 10’s at the Tour de France, the Vuelta España, and the Amgen Tour of California. We sat down with Andrew to talk about his switch to the Ironman format, learn how the adaptation to new training and racing is going, and to find out more about his long-term aspirations.

We remarked on this incredible story in recent weeks and figured the timing is perfect to share it with you this week. This Sunday is Ironman Wisconsin - Beth James and her daughter Liza will be racing as a team. Beth James and her daughter Liza are on a journey together to compete at Ironman Wisconsin September 9th. Liza suffered from a traumatic brain injury in a car accident fourteen years ago. Taking inspiration from Rick and Dick Hoyt, Beth and Liza found joy through riding and running outdoors. This is an inspiring interview and story of adversity, love and discovery. Talansky competed in cross-country running at high school in Florida before taking up competitive cycling at age 17. After success in local amateur races, he moved to Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina, winning the collegiate national championship race in his freshman year. He left college after one year to join the Amore & Vita team in Italy in 2009, but found the conditions unsatisfactory and returned to the US that spring.[4] He raced in the US in 2009 without team support. After a strong ride at the Tour of the Gila race, he joined Garmin for the 2010 season, moving up to the professional team for 2011, where he made the top ten at the 2011 Tour de Romandie. In 2012, Talansky scored his first professional victory in Europe at the Tour de l'Ain, and was named Garmin's lead rider for the 2012 Vuelta a España,[5] finishing seventh on the general classification. In 2013, he came second in Paris-Nice, having led the race for two days, and was selected for the Tour de France for the first time, again making the top ten overall. He won the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné, joining a high quality breakaway group on the final stage to overcome a 39-second deficit to overnight race leader Alberto Contador. He retired from the 2014 Tour de France after a very uncomfortable day on his bike, due to multiple crashes. The broom wagon was following him at the end of the stage. In September 2017 Talansky announced his retirement from competition via an Instagram post. However, the following month he indicated that he was now "un-retired" and would take up competing in triathlon Teasers for topics: 303Merge - Bill Donkey Run Practice - Khem TO and losing the pink helmet AG World Champs in Gold Coast; Stacia and Kevie - https://goldcoast.triathlon.org/2018_itu_world_triathlon_grand_final/ Use of anti-biotics and training or racing - https://runnersconnect.net/antibiotics-and-running-performance/ Ironman Title Sponsor Amazon - http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/world-championship.aspx#/axzz5QwfJtuZ5 Video of the week: Tim and Rinny Show I lost the Pink helmet bet Make a donation at their Ironman Foundation site of $20 and be entered in a draw Talks about how the ride up to Hawi last year surprised him with 330 watts and he's preparing for that effort in his training Keep watching and there's a video of Tim getting out of his high altitude tent Upcoming Interviews: Coach Matt Fitzgerald - author of The Endurance Diet, 80/20 Running and now 80/20 Triathlon with David Warden Jim Vance - will join us soon to take the discussion of Today's Plan to the practical application as a coach or athlete and talk in greater detail about how it can make you more effective and efficient as a coach Todd Carver, Cliff Simms and Franko Vaterott- co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.

Listen up mountain bikers! Our interview this week is with the professional mountain biker, Ryan Petry. Ryan recently placed a close second at Haute Route Rockies and is racing next weekend at the Leadville 100 MTB race. Thanks to last week's guest, Mark Fleming of iKOR Labs who helped us sort through all of the information about hemp extract, CBD and the benefits that endurance athletes are experiencing. This turned out to be a pretty engaging topic and prompted a couple of good posts, which we'll read out here in a bit. Ryan Petry as you will hear is an axe on the MTB. In 2016, he finished 7th overall at the Leadville 100 MTB with a time of 06:48:54. We are going to talk about his Haute Route Rockies result and much more. Let's get into the interview. Discussion topics: Ryan Petry, Haute Route and Leadville 100 MTB Khem's Donkey DNF and Ranger CBD Discussion Barry Siff - Been using iKOR for about four months now and getting incredible results. CBD (a hemp extract) is not banned by WADA or USADA, and reduces inflammation (noticeably!), thus helping recovery, plus other benefits. Excellent listen here with the Founder, Mark Fleming. Thanks Rich ... and, congrats on the metabolic results with Bob Seebohar! Mitchell Kusick - Thank you for conducting such an informative interview elucidating the benefits (and legality) of CBD in endurance sports! This was one of my favorite episodes as of late as I feel that there are a lot of people interested in this topic... That being said, given that there is a dearth of in-vivo studies supporting the strong anecdotal evidence, would you allow your daughter, as a younger athlete (like myself), to take CBD oil daily as an ergogenic aid? 303 Updates from Bill IM Boulder 70.3 Coverage Upcoming interviews: Don Reichelt and Badwater 135 3rd place. Andrew Talansky and IM Whistler result - fastest bike split, 7th overall Matt Smith on swim workouts designed for specific training goals, swim form, common issues, etc. Cliff Simms - co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.

Our interview this week is with 3x Ironman World Champ Craig "Crowie" Alexander. We are talking about the SANSEGO Clinic in Boulder June 15-17. If you are a triathlete who lives in the greater Denver area, you couldn't ask for a better coaching clinic opportunity. You don't have to take off a bunch of time from work. You don't have to travel. When you hear what's included, you are going to realize what a value it is. Plus, we are going to do a drawing this week for one person who will get a free registration to the clinic. Hint - there's a clue in the interview! Thanks to last week's guests, coach and nutrition expert Bob Seebohar. Not only did Bob share some great information to build on our knowledge of how to fuel yourself for endurance athletic success, we formally kicked off the "get metabolically efficient" project this week. We have more on that in a little bit! As mentioned in the intro, Crowie is a 3x Ironman World Champion. He also has 2 70.3 world championship titles. As a father, husband, businessman and athlete, Crowie has felt the same pressures you do in balancing family, a career and your passion for the sport of triathlon. The Sansego Advance program provides an opportunity to train with Crowie and get expert guidance from the Sansego team of coaches in a three-day program. Instead of taking a week off work and away from family to go to a training camp, you can join us during the day, sleep in your own bed and spend time with your family, all without having to take time off work. For this program, you'll have the chance to train with Crowie in his second home of Boulder, Colorado, the mecca of triathlon. You'll experience some classic training routes of the top Ironman pros and see a day in the life of a pro living in Boulder. SANSEGO discussion and giveaway instruction/rules How do people submit their entry for the give away? Tell people on Facebook live to Crowie's lie via Facebook comments on the MHE and 303 Facebook podcast post? Should it matter if you cheat by copying someone else? How are we going to do the draw?

Please support our affiliate brands that support the show and help you get faster! The Halo Sport from Halo Neuroscience will help you learn the technique and form to get faster. You wear the Halo Headset for 20 minutes and use the paired app on your phone to do what they call "neural priming". The headset looks like Beats headphones, the top band has plates that you moisten. When you start the "neural priming" from the app, the plates conduct electrical wave stimulation of the motor cortex part of the brain which puts it into a state of hyper plasticity, which simply means that the brain can make neural connections faster and help you learn quicker. Motor skills rely on the brain to send signals to the correct muscles and parts of muscles in the right order. Through plasticity, your brain is able to ensure that your neurons are working together for a precise result Endurance relies on the motor cortex to repeat an action for an extended period of time. Each time you take a step, swim a stroke, or pedal a bike, your brain and your muscles consume energy. Via plasticity, your training leads to more efficient movements, reducing the energy cost of each action and allowing you to endure for a longer period of time. Strength relies on the motor cortex to ensure that your muscle fibers are contracting together and not competing with each other. Powerful output requires the coordination of the many thousands of neurons that activate a group of primary and synergist muscles. With plasticity, the brain learns to contract more useful muscle fibers and relax opposing fibers, allowing you to lift more.

Our topic this week is "how to get to Kona"? We talk to Level 3 coach Mike Ricci on how to transform yourself from an average age-grouper to a Kona qualifier. Everything from picking the right coach to picking the right race is right here today. Thanks to last week's guests, Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center. We received some good feedback on the interview. Coaches including Mike Ricci and 3 time Olympian Jim Galanes liking that content. I have to say, this topic of nutrition and metabolic rates is extremely personal and inter-related. I'm pleased about the positive feedback and a little relieved there wasn't some negative feedback. As I mentioned, I know there are people who experience success with different approaches. I had Dr. Bob Seebohar on my mind while preparing the content last week. Bob has talked with us in the past about metabolic efficiency. I'd like to get him back on to discuss this because I know there's something to it, but I want to do it in a way that is not confusing to the audience. Kona is the serious goal of many triathletes. For many, it just seems like a dream or unattainable goal. Whether you have already earned your ticket to the Ironman World Championship or it just preoccupies your triathlete dreams, you will want to hear what coach Mike Ricci has some great advice. Discussion Topics: How to go from average age-grouper to Kona Qualifier? Can you cram for an Ironman? Wildflower report Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT and how to attach a bike race number so it is aero? Glue or pin? Upcoming Interviews: USA Navy coach Billy Edwards to break down USAT Nationals Coach Matt Bottrill out of the UK joins us to discuss bike aerodynamic form. He is Tim Don (and I believe Rachel Joyces's cycling coach). Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our topic this week is Part 2 on "No Guessing". We continue our interview Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center. I mentioned some of the topics we are going to hit last week. If you missed it, you are going to hear Inigo's definitions of each training zone. You will learn what muscle types map to which zone, understand the relationship between metabolic rates and sources and muscle fiber types and zones. It's going to be a science lesson hootinany! Thanks to last week's guests, professional triathlete's Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce. Can't wait to see Tim and Rachel at Kona this year! Taking the No Guessing topic with Inigo to the next level. I have some training zone definitions straight from Inigo, plus I have taken my metabolic report results and done a comparison to a generic online race nutrition calculator. I want to illustrate how different MY and perhaps YOUR individual results might be to generic calculators. Plus, we have the final results in from USAT Collegiate Nationals. I want to share the rankings and some results, plus give a couple of special "shout outs" to some individuals and teams. Shout Outs to: Tim Hola and his dad qualify for Kona at IM Texas. Josh Shadle's mom for also finishing IM Texas My team mates at Renegade Endurance who finished IM Texas. Scowl to any one (not any of my friends) who drafted at IM Texas Shout out to my athlete Brady Nelson for his finish at IM 70.3 St George Also a shout out to Lionel Sanders for his win at 70.3 St George with a 3:41.11. Also, upcoming guest and professional Andrew Talansky for his finish today at IM 70.3 St George with an unofficial 4:03.31 Dr. San Millán is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Director of the Sports Performance Program at the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Boulder, Colorado. Listen closely to the concepts that we discuss. After the interview, I'm going to share my actual data and drive home the point that relying on assumptions, generic calculators for training zones, caloric expenditure, etc. can be highly risky. Inigo's Training Zone Definitions -Z1 is recovery -Z2 is the exercise intensity where you achieve the maximal fat oxidation rate (FATmax) which also coincides with the first lactate inflection point. This is indicative of maximal Type 1 muscle fiber recruitment before Type IIa starts kicking in. -Z3 is when type IIa muscle fibers kick in and there is a sharp decrease in Fat oxidation and increase in CHO oxidation. The Cross-over point usually happens here. Also there is a continuous rise in lactate accumulation. -Z4 is the exercise intensity at which Fat oxidation completely disappears and CHO is the only fuel available. Furthermore, this also coincides with a 2nd lactate inflection point (“Lactate threshold”). This metabolic state denotes maximal Type IIa muscle fiber recruitment before Type IIb fibers kick in. -Z5 is usually your VO2max, or maximal effort you can sustain and starting to incur in anaerobic metabolism. This intensity can only be sustained for ~2-3 minutes. -Z6 is your anaerobic metabolism and dependable on ATP stores as glycolysis is not fast enough to supply ATP for the muscles. Usually sprinting intensity. Examples of Nutrition Calculations (Assumption v Reality) Zone 1 Do you know how many calories you are burning per hour? Me - TrainingPeaks: 590/hr at z1 - No indication of what % comes from fat Generic Calculator: 519/hr at z1 (67% from fat) Actual Test: 770/hr at z1 (26% from fat) If I used a generic calculator I might assume I'm only burning 171 calories of glycogen/hour. In reality, I'm using 570. An error of 330%. Zone 3 Me - TrainingPeaks: 797 Generic Calculator: 774 (28% from fat) Actual Test: 979 (7.7% from fat) Generic calculator says I'm using 557 calories of glycogen/hour. In reality I'm using 904. Upcoming Interviews: Level 3 coach Mike Ricci of D3 Multisport to talk about how to advance from age-grouper to elite USA Navy coach Billy Edwards to break down USAT Nationals Coach Matt Bottrill out of the UK joins us to discuss bike aerodynamic form.

Our interview this week is titled Brits in Boulder to celebrate St Georges Day this past Monday. Bill and I met with professional triathlete's Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce at Ivan O'Gorman's bike fit studio just outside of Boulder and had a very casual interview and discussion. As you will hear we discussed a number of topics and are super grateful for their time and for sharing their time and perspectives as professional triathletes. Saint George's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint George, is the feast day of Saint George as celebrated by various Christian Churches and by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint. Thanks to last week's guest, Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance on the topic of metabolic testing. Last week was part 1 of a 2-part interview. There was a lot to digest in last week's interview and we much, much more to get to with Inigo. Because of the way the dates fell with St. Georges Day being this past week, we wanted to shift gears for a week and share the Brits in Boulder interview with Tim, Rachel and James. Next week we will return to the final half of the interview with Inigo next week. I'll elaborate further on what you will hear next week in part 2 - you do not want to miss it. Before we get into today's interview, I want to relay some updates from Bill and Khem, which we discussed this morning. I won't try to represent what they discussed this morning, but would like to share a couple of brief highlights. Bill is back from Haute Route San Francisco. Overall it sounded like he had an awesome experience, but Haute Route was no joke. After taking a ferry to the start, the first stage started from Jack London Square after taking in Oakland and was a 100 mile and more than 10k feet of climbing with Mt Diablo. Mt Diablo is a featured part of the Tour of California race. After they finished in Oakland, the racers took a ferry back to San Francisco for a good meal and massage. The 87 mile stage two started at the Presidio and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge. There was another 8500 feet of climbing and it sounds like it was pretty relentless, but pretty epic at the same time. The gist of what Bill reported was that it's a great experience, extremely well supported, but very challenging. Khem gave an update on the Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT. This was week four and the conditions were calm Wednesday at Cherry Creek Reservoir. There were reportedly a lot of fast times on the 9.5 mile course and Khem knocked nearly a minute off her previous week's time. There are three more weeks to go and I'm hoping to be out there next week with her. After the interview I'll go into a little detail on the USAT Collegiate and HS Club Nationals in Tuscaloosa. I'll also provide a little more on last week's interview with Dr. Inigo San Milan and talk about what you will hear in next week's episode and the information that Inigo has yet to share. Rachel Joyce has six top ten finishes in Kona to her name (6th:2009, 5th:2010, 4th:2011, 2nd:2013, 3rd:2014, 2nd:2015), a world title and four Iron distance titles (Ironman Lanzarote 2011, Challenge Roth 2012, Ironman Texas 2013, Ironman Cozumel 2013 and Ironman Boulder in 2017). Her finish time in Challenge Roth (8:45:03) also puts her down as the fifth fastest woman over the Iron distance and is one of only 4 women to finish in sub-9hours at the Ironman World Championships (8:57:28). London was “home” for 10 years but now Rachel has moved Stateside and lives year round in Boulder, Colorado. She has been coached by Julie Dibens since the end of 2014. Her ambition in the sport is to win Kona as well as tick off a few “bucket list” races she has on her list….Wildflower, Ironman Lake Placid, St Croix 70.3 and Escape from Alcatraz to name a few. James Hadley Originally from England, UK, has been an athlete for 28 years. He progressed quickly through years of hard work and dedication to race as a professional triathlete internationally for 11 of these years. During this time James has been taught by some of the best coaches in the world, whilst also training/racing alongside some of the all time great athletes triathlon has ever produced. He was accepted into Bath University and started training in earnest with the triathlon team. During a visit to Australia he met coach Siri Lindley, who was “instrumental” in motivating him to take his training to the next level. He moved to Boulder to train with Lindley and still lives there today. Great Britain's Tim Don posted a 7:40:23 at the Ironman South American Championship in Brazil on May 28, 2017 to become the fastest athlete to ever finish an Ironman-branded race. The former ITU star put together a 44:16 swim, a 4:06:56 bike and a 2:44:46 marathon to post the incredible 7:40:23 finishing time and break Canadian Lionel Sanders' record of 7:44:29, which was just set at last November's Ironman Arizona. In addition to the record, Don earned the championship victory with an astounding 25-minute margin over second-place finisher Kyle Buckingham of South Africa and will be guaranteed a slot for October's Ironman World Championship. Follow up comments about last week's interview One of the topics from last week was a reference to calculating of sweat rate. If you are unfamiliar with how to calculate your sweat rate, I recommend you read the blog article on the MHE Blog http://milehightripodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/determining-your-sweat-rate.html The basic process is this: Weigh yourself prior to your workout Weigh yourself after your workout Note how much fluid you consumed during Note (generally how much fluid you lost through peeing) Maintain a spreadsheet. My spreadsheet has: Date Time Temperature Activity Duration (minutes) Weight Prior Weight After Weight Change in pounds: multiply by 16 to convert to ounces Fluid Consumed Fluid Excreted Sweat Rate in ounces USAT Collegiate Club Nationals in Tuscaloosa. The USA Triathlon Collegiate Club & High School National Championships are this Friday and Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with nearly 1,300 collegiate competitors from 120 collegiate clubs and more than 150 high schoolers registered to compete. There was a course change announced and now executed. All races will be shifted from a triathlon (swim-bike-run) to a duathlon(run-bike-run) to ensure athlete safety. Heavy rainfall in Tuscaloosa the past two weeks led to the Holt Dam spillway gates being opened by local officials to avoid flooding. Heightened volume in the Black Warrior River necessitated that the gates remain open through race weekend, resulting in overly strong currents that were deemed unsafe for swimming. Racing Friday included the Draft-Legal Collegiate Club Championships, in which athletes covered a 2.5-kilometer run, draft-legal 20-kilometer bike and another 2.5-kilometer run. The draft-legal format, which allows athletes to work together and pace off eachother on the bike, is similar to what is contested in elite International Triathlon Union (ITU) competitions and the OlympicGames. Some of the nation's up-and-coming multisport athletes will compete at the USA Triathlon High School National Championships. The course will cover a 2.5k run, non-drafting 21.45k bike and 2.5k run. High school boys, including two athletes competing in the Paratriathlon Open division The action continues Saturday morning with nearly the entire field of collegiate athletes competing in the Olympic-Distance Collegiate Club Championships. The course covers a 5.2k run, 40k bike and another 5.2k run. The race also includes a Paratriathlon Open division, which features a 5.2k run, 20k bike and 5.2k run. I enjoyed working with Caryn Marconi today. Caryn is USAT's Communication Manager and was doing an amazing job making sure all teams, coaches, media knew about the changes and handling all of the social media with her team. COO Tim Yount did and incredible job announcing today and you can tell how passionate he is about these young athletes and the sport of triathlon. He follows the progress of these athletes and he knows how to keep the spectators informed and engaged. Upcoming interviews: Part 2 of Inigo and metabolic training We'll hear Inigo's definition of training in Zone 2 and how to train to how to improve fat burning and lactate clearing. When you don't train properly in Zone 2, you are not training the Type 1 muscle fibers. When you don't train those fibers, they atrophy. When Type 1 fibers atrophy, you get reduced mitochondrial function and impair your ability to clear lactate. Accumulation of lactate results in H Ions affecting acidosis and muscle contraction We'll hear Inigo talk about target carbohydrate consumption at 10-15 hours of training per week - spoiler alert - it's about 3-4 g/kg We'll hear how chronically low glycogen results in catabolic effect, loss of muscle mass and results in higher cortisol and adrenal fatigue and even hypothyroidism We'll Inigo's theory on the relationship between Coronary disease related to inflammation; One of the things that Bill brought up on his Haute Route race was that his heart rate couldn't get much above 130 beats/minute. Inigo does an excellent job explaining what is happening physiologically that causes us to not be able to elevate our heart rate. The basic idea is that the brain needs glucose. If the brain senses there's not enough glycogen to share with the muscles and liver, the brain controls how much glycogen they get. It also reduces adrenaline production and adrenaline reduction results in lower heart rate. Tim Don's cycling coach Matt Bottrill on aerodynamic form. Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our guest this week is Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance on the topic of metabolic testing. Last week you'll recall that I mentioned one of the reasons for "why" we do this podcast, which was our ability to have conversations with interesting and quality people like Josh Shadle and Dr. Jason Karp. Another reason that we do this is that triathlon and endurance sports have inherent complexities and things you need to learn over time. We are driven to learn and the content that we provide is really a bi-product of that passion for us to learn. Even after doing this for more than a decade, I continue to refine and expand my knowledge. Things that I thought I understood, I gain a deeper appreciation for or improved understanding. You are going to get an invaluable science lesson today folks. We are going to talk about CU's proprietary ultrasound muscle testing for metabolic damage and glycogen storage. If haven't been tested, then you are flat out guessing. I was astonished at what I learned. Plus, if you think going slow is for sissy's, think again. After you hear this, you are going to want to know our zone 2 numbers and respect them. Thanks to last week's guest, Josh Shadle of Fuelary. He'shelped us understand a more contemporary approach to wellness and performance. The more proactive approach tests in narrower ranges, more markers and more frequently to help identify wellness and performance opportunities. If you missed it, go back and listen to episode #121 Dr. San Millán is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Director of the Sports Performance Program at the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Boulder, Colorado. He is an internationally renowned applied physiologist having worked for the past 20 years for many professional teams and elite athletes worldwide across multiple sports like running, football, soccer, basketball, rowing, triathlon, swimming, Olympics and cycling including eight Pro Cycling Teams. He has also been consultant in exercise physiology and sports medicine to international organizations like the US Olympic Committee and the International Cycling Union. He has been a pioneer in developing new methodologies for monitoring athletes at the metabolic and physiological level including a novel method to measure mitochondrial function in vivo as well as the the invention, along his colleague Dr. John Hill, of the first method to measure skeletal muscle glycogen in a non-invasive manner using high frequency ultrasound. His areas of research, clinical work and interest include exercise metabolism, nutrition, sports performance, overtraining, diabetes, cancer and critical care. Brits in Boulder, Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce. Franko Vatterott helped us get the trio of British pro triathletes together and Bill arranged for us to meet at Ivan O'Gorman's bike fit studio. We discussed why they chose to move and stay in Boulder. We talk about what it's like running your professional triathlete career as a business, keeping your edge, the future of British triathletes, and much, much more. Part 2 of Inigo and metabolic training Tim Don was sharing what he's been doing with his coach Matt Bottrill in the wind tunnel and on aerodynamic form. Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our guest this week is Josh Shadle of Fuelary. He's going to help us understand a more contemporary approach to wellness and performance. A lot of athletes are starting to be more proactive than the annual physical with their GP and getting the standard blood screening which tests within broad ranges of "normal". The more proactive approach tests in narrower ranges, more markers and more frequently to help identify wellness and performance opportunities. Thanks to last week's guest, Dr. Jason Karp who gave us helped with "The Right Way to Do Run Intervals". With his PhD in physiology, Masters in Kinesiology and a BA in sports science, he is about as educated as anyone in the field and yet he writes and conveys concepts in a way the ley person can understand. If you missed it, go back and listen to episode #120. One of the things I love about what we do is that we get to meet some very interesting and quality people. We were introduced to Josh by Will Murrray, our regular mental skills coach. Josh has a life story that I'm honored that he shared with such transparence and vulnerability. He has followed his calling and passion and is doing things that help regular people and athletes be at their best. Whether your goal is weight loss or performance they have tests and plans that are design to make you happy, healthy, and horny. Discussion Topics: Brits in Boulder - Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce CU Sports Medicine Haute Route Upcoming Iterviews: Inigo San Milan on the metabolic testing process. You've heard some basics of what we discussed already, but you will be able to hear the science lesson for yourself. Brits in Boulder, Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce. Franko Vatterott helped us get the trio of British pro triathletes together and Bill arranged for us to meet at Ivan O'Gorman's bike fit studio.

Last week's guest Thanks to last week's guest, ultra and adventure racer Travis Macy who is the author of The Ultra Mindset: an endurance champion's 8 core principles for success in business, sports and life. If you haven't heard the interview yet, go back and check it out on episode #105. Discussion Teasers After the interview I'll have some thoughts on the interview with Jim Vance, his book Triathlon 2.0, considerations for the self-coached athlete, and an offer to those who want to take their training to the next level or feel like they could use the partnership of a coach this season. I also have some reflections on some of the show highlights this year and some of the interviews that were particularly memorable and informational. Last, I have a funny Christmas triathlon gift story and a ask to see if any of you have good triathlon or gear Christmas stories that you would share. That's it for the teasers, let's go to the interview. Interview Setup Jim Vance is an elite endurance sports coach, author, and sport technology and training consultant based in San Diego, California. He is the personal coach 2016 US Olympic triathlete Ben Kanute, guiding him to 2017 performances of victory at Escape from Alcatraz and Island House Triathlon, as well as a 2nd place finish at the 70.3 World Championships. Triathlon 2.0 is an extremely useful book if you are a self-coached athlete. It will help give you concrete information on how to use data to do baseline testing, guidelines for determining goal training stress, and concepts for how to create a periodized training plan. After the interview, we'll go through a couple pages of the book to give you a practical example of how to determine goal CTL for each the bike and run using an hypothetical athlete and race distance. As Jim emphasizes in the book, these will just be examples and do not apply to all athletes or all race situations. Let's get into the interview now. Interview Jim Vance Health IQ Ad And we are back. Thanks again to Health IQ for sponsoring today's interview. The Health IQ advantage is their unique mortality model that enables lower rates for health conscious people. Just like having a good driving record saves you money on auto insurance, Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and more. With other life insurance companies, you might be penalized for family history, BMI, and other attributes but don't get rewarded for your health conscious lifestyle. You put in the time to train consistently, have the discipline to get out there in the cold, in the dark, you eat well, and you get the rewards of greater energy, and you feel good about yourself. Let's face it, you spend money on race registrations, gym memberships and gear. See if you can reward yourself further and recoup some of those investments. See how much you can save.

Host Discussion Topics Practical example from Triathlon 2.0 As Jim and I discussed, there is no substitute for using hard data to assess and measure performance. This is not to say that there is not a time and place for training or racing by feel. I'll give you a couple of examples. I like to do some rides and runs where I never look at a bike computer or look at my watch. If I'm thinking about the data on my device, that part of my concentration that is on the device is not on the effort or form of the training itself. In this case performance might be limited by not being able to fully concentrate on the training. Here's another example, there are times with the information on the screen might limit your performance because you curtail effort because the data is telling you are going harder or faster than your rate of perceived exertion. Let's say your 5 minute peak power is 300 watts from previous training sessions. You are doing a 5 minute Vo2 max effort on the bike and you look down and your average 20 second power has been 310 for the first minute of your interval. You may not believe you are capable of carrying that effort for the remaining 4 minutes and end up backing off. If you were training by feel and just going off RPE, you actually may have been on a breakthrough performance and could have achieved a new PR 5 minute peak power. My daughter's high school cross country coach won't let the athletes race with watches because it can limit their competitive nature. The concern that they may be in the heat of battle keeping pace with a team mate or a lead group, and they see that their pace is 10 seconds faster than they've trained to and they back off and let that team mate or group go. So there is a time and place for going by feel. Here's where you want some actual data - let's say you are doing your functional threshold testing for bFTP or rFTP. You may do the effort without looking at a watch or power meter if you have a coach or lab tech doing your test, but you damn sure want to have data to record what the power or pace is, correct? Here's another, when you work with a coach or go to prepare you periodized training plan, you need to assess your current training load and your goal training load based on your "A" race goal and "goal" for that race (meaning distance and planned result). Just using hours of training or mileage is not a measure of actual stress because they don't account for intensity. Plus, as we learned in the interview with Jim, preriodization is changing the type of training you are doing as you progress from phase to phase through your plan. You start in the base phase doing general training and get more specific the closer you get to your goal. Similarly, your intensity increases when you get into your build and peak phases altering the training load for a given duration or distance. Having an objective measure of the starting CTL and goal CTL are critical to your plan. You can assess your baseline CTL by using TrainingPeaks as long as you are recording all of your bike and run workouts and are using power and/or heart rate. As Jim mentioned, you want to track these seperately. You should work with a qualified coach to help you determine what your target CTL is for your race goal and to know whether your ramp rate from the baseline to the goal given the number of weeks to your "A" race is appropriate.

Some of the interviews that really stood out for me: The late Terry Laughlin from Total Immersion was such an amazing contributor to our sport and the sport of swimming. Terry revolutionized swim learning and swimming techniques to help people swim faster with less effort. Coach David Warden who was the host of Tri-Talk and a science-based coaching. He was one of the inspirations for MHE and he consulted me as I researched starting the show. He was a contributing author to Triathlon Science and is one of the smartest coaches in the business. We have had legendary professional athletes like Amanda Stevens, Joanna Zeiger, Mary Beth Ellis, Rachel Joyce, Andrew Talansky, TJ Tollakson, Bek Keat, Siri Lindley, Ben Hoffman and Matt Chrabot We have had our friends at USAT including Rocky Harris, Tim Yount, Jessica Welk, Meg Duncan and Barry Siff Finally we have had some of the best coaches in the business including some of the legendary athletes plus Melissa Mantak, Ken Axford, Sara McLarty, Will Murray, and of course Jim Vance. Of course there's also the Kona coverage and all of the special interviews we did on that trip including Bob Babbitt, Mike Reilly, Tim Hola, Chrissy Wellington, Andy Potts and Tim O'Donnell. Among the highlights of 2017 is of course the partnership with 303Triathlon and the entire team. Of course that includes Bill Plock and Khem Suthiwan. It also includes Dana Willet, Jen Findlay, Todd Plymale-Mallory and Kim Welk. I'd like to thank them for supporting MHE and welcoming me as a part of the 303 team. Thanks to all of the people who have supported MHE.

Rocky Harris debrief topics: Rocky has met with several constituent groups in his first 90 days, which do you think presented the greatest opportunity based on what you heard? Rocky mentioned several new ideas. In your opinion, which have the most promise? What impressed you the most? My feeling is that triathlon is in the hands of someone that knows how to make an honest assessment of opportunities and has some really exciting ideas. Ideas that I liked was the standardized "one stop shopping" for races, a Yelp-like rating platform. Khem's topics: Premier Bills topics: Spin class promo Rich's topics: Indoor training; finding your most efficient cadence; and the quest for your peak power output https://www.active.com/cycling/articles/why-fast-pedaling-makes-cyclists-more-efficient To determine the actual effects of slow and fast pedaling on leg-muscle cells, scientists at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Wyoming asked eight experienced cyclists to cycle at an intensity of 85 percent V02max for 30 minutes under two different conditions. In one case the cyclists pedaled their bikes at 50 revolutions per minute (rpm) while using a high gear. In the second case, the athletes pedaled in a low gear at 100 rpm. The athletes were traveling at identical speeds in the two instances, so their leg-muscle contractions were quite forceful at 50 rpm and moderate—but more frequent—at 100 rpm. As it turned out, the athletes' oxygen consumption rates were nearly identical in the two cases, and heart and breathing rates, total rate of power production, and blood lactate levels were also similar. However, athletes broke down the carbohydrate in their muscles at a greater rate when the 50 rpm strategy was used, while the 100 rpm cadence produced a greater reliance on fat. The greater glycogen depletion at 50 rpm occurred only in fast-twitch muscle cells. Slow-twitch muscle cells lost comparable amounts of their glycogen at 50 and 100 rpm, but fast-twitch cells lost almost 50 percent of their glycogen at 50 rpm and only 33 percent at 100 rpm, even though the exercise bouts lasted for 30 minutes in each case. This rapid loss of carbohydrate in the fast-twitch cells during slow, high-force pedaling probably explains why slow pedaling is less efficient than faster cadences of 80 to 85 rpm. Basically, as the fast fibers quickly deplete their glycogen during slow, high-strength pedaling, their contractions become less forceful, so more muscle cells must be activated to maintain a particular speed. This activation of a larger number of muscle cells then leads to higher oxygen consumption rates and reduced economy. This scenario, in which slow pedaling pulls the glycogen out of fast-twitch muscle cells, may sound paradoxical but it isn't; after all, slow pedaling rates are linked with high gears and elevated muscle forces, while fast cadences are associated with low gears and easy muscle contractions. Since fast-twitch fibers are more powerful than slow-twitch cells, the fast-twitch fibers swing into action at slow cadences, when high muscular forces are needed to move the bicycle along rapidly. On the other hand, "fast" pedaling rates of 80 to 100 rpm are not too hot for the slow-twitch cells to handle. Slow-twitch cells can contract 80 to 100 times per minute and can easily cope with the forces required to pedal in low gear. Another possible paradox in the Wisconsin/Wyoming research was that fast pedaling led to greater fat oxidation, even though maximal fat burning is usually linked with slow-paced efforts. Basically, the higher fat degradation at 100 rpm occurred because the slow-twitch cells handled the fast-paced, low-force contractions. Slow-twitch fibers are much better fat-burners than their fast-twitch neighbors. Fortunately, there's a bottom line to all this: During training and competition, cyclists should attempt to use fast pedaling rates of 80 to 85 rpm, both on the flat and on inclines. Compared to slower cadences, the higher pedaling speeds are more economical and burn more fat during exercise. Ultimately, the high pedaling rates also preserve greater amounts of glycogen in fast-twitch muscle fibers, leading to more explosive "kicks" to the finish line in closing moments of races.

An episode which focuses on the pro riders using Zwift, taking in current pro riders, a new pro rider in the form of Leah Thorvilson, the winner of the Zwift Academy scheme which used the platform as a talent trawl and a former pro rider who’s discovering a new lease of racing life virtually. Shane and Nathan get the day off as Simon travels to Girona to spend some time with the Cannondale Drapac team. Whilst there, he caught up with Andrew Talansky and Taylor Phinney, huge stars on the World Tour circuit and enthusiastic Zwifters. Leah Thorvilson has just completed her first UCI races with her new team Canyon SRAM, WMN Cycling. She talks frankly about the “horrifying” aspects of racing as part of the pro peloton but also how much she’s learning - and how fast. Adrian Timmis raced the Tour de France in 1987 as part of the ill-fated Halfords ANC British team. Now he’s back racing, but on Zwift and he’s as competitive as ever. Adrian reflects on his experiences. This episode is also packed with pro tips, from the pros, on how they use the platform to hone their form. Hear about “favourite” intervals from Patrick Bevin; Ryan Mullen; Tom Skujins – and what a debt Brendan Canty owes to the Zwiftcast’s very own Shane Miller. There’s also an interview with the team’s performance director, Keith Flory, explaining the value of indoor training.
Lance Armstrong is going to trial. What does that mean for cycling, and cycling's image? Hint: It probably isn't good. The pro rider's union, CPA, just sent a letter to the UCI detailing its continued opposition to disc brakes in the pro peloton. But do its arguments have any merit? Maybe not. Fred Dreier, Spencer Powlison, and Caley Fretz discuss discs, Armstrong, and three upcoming stage races where both classics contenders and GC men will strut their stuff. Then, Fretz talks about his recent feature on a mellower, faster Andrew Talansky.

Randy is on his way to Chicago to put on a junior cycling clinic and a track clinic so was unavailable for this episode. Dean, Taylor and Nick discuss the latest from the Giro d' Italia including the end of the second week. Dean has just returned from covering stages 2 through 6 of the Amgen Tour of California and brings interviews with Boels-Doelman's American Megan Guarnier, winner of stage 1 of the women's Amgen Tour of California.

If the Critérium du Dauphiné is an experiment for the Tour, then July will be a roaring success. But with so much more to lose, will we see B1 and B2 - that being bravado and bravura - play like they did at the Dauphiné? It's up for debate by Al Hinds, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold in this week's Cycling Central podcast. The trio gauge the form of the GC riders, potential chinks in Sky's armour, and Dauphiné winner Andrew Talansky overtaking Tejay van Garderen as American cycling's Next Big Thing. What to make of Belkin's premature exit from cycling? The old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' surely does not apply to professional cycling - the system is completely broken! Is cycling a good investment, or do you still need two million to make a million from the sport? And what ado about TUEs, or Therapeutic Use Exemptions? Defending Tour champ Chris Froome hurryingly applied for one just prior to the Tour de Romandie, before winning said event. Given the culture of suspicion still within cycling, shouldn't TUEs be applied for and approved/disapproved prior to the start of each season, and subsequent to that, if you do fall ill, you either man up or take the bench?
