Understanding Fat Oxidation and How to Improve It for Endurance Athletes In this episode, we dive into the critical role of fat oxidation for endurance athletes and explore practical strategies to enhance it. We also feature insights from Dr. Dan Plews of ENDURE IQ, a renowned expert in sports science and endurance training. What is Fat Oxidation? Fat oxidation is the process by which the body breaks down fats for energy. For endurance athletes, improving fat oxidation is crucial as it allows the body to rely on fat for fuel during prolonged exercise, sparing glycogen and enhancing performance. Key Points on Improving Fat Oxidation: Train at the Right Intensity: Incorporate low-intensity sessions (zone 2 peak fat max) to improve fat utilization. Increase Mitochondrial Density: Regular aerobic training boosts the body's ability to oxidize fat by increasing mitochondria in muscle cells. Utilize Specific Fueling Strategies: Experiment with fat-based fuels like medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to promote fat metabolism during training. Periodization of Training: Combine high-intensity and low-intensity sessions to improve metabolic flexibility. Nutrition Adjustments: Focus on a balanced diet that promotes fat metabolism, with adequate healthy fats and nutrient-dense foods. Hydration and Electrolyte Balance: Maintain proper hydration and electrolyte levels to support metabolic functions, including fat oxidation. Monitor and Adjust: Use metabolic testing to track fat oxidation rates and adjust training and nutrition based on performance data. Dr. Dan Plews & ENDURE IQ's Approach to Fat Adaptation: Dr. Plews highlights the importance of structured training and nutrition strategies to optimize fat oxidation. The ENDURE IQ 101 course includes phases like: Fat Oxidation Base Training Incorporating fat-burning intervals Fueling experiments Monitoring performance with tools like metabolic testing By focusing on individualized approaches and periodized training, athletes can enhance fat oxidation, metabolic flexibility, and overall endurance performance.

In this conversation, Dr. Dan Plews interviews Greg Peoples about the role of Omega-3 fatty acids in sports nutrition. They discuss the differences between EPA and DHA, the importance of Omega-3s in physiology, and the benefits for athletes. They also explore the Omega-3 index, supplementation, and the optimal dosage for athletes. The conversation highlights the need for consistent intake of Omega-3s and the potential benefits for recovery, muscle soreness, and cardiovascular health. Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in inflammation and recovery for athletes. The ratio between EPA and arachidonic acid is important for balancing pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. The ideal ratio is around 11:1. Rugby league players in Australia had a ratio of 11, while college NFL players in the US had a ratio of 35 due to their high intake of Omega-6 fats. Supplementing with Omega-3s can reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery time. The quality and composition of Omega-3 supplements vary, so it's important to choose a reputable brand. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 07:41 Differences Between EPA and DHA 14:18 Importance of Omega-3s for Athletes 18:18 Low Omega-3 Index in Athletes 23:24 Supplementation and Dosage 25:57 Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio 38:53 The Importance of the EPA to Arachidonic Acid Ratio 45:12 Reducing Muscle Soreness and Improving Recovery with Omega-3s 53:41 Choosing the Right Omega-3 Supplement 01:08:44 The Future of Omega-3 Research Takeaways Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, play important roles in physiology and have different functions in the body. The Omega-3 index, which measures the percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cells, is a useful biomarker for assessing Omega-3 status. Consistent intake of Omega-3s is important for athletes, and a minimum dose of 1000 mg is recommended. Taking Omega-3 capsules with food can enhance absorption and utilization. Vegan athletes may have lower levels of EPA and DHA and should consider alternative sources, such as algal supplements. The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet is also important, and reducing omega-6 intake from processed foods can be beneficial. The ratio between EPA and arachidonic acid is important for balancing pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. Supplementing with Omega-3s can reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery time for athletes. The optimal dosage for athletes is around 5,000 milligrams of Omega-3s per day. Choosing a reputable brand of Omega-3 supplements is important due to variations in quality and composition.

Support The Show at: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 Alright... Today's guest is a regular on the show. He's one of the worlds leading sports physiologists and coaches. Normally we are either discussing his work on Heart Rate Variability, Heat acclimatisation. Low-carb fueling, or his athletes winning major events including Olympic Gold medals, the Americas Cup or Kona Ironman World Title. And Sure, we will touch on all the above. But the main reason I have this man on the show today is to celebrate his extraordinary performance at Ironman California, where he smashed the 8-hour mark with a jaw-dropping 7.56-hour - dominating the age-group competition. And wow, has he stirred up some conversations around the Triathlon world. On top of all of that he's the brain behind EndureIQ, where he turns science into actionable training plans, and let's be honest, the triathlon world perks up whenever he has something to say. He's one of my all time favorites I've had the pleasure of having on the show.

Occurring at roughly mile 22 on the bike course, a section where participants are cycling in both directions, the 70-year-old motorcycle driver carrying a cameraman, collided with a 26-year-old racer, according to an AP news report. “The race participant and the photographer received onsite care, before being transported to a nearby hospital where they continue to receive treatment,” said a statement from Ironman. The driver died on the scene. German broadcaster ARD ended its live broadcast of the event upon learning of the fatality, and racers were rerouted around the accident site while racing continued. A firsthand account We spoke to pro triathlete Kristian Hogenhaug, who was within meters of the crash, Australian pro Renee Kiley, who raced on the same course last year, triathlon statistician and Triathlete contributor Thorsten Radde, who was on-site working for German television, and veteran cameraman/motorcycle driver Paul Phillips, who ran Ironman's motorbike driving operations in North America up until last month. Emotions are still raw for Denmark's Hogenhaug, who was directly across the highway when the accident happened, with part of the debris punching a hole in his disc wheel. “I heard a huge crash and everything was in slow motion,” he explained. “I thought maybe a motorbike had punctured and then half-a-second later a tri bike flew in the air and landed almost in front of me, but I didn't see the persons involved.” The Team BMC rider was approaching the end of the out-and-back section on the first of two laps on the 112-mile bike route, when a motorbike collided head-on with an age-group cyclist heading in the opposite direction.

A star-studded entry in both the men and women's fields will compete at breathtaking elevation of close to 1,600m, with home favorite Sam Long amongst a number of athletes on the start line that will be hoping to do well at altitude. In our preview piece below, you can find all the information you need, including start times, streaming information and a full preview of the men and women's professional fields. Start time and how to watch live The race takes place on Saturday June 10 2023, starting from the Boulder Reservoir at 0705 (MDT) on Saturday morning for the men, with the women five minutes later. That corresponds to 1405 in the UK and 1505 CET. The race will be shown live, one of the 12 IRONMAN 70.3 events to be broadcast in 2023 on Outside TV. You will be able to watch for free via web, mobile or connected TV app. As always, the ever reliable IRONMAN Tracker is the perfect data addition to support your viewing. If you haven't got it on your phone already, where have you been?! Pro Men With 55 professional men on the start list, the men's field in Boulder not only boasts quality, but also a whole lot of quantity, with a massive American contingent racing on home soil in Colorado this weekend. Sam Long wins IRONMAN 70.3 St George 2023 photo credit Jacob Kupferman / Getty Images for IRONMAN [Photo credit: Jacob Kupferman / Getty Images for IRONMAN] Leading the list is Boulder native Sam Long, who having won this race in 2021 and winning his last two half distance events, seems to be the man to beat on Saturday. The American has raced well against strong domestic fields since splitting with short term coach Dr Dan Plews, beating long time rival Lionel Sanders and rising American star Trevor Foley, both of whom are competing in Boulder, at IRONMAN 70.3 St George and IRONMAN 70.3 Gulf Coast in recent weeks. Training partners Foley and Sanders will hope to turn the tide on Long in Boulder, but will face an uphill battle, as the PTO World #6 looks to be coming into some strong form, and will undoubtedly want to be on top form in what could be considered a “home” race. Elsewhere, Canadian Olympian Matthew Sharpe, the defending champion, will certainly be in contention for the podium, with American veteran Tim O'Donnell and young Mexican star Tomas Rodriguez also strong shouts for a top-3 finish. In truth, Long looks at the moment to be head and shoulders above the rest, with Sanders the most likely to challenge him if he can find the type of form that has eluded him for much of this season so far. The battle for the podium will be especially intense and the chances of the IRONMAN 70.3 World Champs slots rolling a long way down are high given the quality up front. Pro Women In the women's race, Britain's Holly Lawrence is the strong favourite, but will have a resurgent Jeanni Metzler to contend with, as both Boulder-based athletes look to take another step forward as they push for bigger goals later in the year. Lawrence has raced well so far this season, with fourth in Oceanside and a top-10 in Ibiza, but is yet to have things really click for her on race day. Boulder could be the perfect opportunity to hone her race day skills and boost her confidence as she builds towards the PTO US Open in Milwaukee in August. Metzler, on the other hand, has had a little more success this season, with a win in St George and a podium in Chattanooga, but hasn't been able to face off against a top-10 calibre athlete aside from a dominant Paula Findlay in Tennessee, and will likely relish the chance to do so against Lawrence in Colorado. Lauren Brandon leads the Americans on world ranking in Boulder, but all eyes are likely to be on Taylor Knibb, who after a significant period of time out with injury, will race her first half distance race since winning the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship title last October. Ironman 70.3 Boulder Recent Winners 2022 – Matthew Sharpe and Rachel McBride. 2021 – Sam Long and Emma Pallant-Browne. 2019 – Chris Leiferman and Skye Moench. 2018 – Callum Millward and Ellie Salthouse. 2017 – Tim Don and Jeanni Seymour.

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show" In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg is joined by Leighton Phillips - founder of the world-leading, Low-Carb, High Fat nutrition company that supports endurance performance, SFuels. Leighton comes from a long history of healthcare professionals in his family, and he himself studied naturopathic medicine and computer science, and he has an entrepreneurial mindset. While training for Triathlon and Ultra endurance events, he found that the market for fueling drinks and bars was full of sugar, syrup, and refined grains. With his nutrition training and ultra-endurance racing experience - he knew he could create something better. So after many years of product development, SFuels was born. SFuels was developed with sports physiologist and world-renowned coach Dr. Dan Plews, Ultramarathon world record holder Zach Bitter, Olympic Triathlon medalist Hayden Wilde and many other world class endurance experts. Timestamps 2:33 - Greg and Leighton rewind the clock and Leighton explains his early interests and achievements in sport and then onto sport science. Avoid Bonking - Finish Stronger - Reduce Gut Stress 10:00 - After finding a love for sport as a young man, Leighton combined his love for nutrition & natural medicine, his tech skills and knowledge, and mixed it with his entreprenurial mindset to develop his first business in Hong Kong. He tested his first prototype products on himself in 2016 with the aim for helping with inflammation (rather than low-carb) 13:35 - Sports Scientist & IRONMAN® Kona Age Group Record Holder & World Class Coach Dr. Dan Plews got involved with Leighton and they went through 17 iterations of their first nutrition training sports nutrition bar. ... the market for training drinks and bars was full of sugar, syrup and refined grains 21:56 - Greg & Leighton discuss some of the highs and lows Leighton has had in the process of starting and building SFuels. The joy is in the journey ... 25:09 - Leighton is an Ultra-Marathon runner and discusses the various races he has competed in and the challenges of each race. It's one thing for a product to feel good taste good while youre sitting on a couch ... but when youre 6 hours into a ride run, how that thing tastes and it's texture can be quite different, so testing product in those duress situations has been an added bonus for Leighton and his scientific team. Don't forget to check out Any Question and ask Greg Bennett any question you want 28:30 - Leighton explains how they came up with the company name SFuels. 33:29 - When Zach Bitter decided to set the record for a sub 7 minute/mile over 100 miles during COVID lockdowns, Leighton saw it as an opportunity to run the event on social media and get the SFuels name out to the world. 30,000 people watched Zach live running on treadmill. 37:46 - Leighton describes how they were measuring and what improvements they saw in pro athletes and their Fat & Carbohydrate oxidation. The improvements saw athletes improve from 165 watts on the bike ... to 300 watts on the bike. Fat Oxidation x3 improvement - Power x2 improvement 41:22 - Leighton explains the meaning behind the SFuels slogan - Right Fuel - Right Time 45:01 - Not a high performance athlete?

Coach Debbie shares a new research on fat oxidation rates for low carb endurance athletes in an article shared by Leighton Phillips from SFuels and more blogs from Dr. Dan Plews of EndureIQ program. Click here to head to SFuels for their updated Fueling Guide https://www.endureiq.com/blog/peak-fat-oxidation-rates-what-does-it-mean-what-does-it-tell-you https://www.endureiq.com/blog/right-fuel-right-time-carbohydrate-manipulation-to-make-every-session-count 2023 Research Paper - Findings In a new paper (Feb, 2023), a group of highly reputable sports-science researchers, challenged the former premise, that athletic performance was superior via a high-carbohydrate diet and fueling regime. What was most striking at first glance of the paper, was that the question of 'endurance performance' was tested at a very high intensity (@~85% vo2Max), shorter duration tests including 1mile, and 6 by 800m interval repeats. Traditional thought would consider such intensity-duration testing, as 'anaerobic' and by nature more dependent on carbohydrate oxidation, and less-so fat oxidation. But in a rigorous highly controlled testing protocol, and elegant research design, the team produced a set of findings that will certainly challenge traditional thinking. Bottom-line: ensure you pay attention to the guidance (above 3 points in blue) for an effective low-carb high-fat diet transition period - in realizing the intended metabolic shift, and performance outcomes of a low-carb lifestyle. In this study, a 2018 paper on cross-country skiers and our own lab observations of low-carb high-fat athletes, we are seeing more consistent references to high-fat oxidation rates (>1.5gr/min) at high intensities >80% Vo2Max. This is supportive of the suggestion, that such metabolic efficiency, could possibly provide a glycogen-sparing effect when fat can be utilized predominately for fuel at these intensities. It is an important note, that aside from the athletic performance outcomes, a number of health markers were also tested, and reference was made to the complications (pre-diabetes) that were associated with high-carb diet athletes. I guess from a balanced perspective, you would like to see more subjects in such a study, and also would like to have the study repeated for women. Nevertheless, the paper highlighted that prior studies that had less attention to study design controls (diet, fueling and training-load factors) drove different and non-repeatable findings. Study summarized 4 notable findings: 1) High-Carb athletes had no superior (high-intensity) performance over LCHF (low-carb high-fat) athletes, 2) Even at intensities at >85% Vo2Max, LCHF athletes were oxidizing fat at rates of 1.58gr/min (+/- 0.33gr/min). 3) LCHF athletes had higher HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol, 4) LCHF athletes, had reduced mean-median blood glucose levels. Conversely, 30% of the High-Carb athletes, had mean-median blood-glucose levels consistent with pre-diabetes. SFuels: Perspective on the Research It's great to see such a well-controlled set of factors (diet, training load, body composition, etc.) and high-intensity testing protocol, where the core, pre-dominant factor of difference was diet and fuelling.

By Andy Schmidt Video of the Week - 2023 WTCS Abu Dhabi: Women's Highlights Endurance News: TAYLOR SPIVEY EARNS BRONZE MEDAL IN 2023 WTCS SEASON OPENER IN ABU DHABI Crossing the line in 58:27, the third-place finish granted Spivey her first WTCS podium since 2021 and fifth-career WTCS medal. ABU DHABI, UAE — Showcasing an impressive start of the season, U.S. Elite Triathlon National Team member Taylor Spivey (Redondo Beach, Calif.) earned the bronze medal in the opening race of the circuit at the 2023 World Triathlon Championship Series Abu Dhabi on Friday, March 3. Crossing the line in 58 minutes and 27 seconds, the third-place finish granted Spivey her first WTCS podium since 2021 and fifth-career WTCS medal. The top-three finish also offered sweet redemption for Spivey, after she just barely missed the podium last season with three fourth-place finishes and ultimately a fourth-place overall Series ranking. “To earn the bronze medal — pleased is an understatement. At one point in the race I was in fourth place and I thought ‘I can't let this happen again!' I am not the most confident athlete and racing is a way to build my confidence. And at the end of the day, I just executed every step of the race pretty perfectly and I finally came away with a step above fourth place, I am happy with it,” Spivey said of her result. Abu Dhabi opened the season as the first of seven total stops on the 2023 WTCS calendar, with athletes returning to the same host city that crowned the World Champions last November. Placing fifth in Abu Dhabi last fall, Spivey improved her position to third on a sprint-distance course (750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5k run). She finished just 31 seconds behind the victor, Beth Potter of Great Britain, who won in a time of 57:56, followed by British compatriot Sophie Coldwell with the silver (58:14). U.S. Elite Summer Rappaport (Thornton, Colo.) also had a standout season-starting result, placing fourth. After a dominating swim where was third out of the water, she crossed the finish line just 8 seconds behind Spivey to claim the fourth-place position with a time of 58:35. Fellow U.S. Elites, Kirsten Kasper (North Andover, Mass.) finished 25th with a time of 59:28, while Katie Zaferes (Cary, N.C.) clocked a time of 1:00:21 to finish 37th overall. This marked her first competition back to racing since 2021 and seven months after giving birth to her son last summer. Gina Sereno (Madison. Wis.), fresh off her win last week at the Arena Games Triathlon Series in Montreal, made her second-ever WTCS appearance, finishing 41st. On the men's side, Matt McElroy (Huntington Beach, Calif.) finished strong for the U.S. men, earning eighth place with a time of 53:19, his best WTCS result since 2019. 2023 World Triathlon Championship Series Abu Dhabi 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5K run Elite Women's Podium - Complete Results 1.

The race will also contribute towards the Challenge Family World Bonus and results will count towards qualification for the Challenge Family The Championship. Below are details on the start times of the races, information on how to watch, and a preview of the elite men and women that are looking to kick their season off in style in the Sunshine State. We should stress though that the start lists are very much subject to change, with a number of big names – such as Vincent Luis, Joe Skipper and Jackie Hering – initially announced but now not taking part. And there looks to be bad news on the coverage front this year, with no live pictures but instead a post-race production… POPULAR STORIES RIGHT NOW IRONMAN New Zealand 2023 results: Phillips and Visser take titles Alistair Brownlee setback as he rules himself out of IRONMAN South Africa IRONMAN explain reasons for Justine Mathieux DQ in South Africa Start time and how to follow The elite race at CLASH Endurance Miami takes place on Friday March 10th, 2023. The start times are as follows: Elite Women – 0830 local time / 1330 UK / 1430 CET Elite Men – 1200 local time / 1700 UK / 1800 CET Past editions of the event have been streamed live – and for free – on the CLASH Endurance Facebook and YouTube channels. But this week the following message was posted about current plans: “If you know CLASH Endurance, you know we're always trying new things. There will be no live coverage, however a post-race show will be released after the event.” So if you haven't got it already, then adding the CLASH Endurance app to your phone / mobile device is recommended for racing splits and results. It's pretty much identical to the layout and structure of the IRONMAN app – which given that has proven itself over many years, is a good thing. Event history and course In 2021 the event was held under the ‘Challenge Miami' banner, prior the rebranding of the Challenge Family North American events to ‘CLASH'. In 2022, CLASH provided some of the most thrilling races on American soil, in both Miami and Daytona. Homestead Miami / Challenge Miami In Miami, the race venue is the Homestead Miami Speedway, a self-enclosed motor racing circuit event. As with the Daytona International Speedway, a very convenient lake sits nicely within the centre of the circuit, primed and ready for swimmers. Unlike the racing at Daytona however, CLASH Miami utilises the roads within the racing oval, and so is far more technical than the pure straight-line speed efforts that are the focus there. The event will be raced over the following distances: Swim: 1.7km / 1.05-mile (2 laps) Bike: 62.7km / 39-miles (17 laps of 2.2 miles + one part lap to start) Run: 16.9km / 10.5 miles (7 laps of 1.5 miles) Pro Women Last year, Ashleigh Gentle dominated, with the Australian winning by almost eight minutes in a performance that really set the tone for what was in store throughout the rest of the season for the PTO World #1. This year, however, looks set to be a much more competitive race, with the absence of the defending champion from the start list really opening up the competition to a whole host of contenders. Last season's runner up, Brazil's Pamela Oliveira, is an athlete who knows what it takes to get on the podium in Miami, but will face stiff competition if she has any hopes of going one better than last season. The 35-year-old, who won IRONMAN Brasil as well as Challenge Brazil in 2022, will rely heavily on her endurance in Miami, and will have to hope her strong swim-bike combination will be enough to keep her away from some of the lightning quick runners in the field. Sara Perez Sala (ESP) and Haley Chura (USA) are also likely to be to the fore from the outset. Perez Sala, who won the Challenge Championship in 2022, before also finishing second at CLASH Daytona behind Angelica Olmo, will be hoping to build an insurmountable lead over the swim and the bike this Friday, with athletes such as Chura and Sif Bendix Madsen (DEN) the likely candidates to contribute to an early break. Sara Perez Sala The Championship 2022 Sara Perez Sala – Photo Credit: Jose Luis Hourcade Last year, Sala crashed out of CLASH Miami, so will be hoping that her return this time round will not be brought to such an abrupt end. If her winter training has gone well, expect to see her at the front from the gun and pushing hard for the win throughout the closing stages. Lastly, Lucy Byram will be flying the flag for the UK, as the 23-year-old Brit looks to build on a 2022 that featured Challenge Wales and IRONMAN 70.3 Jesolo wins, plus runner up spots at IRONMAN 70.3 Vichy and Challenge Riccione, with a strong performance Stateside. Pro Men In the men's field, defending champion Sam Long will look to take down some big names from both the ITU scene and the long course world as he races for the first time under the guidance of new coach Dr Dan Plews. Sam Long (Photo credit: CLASH Endurance Miami) Sam Long (Photo credit: CLASH Endurance Miami) More stardust was sprinkled on the event at the start of this week when Canada's Lionel Sanders announced he was a surprise addition to the field. ‘No Limits' impressed pretty much everyone at the super-sprint distance of Arena Games Montreal recently, was second on his previous appearance here in 2021 behind Jan Frodeno) and will be locking horns with Long again after their epic battle at the Collins Cup last season. Jason West (USA), runner-up here last year, will look to challenge Long as will Tom Bishop (GBR), who was an excellent fourth at CLASH Daytona late last year. Joe Skipper had been scheduled to take part but the only British man to have outperformed him in Kona, David McNamee, will look to rediscover the form that saw him take back-to-back IMWC podiums in 2018 and 2019. In addition to McNamee and Bishop is fellow Brit Kieran Lindars, who won the European Long Distance Championships at Challenge Almere and finished a respectable 11th at CLASH Daytona. Finally, internationals Matthew Sharpe (CAN) and Samuel Appleton (AUS), who have both finished sixth at CLASH events in Florida in the past, could be the only athletes with the swim ability to match Luis, setting up a potential scenario where the Frenchman has some real bike power to work alongside out on the speedway. Prize Money: What's on the line? Athletes will be racing for a total prize purse of $50,000, payable eight deep as follows: 1st – $7,500 2nd – $5,000 3rd – $3,750 4th – $3,000 5th – $2,000 6th – $1,500 7th – $1,250 8th – $1,000 https://www.youtube.com/@CLASHENDURANCE/streams https://www.youtube.com/@CLASHENDURANCE/streams What's New in the 303: What is Mips® and Why You Should Care? By: A.V. Schmit 303 Endurance | Interior of Mips bike helmet Interior of a bike helmet with Mips® Technology. Photo: Courtesy of Mips. If you've been helmet shopping in the last few years, you have no doubt seen the little yellow circle that says, “Mips” on some of the helmets and boxes. What is Mips® and why should you care? MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) was developed in Sweden, Stockholm to be exact, by a neurosurgeon and an engineer. The technology represents the intersection of academic research and industrial engineering. The research, begun in 1995, was led by Hans von Holst of the Karolinska Institute, a practicing neurosurgeon, and Peter Halldin, an engineer with a background in aeronautics. Von Holst had witnessed the devastating aftermath of numerous Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) while performing brain surgeries on his patients. This inspired him to begin looking for ways to ameliorate these types of injuries. By examining the design of commercially available helmets, he was soon convinced that the currently crop of helmets were not providing sufficient protection against brain injuries. Especially those involving rotational forces or secondary impacts after an initial impact. He then contacted the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) about initiating a research project focused on the prevention of head and neck injuries. That's when he was introduced to Halldin who was at the time a student at the institute. Halldin then commenced a PhD program studying biomechanics in order to investigate the problem and work on engineering a solution. Together they identified the way the dura membrane was critical to the brain's ability to slide within the skull in order to prevent concussions. They hypothesized, if a low-friction area could be created between the head and the helmet, rotational force, especially from an oblique (or angular) impact like that of a cyclist falling off a bicycle, could be reduced. They enlisted the help of Nigel Mills, who had access to the types of testing equipment they would need to prove their theory was correct. During the same time period, Svein Kleiven also a PhD student at the institute, had begun work on developing an FE (Finite Element) model of the human brain. It has since been recognized as the highest fidelity computer / mathematical model of the human brain ever created. This model proved to be a key research / simulation tool for Mips®, as it made it possible to visualize and measure the effects of Mips® safety system in a variety of collisions. Human cadavers and, in some cases, living subjects would have been used for this type of analysis, but because of ethical reasons, availability and variability in experimental results, the FE computer model is infinitely preferable. Researchers and product testers can run an infinite number of simulated crash experiments without cracking any skulls. Now I know what you are thinking, “What about all those out-of-work crash test dummies?” Fret not, the FE model Kleiven developed is only for the brain, it will be some time before a complete FE model of the whole human body will be available. And Mips® and the bike helmet manufacturers still use synthetic human heads in testing. The results of their research, a 50% reduction in rotational forces as a result of a crash. This led them to publish their results in 2001 and apply for a patent in 2002 which was granted in 2003. This led to the formation of Mipscorp, the company responsible for bringing Mips® technology to market through its brand partners. Mips has become bicycle industry's defacto answer to mitigating rotational forces on the brain in the event of a crash. When a cyclist falls, their head often impacts a solid surface at an angle. This angular impact creates a rotation in the brain, which has been proven to have significant potential to cause concussions and TBI's. Scott Sports was the first helmet manufacturer to integrate Mips® into their ARX helmet design, with other manufactures soon to follow. Now, Giro, Bell, Scott, POC and other bicycle industry leaders have integrated Mips® into their helmet designs. As of 2016, more than 28 helmet manufacturers had integrated Mips® into their product lines, with a corresponding number of 1.7 million units featuring the revolutionary technology. Well, there you have it… If a Mips® technology helmet can offer as much as a 50 percent reduction in rotational forces on your brain in a crash. Maybe we should all care what kind of helmet we wear.

Eight days ago Chelsea took the world by storm. She was 'under the radar', but as the race progressed Chelsea started to come to the forefront. And by the time the marathon started her name started rising to the top. But no one wins on debut, right? Wrong! On her 2nd ever Ironman, she came to Kona and demonstrated a performance with no weaknesses and showed weapons across the board, especially her run. To win in a time of 8.33 (2nd fastest of all time) and a 2.51 marathon off a 4.42 bike and 54 min swim, is incredible. Add to this the fact she gave birth to her daughter 18 months ago and it makes this story even more remarkable. She's one of our favorite experts on the AnyQuestion app and in her short career, Chelsea Sodaro has quickly ascended to the top of levels of elite triathlon. Chelsea Sodaro grew up in Davis, California — Bike City, USA. She swam, biked, danced, and played competitive soccer as a young kid. In high school, Chelsea discovered an affinity for running and began competing in cross country and track. After a successful high school track campaign, she was recruited by several top Division 1 programs and decided to take her talents to UC Berkeley. During her senior year she became a Four Time All-American. She was the captain of the cross country team and helped lead the Golden Bears to their first appearance at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in thirty years. In only her 4th 70.3, Chelsea placed 4th and as the top American at the 2019 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Nice, France and is considered one of the biggest up-and-comers in the sport.

Skye was born in March of 2021. Chelsea opens up and discusses her tough journey through the pregnancy and return to training. I wasn't handing the training that well 26:08 - Chelsea came second in her debut Ironman in Hamburg and she explains how that helped pave her confidence pathway into Kona. After a swim session with Paul Newsome, Chelsea made some changes to her technique and was able to apply it to her swim in Hamburg. She breaks down the race and how she was measuring her times throughout the race. 30:35 - It was after Hamburg that Dan and Chelsea realised she had something special going on. However the up's and downs post childbirth were well and truly still challenging. Chelsea explains how she was questioning herself, but was pulled back into focus on Kona. I was a hot disaster 34:32 - After Hamburg, and after the Collins Club Chelsea got sick and was hitting a low point. She discusses how she was feeling prior to her committment to get to a training camp in Hawaii. "The only reason I got on the plane was because Steve told me if my training didn't come around, I could at least have a Hawaiian vacation on my own." 37:46 - Steve (Chelsea's husband) is a firefighter in Reno, so they have a challenging rhythm of life between Chelsea's pro career and Steve's career.

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show" In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg has a delightful conversation with Javier Gómez-Noya. These last ten months have been a little rocky but overcoming adversity is what makes this man such a legend. He was fortunate to even have a career, to begin with. Just after he started the sport of Triathlon the High Council for Sports in Spain revealed a cardiac anomaly. That finding led to a six-year battle between him and the sporting administrators in Spain to allow him to race internationally. Since winning that battle, he has raised the standards of the sport for his entire career. Just as impressively, he's also been able to reinvent himself whenever new pretenders have looked set to take his mantle. He's a man who has won more Triathlons than anyone else in the history of the sport. A career that has spanned almost two decades with 10 world titles over various distances and formats, including 5 ITU World Championships titles, 2 Ironman 70.3 World Titles, an ITU Long course world title, and an Xterra Off-road world title. Add to that a silver medal at the Olympics. But he's far more than a champion athlete, he's one of the best men I know. We've lived and shared some epic training sessions together, and battled on the racecourse numerous times. And I'm honored to call him a friend.
