Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow Allen Hall: Jon, welcome back to the program.  Jon Zalar: Thanks for having me.  Allen Hall: Uh, last time I saw you, we were in Melbourne- Yep … at WOMA 2026, and that was a huge event. We know we’re gonna do it again next year in March three, the 3rd through the 5th, so you’re invited back, of course- I can’t wait … if you can make it. Yeah. Yeah. It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be a good time. A lot is happening in the blade world and in the wind turbine world more broadly. A lot of things we’re hearing right now are related to blade bolt connection, pitch bearing inserts still. A lot of that still happening in the United States. What is the current status of, uh, the blade connection issues in the US? I,  Jon Zalar: I feel like it’s a growing [00:01:00] issue, not super, super fast, but it seems to be getting a little worse. There’s, you know, more bolts breaking at that joint. Um, pitch bearing cracks are, seem to be pretty common. There’s different solutions for it, and then, you know, the root inserts are another thing that we’ve talked about before that seem to be happening more and more, or maybe more and more people are finding them ’cause they’re looking. Allen Hall: What are the first indications that you have a blade bolt or some sort of joint issue at the root of a blade? What can you see?  Jon Zalar: A bolt laying in the hub bouncing around. Um, you know, from like a– looking at it from, like, the sensors on the turbine, it’s really hard to tell unless it gets really bad. Uh, some of the OEMs have some analytics developed to kinda start to indicate if there is a aero change because there’s missing bolts or root inserts are coming out, and they’re using that as a way to go figure out which ones to go inspect first. Allen Hall: Really? Yeah. You think [00:02:00] the SCADA data will give you some indication that you have a, basically a little bit of a loose blade?  Jon Zalar: Yeah. I, I, I think because the number of turbines and the number of data points you have, I think there is a pretty good analytic out there right now.  Allen Hall: Wow. All right. I think a lot of our operators have not taken advantage of that. Is, is that just b- based on the high-speed data, SCADA data, or is it low-speed data you could see that same effect?  Jon Zalar: I believe it’s on the low-speed data as well, but I bet the high-speed data was used to kinda develop it.  Allen Hall: Wow. All right. So that’s a huge help to operators. Yeah. So what are you looking for if you’re looking through SCADA data, what would be the couple of markers there that say, “Hey, maybe we ought to go look up at the– in the hub”? Jon Zalar: I don’t know exactly what they’re using, but they would basically look for maybe an imbalance or looking for certain components that are being overworked.  Allen Hall: Oh, sure. Okay.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: So your pitch actuator may be getting a little bit overworked. It would seem like one of the places- I think that, yeah … that would get loaded, right? Jon Zalar: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: Okay. [00:03:00] And any vibration monitoring going on? Because it, it, uh, in some cases you’re– I’m hearing, like, millimeter gaps-  Jon Zalar: Correct. Yeah …  Allen Hall: between the blade and the pitch bearing.  Jon Zalar: So probably a combination of the ALC sensors, at least on a GE turbine, looking at that. But the PCH box also is looking at the tower vibration, so it could be a combination of all three. I don’t know the exact- Okay … details, but between all of that, I think there are some analytics that kinda say, “Hey, go take a look.” And then I think there’s some other companies that have- tools that go monitor it.  Allen Hall: Mm-hmm.  Jon Zalar: Dial indicators remotely or even, you know, people going up there with dial indicators to go kind of rotate the rotor and kind of see if there is gapping between the blade and the pitch bearing. Allen Hall: Is that a safe situation in your– from the gapping? I’ve heard this where they’ve basically took shims and they’re trying to measure this gap or some sort of dial indication. Is that a smart thing to do? Is it even reliable to do it that way? [00:04:00] Jon Zalar: I, I, I think there’s some reliability there. And like, you know, these are really big parts, right? So like a little bit of gap, it, it’s probably expected to a point, but growing gaps is where you should be a little more scared.  Allen Hall: So you’re– you would have to go do that quarterly, monthly, weekly? How, how often would you have to do it to see the progression? Because I’ve heard stories of, uh, a couple of weeks from nothing to hub crack to, “Oh, it took a year or more.” Jon Zalar: I think it depends on the issue. I think for– if you’re looking at that, the bolted joint itself between the root inserts and the, uh, bolts breaking itself, I, I think they’re doing about quarterly. Now, the pitch bearings inspections are also quarterly. They’re al- they’re, they’re leveraging the drone inspections for the blades, and they’re looking at the pitch bearings to see if they’re cracked, right? Uh, you guys are doing that too.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: I think Coraly is doing a good job mitigating the risk, feels like.  Allen Hall: Wow. All right. [00:05:00] Yolanda, looking at pitch bearings, you’ve looked at a lot of drone images in your lifetime. Mm-hmm. How much can you see on drone images on pitch bearings? Can you see cracks and, or y- or do you see grease, which is a really indication that something is wrong in the bearing? Yolanda Padron: You can see grease. You can see the cracks pretty, pretty well. Yeah. The drone images are, are really high quality. Uh, but you did mention that it’s something that you’re seeing a lot more. Is it because there’s a lot more aging fleets, or is it a problem with a lot of the new turbines that are coming online? Jon Zalar: I, I think it’s an, I think it’s a more of a fatigue problem, so the aging of the fleet. And also, I think more people are looking at it, right? ‘Cause, like, initially the drones that were looking for blade cracks weren’t looking at pitch bearings, but then pitch bearings started cracking, so now they added that to whatever they buy off the drone companies, right? Go look at my pitch bearings, for example.  Allen Hall: Hmm.  Jon Zalar: So I, I think it’s a problem of the more you look sometimes, the more you find.  Yolanda Padron: Hmm.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: So we [00:06:00] have root insert issues, which are being addressed by a couple of different companies- Yes … uh, uh, with somewhat similar solutions. OEM is offering one right now also. Jon Zalar: I, I think there’s three solutions. There’s two uptower that are basically looking at ways to go fill the void between the root insert itself and the blade root. Um, and I– there’s another company that’s also more of a downtower solution where they’re actually, like, r- drilling out the root inserts and putting new ones in that are gonna last better, longer. Allen Hall: Okay. So the drilling out is, would be CNC onsite. Correct.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: And they’re based over in Europe. But th- the drilling out is a take the blade down, set it on the ground sort of- Yeah. Right … doing really fine machining on the, on the blade itself. So that, that’s a different, completely different insert that’s going into that-  Jon Zalar: Correct Allen Hall: new hole or- Yep … clean hole, right? So it’s a, just a, uh, totally different kind of product versus trying to inject [00:07:00] some s- sort of epoxy or resin into the, the void.  Jon Zalar: Right. Yeah. Uh, I mean, you would prefer to do it uptower. It’s gonna cost you less money.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Jon Zalar: But you wanna make sure you do it right, so I think, uh, I do foresee it being a combination of both solutions kinda going forward. Allen Hall: Is it dependent upon, like, how much damage has been already done, or what the fatigue w- uh, an estimate on what the fatigue life is?  Jon Zalar: I think it’s strictly on measurement perspective right now. So how much gapping you have, um, kinda determines what potential solutions you have.  Allen Hall: So the gaps aren’t big, right? So the, the gaps I hear are one millimeter is k- kind of sort of start a problem.  Jon Zalar: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: Three millimeters is, “I need to be making decisions.”  Jon Zalar: Yeah. So- That, that’s what I’ve heard, too. Yes.  Allen Hall: Three millimeters is about a eighth of an inch.  Jon Zalar: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: So it’s not a lot of m-  Jon Zalar: But you can see sunlight through it if you’re s- down there. Allen Hall: Okay. That’s not… Well, you should see. That’s not  Jon Zalar: good either. Yeah.  Allen Hall: Right. Okay. So in a, in a three millimeter situation then, you’re doing what? [00:08:00] Jon Zalar: You’re trying to decide if the uptower solutions are something you wanna go try, ’cause they’re still in the trial mode from my understanding or-  Allen Hall: Okay …  Jon Zalar: people are learning a lot. So I think when you get to that point, you’re calling some of those companies to say, “Hey, I have this issue. I got a couple blades with, you know, .3. Can you guy- you guys wanna come take a look at it, see if your solutions, if you guys wanna go use it or not?” And then I think the ones that get too bad, from my understanding right now, is they’re, they’re replacing the blades. Allen Hall: So they’re taking the whole blade down.  Jon Zalar: Yes.  Allen Hall: And what’s the thought process in that? Uh, versus drilling out the inserts and putting new inserts in. Is there just a composite degradation that’s happened around those joints that it just puts it at risk or, or you have actually aged the blade much faster than you would otherwise have done? Jon Zalar: I, I think they aged that particular connection too much. So I, I- Wow … either between the [00:09:00] fatigue or lack of epoxy resin, w- whatever the actual root cause is for that root insert coming out, when it gets that bad, it’s like you’re not gonna be able to inject enough To make it adhere  Allen Hall: You can’t de-age it. Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Right?  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Bring back the youthfulness of the blade. Wow. All right. And we have seen this worldwide. I know in the, in the States you hear about it all the time, but it, this seems to be not a US- Correct … problem.  Jon Zalar: It’s a worldwide problem, yes.  Allen Hall: Okay. So if, if it’s a worldwide problem, are there more solutions on the way? I know you talked about three of them already.  Jon Zalar: I have not heard of any other ones except those three as of today.  Allen Hall: Wow.  Jon Zalar: There could be other people working on it. I think there should be.  Allen Hall: So, yeah. You would think so, yeah. So we’ll, I guess we’ll eventually hear about it on the podcast. Usually people with technology will contact us. They might call,  Jon Zalar: yeah. They might call you, they might call you tomorrow.  Allen Hall: Sure, they may. So that leads to sort of a subsequent issue, which I think is getting grouped together. So the [00:10:00] hub crack, pitch bearing crack, root insert pullout issue is also discussed with blade bolts being broken.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Are they related or are they separate engineering problems? Jon Zalar: If you look at them individually, you’d probably come up with some separate answers, but if you combine them all together, you kind of start looking at is there too much loading happening in the leading and trailing edge of the blade? ‘Cause the hub cracks, the root inserts, and the blade bolts, from my understanding, are happening at those two highly loaded areas of the, the blade or that whole rotor connection. So I mean, I do feel the root cause is probably a little higher loads than anticipated.  Allen Hall: I think everybody’s talked about when they’ve done the injection method and the drilling method, all they’re discussing is leading edge, trailing edge.  Jon Zalar: Yes.  Allen Hall: And how– It’s a question of how many- Correct … are you gonna replace. So th- [00:11:00] that’s, those are the two highly loaded spots on the bolted connection.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: And that’s where blade bolts are also breaking or, or the bolts breaking elsewhere around the periphery?  Jon Zalar: I don’t have all the data, but what I had seen, it’s very similar areas.  Allen Hall: So if you don’t pull the insert out, you’re then loading the bolt. Cr- Right It’s one or the other, right? Right. Yeah. So the, the, the load path is the load path, so it’s coming through the insert into the bolt. Bolt’s carrying it into the pitch bearing. Pitch bearing’s carrying it into the hub.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Hub carrying it downtower. So eventually, one of those, uh, links in the chain is- The weakest. Yeah … is, is the le- is the weakest. What is it about blade bolts that is so dangerous? We hear– we walk onsite to an O&M building, there are signs saying, you know, “Pay attention for loose bolts. Look around on the ground for loose bolts.” We’re gonna– and as electrical engineer, like, “Whoa.” Bolts should not be falling out of this tower. What i- what is that sort of sequence where a [00:12:00] bolt would escape from the nacelle?  Jon Zalar: So let’s just use one bolt. One bolt breaks, falls in the hub, bouncing around, doing some– potentially doing some damage inside the hub. And ’cause these turbines, you don’t need to go out there every day ’cause they do run pretty good, right? Right. You just do your regular maintenance. And if you don’t really know about that, ’cause, like, it bounces around for a while, then it usually gets, like, lodged behind a, uh, either center box or pitch cabinet or actually in the front sometimes. Kinda don’t know it happened. But, you know, frees itself up, keeps bouncing around, it, it could escape through the hatch covers ’cause, you know, people have to get into the hub anyway. And I’m sure a lot of people listening here that have sites, like, you know, probably found some bolts laying on the ground, which is a little scary.  Allen Hall: Right. So is, is the busting the hatch opening levers? I know there, there’s a couple different ways to get into that hatch. Yeah. But, uh, is it just completely busting the hatch? Yeah. So it’s– [00:13:00] okay. So you see a– so if you see a loose hatch panel, you have an issue. You probably gotta be careful about coming up on that turbine?  Jon Zalar: Potentially. A lot, a lot of hatches are, you know, not always maintained well.  Allen Hall: Right. I’ve seen them, I’ve seen loose ones, yeah.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Okay. So that, that would be a sign that– but though if, if you’re approaching a turbine, one look on the ground. And Yolando, you, you’ve seen a lot of turbines. So are you, are we looking on the ground and seeing what’s around the turbine before we approach the turbine now? Yeah. Just, just a sanity check?  Yolanda Padron: Yeah. Be aware also of what’s happening on site, right? Because if it’s some- if it’s a problem on site, you need to be extra careful when you’re approaching any turbine there. Uh, is it something that people maybe should start thinking about implementing, like, a sensors earlier on than when they’re seeing the issue actually happen?  Jon Zalar: Yeah. I, I, I think that’s a potential, ’cause it, the quicker you catch it, the less damage you’re gonna do, and it also reduce the risk of [00:14:00] it, um, falling out of the hub And I’ve worked with a couple of my, uh, customers for some, like, potential ways to detect it. Still kind of trialing it right now. But I, I do think there’s gonna be some benefit from a safety reduction, but also from a strictly a damage. ‘Cause, like, you get a couple bolts bouncing around there, and you bang up some cabinets or some pitch motors, that’s expensive and hard to go fix.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah, we were talking about it earlier too. Like, it goes down, it can hit a transformer, it can hit, like, a truck or someone.  Jon Zalar: Chance of it hitting someone. Yeah. I mean, I don’t care what hard hat you have on, it’s not gonna do anything.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah.  Allen Hall: So what kind of sensor should you be putting onto the turbine if you don’t have access to the SCADA data or you don’t know what the correct algorithm is to suss out there’s something wrong up there? But a, a bolt breaking is not gonna be something that a SCADA would even pick up, I don’t think. One bolt out of the whole- Yeah. No.  Jon Zalar: No way. Okay. I mean, there’s a– I think there’s, like, [00:15:00]one company looking at more of a, like, mechanical way to, like, prevent the bolt from coming out. I forgot the name of it. Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: Um, and then what I was looking at was more of a, like, you know, microphone type detection to kind of listen for that.  Allen Hall: It would make a lot of noise.  Jon Zalar: Yeah. It seems like it works. It, um, yeah, still more development needed on my end.  Allen Hall: So- The engineer in me was, is saying, “Why are we not putting strain gauges on bolts?” I picked on the leading and the trailing. It’s like right dead center there to look at, even if it’s just two strain gauge bolts to see what the loads are.  Jon Zalar: So like there are s- there are bolts that are, or that are made with the strain gauges built in that you can use to go, you know, monitor that. But you also need to understand like what was the design intent. So unless you’re working with the OEM, you don’t really know what you’re seeing is good or bad. You just say, “Oh-  Allen Hall: You just see a number.  Jon Zalar: Yeah. Right. I mean like, and if you install, I don’t know, four, you’d be like, “All right. Leading and trailing edge are higher [00:16:00] than the other two.” Well, yeah, it’s supposed to be, but like is a 10% difference expected or not expected? Allen Hall: Is that something where if you’re, especially if you’re in a full service agreement, and a lot of these turbines are- Yeah … for the first couple of years, if you were to do that, it’s something you would just say to the OEM, “Hey, this is, these are the loads we’re seeing from the strain gauges on these bolts. Does this make sense to you?” Or, or would an OEM just not even respond to that kind of inquiry?  Jon Zalar: I mean, I think it’s all about relationship with the OEM. I, I, I think  Allen Hall: it- I think they would wanna know.  Jon Zalar: I have a feeling they probably are looking.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: I mean, ’cause I mean they have the test turbines too that they probab- that, that I know they have instrumented heavily. Allen Hall: Yeah. So they, they’re probably getting at least some feedback. Th- that’s the problem. Yeah. And you worked on the other side, right? I have. So you worked for an OEM doing the RTAs. The first problem is you don’t have data, so now you gotta go get the data.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: And that data is not available tomorrow. No. ‘Cause you’re gonna have to go run some sort of design of experiment to go figure out if [00:17:00] there is even a true problem or even what the root causes could be.  Jon Zalar: And it, and it’s expensive to go instrument a blade and get the data back at the right speed and connected to the turbine data. I mean, I rem- I, I used to say it’s about like 300 to 500,000 to go put a couple gauges on a blade just with all the equipment you need to get the data correct. Allen Hall: To get the right data.  Jon Zalar: Get the right data at the right frequency connected to the controller. It’s, it’s very expensive.  Allen Hall: Wow. Okay. Yeah. I, I don’t, I don’t see a lot of operators doing that.  Jon Zalar: And especially connecting it to the operating data, right? So like if you go put a strain gauge and I don’t know, you’re curtailed, you’re only making, I don’t know, a megawatt- Doesn’t matter. And if you don’t know what the turbine’s doing and you’re looking at this, like, strain gauge data, it’s really hard to correlate anything.  Allen Hall: So you need a full suite of data. Yeah. That includes weather data- Yeah … at some level, right? Gust winds and- Oh,  Jon Zalar: yeah …  Allen Hall: average wind speed. You need the anemometer. You need which, which way [00:18:00] the n- cell’s pointing. Y- uh, you would need a lot of information- And what the controller’s- … to even suss it out …  Jon Zalar: and what the controller’s doing, right? Right. ‘Cause, like, every turbine, the controller’s trying to, like, you know, balance the rotor the whole time. It’s trying to, you know, micro pitch depending on what the winds are doing. And if you don’t know what all that stuff’s doing, like, it’s really hard to correlate a strain gauge measurement to is that bad or not.  Allen Hall: It’s a complicated problem.  Jon Zalar: Yes. That’s why RCAs take, you know, a long time, and they’re not done in two weeks.  Allen Hall: No, they’re done in a year.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Typically, or longer. So what should an operator be thinking about now? If, if we s- get our drone images back, we’re scanning through them like, “Oh, there’s a crack” What am I doing next besides calling you and connecting to your LinkedIn page?  Jon Zalar: So right now with the pitch bearing crack, um, some of the OEMs are providing stiffener plates to put over the crack and try to run it. Allen Hall: So that’s a doubler plate, basically. A double plate. Doubler  Jon Zalar: plate, yes. [00:19:00] Allen Hall: Yeah. Okay. So even in a, in a crack scenario, that pitch bearing, if given mechanical support, can run like that?  Jon Zalar: That’s my understanding, yes. That, that potentially could run for some period of time. I don’t know if it’ll make it 20 years or not, but it’ll buy you time for sure. Allen Hall: Does that involve a crane to do that work or is that just… My recollection, that was in pieces, like there, it’s not a ring, it’s a, a couple of pieces that you’d be able to bolt on without taking the-  Jon Zalar: No, it’s a- … blade down … it’s a, it’s a single piece that-  Allen Hall: It’s like a single casting kind of thing.  Jon Zalar: Right. And I, I think you need some like small crane, like a jig crane or one of those-  Allen Hall: Just to support the blade while you do it? Jon Zalar: And to go put it in, right. Okay. Yeah, I don’t think, you’re not taking the blade off. You’re not taking the  Allen Hall: blade down.  Jon Zalar: Correct. Yeah. It’s, it’s done with the blade up there.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: You’re putting new, putting longer studs in and putting the plate on.  Allen Hall: So first step is let’s get the joint reinforced. Right. That’s the easy first step.  Jon Zalar: Right. Although there has been some cases where since [00:20:00]you’ve put that stiffener plate on, the loads get spread out to the end of the plate, and then you- Sure … you could see cracks there.  Allen Hall: Okay. All right. So the loads- It, that- … have to go somewhere …  Jon Zalar: loads have to go somewhere. That’s, that is a bottom line. Allen Hall: All right. So you’re just changing where the load path is, so you have to be cognizant of that. Okay. Sure. Fine. But if you have, uh, especially in the United States, you don’t have 10 of these turbines, you have 50, 100- 100 … 200, 300 of these things, or thousands as it, as it turns out. Are there simple solutions that can be applied to, just to give me a sense, like that turbine’s having a problem, but the one next to it’s not, and, and just, just from a maintenance spin standpoint where I’m not just blanketing everything and trying to do everything to all these turbines at once, how do I, how do I manage this? Jon Zalar: I, I think it’s like being very observant. So like, you know, making sure you’re looking at the pitch bearings from the drone images, right? Um, also talking [00:21:00] to your maintenance people like, “Hey, are, are you finding a bunch of broken bolts? Like, what positions?” Like, you know, if I was back at the OEM, I would like to have as much data as possible on this issue. Like how many bolts are, when did you find them, what positions? A lot of times we, when I was there, like we would not get all that information, so it’s like really hard to run an RCA without that information.  Allen Hall: Sure. Yeah, where did this bolt break in the ring?  Jon Zalar: Right.  Allen Hall: Could tell you a lot. Is it just a b- bad lot of bolts, or is it something more load related? Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Wow. Okay.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah, I think that’s a really good point, too, to make sure that you’re connected with like every stage of the operations. ‘Cause I know that everybody’s obviously really, really busy on a wind farm, but it’s really common for like an engineer to have certain data and the site team to just be running around and having a lot of data, but maybe they don’t realize that, oh, it’s important to know how many bolts per tower are coming down. Jon Zalar: Correct. Yeah  Allen Hall: That’s a lot of work  Jon Zalar: It definitely-  Allen Hall: It’s a tremendous effort if you’re gonna [00:22:00] go after this problem and, and solve it RCS  Jon Zalar: are hard. They  Allen Hall: are. Yeah. All of it. Yeah. Machines are complicated today. There’s a lot of computer-driven s- things about them, and then you have these loading issues, and you have composite materials. Th- there’s just, y-  Jon Zalar: you got to get- It’s a very complex  Allen Hall: It’s a machine, right? Yeah. It’s a complex machine. So how do people reach out to… You’re, you’re the head of IWTG, which is based in South Carolina, but you do consulting worldwide. Yes. And, and you are a huge resource because you understand the complexities of these problems. How do people get ahold of you and, and get something started if they have a, a, a blade bolt issue or an insert issue or a cracked pitch bearing? Where do they start?  Jon Zalar: They can send me an email, jzalar@iwtgconsulting.com.  Allen Hall: Okay. And you have a great LinkedIn page, so you can connect with you on LinkedIn.  Jon Zalar: Yes. Yeah, I have one  Allen Hall: of those. Yes. Or you could just come to WOMA in [00:23:00]2027. Yeah. You can. You can meet John there and, and arrange everything there. So John, it’s great to see you, and thank you for coming up. We, uh, we’re recording this at the world headquarters of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and, uh, John just lives down the street in, in, in US terms. Yeah. So it’s, it’s great to have John come and visit us up here in North Carolina. So John, thank you so much for joining us.  Jon Zalar: Thanks for having me. Appreciate it.

Les batteries restent l'un des principaux points faibles des voitures électriques. Avec le temps, elles perdent en capacité, ce qui réduit leur autonomie et accélère leur remplacement. Or, plus elles s'usent vite, plus il faut recycler leurs composants et extraire de nouveaux métaux critiques, comme le nickel ou le cobalt.Pour améliorer leur longévité, les chercheurs travaillent généralement sur la chimie des électrodes ou de l'électrolyte, ce liquide qui permet aux ions lithium de circuler dans la batterie. Mais les gains obtenus dépassent rarement 5 à 10 %. Des ingénieurs de l'université de Cambridge, au Royaume-Uni, ont donc choisi une tout autre approche. Leurs travaux, publiés dans la revue *Nature Energy*, montrent qu'il serait possible de doubler la durée de vie d'une batterie lithium-ion sans modifier sa composition chimique.Pour comprendre, il faut imaginer qu'une batterie « respire ». Lorsqu'elle se charge ou se décharge, les ions lithium se déplacent entre l'anode et la cathode. Ces mouvements provoquent de légères dilatations et contractions des matériaux. À force de cycles, ces contraintes mécaniques finissent par dégrader les composants internes. Les chercheurs ont utilisé des batteries disponibles dans le commerce. Ils n'ont remplacé ni les électrodes ni l'électrolyte. Ils ont simplement ajouté de petits coussins d'air capables de se gonfler ou de se dégonfler pendant les cycles, afin de maintenir une pression constante sur la batterie. Les résultats indiquent qu'une pression bien réglée peut doubler sa longévité. Mais tout repose sur un équilibre précis. La zone idéale se situe autour de 12,5 bars, soit environ quatre fois la pression habituellement appliquée aux batteries bouton. Une pression trop forte favorise le dépôt de lithium sur l'anode. À l'inverse, une pression insuffisante peut entraîner des fissures dans la cathode.Ces travaux restent encore limités au laboratoire. Mais leurs conséquences potentielles sont importantes, notamment pour le marché des véhicules électriques d'occasion. Des batteries plus durables réduiraient les besoins de remplacement, le volume de déchets à recycler et la demande en matières premières. L'équipe de Cambridge a déjà déposé une demande de brevet. Son prochain défi consiste désormais à transformer cette idée mécanique, relativement simple, en une solution viable à l'échelle industrielle. Hébergé par Acast.

Dans cet épisode de Connecting Leaders, je reçois Fanny Le Gallou, ex-DRH en start-up/scale-up internationales, coach, et aujourd'hui “architecte CODIR”.Ensemble, on parle de la parentalité comme crash test de leadership et de culture d'entreprise, avec une double réalité et une double exigence que vivent les parents (et particulièrement les mères).Dans cet épisode, on parle notamment de :◾️ L'écart entre le “parent-friendly” affiché et la réalité terrain◾️ Pourquoi 95% du sujet dépend des dirigeant·e·s (valeurs, priorités, arbitrages)◾️ Des politiques qui font une vraie différence : mission parentalité, buddy de retour, accompagnement, emergency days sans justificationCet épisode s'adresse aux CEO, aux managers, aux RH, et à toute personne qui veut arrêter le parent-washing et construire des règles du jeu qui tiennent dans la vraie vie.Retrouve Fanny Le Gallou sur LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/fannylegallou/

Débloque ton prochain palier de croissance : https://andypoiron.com/Dans cette vidéo, je te montre pourquoi la rétention client peut devenir l'un des plus gros leviers de croissance de ton business.La plupart des coachs, préparateurs et thérapeutes cherchent toujours plus de prospects, plus de contenus, plus de rendez-vous, plus de ventes…Mais ils oublient une question essentielle :Comment faire rester mes clients plus longtemps ?Parce que si tes clients restent 3 mois, ton business est fragile.S'ils restent 6, 9 ou 12 mois, ton business change complètement.Dans cet épisode, on va voir comment :✅ Doubler ton CA sans doubler tes clients✅ Garder tes clients 2 fois plus longtemps✅ Réduire la pression de l'acquisition✅ Vendre une trajectoire, pas une séance✅ Créer une vraie expérience premium✅ Utiliser les événements pour fidéliser✅ Construire un business moins dépendant des nouveaux prospectsLe but n'est pas simplement de vendre plus.Le but, c'est de créer un accompagnement tellement clair, structuré et engageant que tes clients comprennent naturellement pourquoi ils doivent continuer avec toi.Parce qu'un bon business de coaching ne repose pas seulement sur ta capacité à vendre.Il repose aussi sur ta capacité à faire progresser tes clients dans le temps.Et c'est exactement ce qu'on va voir dans cette vidéo.

Au Maroc, l'hiver 2025-2026 a été l'un des plus pluvieux depuis 40 ans : jusqu'à 1 296 mm de pluies pour la région de Tanger. Et les précipitations n'ont pas cessé au printemps. Le taux de remplissage des barrages a quasiment doublé. Malgré quelques dégâts en raison des inondations, l'agriculture marocaine devrait largement profiter de cette pluviométrie extraordinaire. Ainsi, selon les prévisions du ministère de l'Agriculture, le Maroc pourrait plus que doubler sa production céréalière par rapport à l'année dernière. De notre envoyé spécial à Meknès, Depuis le mois de janvier, la campagne marocaine – au centre et au nord du pays – a changé de visage. Les photos satellitaires sont impressionnantes. Vu du ciel, le Maroc est passé d'une teinte ocre à un vert chatoyant. L'heure est plutôt à la fête au salon de l'agriculture. « La plupart des secteurs vont bénéficier de cette pluie abondante cette année. On a vécu six ans de sécheresse d'affilée qui étaient catastrophiques. Après, beaucoup d'eau ne veut pas dire meilleur rendement », décrit Réda Zniber, directeur général délégué des domaines Zniber, l'un des plus grands exploitants agricoles du pays. Certes, pour ses exploitations – d'huile d'olive notamment –, la récolte a été stoppée plusieurs semaines en raison de la boue, empêchant les tracteurs d'opérer dans les champs, ce qui pourrait affecter les arbres à long terme. Il a néanmoins doublé sa production. « Cette année nous avons fait à peu près 1 500 tonnes d'huile. L'année dernière, qui était, on va dire, très moyenne, nous avons fait la moitié. Donc, oui, la pluie a quand même été très bénéfique », se réjouit-il. Le groupe familial produit également des fruits à coques : pêches, nectarines, prunes… Cette fois victimes des épisodes de grêle, mais là encore, malgré tout, les prévisions sont bonnes. « Le bilan reste très positif malgré tout cette année. Maintenant, les répercussions de ce retard de récolte, c'est plutôt l'année prochaine que l'on verra les conséquences, en tout cas sur l'arboriculture et l'olivier », précise encore l'exploitant. À lire aussiMaroc: les agriculteurs applaudissent le retour de la pluie, malgré les inondations Des cultures vulnérables face au changement climatique Même satisfaction pour Damri Abdelali, exploitant agricole et vice-président de la Chambre d'agriculture région Fès-Meknès. Il salue notamment la reconstitution des nappes phréatiques. Il précise néanmoins que certains agriculteurs qui avaient opté pour des semences spéciales, censées résister à la sécheresse, ont, eux, été impactés négativement par ces pluies abondantes. « Des champs inondés avec trop d'eau n'ont pas pu résister. Mais aussi des variétés de semences qui ont été transformées génétiquement pour résister à la sécheresse et n'ont pas pu résister à l'eau », regrette Damri Abdelali. Au stand du pôle digital du ministère de l'Agriculture marocain, en revanche, le ton est plutôt à la prudence. Devant un graphique qui montre les taux de pluviométrie en berne ces 20 dernières années, le chercheur Rachid Hadria rappelle que l'agriculture marocaine va très probablement continuer à souffrir des conséquences du réchauffement climatique. « On voit qu'on a de plus en plus d'années sèches. Cette année, certes, c'est une très bonne année par rapport aux six dernières années, mais on ne peut pas dire que ça y est c'est gagné », conclut-il.

Frédéric a quitté son poste de dirigeant chez Glimps, une entreprise qu'il avait exportée au Canada, pour retrouver ses premières amours : la technique et la recherche. Il a rejoint l'AMIAD (Agence pour la maîtrise de l'IA de défense), rattachée au ministère des Armées français, créée en 2024. Un retour assumé, les « mains dans le cambouis », comme il le dit lui-même. Le fil conducteur de cet échange tourne autour d'une idée provocatrice : peut-on faire de l'intelligence artificielle sans données ? Frédéric avertit d'emblée que la formule est volontairement accrocheuse, et que la réponse sera nuancée. Une histoire de l'IA en quelques étapes clés Pour comprendre où l'on va, Frédéric propose un retour sur les grandes ruptures qui ont façonné l'IA depuis une quarantaine d'années. 1989 – Les débuts des réseaux convolutifs. Le réseau LeNet-5, conçu pour lire des chiffres manuscrits sur des chèques, représente l'un des premiers exemples concrets de réseaux de neurones convolutifs. Ces réseaux fonctionnent en empilant des couches d'analyse : les premières détectent des formes simples (points, lignes, angles), les suivantes des structures plus complexes (roues, rétroviseurs, puis une voiture entière). Ce paradigme a dominé le domaine pendant environ vingt ans. 2012 – La double révolution. Deux événements simultanés ont provoqué une explosion du domaine. D'une part, Nvidia a démocratisé l'utilisation des GPU pour le calcul scientifique via son API CUDA, rendant accessibles des calculs matriciels massivement parallèles. D'autre part, le jeu de données ImageNet a été publié en accès libre — un million d'images réparties en 1 000 catégories — offrant à la communauté une base commune pour entraîner et évaluer des modèles. Ces deux facteurs combinés ont déclenché une effervescence considérable, notamment dans le domaine de la vision par ordinateur. 2017 – L'avènement des transformers. La publication du célèbre article Attention is all you need introduit une nouvelle architecture qui va s'imposer comme le standard de l'IA moderne. Contrairement aux approches séquentielles précédentes, le transformer analyse chaque mot d'une phrase en le mettant en relation avec tous les mots qui le précèdent, enrichissant progressivement le sens de chaque élément couche après couche. Cette capacité à saisir le contexte global d'une séquence est à la base de tous les grands modèles de langage actuels. Son principal défaut : un coût de calcul quadratique par rapport à la longueur des séquences. Doubler la longueur d'un texte quadruple le volume de calcul. Les recherches de ces huit dernières années ont largement porté sur la résolution de ce problème, avec des résultats impressionnants — certains modèles open source atteignent aujourd'hui des fenêtres de contexte d'un à deux millions de tokens. Novembre 2022 – ChatGPT et la démocratisation. La sortie de ChatGPT marque moins une rupture technologique qu'une rupture d'usage. En mettant dans les mains du grand public ce qui n'existait que dans des laboratoires, OpenAI a transformé une évolution technique en révolution sociale. Les questions d'hallucinations, de jailbreak et d'alignement des modèles ont alors émergé comme des enjeux majeurs. Les modèles de fondation : l'IA qui apprend à vivre avant de se spécialiser C'est ici que Frédéric introduit son concept central : les modèles de fondation. L'analogie qu'il utilise est parlante : un enfant qui grandit jusqu'à 20 ans — observant des formes, des visages, des papillons, faisant du cerf-volant — développe une compréhension générique du monde qui en fait un « excellent modèle de fondation ». Il sera ensuite capable d'apprendre un métier précis, comme la géométrie ou la rétroingénierie de code, en repartant de cette base solide plutôt que de zéro. Un modèle de fondation est entraîné sur des quantités massives de données brutes, sans nécessairement annoter chaque exemple. Une fois cette phase généraliste accomplie, on n'a plus besoin que d'un tout petit volume de données spécialisées et annotées pour l'amener à un niveau d'excellence sur une tâche précise. Là où il fallait autrefois des millions d'exemples étiquetés, quelques centaines suffisent désormais. Ce paradigme bouleverse les rapports de force autour de la donnée. Frédéric, qui conseillait autrefois à ses clients de « conserver précieusement toutes leurs données », leur dit aujourd'hui d'en garder un peu, de bonne qualité. Le reste n'est plus indispensable. Vers l'inférence sans entraînement La dernière évolution abordée est peut-être la plus spectaculaire : le zero-shot learning. Grâce à la richesse des modèles de fondation, il est aujourd'hui possible de montrer une seule image d'un objet inconnu — une voiture jamais vue pendant l'entraînement — et d'être immédiatement capable de la reconnaître dans d'autres photos. Aucun entraînement supplémentaire n'est nécessaire : le modèle comprend l'objet à partir d'un seul exemple. C'est en ce sens que l'on peut parler d'IA « sans données » : non pas qu'il n'y en ait jamais eu, mais que l'utilisateur final n'a plus besoin d'en fournir pour bénéficier de capacités autrefois réservées aux experts disposant de vastes bases de données annotées. Un domaine en perpétuelle ébullition La conversation aborde également la dynamique concurrentielle entre modèles propriétaires américains et modèles open source, notamment chinois (DeepSeek) et français (Mistral). Les contraintes imposées aux acteurs chinois en matière de puissance de calcul ont paradoxalement stimulé l'innovation, à travers des techniques comme la distillation, le pruning ou l'optimisation des architectures d'attention. L'épisode se conclut sur une note d'ouverture : les hallucinations reculent, les modèles apprennent à dire « je ne sais pas », et le champ continue d'évoluer à un rythme soutenu — autant de raisons de se retrouver pour un prochain épisode.

« J'ai mis un TJM à 800 et c'est passé, je n'ai eu aucune objection. »✒️ Le thème de ce nouvel épisode :Comment l'hyper-spécialisation permet d'augmenter son TJM, sans négociation côté prospects.✨ Mon invité pour en parler : Philippe, ingénieur et data scientist industriel. Il cumule quinze ans d'expérience entre l'industrie, les matériaux et la data. Il s'est lancé en freelance fin 2024 et intervient aujourd'hui sur un périmètre très précis : la maintenance prédictive pour les PME industrielles.À ses débuts, Philippe facture ses missions en régie à 450 € par jour. En un peu plus d'un an, il passe à 800 €, puis 950 €, sans discussion sur le prix.Ce déclic arrive pendant sa phase de prospection.À force d'échanges avec des entreprises, il se rend compte que, malgré son expertise, son positionnement ne renvoie pas le bon signal. Il se présente encore trop comme un profil “classique”, alors que ses prospects le contactent pour une expertise bien précise.C'est en poussant sa spécialisation beaucoup plus loin — jusqu'à l'hyper-spécialisation — et en la rendant clairement identifiable qu'il commence à attirer des prospects qui savent exactement pourquoi ils viennent le chercher. Résultats : des échanges plus simples, des demandes plus qualifiées, et un TJM qui s'envole.

La voix de Son Goku de Dragon Ball Z résonnerait-elle encore dans nos oreilles sans ce petit quelque chose que Brigitte Lecordier a insufflé dans le personnage ? Serions-nous attachés à ce petit garçon naïf et toujours joyeux s'il avait eu une voix générée par l'intelligence artificielle ? Si cette technologie est une menace directe pour la profession de doubleur, elle l'est aussi pour tous ceux qui consomment les versions françaises. Par exemple, les spectateurs de la série pour enfants My Little Pony - Raconte ton histoire ont vu les voix de leurs personnages remplacés par une IA pour la deuxième saison sortie en janvier 2024.

About my goal. The Pikes Peaks ride is 36.70 miles up and down, 7000 feet of climbing starting from 7000 feet elevation in Manitou Springs Colorado. The total time to go up and down is 4 hours with an average speed of 9.1 mph. How should I prepare? Here's a high-level 12-week training plan tailored for a cyclist preparing to ride Pikes Peak via the Pikes Peak Highway, focusing on climbing strength, altitude adaptation, and endurance. The plan assumes a goal of completing the ride in 4 hours, with an average power of 173W and a total of 36.7 miles and 7,000 feet of climbing. Save the following for next week's Ask A Coach Ask A Coach: Should I run a full marathon in a buildup to full IRONMAN?  Coach, I'm getting ready for my full distance IRONMAN this Fall. What do you think about me doing a full marathon as a build up to the IRONMAN? That's awesome—you're gearing up for one of the most demanding endurance events out there! Preparing for a full-distance IRONMAN (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) requires a smart balance of volume, intensity, and recovery. Your question about whether a full marathon is necessary or ideal is a great one, and it really depends on your goals and current training status. Is a Full Marathon Necessary for IRONMAN Prep? While many athletes include a marathon in their build-up, it's not always the most effective or safest choice. Here's why:   Pros of Running a Marathon Before IRONMAN: - Mental confidence boost from completing the distance. - Opportunity to test nutrition, pacing, and gear. - Simulates the fatigue and mental grind of the IRONMAN run.   Cons: - High injury risk due to the pounding and recovery time required. - Doesn't replicate IRONMAN fatigue (you'll be running after 6–8 hours of swimming and biking). - Can disrupt your training cycle due to the taper and recovery needed.   Viable Alternatives to a Marathon Here are some smart substitutes that can build endurance and race readiness without the downsides of a standalone marathon: 1. **Century Ride (100-mile bike)** - **Pros**: Low-impact, builds aerobic base, simulates IRONMAN bike leg. - **Use it for**: Nutrition testing, pacing, and mental endurance. - **Pair it with**: A short brick run (e.g., 6–10 miles) to simulate race fatigue.   2. **Long Swim Events (e.g., 5K–10K open water)** - **Pros**: Builds swim confidence, improves pacing and sighting. - **Use it for**: Practicing open water skills and wetsuit comfort. - **Pair it with**: A bike ride or short run for a swim-bike brick.   3. **Race Simulation Bricks** - **Example**: 80-mile bike + 13-mile run. - **Pros**: Mimics IRONMAN fatigue better than a standalone marathon. - **Use it for**: Testing gear, nutrition, and pacing under fatigue.   4. **Back-to-Back Long Runs** - **Example**: 12 miles Saturday + 10 miles Sunday. - **Pros**: Builds run durability with less injury risk than a marathon. - **Use it for**: Building cumulative fatigue without a single long effort. Coach's Summary Recommendation Unless you're chasing a marathon PR or need the mental boost, **skip the standalone marathon**. Instead, focus on **race-specific brick workouts**, **long rides**, and **progressive long runs**. These will better prepare you for the unique demands of IRONMAN day. Get Gritty Tip: My 2025 Misogi! Going into today's Pikes Peak ride, I was very unsure of what to expect. I heard from Rich that this was an annual challenge he has done since 2017 and this was something he looked forward to every year. Personally, I had not yet been on the Pikes Peak Highway nor had I really ventured into learning about it, other than what Coach Rich shared with me in prep. Even with the lack of personal knowledge, I stared at that mountain for over a year and a half and knew full well that this was going to be an EPIC day. I also knew that this was to be my 2025 Misogi.  If you remember back to earlier in the year, we talked about the concept of a Misogi which I was first introduced to in Michael Easter's book, The Comfort Crisis. A Misogi is an ancient Japanese practice of purification and redefined by modern thinkers as a way to push boundaries, build resilience, and challenge what's possible. The rule? You must pick a challenge so big and audacious that there's at least a 50% chance you won't succeed. It should be something far outside your comfort zone, forcing you to confront your limits—and then go beyond them. For me, riding Pike's Peak Highway on a road bike climbing possibly to the 14,115 ft summit was it. I knew I had a 50% chance or less of completing it on the first try. Well, I definitely stretched my limits and went beyond them. There was one point where I was shaking and felt altitude sickness. Coach Rich gently checked in with me and we agreed to go section by section, at my pace. I'm sure I showed up on a few people's instagram reels as I was leaning over my bike trying to catch my breath and not hurl. I kept smiling, laughing, swapping war stories with Rich and got my crazy ass up to the brake check station.  Even though we didn't make it to the summit, I was so freaking proud of how deep I dug and how far I came to my “braking” point. It seemed fitting for us to call it there and start our descent. When we reached the bottom, Rich asked how I was feeling, and I told him that I was excited to try again next year and see how much further I could progress. He was relieved and saw instantly that even though I didn't reach the peak, a fire for growth was lit, and that my friends is the whole purpose of a Misogi! Because here's the truth: Misogis aren't about the summit. They're about discovering what's inside you when the odds are uncertain, the air is thin, and your legs are screaming. It's about who you become when you lean into the challenge rather than back away. I didn't conquer the mountain that day—but I did conquer the voice inside me that said I couldn't. And that's what lit the fire to try again. So now it's your turn. What mountain—literal or metaphorical—are you willing to stare down in 2025? Pick something bold. Make it matter. And don't do it alone. We'll be here cheering, supporting, and swapping war stories right alongside you. Get gritty. Go big. Grow. That's your Get Gritty Tip of the week!   TriDot Workout of the Week: Stamina Ride   Today's workout is all about endurance and power. You'll focus on maintaining your race position, building stamina at different intensities, and keeping a solid rhythm throughout each effort. This is a great session to build consistency and mental toughness, key ingredients for triathlon success.   Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4     Main Set 2 x 12 min (5 min) @ Z4 (10 min) 1 x 20 min @ Z3 Balance of time @ Z2 Session Note When performing longer stamina sessions, stay in race position as if racing. Sit up to stretch periodically if you tend to tighten up. Then get back into race position. Aim to make the last repeat of each effort level as solid as the first. Perform Z2 and Z3 efforts @ 90+ rpms. Perform Z4 efforts @ 80 rpms. Motivational Tip: Focus on consistency today. The goal is to make your last interval as strong as your first. Whether you're climbing the hills in a race or pushing through the final miles, staying steady and focused will make the difference. Your race position isn't just about form—it's about creating efficiency and strength, even when the legs feel tired. Stay in the zone, push through those stamina efforts, and keep your legs moving. You're building the strength and endurance needed to power through the toughest parts of your race.     Fun Segment: Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction? Alright listeners, it's time to ascend into madness with a brand new segment we're calling Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction? We're taking on one of Colorado's most iconic climbs—the infamous Pikes Peak Highway. Rich, your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to tell us which of these high-altitude statements are real… and which are just altitude-induced hallucinations. 1. “Race cars use jet engines for added thrust to ascend Pikes Peak.” Answer: Fiction Why: While competitors use high-output, turbocharged engines (like 875 hp Peugeot 208s) to counter altitude-induced power loss, nobody is bolting jet engines to their cars at PPIHC. 2. “Runners have passed out at the summit due to thin air and needed oxygen revival.” Answer: Fact Why: The Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon finish at the summit (14,115 ft), where oxygen levels are roughly 60% of sea level . There are documented cases of athletes needing supplemental oxygen at the summit aid station after fainting or showing symptoms of altitude sickness. 3. “Pikes Peak birthed burro racing alongside donkeys up the mountain.” Answer: Fiction Why: Burro racing—known as “pack burro”—did originate in Colorado, but traces back to historic mining routes in Leadville and Fairplay, not Pikes Peak. The first official pack‑burro race began in 1949 along Mosquito Pass between Leadville and Fairplay. 4. “High-altitude summer temps can freeze fuel lines in race support vehicles.” Answer: Fiction Why: Although summit temperatures may dip near freezing—even snow in summer—modern fuel systems aren't vulnerable to frozen fuel lines in mild conditions. In truth, volume and moisture are the real culprits, and freezing requires much more frigid temperatures. 5. “There's a ‘Double' marathon—one run to the summit one day, and the full marathon back the next.” Answer: Fact Why: Known as the “Doubler,” this brutal challenge combines the Pikes Peak Ascent and the full Marathon on consecutive days—summit in one, summit and return the next. That's it for this round of Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction?! Did you get them all right? Let us know how you scored—and if you've got altitude stories or mountain myths, we'd love to hear and share them!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

Because here's the truth: Misogis aren't about the summit. They're about discovering what's inside you when the odds are uncertain, the air is thin, and your legs are screaming. It's about who you become when you lean into the challenge rather than back away. I didn't conquer the mountain that day—but I did conquer the voice inside me that said I couldn't. And that's what lit the fire to try again. So now it's your turn. What mountain—literal or metaphorical—are you willing to stare down in 2025? Pick something bold. Make it matter. And don't do it alone. We'll be here cheering, supporting, and swapping war stories right alongside you. Get gritty. Go big. Grow. That's your Get Gritty Tip of the week! TriDot Workout of the Week: Stamina Ride Today's workout is all about endurance and power. You'll focus on maintaining your race position, building stamina at different intensities, and keeping a solid rhythm throughout each effort. This is a great session to build consistency and mental toughness, key ingredients for triathlon success. Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 2 x 12 min (5 min) @ Z4 (10 min) 1 x 20 min @ Z3 Balance of time @ Z2 Session Note When performing longer stamina sessions, stay in race position as if racing. Sit up to stretch periodically if you tend to tighten up. Then get back into race position. Aim to make the last repeat of each effort level as solid as the first. Perform Z2 and Z3 efforts @ 90+ rpms. Perform Z4 efforts @ 80 rpms. Motivational Tip: Focus on consistency today. The goal is to make your last interval as strong as your first. Whether you're climbing the hills in a race or pushing through the final miles, staying steady and focused will make the difference. Your race position isn't just about form—it's about creating efficiency and strength, even when the legs feel tired. Stay in the zone, push through those stamina efforts, and keep your legs moving. You're building the strength and endurance needed to power through the toughest parts of your race. Fun Segment: Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction? Alright listeners, it's time to ascend into madness with a brand new segment we're calling Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction? We're taking on one of Colorado's most iconic climbs—the infamous Pikes Peak Highway. Rich, your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to tell us which of these high-altitude statements are real… and which are just altitude-induced hallucinations. 1. "Race cars use jet engines for added thrust to ascend Pikes Peak." Answer: Fiction Why: While competitors use high-output, turbocharged engines (like 875 hp Peugeot 208s) to counter altitude-induced power loss, nobody is bolting jet engines to their cars at PPIHC. 2. "Runners have passed out at the summit due to thin air and needed oxygen revival." Answer: Fact Why: The Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon finish at the summit (14,115 ft), where oxygen levels are roughly 60% of sea level . There are documented cases of athletes needing supplemental oxygen at the summit aid station after fainting or showing symptoms of altitude sickness. 3. "Pikes Peak birthed burro racing alongside donkeys up the mountain." Answer: Fiction Why: Burro racing—known as "pack burro"—did originate in Colorado, but traces back to historic mining routes in Leadville and Fairplay, not Pikes Peak. The first official pack‑burro race began in 1949 along Mosquito Pass between Leadville and Fairplay. 4. "High-altitude summer temps can freeze fuel lines in race support vehicles." Answer: Fiction Why: Although summit temperatures may dip near freezing—even snow in summer—modern fuel systems aren't vulnerable to frozen fuel lines in mild conditions. In truth, volume and moisture are the real culprits, and freezing requires much more frigid temperatures. 5. "There's a 'Double' marathon—one run to the summit one day, and the full marathon back the next." Answer: Fact Why: Known as the "Doubler," this brutal challenge combines the Pikes Peak Ascent and the full Marathon on consecutive days—summit in one, summit and return the next. That's it for this round of Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction?! Did you get them all right? Let us know how you scored—and if you've got altitude stories or mountain myths, we'd love to hear and share them! Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!
