Joe Warne, PhD, is a researcher at the Technological University Dublin. Joe is a main driver behind the Sports Science Replication Centre, that aims to replicate studies in the field of sports science to critically evaluate the quality and validity of the research. Joe and his team recently published a large-scale study showing that only 28% of randomly selected studies could be replicated, which has led to great concerns regarding the quality and methodology in sports science, and could impact how we view and consume science. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: What are the replication concerns in sports science, and why does it matter? How can coaches and athletes navigate scientific research, given the methodological issues that exist? How to discern between more and less credible findings in sports scienceThe underlying issues: publication bias, underpowered study designs, and questionable research practicesThe way forwardDETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

My guest for this episode is Stevie Delahunt, returning for the 3rd time. We spoke about this time last year, after she finished the endurance race known as Tevis a 100 mile endurance ride on the Western States Trail in California. This ride is legendary, with only 39% of the entrants completing the full race this year. Stevie was one of those riders, along with 2 other riders competing on her horses. She had a total of 5 horses in the race, and the other 2 horses made it to mile 94. This is just an incredible feat, especially considering that her focus was more on process than on getting the buckle. This year, she not only finished Tevis, she followed that the next weekend by finishing a half Ironman triathlon. We spent a fair bit of time in this podcast talking about what it takes to finish two such grueling races. We went pretty deep in this episode, including speaking about Stevie's theory that all truths are paradoxes, how to manage your doubts and outs, the value of having process versus outcome goals and so much more. I've been out to Oregon to ride with Stevie 4 times, and each time I go, gain more strength in my mental tools, have fun and learn a lot. Stevie walks her talk. Here's what Stevie says about herself: Stevie Delahunt graduated Michigan State University with two degrees and an intent to pursue law school at Georgetown University where she had been accepted. She switched gears and went to the French Pastry School of Chicago to learn how to do wedding cakes and set up shop in the Windy City. While in Chicago she learned of the world's toughest horse race, the Mongol Derby, and she again let life guide her into constant change. On the other side of successfully completing the Mongol Derby she took a job with a startup company in Rhode Island and learned coding and marketing for the online business. The endeavor in the world of start-ups gave her strong leadership skills and an education in business models she applied to starting her second and current business of horse related retreats. Stevie's current business encompasses several facets of the horse world including beginner riding instruction, advanced Bootcamp style retreats for riders wishing to participate in difficult horse riding survival races around the world, horse shoeing, and endurance racing with horses which includes doing the worlds toughest one day one hundred mile horse race; the Tevis Cup. Stevie believes that adversity is a necessary part of life and being prepared for adversity as well as creating it for oneself is essential and is a tool she uses in teaching both horses and humans, both young and old. I hope you enjoy this episode with Stevie Delahunt.

That's where you'll find me, Coach Patrick, as we embark on a journey through the thrilling and sometimes tumultuous world of summer endurance sports. While Ironman Lake Placid unfolds with fervor, I'm here to share the pulse of the race from afar, offering my insights and guidance to friends and athletes navigating the final stretch of the season. With August on the horizon, we're gearing up for everything from half Ironmans to iconic gravel races like Leadville and Steamboat, keeping the spirit of camaraderie and strategy-sharing alive. As summer becomes the "Bermuda Triangle" of racing—where heat, rest, and life's commitments converge—it's crucial to adapt and thrive. Allow me to guide you through this dynamic period, offering strategies to balance your training and optimize your race plans. Whether you're a seasoned racer or new to the scene, I'll share unconventional approaches to building fitness and staying on course. So, pull up a chair, and let's explore how to maneuver through the summer racing season with flexibility, strategy, and a touch of innovation. Trust me, the journey is just as rewarding as the finish line.

What are some common nutrition myths that won't seem to die that continue to get passed on?What are some of the more common fad diets currently?A lot of athletes assume that data is the end all, be all of training information. While data is important, could you explain how data can be misinterpreted with respect to training and nutrition?In the age of influencers and social media where it seems that almost everyone has an opinion on nutrition, who are some people or websites that you recommend athletes check out for fact/science-based nutrition information?How much of a role does athletes seeking out perfection influence their likelihood of falling for misinformation and the latest nutrition trend?

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Fitness Coach Max Gering discuss the case of David, a 52-year-old father and IRONMAN aspirant with limited training time. David's initial marathon training was rigid and stressful, affecting his family life. The team at Purple Patch adapted his training to a dynamic, flexible schedule, focusing on hydration, sleep, and post-workout fueling. They deferred his Ironman to five months later, allowing him to build a performance base. David's training included a mix of strength, running, and biking, with key sessions planned in advance. He successfully completed his IRONMAN in 12 hours, demonstrating the effectiveness of their integrated approach.

This week's show brought to you by: MAS NAD+ for Runners Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there. This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy. But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn't mean you have to accept it. NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%. Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements. This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level. You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. If you're ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the importance of Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) in endurance sports, emphasizing its role in training and racing. He explains that RPE, influenced by factors like muscle fatigue and psychological stress, is a subjective rating of effort that complements metrics. Dixon highlights common mistakes, such as over-reliance on data, and advocates for developing self-awareness through regular self-assessment. He suggests practical exercises like blind intervals and long runs to enhance RPE skills. Dixon also notes that RPE is crucial in life beyond sports, aiding in stress management and performance optimization.

In this episode of the CoachCast, host Dirk Friel sits down with Kristen Arnold, a registered dietitian, elite cycling coach, and former pro racer, to unpack the complex relationship endurance athletes often have with food and body image. Drawing from her coaching and clinical experience, Kristen explores how disordered eating patterns can quietly surface in training environments that overemphasize being lean, disciplined, or performing at any cost. Kristen offers practical strategies for coaches and athletes to identify red flags, reframe food as fuel (not a reward or punishment), and prioritize long-term health alongside results. From race-day fueling to an off-season mindset, this conversation challenges outdated norms and empowers listeners to pursue performance with compassion, curiosity, and balance.

In this episode:We're diving into the chaos of triathlon training this week, and trust me, it's not a walk in the park. Our guests today, the dynamic duo of Gerard and Jordy Donnelly, are here to spill the tea on why nailing your power output is like trying to juggle flaming swords while riding a unicycle—nearly impossible, but oh-so-rewarding when you get it right! They've seen countless beginners pedal like they're in a wind tunnel, struggling to keep their power steady against Mother Nature's whims. We'll also chat about the absurdity of athletes questioning their race plans like they're trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. If you've ever thought about how to balance fun with performance, this episode is for you. So grab your favorite gel (the kind that won't send you spiraling into a sugar crash), and let's get into some serious triathlon talk!Segments:[08:57]- Medical Mailbag: Can sports fuels lead to diabetes?[31:56]- Interview: Gerard and Jordy DonnellyLinks@trivelocoaching on Instagram Jordy and Gerard's Website Jordy and Gerard on YouTube

This episode is part of the POE series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark. In November 2024, Akshay Nanavati set out to do what no one had ever attempted before… He wanted to complete the world's first unsupported, solo, 2,750km coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica without any dogs or kites. To do this, he would need to drag a sled with a starting weight of 420 pounds from start to finish. The goal? To explore the hidden treasures of the human soul—treasures that can only be found in the depths of solitude and suffering. He wanted to push the boundaries of what's possible and share the wisdom found on the other side. His attempt was ultimately cut short due to a life-threatening infection, but not before he covered 500 miles in 60 days. In this gripping episode of Beyond A Million, Akshay recounts the journey: the intense physical and mental preparation, raising $1.1 million, spending two months in complete isolation, and confronting the unrelenting monotony of Antarctica. We also dive into how his background as a Marine, a recovering addict, and author of Fearvana shaped the philosophy that fuels his relentless drive.

"The goal is just supposed to stretch you further." In this episode, author and coach Matt Fitzgerald, discusses his new book launching on March 25 'Chasing Mastery: 25 Lessons to Cultivate Your Full Potential in Endurance Sports' which explores the journey of cultivating full potential in endurance sports. Matt discusses the definitions of success, the importance of motivation, and the common goals athletes pursue. He shares insights on how to achieve mastery through a developmental process and the role of coaching in nurturing athlete motivation. He emphasizes the need for self-regulation and mastery in training, as well as the significance of social connections in enhancing motivation and performance. The dialogue also touches on the concept of 'hard fun' in training, the value of reflective practices, and the unique opportunities provided by his Dream Run Camp.
