Duncan Scott became Britain's most decorated Olympic swimmer ever in Tokyo three years ago when he grabbed a gold and three silvers to add to the two silvers he bagged at Rio 2016. He is in Paris currently, and by the time this is out may have bagged a hatful more medals. Ahead of Duncan taking to the pool in Paris, we caught up to speak about the habits that have taken him to the top of his sport. From accountability to boundaries and avoiding too much digital distraction, as well as switching off through connection and comedy, Duncan shares so many valuable life lessons. Duncan is also incredibly humble, a trait I hugely admire, and shares his experience of being in flow and the transcendent performances it helped him produce.

The Paris Olympics start this week, and I have clear memories dating back to the first one I can remember: Munich 1972.   Every 4 years we witness amazing performances and emotional moments. Hopefully, 2024 in Paris will be the same. For our podcast guest this week it will be a magical moment, when he steps onto the pontoon for the Men's Individual Triathlon next week.   Sam Dickinson is a professional triathlete based in Leeds, and he is one of 5 who have been selected for the GB Olympic triathlon team for the Paris Olympics. He will race in the men's individual event as well as the team relay over the next 2 weeks.   It's a great pleasure to welcome Sam back as he was a guest on this show 6 years ago, almost to the day. If you are interested in listening to the 18 year old Sam, you can listen using the above link. Back then, Sam had just arrived in Leeds to start his journey as a full time triathlete at the Leeds Performance Centre. And since then, Sam has slowly and patiently built his fitness and learned his race craft in the various levels leading to World Triathlon series and the Olympics. This journey has not been without its challenges of injury, illness, and disappointment. But as you will hear from Sam, each of these experiences have been valuable lessons which have helped him to build resilience, and ultimately to achieve what for many athletes is a lifetime goal: To represent their country at the Olympic Games. To find out more about Sam please visit his Instagram Channel samdickotri.   This is the first podcast we recorded back in 2018.   Sam's favourite book is Atomic Habits by James Clear - a book which I can highly recommend as well. Sam says it's “a great book about moulding your environment to help you reach desired outcomes." Clearly it has had a huge influence on Sam's career so far!   For chilling out, Sam likes to listen to 'The Rest is Politics' podcast.   **To get a free copy of my personal daily mobility routine, please click HERE** To contact Beth regarding Life Coaching, please visit her website at BethanyWardLifeCoaching.uk.

Quillan Isidore is one of my favorite pros. I've followed him on social media to YouTube for years. So when I started my own podcast he was one person I wanted to interview. Meeting someone you admire doesn't always turn out how you want it. But with him I had a blast getting the chance to know him. In this episode we talked about him getting 3rd in round 10 of the World Cup in Argentina. Both weekends in Argentina according to Isidore were his most consistent. He even says it changed his mentality. Isidore had an up and down season with winning races in Tours, France, a couple Euro cups, a British Championship, and injuries. He has a no give up attitude I admire. We touched on his long time friendship with Tre and Kye Whyte, the changing of the guard from coach Marcus Bloomfield to former pro Kyle Evans, and the young guns Ross Cullen to the ever stylish Paddy Sharrock.At the moment Isidore is back in training for the new season and hopefully a place on the GB Olympic team in Paris.

Jack Green is a British sprint athlete who specialises in the 400m distance, along with the hurdles and the 4 × 400m relay.  He is a double Olympian, competing for GB at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games. And he is a World & European Medalist. He has achieved a lot, but in the shadows was struggling with his mental health. Jack, a top 10 high-performance elite athlete, took it upon himself to move away from the spotlight and focus on his mental health after a breakdown. He was diagnosed with depression, bi-polar tendencies and anxiety shortly after the 2012 London Olympics. After therapy, he realised his drive for perfection in the sporting world came only from external reasons and there was no internal reward for him. Now, years later, Jack is a public speaker, an ambassador for MIND, Young Minds and has worked with the government on elite sport mental health reform. He is also a well-being consultant for BBC Studios. We hope you enjoy hearing about Jacks story.

He also gave his view on doping and gave us his story of what took place in the Sun Yang podium incident. Finally, he also gave us an insight into the rise of the International Swimming League and the opportunities that this has opened up to swimmers both financially and in terms of promoting the sport to a wider audience.

Angela is with Andrew Steele former GB Olympic medal holder, a founding member of DNA fit and head of product to find out about how they use DNA testing to transform results in sport, weight loss and preventative health.  In this deep dive episode, find out all about how DNA testing can help you to optimise your health and wellbeing and why your genes are not your destiny it’s the epigenetics, the expression of your genes, that makes the difference to your health and longevity. Shining a light on the nature part of the nature, nurture equation is the key to understanding and provides information that can be used to successfully improve outcomes for any individual.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When the environment is the same but people’s outcomes are different the question is what is the other factor? DNA testing highlights the nature part of the nature-nurture equation. It provides another piece of information that can be used by individuals to improve their outcomes. You can use genetic data to help you reach your goals, it will help you to get better quicker. For nutrition genetic data helps with sustained changes in behaviours. People have a specific internal motivation as to ‘why’. They know they are made in a particular way and require particular nutrition. There is self-motivation for making one choice over another. There is a complete spectrum of diets that we are familiar with and individuals will have greatly differing experiences with them. There are 2 macronutrient groups that can be looked at; -Response to saturated fats -Response to refined carbohydrates This layer of ‘why’ and understanding how it is different for each person is important in making a difference. It’s a powerful motivation tool when you understand the impact of your genetics. Circle is the world’s most comprehensive DNA test reporting on 500 different genetic traits across 20 categories. Whole enzyme sequencing looks at every single part of the active or protein-coding part of the human genome.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Healthy lifestyle options are key, it’s about influencing our epigenetics’ ‘I’ve aligned my diet with my genetics’ ‘DNA testing is about shining a light on the nature part of the nature-nurture equation’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series Transform your sleep DNA optimization  High Performance website DNA Fit website   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.

Boulder’s Ryan Smith won the Leadville 100 trail run on Saturday night thanks to consistent second-half pacing that left his rivals unable to respond. It was the biggest win of his ultrarunning career. https://303triathlon.com/boulders-ryan-smith-wins-2019-leadville-100-with-consistent-second-half-pacing/   Endurance News: Last week we spoke about the Tokyo Olympic Test Event and the story of the two brits who were disqualified. We have a little more information on that story and information about a rule change that allowed for that disqualification. Remember when Alistair Brownlee threw is brother Jonathon across the line at the ________. The rule that disqualified this year's Brits was not in place when the Brownlee brothers raced. Follow up to the Womens Olympic test event last week: Learmonth and Taylor-Brown's disqualification meant compatriot Vicky Holland was bumped up to third, with Bermuda's Flora Duffy and Italy's Alice Betto taking first and second respectively. Two other Britons were also in the top ten; Non Stanford in seventh and Sophie Coldwell in ninth. Despite their feel-good ending being ruined, Taylor-Brown and Learmonth will no doubt take comfort in the knowledge they had no chance of qualifying for the GB Olympic team at this race regardless of their placing, due to results earlier this year. Holland was the only British woman eligible to automatically qualify for the Games here, thanks to her bronze medal in Rio, but the shortened distance meant the race lost its Olympic qualification status. Afterwards Holland was sympathetic to Learmonth and Taylor-Brown's situation.   Though the American contingent was strong and deep, boasting five of the world’s top 20-ranked triathletes among the starting field of 65, none finished on the podium and only one, fifth-place finisher Summer Rappaport of Thornton, Colo., clinched a spot for the Tokyo Games with her performance. Under USA Triathlon’s Olympic qualifying rules, as many as two spots were at stake for American women in the competition. But one would have had to finish on the podium in order for the second spot to be available. The U.S. is expected to send three female triathletes to the Tokyo Games, and there will be other opportunities to qualify next spring. Don't Fry Bacon Naked: Know Your Sport's Rules: The rule states that "athletes who finish in a contrived tie situation, where no effort to separate their finish times has been made, will be disqualified".  You might remember British Olympic medallists and brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlee's show of sportsmanship at a 2016 World Triathlon Series race in Mexico. Legal at the time, an exhausted Jonny was helped to the line by his brother Alistair, who pushed him ahead at the finish, but an ITU disqualification rule, similar to the one employed [at the trial event], has since been introduced to stop any comparable incident. Speaking of rule changes? Do you remember when Chrissy Wellington had a flat during her second Ironman World Championship and Rebekah Keat tossed her a CO2 cartridge? I was reading Mike Reilly's book "Finding My Voice" and he talks about how the rule that allowed another competitor to provide assistance was changed. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/new-cycling-world-speed-record-neil-campbell-yorkshire-porsche-a9064286.html   Discussion kickoff: Johannes Herrmann 1 week ago How as triathletes can we complain about people drafting or Patrick Lange littering 200 meters before the finish line in Kona - saying people are not upholding the rules - and find it stupid if someone upholds the rules. 1. Those are all pros earning their living with this sport and they should know the rules as every electirician and tax advisor for their particular job. 2. We should challenge the rules as such in order to make triathlon more attractive as a sport. Question which we should try to answer to challenge the existing rule : Would anyone care or even disqualify two athletes crossing the line together and finishing in for example 14th place jointly instead of 14th and 15th? My guess - no one cares. So change the rule!     Upcoming Interviews: Dr. Kirk Parsley, sleep specialist and former Navy SEAL returning to share some new information about the most effective recovery method - sleep.   Closing: Please support our affiliate brands that support the show and help you get faster!
