The PodiumRunner Endurance Podcast is hosted by Ian Sharman, a professional ultra runner and coach with over 200 marathons or ultra finishes and more than 50 wins (www.sharmanultra.com, twitter.com/sharmanian). We discuss training and racing topics with leading sports scientists and how to practically apply research findings for marathoners and ultra runners. Episode 2: Gut Microbiome With Dr Matt Laye and Dr Greg Grosicki Today we’re talking to two scientists who conduct research into the gut microbiome, which is made up of the trillions of microorganisms and their genetic material that live in your intestinal tract. These microorganisms, mainly comprising bacteria, are involved in functions critical to your health and wellbeing, which is especially important for training and racing well. - Dr Matt Laye (Twitter.com/mjlaye, MLaye@collegeofidaho.edu, www.sharmanultra.com/drmattlaye) is Assistant Professor and Chair at the Health and Human Performance Department of The College of Idaho. - Dr Greg Grosicki (Twitter.com/DrGregGrosicki or Twitter.com/armstrongBHPC) is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory at Georgia Southern University. - Both are avid runners and Matt was the 2014 USATF Trail Champion at 100 Miles. This show delves into: - What effects the gut microbiome has on the body. - Differences in the gut between elites and amateur athletes. - Whether there’s a short-cut to fitness and health from an elite’s gut microbiome. - Do probiotics help (think yogurts), and if so, what type? - What aspects of lifestyle affect it, especially diet, sleep, alcohol consumption and training. - What can runners do to optimize their gut microbiome and how we even know what that means at this point, given it’s only been researched very recently.

The original Jose’s Bag podcast had such stellar and rave reviews (fake news?), that we are back with another installment. In Jose’s Bag 2.0, Luke Alford from the University of Montana’s Health and Human Performance Department steps in for Jose, and he is joined by host Charlie Palmer and UM exercise physiologist/sport nutritionist Dr. Chuck Dumke to examine and discuss four items: coffee, Copenhagen, Vitamin C, and coconut oil.   This podcast was made possible in part through support from the U. S. Forest Service and the University of Montana. The University of Montana is an equal opportunity provider. 

University of Montana Health and Human Performance Department graduate student Jose Pena joins the podcast to discuss over-the-counter, alleged performance-enhancing products. Jose is a Chilean who came to the U. S. to play collegiate soccer, and has been involved with UM’s wildland firefighter research. While performing numerous surveys and interviews with WLFF, Jose heard of the widespread use of dietary supplements similar to that in athletics. Jose’s bag contains various items, all of which claim in some way to make users bigger, stronger, faster, or more alert. UM sport nutrition professor Chuck Dumke provides research based analysis on what role, if any, they play in helping WLFFs meet the demands of their job.   This podcast was made possible in part through support from the U. S. Forest Service and the University of Montana. The University of Montana is an equal opportunity provider. 

I'm lucky to call this man a friend.   Jeff Nichols is one of the smartest and most thoughtful humans with whom I've had the pleasure to converse.   Jeff is an exercise physiologist who has worked in the Human Performance Department for Naval Special Warfare, and is sought out by NFL and NBA teams [...] The post BHP 024: Jeff Nichols | Retired Navy SEAL on Growth, Success & Happiness appeared first on Ryan Munsey.

About 42,000 Americans take their own lives every year. While no known research has looked specifically at suicide prevalence rates within wildland firefighters, it appears to be a major concern within our population. Studies looking at structural firefighters indicate that they are three times more likely to die by suicide than a line of duty death. University of Montana professors Annie Sondag from the Health and Human Performance Department and John Sommers-Flanagan from the Counselor Education Department join host Charlie Palmer to discuss this important topic on the podcast.   This podcast was made possible in part through support from the U. S. Forest Service and the University of Montana. The University of Montana is an equal opportunity provider. 

Firefighters can expend upwards of 6200 calories per day during rigorous operations. Therefore, what they eat, when they eat, and how much they eat become extremely important factors that must be taken in to consideration by not only the firefighters themselves but also fire managers. Dr. Brent Ruby, director of the Montana Center for Work Physiology and Exercise Metabolism and professor in UM’s Health and Human Performance Department, joins the podcast to discuss this critically important topic. This podcast, the first in a two part series on nutrition, focuses primarily upon the food demands faced by firefighters while they are operational. The second part of the series, which will air in Season Two of “On the Line”, will concentrate on the role of nutrition in recovery.   This podcast was made possible in part through support from the U. S. Forest Service and the University of Montana. The University of Montana is an equal opportunity provider.
