Lucy Gossage has been around on the long distance triathlon scene for a long time, and she's instantly recognisable with her blue Erdinger kit and infectious smile. If you don't know Lucy, she has 14 Ironman victories to her name including IMUK, IM Wales, IM Lanzarote and Patagonman (basically all the toughest ones). In 2019 she stepped back from IM racing to focus more on her work as an Oncologist in Nottingham. You'll get a sense of how Lucy likes to challenge herself with that race resume, and today's conversation is all about another of those challenges. And they don't really come much bigger than The Winter Spine Challenge - 268 miles on the Pennine Way in the depths of winter. It's a non-stop event requiring participants to be self sufficient. The temperature barely gets above 0ºC, with knee deep snow and blizzards at times, and as if that's not enough the sleep deprivation can literally be a nightmare. We chat about: Weekly power strength yoga - "I just knew that I had to get as strong as I could" The benefits of commuting to work and keeping it fun Walking poles in ultra racing - "As soon as I got them, I was like, oh my god, these are a game changer." Sleep walking - "The most terrifying discombobulating experience I've ever had." Shoe selection - "I went with Hoka Speedgoats, which many say is crazy for that terrain. But they were so comfortable." Sleep deprivation and cognitive function - "I could see the red lines on my Garmin where I'd gone off the course and I was like bloody hell I am actually sleepwalking." To find out more about Lucy please use these channels: Twitter @lucygoss Insta @lucygossage Link to topics we covered in the show NHS Blog posts Lucy and I talked for quite a bit at the start about the NHS and she mentioned some blog posts she had written. You can find those HERE. Lucy's favourite book Shantaram:A Novel - by Gregory Roberts “It's a long book but an incredible read."

"Na dedinskom futbale si o sebe vypočuješ strašné veci." Martin Škrtel patrí bez váhania medzi slovenské futbalové legendy. Životopisný dokument MARTIN ŠKRTEL: BUĎ ALEBO, je v kinách a rozpráva príbeh človeka, ktorý sa z malého Ráztočna prepracoval až na futbalový vrchol, do tímu FC Liverpool. "Keď ideš za svojim cieľom, obetuješ sa a nenecháš sa zlomiť, zistíš, že sa dá s futbalom dosiahnuť aspoň to, čo som dosiahol ja." V rozhovore sa dozvieš: - aké mal pocity, keď prvýkrát videl film o sebe, - ako prebiehala výroba filmu, - kto bol počas Martinovej kariéry najväčší konkurent na trávniku, - o pľuvanci do tváre, - dedinský futbal je psychicky náročný, prečo ho hrá, - slávne futbalové prestupy, najlepší futbalista sveta a nevydarený biznis s Trnavou.

Today's guest on the Forever Student is Tom Walker. He’s worked in the fitness world for over a decade, some of those years focused on coaching triathletes. Tom also decided to compliment his experience and hands on knowledge with a BSc in Applied Sport Science. He saw the ‘student lifestyle’ as a chance to develop his own race experience and in his 3 years as a student bagged two AG top 10’s at IM 70.3 Dublin and IM UK, raced at the 70.3 World Championships and represented GB at the European Middle distance championships. Alongside this, Tom’s continued to coach triathletes and endurance athletes and spent 2 years working as an S&C coach for his Universities High Performance Academy. Tom is now an endurance coach at Innerfight in Dubai. Today, we talk about his journey as a professional athlete, some misconception about endurance sports, why you should consider signing up for an endurance race, goal setting, staying consistent and committed, and much more.

Am 5. Mai finden im Vereinigten Königreich wieder Regionalwahlen statt. Erstmals dürfte im nordirischen Parlament Sinn Féin die stärkste Kraft werden. Die Partei, die von vielen Katholiken gewählt wird, sieht das als wichtigen Schritt hin zu einer Vereinigung mit der Republik Irland. Doch andere Teile der Bevölkerung hoffen, dass die Parlamentswahl in Nordirland endlich wieder eine handlungsfähige Regierung bringt, stabile politische Verhältnisse – in einer Gesellschaft, die immer noch gespalten ist und mit großen Herausforderungen konfrontiert ist: Corona, steigende Lebenshaltungskosten und Brexit.

On today’s episode of Coaches on the Couch, Coach Philip has guest speakers: Susie Cheetham, Angela Jameson and Emma Hatzis. The aim of this conversation was to educate and empower pregnant and postpartum female athletes in an informed manner while attempting to clarify and dispel any myths or misunderstandings around pregnancy and endurance sport. In this honest, transparent and enlightening episode, we cover a whole range of experiences and lessons that these three experts want to share with you. Susie Cheetham is a GB runner turned professional triathlete: Course record holder at IRONMAN Hamburg, a frequent contender on Alii drive with 6th places at the World Championships. Both Susie and her husband Rob are coaches themselves. Susie is expecting her first child shortly! Angela Jameson runs Physically Fit UK. Angela is overly qualified: after a degree in sports science, she turned her hand as a physical trainer and pilates instructor where she is a leading expert on pre and postnatal pilates, health and well being. Her brother-in-law is ex-professional triathlete Joel Jameson and so she understands the sport of triathlon. Emma Hatzis is a top age-group triathlete, after being the fastest AG at Staffordshire 70.3 in 2018 and the overall winner at IMUK in 2019, she competed at her first World Championships in 2019. She also has been dragged into this episode as she has the pleasure of being coach Philip's wife! They are expecting in early January.
In this episode Sam and I are joined by Jacqui Tomkins (Chair of IMUK) and Kay King (Campaign Manager of Childbirth Choices Matter and the National Coordinator for the White Ribbon Alliance in the UK) to talk about the current campaign to produce an insurance product for self-employed independent midwives.

Lukas Siska recently finished third at Ironman UK, in his first attempt at the distance. This is his comeback season after a 3 year lay off from racing following the end of his ITU career, where he represented Slovakia.

Plenty of results to talk about including some impressive female performances at IM Lake Placid, IM UK and the ITU World Long Course Championships. We also took the time this week to get some training advice. First, Macca talks about how to manage your training and racing in season and how you can actually use races to find form. We also then discuss the difference between motivation and accountability and how Macca managed to train when he wasn't motivated. These are tips that all athletes, age group or pro can use to improve. We answer some questions from the MaccaX community and make some more announcements including another addition to the coaching staff.

In Sprogcast 22, Dr Attila Jonas talks about his woman-centred epidurals, and Johanna Rhys-Davies gives a great insight into her work for Birthrights. Mark and Karen discuss the IMUK insurance issue, and get a bit philosophical, as usual.
After a bit of a break the podcast is back! To kick off series 3, I'm sharing an interview with an independent midwife, Nicky Grace, whom I know personally through my local Home Birth Group. [spp-player optin="off" ctabuttons="off" url=“youraudio.mp3"] Save the Independent Midwife I decided to start with this due to the recent shocking news here in the UK, that independent midwives are being forced out of work because their regulator, The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) have announced that their professional indemnity insurance is no longer valid. This means that they can no longer attend births and if they do, they will be struck off. This is a real hammer blow on so many levels; women in the UK will be forced to use the NHS (ou national health service) depsite the fact that it does not have enough resources to satisfy demand women who feel they need extra care and support during their pregnancy and birth, will no longer be able to receive the level of the support they seek Some women pregnant women feel so strongly about this that they are seriously considering free-birthing (no midwifery support) which means that they are potentially exposed to increased risks in case the situation demands midwifery assistance. Imagine if private dentists everywhere had just found out that their insurance was no longer valid and that they had to shut their practice. It wouldn't happen would it? So why does such a farcical situation unfold when it comes to something as important as birth and women's fundamental rights. Here is more information about this crazy situation This week's announcement: Indemnity provision for IMUK midwives is 'inappropriate', says NMC Birthrights Criticises NMC for Independent Midwives Decision I have a bit of a mini rant at the begining of the podcast, but really I wanted to use the podcast to shine a supportive ray of light on the incredible women that are midwives and for me sharing an interview with someone like Nicky does that brilliantly. Nicky is an independent midwife who set up the Nottingham Home Birth Group, which is where I met her when I was planning my home births. She has been an independent midwife for many years *cough cough* and is also active in the Association of Radical Midwives (ARM). She also provides training to independent midwives through her Grace Academy of Midwifery and Birth. Our conversation dances all over the birth topic - as you would expect! So the best thing to do is to settle in and enjoy!

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: ====================================== [contact-form 3 "AskBen"] ====================================== Kristen asks: In one of your podcasts you spoke about beta alanine. Is this safe to take with caffeine know an empty stomach and are its effects on women different than men? Matthew asks: I have been looking into this machine called a versa climber to help improve my running and cycling. Do you have an opinion about it? Should I just stick to running and cycling? Joseph asks: My feet are nasty. my wife is on my case to get a pedicure, which i have refused. my latest argument is that the calluses on my feet are protective and if they sand my feet down i will get blisters. even i assume this argument has no merit. on the other hand i see no substantive reason to get one either. are there any good argument for or against getting pedicures (aside from being a man/looking pretty)? Tony Maldonado asks: Ben, I am an experienced ultra marathoner. At least I like to think I am. I've run a 100 miler, a couple of 100k and seven 50k events. Along with a few marathons. I am a middle of the packer. I am currently training for my first 50 miler on a very familiar very hilly course. I also want to run a flat 20 miler that takes place 1 week before the 50 mile event. I usually have a low mileage run the weekend before an ultra but really want to run this 20 miler and feel I can pull it off. What are you're suggestions or thoughts on this? In my response to Tony, I reference my article about Lightning Speed Recovery Secrets. Chris asks: What is your opinion about Phosphatidylserine and its use with endurance athletes? In my response to Chris, I mention Jarrow phosphatidylserine. Kathleen asks: Goat's Colostrum seems to be such a good supplement and I want to take it. But, I've had breast cancer and the info. talks about a growth hormone. It is important that I do not raise my estrogen levels. Is this growth hormone something I should stay away from? I am not on any anti-cancer drugs because of their side effects. Also, it says goat's colostrum can raise low blood sugar. Should people with diabetes not take this supplement? Tifani asks: In one of your podcasts, you mentioned that you were writing, or had written a book about eating in accordance with your body type. I have realized recently that I am a skinny fat person and as a vegetarian that despises weight and resistance training, I am trying to figure out what the right balance of protein/carbs/fat is for me. Thank you for any insight you can give me! Tomaz asks: TUM (Techniche Universitat Munich, Germany) has recently published research of positive impact of beer on endurance sport (emphasizing alkoholfree beer). What is your thought on that? Tom asks: At a running expo before a local run, a salesperson gave me a sample of a dietary supplement called "Limu Original", the "premium fucoidan blend". What is this? Jack asks: I recently competed at the IM70.3 UK and was in a good position going onto the run but after about 1km of the run I began to feel bloated and sick. This GI distress continued over the whole run and so I was unable to take on any more fuel and most importantly was unable to put together the sub 1h25m half I was looking for. Instead I was forced to slow down and stop to be sick regularly causing me to finish severely disappointed with a 1h42m half. I had similar issues last season at both IM70.3 and IM UK so this year I have adopted a paleo diet similar to that outlined in Joe Friel's book to not only improve my diet but to help reduce GI distress. I thought the reduced gluten leading up to the race would help but this was not the case. During the race I had a gel just before the swim start and then consumed 500ml of Gatorade with a gel per hour of the bike. My thoughts are that the other causes could be the energy gels consumed on the bike or inadvertently swallowing the lake water during the swim. I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas to help me discover the cause and prevent it from ruining yet another race. Justin asks: I just finished my 2nd half ironman this past Sunday, I followed one of your training plans on training peaks an took 23 minutes off my first 1/2 iron time. I wasn't sure how it would go as I missed a TON of workouts, but I guess between absorbing as much knowledge from your podcast and doing the workouts I did it came together for me on race day. My question is I have another 1/2 iron race in just under 4 weeks now. Knowing that I have the endurance to get thru the event I want to focus on getting faster now if I can. Should I be doing large ring hill repeats and running hills to boost my strength and speed? Or why is the best way to add some speed over the next few weeks? Sarah asks: I started doing crossfit Dec 1st. My background in fitness is a more traditional bodybuilding type workout with your typical cardio (running, elliptical etc). At first I had a hard time with crossfit since it's powerlifting type stuff, it was like I had to be trained all over again. Since then until now, I've improved greatly, but I lack in the intensity and endurance. Many times I'll stop midway to catch my breath and regroup, but I see the others pressing forth and pushing past. I'd really like to get better at it. I've heard that doing two WODs a day may help in my endurance and intensity, but isn't that overuse? I crossfit 5 days a week at 5:30 am, and my coach is stellar. What recommendations do you have for a crossfitter to get faster, stronger, and to gain endurance and stamina? In my response to Sarah, I recommend the Elite Performance Profile from Bioletics. Craig Huggart asks: I'm training for a sprint distance triathlon. At what point would you recommend including some speed training? Philip asks: I recently started taking Lipton Iced Green Tea for beneficial purpose, as i could not take the plain green tea. After bringing some 36 cans at one stretch, i realized that it would provide approx. 80 Cal for a full 330 ml can (every 100 ml is reported to produce 28 Cal). After this i have reduced the intake to 1 can a day with some exercise. Is it really harmful? will taking the 36 cans over a month really cause me health problems? -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!

If you want to add a comment click here: add comment then open the discussion. Age grouper of the week Here’s what the BBC wrote about this weeks age grouper: Jamie Andrew. Jamie Andrew swam more than two miles, cycled 112 miles and ran a marathon in just under 24 hours. The 37-year old from Edinburgh, dubbed "Titanium Man" because of his prosthetic legs, hopes the challenge will raise £50,000. It is in aid of the 500 miles charity, which he has launched with fellow quadruple amputee Olivia Giles. The Iron Man triathlon is considered one of the toughest feats of athletic endurance for able-bodied athletes.It started with a dawn dip in Loch Tay, followed by a cycle from Kenmore to Falkirk, and finished with a 26.2 mile run down the Union Canal to Edinburgh.Project funding Mr Andrew began the gruelling event at about 0600 BST on Saturday and completed the challenge the following morning. He lost his hands and feet following a climbing expedition in the French Alps in 1999 in which his friend, Jamie Fisher, died. Here’s his Charities: 500 miles High 5 Robert Ritchie sent through this weeks High 5: The importance of getting early treatment for injuries.There’s some great insight here. Thanks Robert. 1. Early treatment will prevent more serious complications. 2. It will be cheaper to get treated straight up 3. Less lost training time while you recover. 4.

Age Grouper of the week This weeks age grouper is Matthew Morris. In the Redman Ironman distance race he did the 5th faster bike split of the day. Well done Matthew. Discussion We want the people who have done Hawaii to share some tips with those who haven’t. What are the things you would do different if you went to Kona again. Coach’s Corner Finishing off you season Have a clear date for the end of your season, avoid the temptation to keep dragging it out. Allow a minimum of 2 weeks off after your last race (try to completely get away from triathlon). Then follow unstructured (low volume) training for a few weeks and spend time planning you next season. Try to take as many weekends ‘off’ and spend time with family & friends. Important not too take too much zero time. Off season is the best time to work on limiters rather than trying to find small gains in strengths. Great time to do some detailed technique analysis (videoing). Questions and Answers Mark and Jono gave us some information on why 70.3’s are still called Half Ironman in Australia. Andy Gump asks us what we think a competent IM finish time is. Pete asks if we should keep training if we are sick. Denis wanted to know about big volume training.
