Podcasts about Kona

This week I'm joined by Mathieu Dupelle. Next year will mark Mathieu's 20th year on the mountain bike World Cup scene, working with some of the best riders on the planet. We sat down to chat about Mathieu's time with the Syndicate, looking after riders like Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie. We cover his time with the late great Stevie Smith, and the last 10 years that he's been working with Connor Fearon at Kona. Mathieu has some great stories from back in the day, and some awesome insight into the sport. What goes on in team manager meetings? What does it take to do well at an EWS these days? We chat about all that and plenty more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Mathieu Dupelle. You can find Mathieu on Instagram @dupelle.

Enjoy this special mini-series in partnership with active recovery shoe brand, OOFOS.  In three inspiring and unique conversations, we will be highlighting OOFOS brand ambassadors from the worlds of dance, triathlon and wellness. Today I sync up with globally renowned, American Professional Triathlete, the incredible Matt Russell.  Matt got his start in professional triathlon back in 2011 but in 2017 at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Matt had a life changing accident that altered the course of his life forever, when he was hit by a van while racing at 35mph on the bike course.  After surviving this devastating accident, Matt was undeterred from racing, he went back the following year to compete in Ironman World Championships coming in 6th place, and he continues to compete today.  This conversation is all about overcoming obstacles, having faith, believing, and having positive attitude in the face of adversity.  We also talk triathlon, health, nutrition, diet and mediation and how OOFOS Footwear has played a huge role in Matt's journey back to racing, training, and everyday movement. OOFOS is the global leader in recovery footwear, founded by a team of industry veterans looking to help runners and fitness enthusiasts recover better from their workouts. Made with revolutionary OOfoam™ technology, OOFOS are designed to absorb 37% more impact than traditional footwear, so your body doesn't have to - helping you recover and recharge between sessions. From professional athletes to casual walkers, OOFOS footwear will make your hard-working feet and body feel better – all you have to do is feel the OO.  Now, back to our guest, Matt Russell. On this episode, Matt shares the terrifying details of his 2017 accident, he talks about his recent health issues and recurring seizures, and his new diet helping him to prevent them. We do a deep dive into racing and training, long and short term goal setting, and disconnecting from data. Plus, Matt talks about the importance of family, his new nutrition focus, and embarking upon a functional medicine approach to health. We talk about the importance of rest and recovery. Matt offers insight into his favorite tools and routines including his OOFOS for all occasions!

Gustav Iden sat down with Matt Lieto and Sarah True to discuss the important parts of Triathlon - the Olympics, Kona, Lionel Sanders and the correct running technique when running in Crocs

This week's guest will be familiar to most of you, regardless of whether you're a committed triathlete or not. In fact along with his brother (a podcast guest in 2 weeks' time) they are two of the most famous, and popular, Yorkshiremen of the 21st century. This will be Alistair Brownlee's second time on the show, the first was just before his Kona debut in 2019.

In this conversation, you'll hear a different side to the Alistair that we have all come to know in the last 12 years as we chat about: Recapping Kona 2019, dealing with the pandemic, ankle injury, missing selection for the Olympics Enthusiasm for gravel riding, including 57 hours continuous riding at the Badlands epic in Spain The book - A 5-year project Surreal conversation in Ronnie O' Sullivan's mum's kitchen Denise Burton with some surprises about her mum, Beryl Burton Ian Botham on the torpedo and the tube Why the term 'genius' undermines the hard work that the best sportspeople put in on a daily basis Searching for the answer to “why do I do what I do?"

Najveća košarkaška predstava u Srbiji odigrana je u nedelju od devetnaest časova i završila se slavljem crveno-belih – ali nije to jedini jadranski basket događaj od vikenda! Dobro, nije jedini, ali realno jeste najbitniji. Zvezda je nastupila onako kako smo otprilike i očekivali od nje – čvrsto i beskompromisno. Partizan nije mogao da nađe put do njihovog koša veći deo utakmice, a u odbrani nije imao rešenje za vreću trikova Luke Mitrovića, MVP-jem ovog meča. Samo su Alen Smailagić i Dalas Mur doprineli neizvesnosti u nekim segmentima, inače možemo reći da je derbi u potpunosti pripao crveno-belima. Prvi pratioci „večitih“ na jadranskoj tabeli imali su takođe uspešan vikend. Budućnost je u lakom ritmu savladala Zadar, a možda je i najbitnija stavka ove utakmice povratak na parket Suada Šehovića, koji je to proslavio u njevogom stilu – sa tri trojke. Cedevita Olimpija, sa druge strane, je utakmicu počela u senci vesti da raskidaju saradnju sa Markusom Kinom, što ih nije omelo da u furioznoj završnici završe posao sa Mornarom. Barani tako ostaju na samo jednoj pobedi, a priče o doselekciji u lučkom gradu ne prestaju da tinjaju. Do nove pobede stigao je i FMP, koji je sa Derbijem odigrao jednu od najuzbudljivijih utakmica minulog vikenda. Čak 104 poena „Pantera“ bila su jedva dovoljna da se zaustavi podgorički novajlija, koji je pokleknuo tek u žestokom finišu kada su Radonjić i Nevels trojkama rešili pitanje pobednika. Nenad Stefanović je sada izvesno rani kandidat za zvanje trenera godine, a njegov tim ima komfornih 6-2 i visok plasman u ovoj ranoj fazi takmičenja. Utakmica Igokee i Mege predstavljali je svojevrsni mini-derbi plej-of aspiranata, i ekipa iz Laktaša se tu pokazala za sada umešnijom. Sve bolji Dalibor Ilić predvodio je saigrače do ubedljivog trijumfa protiv „fabrike“ iz Jerkovića, za koju odsustvo Boriše Simanića postaje sve veći problem. Poraze Zadra i Mornara iskoristio je Split, upisavši veliku pobedu na svom terenu protiv Krke. Konačno je proradio šut „žutih“, i deset pogođenih trojki, kao i dobra partija pod košem Karla Žganca, bili su presudni u ovom trijumfu – oslabljena Krka je došla bez Špana, Štergara i Stavrova, a tokom utakmice ostala i bez Frenča, pa njih budućnost brine više nego ovaj rezultat. I na kraju, tu je i utakmica Borac – Cibona – nismo videli lep, a ni kvalitetan meč kraj Morave, ali videli smo pobedu gostiju, i to je sve što je bitno. Cibona se vraća u gornji deo tabele, a Borac tone sve više, i Marko Marinović polako može da počne da se brine kako da trgne svoju letargičnu ekipu koja i dalje mnogo šutira, a ne toliko mnogo pogađa. Pogotovo mislimo na trojke ovde. Jadranskih tema, kao i svakog utorka, imamo na pretek. Ali ko je ušao u petorku kola, i koja će „himna“ biti intonirana na početku podkasta, za to po običaju morate da pogledate ceo podkast! I naravno, vidimo se u petak za nedelju dozu NBA novosti!

Košarka je, na kraju krajeva, kontaktni sport. Do kontakta uvek dođe, bude to u žaru borbe, bude nekad i malo grublje, nekad ovako, nekad onako, ali kontakta uvek ima. Ali, šta se desi kad kontakt bude nesmotren i pre svega podmukao, mogli smo da vidimo u utorak rano ujutru po našem vremenu kada je Nikola Jokić „uzvratio“ Markifu Morisu nakon što mu je ovaj imao najbolju nameru izvaliti rebra. Zvanični MVP nije dao na sebe i Moris se našao na parketu, a onda je, da citiramo jednog od Jokićevih omiljenih izvođača, „došlo do prekida filma, eto“. Dalje sve znate šta je bilo. Džimi Batler je urlao na pomoćno osoblje, ekipa Majamija čekala je Denverove igrače ispred svlačionice, braća Moris su lajala po Tviteru, braća Jokić su uzvratila (i za nepunih 24 sata skupili više od 50 hiljada pratilaca), Nikola je dobio jedan meč suspenzije, a svi već gledaju šta će biti dalje kad Denver bude igrao protiv Majamija i Los Anđeles Klipersa. Međutim, daleko da je to jedini „rijaliti“ ove nedelje u NBA. Konačno se desila i ta najavljivana „afera Sarver“, pa će Miloš i Edin popričati malo i o tome. A kao šlag na tortu, tu su i trejd scenariji za Bena Simonsa i Kajrija Irvinga, i uopšte se nećete iznenaditi kad čujete koja ekipe se spominju kao interesenti... Pregled lige je tu kao i po običaju, a neke ekipe su malo iskočile. Na istoku, lider tabele su trenutno Vašington Vizardsi koji igraju na jako visokom nivou. Tu su blizu Čikago, Bruklin i Filadelfija, dok su Majami i Njujork pomalo posustali. Klivlend, međutim, ne posustaje – oni i dalje igraju odlično, pa će biti malo više reči i o njima. Atlanta i Milvoki i dalje čekaju da se „podignu“, a Hoksi već polako brinu svoje navijače jer je skor 4-8 mimo očekivanja. U sličnoj „kaši“ je i Boston, a bolje dane najavljuju i Indijana Pejsersi. Na dnu, međutim, stare priče – Orlando i Detroit, iako se ovi prvi malo i zakoprcaju sa vremena na vreme. Na zapadu ništa novo, reklo bi se – Golden Stejt je i dalje ubedljivo prvi, ne samo u konferenciji već i u celoj ligi. Prva pratnja su Juta i Finiks, a aktuelni vicešampion je trenutno u jakoj seriji od šest uzastopnih pobeda. U odsustvu Diandrea Ejtona pojavio se tu Frenk Kaminski, uz naravno standardne Bukera, Pola i Bridžisa. „Digli“ su se i Los Anđeles Klipersi, u kojima Pol Džordž tiho igra gotovo MVP sezonu za sada. Dalas i Denver su „tu negde“, a Los Anđeles Lejkersi su već ovako rano u sezoni postali tim koji itekako vredi pratiti svaku utakmicu jer se na njihovim mečevima zaista svašta dešava, i jednako je verovatno da pobede Voriorse i izgube od Oklahome! Kad već pominjemo oklahomu, treba reći da imaju tri pobede u nizu i igraju malo iznad očekivanja. Sakramento, Memfis i Portland se pozicioniraju oko plej-in mesta, Minesota je očekivano pala posle odličnog starta, a San Antonio je i dalje „tu negde, okolo“. U „cirkusu“ ništa novo – Hjuston vuče niz od devet, a Nju Orleans od osam poraza, i ne deluje kao da će uskoro da se poprave. Od Zajona, inače, i dalje ni traga ni glasa... Uživajte u pregledu, a u utorak ide ABA!

Svakako, događaj kola bilo je već pomenuto gostovanje Partizana kraj Morave. Partizan je odigrao otprilike onako kako su nas navikli ove sezone – čvrstom, agresivnom odbranom slomio je plejmejkere domaćih, a zatim je poentirao uglavnom iz reketa. Šut spolja nije preterano služio crno-bele, ali nije ni Čačane, pa će „parni valjak“ nazad put Beograda sa celim plenom. I drugi „večiti rival“ nastavio je sa stabilnim partijama. Crveno-beli su imali napornu „duplu“ Evro-nedelju za sobom, ali su se oporavili preko vikenda, smogli snage i upisali pobedu protiv Mege. Raspoloženi za igru bili su pre svega Nejt Volters i Nikola Kalinić, ali „pojavio“ se tu i Marko Simonović koji je sa tri pogođene trojke u drugom poluvremenu otkravio ledene procente koje Zvezda ima u šutu poslednjih par mečeva. Dobru seriju nastavila je i podgorička Budućnost, koja je u crnogorskom derbiju kola ubedljivo porazila Mornar. Barani nikako da se trgnu i povežu redove – u Morači su isparirali prvo poluvreme, ali je njihov otpor bio sve slabiji kako je utakmica odmicala. Ponovo je odlično odigrao veteran Marko Jagodić Kuridža, ali Aleksandra Džikića sigurno raduje i ulazak Edina Atića u šutersku formu. Cedevita je u šesto kolo ušla u seriji od tri vezana poraza, čemu je u Laktašima došao kraj. Zaigrali su „sokići“ kao u najboljim danima, i baražom trojki izrešetali Igokeu trenera Dragana Bajića. Jurica Golemac je čini se našao dobar balans u trouglu Pulen-Kin-Blažič, a pomogao je ovaj put dobrom partijom i Melvin Edžam. FMP je nastavio sa svojim impresivnim nizom. Nakon poraza u prvom kolu u Podgorici, „Panteri“ Nenada Stefanovića vezuju i petu pobedu u nizu. U Železniku su prisutni imali priliku da uživaju u jako interesantnoj utakmici – monstruozno zakucavanje Izundua, kao i neki lepi potezi Brajsa Džonsa i Nenada Nerandžića obojili su novi trijumf ekipe iz predgrađa. Zadrani su se predstavili u boljem svetlu nego što smo ih gledali dosad, ali potrebno je mnogo više da se pobedi ovako raspevan FMP. Da je dvorana „Leon Štukelj“ jedno od najlegendarnijih mesta u regionalnoj košarci naučili su i momci iz Studentskog Centra. Kajl Vinjales je na svom debiju u Novom Mestu upoznao koliko su tvrdi obruči u toj hali ako ne nosite Krkin dres, a Rok Stipčević je predvodio domaće u još jednoj odličnoj pobedi. Posle šest kola, Krka deluje kao da im ove sezone opstanak neće predstavljati problem, ali ima još da se igra... Konačno, do prve pobede stigao je i Split. Nošen fantastičnom partijom Darka Baja (indeks 41!), „žuti“ su pokazali vrhunsku energiju i pobedili Cibonu, koja već neko vreme prikazuje pad forme. Trostruki prvak Evrope je ovom pobedom uručio „fenjer“ Mornaru, do daljnjega jedinoj ABA ekipi bez pobede na kontu. Naravno, samo za vas Miloš i Edin biraju petorku kola, i sve ostalo šta se od njih navikli. Loše analize, još gori humor, a koja pesma ide na početku...e, pa moraćete da kliknete da bi saznali. I ne zaboravite, u petak je NBA!

Saturday Partly cloudy in the morning.  Started to drizzle off and on around 4.  By 8 there was a steady rain and 8:23 a notification went out that the bike was cut to 56 miles (1 lap instead of 2).  Transition would open at 5 instead of 4:30. Sunday Driving across the Tower bridge to Sutter Health Ball Park (Transition) the rain was pouring. Some athletes were walking across the bridge in the driving rain.  The parking lot was a lake.  I was shocked that they hadn't cancelled the race yet.  Matt put his wetsuit on in the car and then we tried to find dry ground to walk on to get to the park entrance.  and we Wes from Pro Bike Express had to move his truck 2 or 3 times to higher ground.  It was pouring and so I handed him his bags, wished him luck, and told him I'd see him at the swim exit.  The athletes would be shuttled up river.  As I headed back to the car, the wind blew my umbrella inside out and I worried about Matt. I drove back across the bridge to a parking garage to stay out of the rain until closer to the start.  The plan was to bundle up and watch the swim exit.  At 6:30 I received a text from Matt "it's cancelled".  Matt explained later that a volunteer came on the bus and made the announcement.  I was meanwhile in traffic coming back across the bridge to the ball park to pick him up.  Thank goodness he had Pro Bike Express to give his bike to.  I felt terrible for the athletes walking or riding their bikes across the bridge. The athletes received an email from IRONMAN later in the day:   Dear 2021 IRONMAN California Athlete,   As shared with you earlier, we are beyond disappointed that the 2021 IRONMAN California triathlon could not take place due to unprecedented weather conditions in Sacramento and northern California on Sunday.

The USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team is a group of dedicated individuals who are committed to raising awareness for the USA Triathlon Foundation and its mission, which is transforming lives through sport by opening pathways to swimming, biking, and running for all. The application window runs from Oct 15th through Nov 5th.   The ambassador team is based around the everyday triathlete who has a passion for giving back. Through local service projects, community outreach activities and beginner triathlon clinics, ambassadors embody the goals of the USA Triathlon Foundation: to support and promote triathlon, and to open pathways to triathlon to those for whom it might not otherwise be possible.   Outreach activities will support one of the Foundation's three key focus areas: encouraging every child to participate, inspiring adaptive athletes to get involved, and igniting athletes' dreams of competing at the Olympic or Paralympic Games.   “The impact our ambassadors have had in growing and supporting the sport of triathlon in their local communities, as well as at national and world events, is a testament to the passion and dedication the multisport family displays on a daily basis.” said Laura Goodwin, Foundation Development and Program Coordinator for the USA Triathlon Foundation. “We look forward to growing both the influence and outreach of the Ambassador team as we field the largest team yet this year.”   Ambassador team members will participate in service projects on-site at the 2022 Toyota Legacy Triathlon in Long Beach, Calif., on July 15-17 and the Toyota USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships in Milwaukee on August 6-7. Service projects will support local triathlon communities and multisport-focused charities in each host city.     What's New in the 303:   Colorado's Newest Safety Stop Community On October 19, Manitou Springs became the latest Colorado community to adopt the Safety Stop! Bicyclists in Manitou can now treat stop signs as yield signs and stop lights as stop signs when the coast is clear. John Graham, the Mayor of Manitou Springs said in a statement, “Creating an environment where our roads are more comfortable for everyone—at no cost to the taxpayers—is a great achievement for the City of Manitou Springs, and we hope to see other municipalities follow suit in the future.”   Congratulations to the residents of Manitou Springs!   We're excited to see more communities in Colorado passing this common-sense ordinance. We're gearing up for the 2022 legislative session, where we're fighting to pass a law that would standardize the Safety Stop across the state.   The Safety Stop Several Colorado communities allow bicyclists to perform the Safety Stop, a safer way for people on bikes to cross at intersections when they have the right of way. The maneuver allows people riding bicycles to:   treat stop signs as yield signs. treat red lights as stop signs. The Safety Stop does not impact the current right-of-way. People on bicycles can proceed straight, right, or left at a reasonable speed of no more than 15 miles per hour only when the coast is clear.

“When people are passionate, they will respond, either negatively or positively. If they don't respond at all, that means they didn't give a crap. Be yourself, keep writing content that drives response,” says Bob Babbitt, the IRONMAN Hall of Fame inductee while reminiscing on the best advice he received as a young triathlon journalist. In a wide ranging conversation with Eric Gilsenan on the Beyond Podcast, the two friends discuss Bob's childhood in North Chicago, racing his first IRONMAN in Hawaii in 1980, and how he became involved with supporting challenged athletes.

EDSA principal Kona Gray says he stumbled upon landscape architecture, and for the past 25 years, he's been a crucial voice in creating immersive environments for  resorts to senior living facilities and everything in between. One of Gray's initiatives is bringing more people of color into the field, where less than 10 percent of graduating landscape architects are BIPOC. He believes that everyone is meant to have good landscape architecture no matter the cost. It's a view that fits into his definition of success: being a good, kind person who gives back. “Having a fantastic landscape makes you a better person,” he says. “It's simple and we overlook it despite walking through it all day. These are things that are integral to human survival.”

Vysoké školy odmietajú zmeny ministra Gröhlinga a hrozia štrajkom. Učitelia už druhý rok čakajú na sľúbené zvýšenie platov, no odpoveď stále nemajú. Pôjdu teda vysoké školy do ulíc? Čo znamená ich obava, že stratia svoju autonómiu? Čo hovoria odborári a učitelia na budúcoročný školský rozpočet a čakajú nás ďalšie štrajky? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s rektorom Univerzity Komenského Marekom Števčekom, šéfom školských odborov Pavlom Ondekom a prezidentom Slovenskej Komory učiteľov Vladimírom Crmomanom.

This week we have another all British show! We're talking to Tim Don—the Olympian and former Ironman world record holder is maybe best known these days as "the man with the halo," after breaking his neck when he was hit by a car in Kona and spending months in a halo device that was screwed into his skull and held his neck in place. He came back from that to run the Boston Marathon and race Kona. Now we talk about all the things he's involved in: serving as a team captain for Super League, a back-up guide for the Paralympics, and don't count him out yet at the age of 43, he's training in the UK rain and getting ready for next year's races. He's also a dad and his kids interrupt us a couple times, because they want to play! We also first do a quick preview of the showdown going on this weekend at Ironman California and why the pros are battling for end-of-year rankings. For more questions with Tim, check out our Q&A on Super League and what's next at Triathlete. This week's episode is brought to you by Muc-Off, the world's fastest race lube.

British professional triathletes and training partners Joe Skipper and Sam Proctor join us in conversation this week. There's plenty of banter and chat as we cover all things training, recovery, data, balance, teamwork, emotions and Michael Phelps. The banter starts right away. You'll hear: 19:35 How they met 20:37 What it's really like training with Joe "There's a lot of tempo isn't there?!" 'Joe's philosophy in life is how many people can I kill through training' Sam says. "But I enjoy it and because we are different, we compliment each other well. There are some laughs, some good coffee breaks. We have a really good time." 24:05 Self coached Vs Having a coach. Joe has been mainly self coached while Sam prefers to have a coach and has been working with Mark Pearce for over 5 years. 32:30 'I cant fault Joe, Joe is a really good friend and he has always helped me and supported me.' 34:40 We talk about Joe wearing his heart on his sleeve and he admits he probably is one of the most emotional athletes out there. 'When you cross the line, the mixture of fatigue that just wears you down gets me really emotional and it happens a lot, especially when I have had a big race and I have had to push so hard. It really grinds you down. I'm not an emotional person at all in normal every day life.'' Sam says: "People don't realise Joe can go into this place where others would pull the pin. He can push through that and I think that's why the emotion comes out." 52:22 Joe's mental strength and why it makes a huge difference across the Ironman distance. 'he is thinking so hard, and doing so well. He is in an 8 hour race and he is always on it and that's what makes him once of the best athletes. It's always your mind that gives up before your body.' Sam says. 54:40 Analysing data and why Joe doesn't spend much time on training peaks. 'I never look at my training on Training Peaks. It uploads onto there, but I don't do anything with it.' 57:00 Why Sam reckons Joe could be like Michael Phelps in the pool. 57:30 Joe's hopes to do some training with Lionel Sanders and Sam Long. 1:00:10 Joe's thoughts on why the Ironman World Championships should rotate away from Kona. "it's a massive boost for me in St George as it will be a lot cooler than Kona. I think the course for me is a lot better than Hawaii. I will have a lot better chance in St George. It will be my best chance so far. 1:02:15 I wouldn't care who I was beating to become World Champion. But Jan Frodeno would be one person I would love to beat to become World Champion, because of the reputation he has and it would give it a lot more credibility if you beat him to become World Champion. 1:06:10 Sam's hopes to get back on the start line of an Ironman soon Find out more about this week's guests Joe Skipper https://www.instagram.com/notanotheraveragejoe/?hl=en (Instagram) Sam Proctor https://www.instagram.com/samproctortri/?hl=en (Instagram) Like what you heard?

We're back after a short break, and we'll be bringing you weekly interviews for a couple more months as we finish out the season before the new year. This week we're talking to the 5th place finisher at 70.3 Worlds, Canadian Jackson Laundry. Jackson had a horrific crash at Worlds in Nice two years ago, shattering his scapula, took six months to get back, and then COVID hit. He tells us all about why he almost quit the sport six years ago, what he's done to take things to this next level, and how he's getting ready for his first ever Ironman this weekend in Mallorca—and then getting married the weekend after. (Yes, we discuss how this could go wrong.) Jackson and host, Kelly O'Mara, also chat about the tachycardia they both have and the experience of having your heart rate go nuts while exercising—but a warning: both of them have seen extensive doctors for tests and diagnosis, if you're experiencing any issues, go to a doctor. We'll have that whole chat with Jackson after a debrief about the latest triathlon news with Laura Siddall. Sid is back for Sid Talks: the great Kona v. St. George debate, the races to keep your eye on at the end of the year here, and the year-end PTO rankings. This week's episode is brought to you by Muc-Off, the world's fastest race lube.

It Strengthens Your Joints. Numerous studies have shown that, contrary to what your sedentary friends may sometimes argue, running does not cause arthritis. New research shows, in fact, that running may actually help strengthen your joints against future wear and tear, says Jean-Francois Esculier, leader of research and development for The Running Clinic (headquartered near Montreal, Canada) and a medical professor at the University of British Columbia.   In a Sept. 3 paper in Sports Medicine, Esculier's team examined 43 studies that had used MRI to measure the effect of running on cartilage. One major finding of these studies, he says, was that the impact from running squeezes water out of cartilage and into the underlying bone. That means that an MRI taken immediately after running will show a decrease in cartilage thickness. So, Esculier says, “If you want to say running is bad, you can show a study that shows it reduces the thickness of the cartilage.” But the effect is transient and harmless, he says, because the moment you finish your run, the cartilage begins to reabsorb water and expand back to normal. “It only takes an hour,” he says. In fact, he says, running may actually be beneficial. Historically, Esculier says, doctors, researchers, and runners were taught that cartilage simply is what it is, and won't respond to training. “But we now know that cartilage can adapt,” he says. “Even with novice runners, after only 10 weeks, you see changes in cartilage so that it can actually tolerate more load.” What's happening, he says, is a side-effect of having fluid squeezed out of the cartilage into the underlying bone. When it comes back, he says, it brings with it nutrients that feed the cartilage and make it stronger. “So not only is running not bad for your joints, it's actually good for your joints,” he says. It isn't just beginners whose joints can strengthen with use. Studies of more experienced runners, he says, suggest that they have developed cartilage that is more resistant to the type of impacts seen in running than that of non-runners. One of the more dramatic studies looked at competitors in the TransEurope FootRace, a 4,486-kilometer mountain run (2,787 miles) that went from Sicily to northern Scandinavia in 64 days. A team of scientists followed the runners, using a portable MRI to assess them every 900 kilometers or so. Amazingly, Esculier says, they found not only that the competitors didn't have cartilage damage, but that their cartilage adapted during the race. About Bill's friend London Marathon - Raphael Pacheco Deb Connelly - Monday Running   What's New in the 303: Small Town America at the Heart of Gravel Racing? The Rad Dirt in Trinidad Shows Us Why Posted on October 5, 2021 By Becky Furuta If the heart of gravel racing is the wild west of cycling – where the rules are few and weirdness is welcomed instead of scrutinized – small town America is its soul. The lure of gravel racing is in the long, off-road adventure. It's tricky trails and hellacious hills and mud so thick it's like riding through peanut butter and rolling roads with expansive views. It's dust and limestone chunks and pea gravel that bury your tires like quicksand. Due in part to its grassroots heritage, gravel remains the antidote to the technology-driven, aggressive and often super-competitive mentality of road cycling. Most of today's gravel grinders began as small-scale events, and often with no entry fees. Despite their growth, they're dripping with the same low-key attitude that attracted participants in the first place. Small towns and gravel are perfectly paired. A convergence of factors have fueled gravel's popularity, but all speak to quiet country roads with little traffic and natural scenery. The character of these towns shape the events and the way they unfold. Trinidad, Colorado is no exception. And the quirky town on the New Mexico border may well become one of gravel's new hotspots. The small city of 9000 residents was founded in 1862 after rich coal seams were discovered in the region. By 1910, Trinidad was a company town. Colorado Fuel and Iron operated the largest steel mills in the West, and dozens of mines, coke ovens and transportation lines cropped up to support local industry. CF&I created small communities for the workers they recruited to come from Europe, believing they were less likely to try and organize. To the contrary, this led to one of the darkest chapters in American labor history. Just a few miles north of Trinidad in the Spring of 1914, Union organizer Louis Tikas and 20 others were killed in a violent company crackdown known as the Ludlow Massacre. It was a bloody insurrection that occurred in protest of brutal working conditions. Three of the victims – a woman and her two children – suffocated in the dirt pit where they were hiding. By the 1920s, the coal industry was fading but Trinidad found a new, strange prosperity when mobster Al Capone and his family took the town during prohibition. They were able to easily blend in with local Italian families who continued to call the city home. Lavish hotels, a Carnegie library, an Opera House and the oldest synagogue in the state of Colorado cropped up in what would be called “the Victorian jewel of Southern Colorado.” Just having dirt alone isn't enough to make Trinidad a gravel success story. Part of an event's draw is the community itself, and how well they embrace the cyclists who come to visit. It's about the community and the culture, the adventure and the Instagram images of rolling hills and farmland. It's about getting people to drive hours in search of something different. Trinidad seems to understand all of that. City Council members greeted riders at the start and the finish. Restaurants enthusiastically marketed to gravel tourists. (Just ask me about the singing waiters at Rino Italian Restaurant downtown.) The route featured unique terrain you won't find at other gravel events. Only time will tell if Trinidad's next identity is built around bikes and outdoor tourism, but judging by the reactions of participants in The Rad Dirt Fest, it's right on track. Trinidad, like so many other rural communities, may well become a town transformed by bikes.     Video Of The Week: Ironman Chattanooga 2021 Highlights   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley are chatting with rookie pro triathlete Tara Grosvner. Tara made the leap up to the pro ranks in 2019 after quickly progressing through the age group field in the seasons prior. She talks about her decision to get her pro card, and how different it is racing as an elite. Tara has had a busy season of racing in 2021, including four top 10 finishes at the Ironman and 70.3 distances, and a Kona qualification slot at Ironman Tulsa. Tara didn't grow up as an athlete, she found sport later in life after her boss suggested she should seek out a healthier lifestyle. This started with a goal to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, training with a local climbing group in London on the weekends, and has now evolved to her becoming a full-time professional athlete. Tara talks through the evolution of her athletic career, and explains how things have changed for her since becoming a full time athlete and hiring a coach this summer.

There has been BIG news in the world of Ironman-branded racing this month. Sika Henry -- friend of the podcast and Outspoken: Women in Triathlon alumna -- made history by starting (and finishing!) as the first African American female pro at Ironman 70.3 Augusta. As much as we're thrilled for Sika, we're still frustrated. We have a love-hate relationship with Ironman-branded racing. After moving the traditionally held Ironman World Championship from October 2021 to February 2022 in Kona, the race has now been moved again -- to May 2022 in St. George, Utah. (Insert mind-blowing, incredulous, and confused faces here!) Age-group athletes who were already registered for St. George woke up realizing they'll now be racing amongst the greats, while Shaunna and Lisa woke up wondering if the “equitable” outcomes were an undercard to bottom-line profits in the middle of a pandemic. We suggest that Ironman has tripped into equity accidentally rather than walking (or RUNNING!) into equity intentionally. During this week's episode, we dissect the two notions of equitable outcomes and equitable processes in Ironman-branded racing. Were equal slots for pro women a happenstance outcome of COVID-changes? Will women get a cleaner race as an unintended outcome? Will a trip to Utah be more financially accessible than a trip to Hawaii for U.S. athletes? We are skeptical and pragmatic at best. Listen in to hear how we think COVID-19 has bullied Ironman into what Ironman CEO Andrew Messick describes as a “unique and historic” year of racing. We'll see how this plays out next year as Utah also prepares its bid to host a second Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games, possibly as soon as 2030 with Ironman to vouch for its ability to host an internationally acclaimed event. https://www.sltrib.com/sports/2021/09/23/ironman-world/ https://www.sltrib.com/sports/2021/07/24/salt-lake-city-hosting/
