Ned sits down with Brad Plett, a father of four and full-time missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Kona, Hawaii. Brad opens up about his journey through a dark season of anxiety, shame, and guilt in his early years of fatherhood, and how discovering his identity as a son of God transformed not only his life but his entire family's trajectory.- 00:00:00 - Welcome to Brad Plett- 00:03:00 - 25 Years of Marriage: Keys to Longevity- 00:10:00 - Identity Before Function- 00:14:00 - Walking Through a Dark Season- 00:25:00 - The Power of Humility and Community- 00:27:00 - Marriage: Fighting Through to Deep Connection- 00:30:00 - Women Carrying the Torch: A Call for Men to Pray- 00:33:00 - Life with Four Kids: Ages 4 to 17- 00:38:00 - The Role of the Father: Imparting Identity- 00:41:00 - Why Compliant Kids Won't Change the World- 00:50:00 - Legacy: Raising Kids Who Know Their Identity

The government has announced an independent inquiry into repeated failings in maternity services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Earlier this year, a BBC investigation revealed that the deaths of at least 56 babies and two mothers over the past five years at the Trust could perhaps have been avoided. BBC correspondent Divya Talwar joins Nuala McGovern, alongside Lauren Caulfield and Amarjit Kaur Matharoo, who both tragically lost their babies while receiving care at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. This month, the Ironman World Championships were held in Kona, Hawaii, where Britain's Kat Matthews won silver. The men's and women's championships, previously held simultaneously, were split into separate events in 2023. However, they are set to reunite next year. Questions have been raised about the impact this change may have on female competitors. To discuss the championships and celebrate Kat's achievement, Nuala is joined by Kat Matthews and Jordan Blanco, a contributor to Triathlete magazine who attended the event. A new report reveals that progress towards gender equity in the architecture profession still remains too slow. Inequalities remain deeply rooted — with pay disparities, toxic and exclusionary workplace cultures, and half of female respondents surveyed said they had been bullied, and a third had experienced sexual harassment at work. Nuala hears from Valerie Vaughan-Dick, Chief Executive of Royal Institute of British Architects, and Helen Lee who was the project architect on a social housing development in London for the elderly which has just won this year's Stirling Prize for Architecture. The Essex witch trials represent one of the darkest chapters in British history. A new Sky History series, Witches of Essex, revisits the real lives of women accused of witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries, drawing on newly examined court records and the latest historical research. Historian Dr Eleanor Janega joins Nuala to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

This week on Talking Triathlon we go deep on one of the most unforgettable races in recent memory, the Women's Ironman World Championship in Kona. With Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb both blowing up in the brutal heat, Solveig Løvseth storming to victory, and Kat Matthews mounting an incredible late charge, this race had everything. We unpack all the drama, tactics, and turning points, and ask the question everyone's thinking: was this the greatest Ironman World Championship ever?

Support us on DiscourseAs Gareth mentioned, Discourse is our "sponsorship", our sole source of income. But it's way more than that - it's a community of experts and enthusiasts who share knowledge on everything sports science related. To become part of that, become a Patron of the site and join the conversationShow notesThis week on Spotlight, we dive DEEP into the world of physiology, pacing, fatigue and the brain. Using some enthralling races from Kona and Chicago at the weekend, and your Discourse questions and comments, we explore how pacing 'errors' happens, and the physiological consequences of those mistakes. We kick off of with our Discourse Digest segment (00:00) and news that Femke Bol will take a swing at the 800m next year. An exciting development, but what will it involve in terms of training and tactics, and what can we expect from the Dutch star?We then move on to the Chicago Marathon (15:56), won by Jacob Kiplimo, emerging as a real star of the Marathon. His success contained a very specific type of "failure" though, as he was on course to break the World Record right up to 35km, and then...physiology hit. Ross explains how fragile pacing is for elite marathoners, and why physiology collected on its 'loan' for Kiplimo. Another physiological "failure" happened in the Kona Ironman (29:26) where Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb raced so aggressively that they first rode and then ran each other to the point of proverbial physiological destruction. We explore how pacing in the context of a warm day caused those dramatic scenes.In Centre Stage (44:57), it's all about the carbs. Tim Noakes has a paper arguing that you need only 10g/h of glucose during exercise. He uses his "Central Governor" model to explain how the brain is monitoring and regulating blood glucose level to protect the brain, such that the 90g per hour or more being consumed by elites is wasteful and unnecessary, part of an 'old model'. We don't see it the same way, and Ross explains concepts of regulation of performance by the brain, a subject he did his PhD thesis on. We discuss heat, altitude, and fuel, to unpack how the truth behind fatigue, performance and pacing regulation, unlocking more insight on those pacing implosions in Chicago and Kona.In Ross Replies (1:06:59), listener Ian asks a great question about using data from a specific test where you lie down then stand up, and use HR to tell you how recovered you are. Ross explains why that test exists, its limitations, and offers tips for how to make more of data, while avoiding some traps.And Finally (1:21:31), we see again that cycling is allergic to the truth, Gareth learns the truth about NZ Rugby Representation, and we tip our hats to Natalie Grabow.LinksA race report from that dramatic Kona women's raceThe full Taylor Knibb statementThe Noakes TweetRoss' PhD thesis on Anticipatory RegulationArticle on orthostatic testing for HR and HRVThe Six who Sat podcast that Gareth mentioned on the show Hosted on Acast.

This past weekend was HUGE for endurance events, and we started with the most important one: the Hartford Marathon! Allison reported to us how it went, gave us the details on the course, and described the challenges she faced. We then talked about the Chicago Marathon, where among other things, Conner Mantz set a new American record in the men's marathon. We then touched on a few of the other things we tracked this weekend, including the Kodiak 100, the Ironman World Championship in Kona, and the Athlos Games!

On October 11, 2025, Natalie Grabow made history: at 80 years old, she became the oldest woman ever to finish the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona — crossing the line in 16:45:26.In this episode, I get real about our journey together — how we built this result, what it takes to stay competitive with age, and how her mindset, training, and perseverance make her a standout. We unpack:

What a race! Today we go through our observations of the Kona Women's World Championship. We start with some intriguing swim strategies, get into decision making on the bike, and look at what might have gone wrong from the leaders in the run. It was a fascinating day and we get into the concept of going wire to wire. Mental pressure. Working together. How smart can you be. And why it clearly ain't over till it's over.

First, we break down the Supertri Toulouse Grand Final, where Jeanne Lehair continued her incredible season with another dominant win and Csongor Lehmann came out on top in a thrilling men's race. Then we turn our attention to the Ironman World Championship in Kona, previewing the women's race and all the major contenders. We go through favourites like Lucy Charles-Barclay, Kat Matthews, Laura Philipp and Taylor Knibb, sharing our predictions, how we think the race will unfold, and what each of the big names needs to do to take the title.   To support the podcast please head to: patreon.com/talkingtriathlon To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://bit.ly/3vzSss2  Or check us out on Social Media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingtriathlon You can follow James at https://www.instagram.com/bale.james85 You can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14

The biggest Pro Tri News show ever, filmed live in front of over 200 triathlon fans! This live show captured the energy, chaos, and heart of race week at the Ironman World Championship 2025. We break down the pro women's field, preview race day predictions, and share behind-the-scenes stories from the island.From big laughs to bold hot takes, this is the raw, unfiltered version of triathlon media.

In the final pre-race episode from Kona, host Matt Lieto sits down with three more top contenders: the relaxed and ready India Lee, Kona rookie Solveig Løvseth, and defending IRONMAN World Champion Laura Philipp.First, India Lee shares her dramatically different approach to this year's championship. Contrasting her current fun-loving, lighthearted mindset with the stress she felt at last year's race in Nice, she explains why surrounding herself with a great group of friends is key to her performance. As a Kona first-timer, her primary goal is to finish, embrace the experience, and learn as much as possible for the future.Next, Solveig Løvseth discusses her incredible debut year in long-course triathlon. After a spontaneous decision to switch from short-course racing, she reflects on what she's learned from her first two IRONMAN events and how she has recovered from the grueling effort. With her coach Mikal Iden guiding her, Solveig is excited to be part of the sport's growth and hopes to execute her own patient race plan on Saturday.Finally, defending World Champion Laura Philipp talks about the "very special" feeling of returning to Kona wearing bib number one. To avoid the burnout that can follow a championship season, she has raced a lighter, more strategic schedule this year, allowing her to arrive fresh and focused. Preparing for what she expects to be a "lonely chase race," Laura has also implemented a more rigorous heat-training protocol for the first time, hoping it will be the key to defending her title on the island.

We say a prayer for Greg as he soon heads to Southeast Asia to ride his bike between historical temples and famous night spots.  Kona is ON and we chat to Bianca Connor who is on the island just 48 hours away from the cannon sounding along with 1500 AG females from around the world ready to take on the hardest single day endurance event on the planet, the IRONMAN World Championships Hawaii. Talkback is back, Melbourne Marathon, The Gong and Laidlow for Busso IRONMAN?  Cast your votes people, which theme song are we running with 1 or 2? Join the Tribe www.koasports.com.au

On Day 4 of the Kona Daily Pods, we sit down with two of the sport's greatest champions — Daniela Ryf and Mirinda Carfrae — joined by host Jenny Fletcher to talk through the mental side of winning in Kona, how Lucy Charles finally broke through, and who they believe will rise as the next Ironman World Champion.The conversation dives deep into:

In this episode from the IRONMAN World Championship Kona, host Matt Lieto sits down with three remarkable athletes ahead of the Women's IRONMAN World Championship: Skye Moench, Hannah Berry, and Stephanie Clutterbuck.  First, Skye Moench returns to the Big Island with a completely new perspective. Now a mother to her 11-month-old, she shares how her life has profoundly changed, shifting from an “obsessive” focus on results to a “freeing” sense of gratitude. Skye opens up about the challenging journey back to fitness postpartum and explains why her only goal is to cross the finish line, respecting what her body has been through. She also expresses her excitement for the women's-only race and the special camaraderie she feels with fellow mothers on the course.  Next, New Zealand's Hannah Berry discusses her steady progression at World Championship events, moving from 11th in Kona two years ago to 10th in Nice last year. Coming into this race with a smooth, injury-free build, Hannah talks about her love for the Hawaiian heat and humidity. She details her calculated racing style, which balances a data-driven plan with the crucial ability to race by feel—a strategy she believes is key to navigating the unpredictable dynamics of a championship race.  Finally, Stephanie Clutterbuck shares an incredibly powerful and inspiring story of resilience. She opens up about a terrifying year-long health battle that included a diagnosis of myocarditis (heart inflammation) and POTS, a condition that affects the nervous system. Stephanie explains how this journey has forced her to re-learn her body's limits and adopt a more sensible, calculated approach to racing. For her, success on Saturday isn't about a place, but about managing her condition, executing a smart race, and finishing with a strong second half of the marathon.

In this episode of the IRONMAN Insider, host Matt Lieto is joined by two top contenders for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona: Taylor Knibb and Lisa Perterer.First, Taylor Knibb offers a candid look into her race week mindset, emphasizing her need for quiet and solitude to conserve her high energy for race day. She reveals her love for reading as a key distraction, sharing that her current non-fiction pick is Mastery. Taylor reflects on the “naivety” that helped her in her first Kona race and discusses how a humbling experience at IRONMAN Texas has given her a “healthy dose of fear and respect” for the distance. While she remains focused on her own process, she shares a key tactical insight learned from Daniela Ryf's 2018 course record: the race can be won on the challenging return from Hawi.Next, first-time Kona competitor Lisa Perterer shares her excitement about finally experiencing the legendary race atmosphere. The Austrian powerhouse, who thrives in hot and humid conditions, is hoping for a challenging day. Lisa reflects on a tough past year and how she has rediscovered the joy in racing, an attitude that was on full display when she received a penalty at IRONMAN Lake Placid but continued to smile and wave to the crowd. While she still has goals of a top-five or even a podium finish, her primary focus is on having a “solid day” to defend her third-place position in the IRONMAN Pro Series standings.

In this episode, host Matt Lieto sits down with 2024 Pro Series winner Kat Matthews and IRONMAN World Champion Chelsea Sodaro, who each share powerful stories of overcoming adversity to make it to the Kona start line.First, Kat Matthews opens up about the immense psychological challenges she faced in her last Kona appearance. She reveals that she was dealing with hidden "post traumatic stress" from her near-fatal accident, which led to irrational fear and ultimately contributed to her race-day struggles. Now, having worked through that trauma, she returns to the island feeling happy, confident, and prepared. With her training numbers better than ever, Kat is motivated by the rising level of competition and is unequivocally here with one goal in mind: to win.Next, Chelsea Sodaro discusses her "really crazy year" of setbacks, including catching "every preschool virus one can get" from her daughter and suffering a torn calf. These challenges forced her to make a gritty, late-season trip to IRONMAN Kalmar in Sweden to validate her spot, an experience she describes as incredibly difficult. Despite the lack of consistency in her preparation, Chelsea reflects on her identity as a gritty, determined athlete who always gives everything on race day, and she is ready to do the same on the island that "makes me feel alive."

In this episode from Kona, host Matt Lieto sits down with three athletes with incredible stories: defending World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay, the resilient Lotte Wilms, and breakout star Marjolaine Pierré.First, Lucy Charles-Barclay reflects on returning to the island as the reigning champion, a title that has lifted a “massive weight” off her shoulders and allows her to race with less pressure. She opens up for the first time about the severity of the injury she sustained during her 2023 victory—a 14cm calf tear that left her in "agony" with every stride but gave her a new level of mental and physical resilience. After her most consistent and healthy year of training to date, Lucy is confident and excited to see what she can do on race day.Next, Lotte Wilms shares the story of her challenging season, which began with a debilitating bout of shingles—an illness she had never even heard of before. She details her methodical, 12-week recovery process and how she has managed subsequent health issues while preparing for Kona away from the distractions on the island of Maui. Despite the setbacks, Lotte is focused on finishing her race and seeing what she is capable of on Saturday.Finally, Marjolaine Pierré talks about the powerful emotions of racing in Kona for the first time, a place that feels like a "hometown race" due to its similarity to her childhood home on Reunion Island.

Takže Velká říjnová proletářská revoluce se odkládá na neurčito. Češi kupodivu volili umírněně a komunistické Stačilo se nedostalo do Poslanecké sněmovny, a Okamurovo SPD už třetí volby po sobě výrazně oslabilo. Hlavními poraženými voleb jsou ti, kdo chtěli změnu režimu a vystoupení z EU a NATO. Češi ukázali, že je jim bližší haškovský „mírný pokrok v mezích zákona“.Nezvítězily také reminiscence na komunistickou éru, zato měkké verze socialismu se nejspíš dočkáme. Heslo „kroužkování je naše zbrojení“ probíhalo na tolika rovinách (muži versus ženy, mladí versus staří), že řada předsedů politických stran se teprve nyní seznamuje s novými členy svých poslaneckých klubů. Téměř šedesát procent lidí ve sněmovně bude zcela nových, takže bude trvat dva až tři roky, než se stanou funkční součástí této komory parlamentu. Politické strany budou muset zvážit, jak sestavovat kandidátky, aby nebyly překvapovány tím, že se jim do parlamentu dostanou nezkušení nováčci.Otázka cirkulace a výběru vhodných kandidátů v politických stranách bude velkým tématem příštích let. V další části se věnujeme směřování Česka pod vládou Babiše II. To, jak mohou ovlivnit jeho rozhodování koaliční Motoristé a Okamurova SPD. A především: myslí Andrej Babiš svou hospodářskou politiku skutečně vážně? Odkud chce získat stovky miliard korun na své předvolební sliby?

Hvordan har det egentlig vært å føde gjennom tidene? Torgrim Sørnes, pensjonert gynekolog og overlege fra Ahus med sterk interesse for (makaber) historie, tar oss gjennom den lite romantiske utviklingen. Han forteller om «jordmødre» som også var dyrleger, og gikk rett fra fjøset til fødestua, brenning av morkaker og betaling per fødsel – en tidlig variant av innsatsstyrt finansiering. Vi hører om barn født i kista etter begravelser, mirakeltrær for dåp etter død og fødselstanga som var en gladnyhet få ville bruke. Det handler om kontrollkultur og «bestefarparagrafen», overtro og masse, masse bakterier. En ærlig, mørk, morsom og lærerik reise. Hva var verre før? Hva var bedre? Hosted on Acast.

This week we dive into a packed show, starting with a look at the Kona “wild cards,” the women outside the obvious favourites who could still make a big impact on race day. We then turn to Jan Frodeno, who swapped triathlon for trail and did something special at the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB, winning his age group over the 55 km course in his debut appearance. In race results we cover Ironman Chattanooga, the XTERRA World Championships, and Ironman Wales before recapping WTCS Weihai where Max Studer and Beth Potter took the wins. Finally, we look ahead to Supertri Toulouse and ask the big questions: can anyone stop Jeanne Lehair, and is Vasco Vilaça on track to win the entire series?

Steve Oldham is CEO of Captura. Captura develops Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology that removes CO₂ from seawater, triggering the ocean to draw more CO₂ from the air to rebalance. With CO₂ concentrations ~150× higher in seawater than air, Captura's closed-loop process uses electrodialysis to create acid and base on site—no added chemicals, no waste—and can run largely on off-peak renewable energy. Oldham, former CEO of Carbon Engineering, contrasts DOC with DAC, discusses MRV and crediting, deployment pathways (onshore, barges, vessels), his company's pilot progress in Hawaii, and why pragmatic scale-up and licensing partnerships matter for gigaton carbon removal. Episode recorded on Aug 28, 2025 (Published on Sept 30, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [02:17] Steve's path from Carbon Engineering to Captura[05:30] How Direct Ocean Capture actually works[09:10] Closed-loop design with no waste products[10:14] Using electrodialysis to split acid and base[13:12] Deployment options: onshore plants, barges, vessels[14:39] Running on off-peak and curtailed renewables[16:30] Measuring and crediting carbon drawdown[21:53] Balancing CO₂ use vs. permanent storage[25:22] Policy gaps like 45Q for ocean removal[35:15] Captura's Kona pilot built in 70 days[37:33] First commercial project expected in Europe Enjoyed this episode?
