Podcasts about outspoken women

I'm so excited about this, my second episode of Outspoken Women. In it I'm joined by the incredibly inspiring and kind entrepreneur, businesswoman, Dragon and TV personality, Sara Davies MBE.I first met Sara when she was giving the most uplifting and motivating talk to a room of 700 Avon representatives. She covered so many topics from how to make your business a success to how to juggle all the demands that life makes on us as women. As I scribbled copious notes I KNEW I had to get her on the podcast. Well the rest is history and she's here to I hope motivate you in the same way as she has done me. During the episode we chat about Sara's love for beauty and how her Mum started her skincare journey. Sara also tells us about how she navigates Mum guilt, how she built her hugely successful business Crafter's Companion from scratch and made it a success when she was a student, why we need to fake it til we make it and how we need to own the decisions that we make and never look back.What a woman and I feel SO lucky that I can share her wisdom with you here.Enjoy this Outspoken Beauties x

Most of us, even if we're very active, are not moving our bodies the way nature designed them to move. We exercise plenty. We also sit plenty. We wear shoes that don't help keep our feet strong or our posture properly aligned. That can set the stage for aches, pains, and injuries, especially during this time of life when our joints are more vulnerable. This week we talk with movement coach Petra Fisher about the small daily adjustments we can make and exercises we can do to enhance mobility, decrease pain, and improve performance. Petra is a movement coach, body nerd and recovering lawyer. She is certified in Restorative Exercise, MovNat and Functional Range Conditioning. Petra's mission in life is to help women reconnect with their bodies so they have less pain, more joy & get to do more of what they love for the rest of their lives.

Heavy lifting, HIIT training, and explosive exercises like plyometrics do a menopausal body good. So, CrossFit can be the perfect workout for women in this stage of life…provided they scale it to their needs. That's because CrossFit also has elements that may not work with our physiology and can leave us feeling tired and beat down instead of strong and built up. That's why this week's guest, CrossFit coach Shawna Norton of Competitive Female Training created “Level M” CrossFit programming for women peri and post-menopause. We talk all about the benefits of CrossFit, how to scale workouts to work with your physiology, and how to fuel it all for the best results.  Shawna is an L1 Certified Nutrition Coach through Precision Nutrition, with a B.S in Kinesiology. She holds her L1 with Crossfit and actively coaches athletes through her women's only coaching program–Competitive Female Training. She loves helping women fuel their training and focus on what their bodies can do!

TriDot is putting all of their coaches through the TriDot method for coaching athletes to swim with balance, low drag and high power.   Friday night we had a dinner together where I got to meet most of the coaches. I introduced myself to the coach that sat across from me at the table, who turned out to be Kurt Madden, who is a three Time Top 10 Finisher - Ironman World Championships; 2) Two Time Winner - Ultraman World Championships; 3) Two Time Age Group Winner - Ironman North American Championship; 4) Ironman All World Athlete - Ranked #1 in the World - Age Group - @ the Ironman distance in 2015 - 2106.   Saturday was classroom and dry land training. We learned the why behind the techniques and form being taught. We learned the cues for remembering various aspects of streamlining, arm recovery, hand entry and the power phase of the stroke. We learned how to identify technique problems and coach through them.   Sunday we were in the pool from 8-12 and applied everything we learned in the classroom to the pool. We started with 100 TTs for time to get a pre instruction baseline. We started with basic KOSS for more than an hour just working on balance in the water. The next hour and half was on the recovery mechanics and the last hour or the power phase and pulling it all together. We finished with a post instruction TT to see who made improvements. One coach went from 1:01 100M to a :59 100M. Some coaches took 4", 6", 8" and in one case 16" off their 100.   We will be offering 2Day TriDot Pool School around the country starting this Fall.   Upcoming Multisport Events in Colorado (runningintheusa.com) Upcoming Classic Runs in Colorado (runningintheusa.com)   Video of the week: Sam Long Takes On The Norwegian Hype Train

In this episode we celebrate Women's History Month by looking back into our own history and learning from other subversive women - specifically Susannah North Martin, convicted witch in Salem, MA in 1692. She was accused of being a witch 3 times in her life and was finally convicted at the age of 70. She is a direct ancestor of our host and a total badass by all accounts. We celebrate her legacy and ponder what legacy we are leaving for our children. This epsiode also celebrates the one year anniversary of the podcast. 

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley chat with rookie professional triathlete Clarice Lorenzini. Clarice qualified for her pro card at Ironman Florida in 2020 and raced her first race as a professional at Ironman Tulsa this spring. After a not-so-perfect start to the race, she tells us how she dug deep to get through the tough bike course and run her way through the field to an impressive 11th place finish. Clarice identifies as Filipino-American, and is just the second ever female professional that is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI). She speaks about how her upbringing influenced her training and pursuit of professional triathlon, and tells us why it is important to her to use her platform to be a role model for young girls in the AIPI community. Clarice also gives suggestions on how we can be better allies to support the AAPI community, both in sport and in our broader communities. Clarice lives in Virginia Beach, and will be racing Rev 3 Williamsburg this coming weekend. She gives us her local scoop on not just the race course, but also her favorite spots to visit, shop, and grab a sandwich in Williamsburg. Haley and Alyssa will both be racing Ironman Coeur D'Alene this Sunday!

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa welcome back professional triathlete and NCAA triathlon coach Kinsey Lane. Kinsey is the Head Coach of the women's triathlon team at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO. The last time we heard from Kinsey was in January 2020 and she was just getting geared up for her own 2020 race season. While the pandemic put a halt on her own racing aspirations, she used the opportunity to dive head first into her head coach role at Colorado Mesa. She talks about this pivot from professional athlete to coach, and what she loves about coaching athletes at the collegiate level. Kinsey and her team are heading to Arizona this weekend for the NCAA Collegiate National Championships. She breaks down the NCAA qualification process, and gives us a behind the scenes look at what sort of training and racing strategy she uses with her athletes.

This week on the podcast Haley & Alyssa catch up with Brazilian professional triathlete and two-time Olympian Pâmella Oliveira. Pâmella got her start in endurance sport as a young swimmer whose talent was recognized by her swim coach. She talks about growing up as an athlete in Brazil, and why she chose to stay focussed on short course racing to compete at the Olympics in her home country before switching over to long course/ Pâmella was just part of the Mulheres Do Tri experience, a program that aims to engage women in triathlon at all levels in Brazil. She believes that by showing women what is possible she can inspire them to chase their own dreams.

On today's episode, Shaunna and Lisa dive into the specific skills a DEI professional needs to have to do the work well. The podcast has previously covered the need for companies to hire an outside DEI professional. They have warned against “giving” the job to the person of color or woman in their agency without knowing their capacity to facilitate change or paying them any extra for their labor. Today, Shaunna and Lisa outline the kinds of skills and attributes listeners should look for when hiring a DEI consultant or creating a permanent DEI position. A lot of money is being spent on workplace DEI transformation initiatives, but the hosts encourage listeners not to throw their money at the issue without doing their research. There are hundreds of DEI consultants nationwide and no clear standard for how to assess their legitimacy or skill to guide organizations through the process of change. To find out the key traits to look for when hiring, listen to this week's [un]phased. It may just save you some money!

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/

On this week's episode, Haley & Alyssa are joined by Paralympic Gold medalist Kendall Gretsch. Kendall fought her way to a gold medal in the women's Paratriathlon Wheelchair (PTWC), winning the race in its Paralympic debut by just one second in an exciting sprint finish. She tells us what was going through her mind in those moments of the race, breaks down her race tactics, and shares how she prepared both mentally and physically for the race. Kendall has been competing in Paratriathlon since 2012, with Tokyo 2020 being the first time that her race classification was included in the Paralympics, she expresses how she felt that her gold medal was an effort from both herself and her team that was nine years in the making. The Games in Tokyo were not the first for Kendall, she also competed at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics in biathlon and nordic skiing, winning gold in both events. With the 2022 winter Paralympics slated to start in just a few months, Kendall details how she's now getting into her prep for the winter season in hopes to qualify for the upcoming Games. Kendall's focus and dedication to all of her sports make her a truly world class all-season athlete.

This week on the podcast Haley & Alyssa get the full run down on the 70.3 World Championships from the second place finisher Jeanni Metzler. Jeanni gives us all of the details on the race, what it feels like to be on the second step of the podium at the world champs, and how she is recovering from racing the gruelling course in St. George. Her incredible run strength gave her an edge on this course, and she passed American Taylor Knibb on the run to move into second place, and managed to push out a 10-second lead over her speedy training partner. Jeannie talks about her friendship with Knibb, and how they push each other to be their best. Jeannie had success at the 70.3 worlds in 2017 & 2018, then in 2019 she decided to try her hand at the Ironman distance. She talks about her race in Kona in 2019, what she learned from racing Ironman, and why she decided to switch back to focusing on the 70.3 distance. Jeanni also gives us a few tips on preparing and training for a hilly run course.

On this week's episode Alyssa and Hale catch up with retired pro triathlete and former co-host of the Triathlon Preview Show podcast Emily Cocks. She joins us to give her insider scoop on the upcoming Ironman 70.3 World Championship race, and the three discuss everything from water temperatures, to wave start times, to bike course profiles. With the ups and downs of the 2021 season they speculate on who may or may not be toeing the line in St. George this Saturday, and how the race may play out. As always in our preview shows, Alyssa, Haley and Emily give their top picks for the podium in this weekend's race.

This week on [un]phased Shaunna and Lisa are joined by retired professional triathlete, and recent finisher of the Leadville 100 mile Trail Run Rachel Joyce. The three discuss the lack of female representation at the race, and in ultra-distance running events in general. As a former professional athlete, Rachel was accustomed to carving out time each day for her training. But she tells us how she found it more difficult she found it to carve out that same time for training now that she is a mother of two. Shaunna and Lisa chat with Rachel about those societal pressures that women face, and how these can present systemic barriers to participation in endurance sport. This last 18 months has been especially fatiguing, both physically and emotionally for those that are in the role of a caregiver. We know that this predominantly falls on women, and is a contributing factor that keeps many women out of endurance events. But we also know that the process of training for a triathlon or an ultra run can be incredibly transformative, and has the power to have a hugely positive impact on the lives of women. Getting more women to the start lines of these events is multifaceted, and it is about much more than just lowering registration fees or adding world championship qualifying slots. We need to start to create a shift in the narrative of the endurance sport culture that allows all folks, but especially women, to see endurance sport as a form of emotional care for themselves and to realize that getting to the start line of an event is a goal they are worthy of setting.

Welcome to our one-year anniversary episode! We are officially celebrating 52 weeks of the [un]phased podcast with a look back at some of our favorite clips from our first year. Shaunna and Lisa each take us through their three Top Picks and reflect on how their thinking may have evolved or stayed the same (i.e., reverse racism is still not a thing!) on some of the key topics they have covered since Episode One. Taking the time to reflect on these thoughts and concepts is important as we continue to grow and develop as a podcast, and to help our listeners grow along with us. We hope you enjoy this little walk down [un]phased memory lane! Learn more about the Outspoken Women in Triathlon Summit at www.outspokensummit.com Support the podcast and use our sponsor codes!

This week on the IronWomen podcast Alyssa and Haley catch up with retired pro triathlete and Olympian Sarah Haskins. The three break down the results of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Triathlon races, and Sarah reminisces about the first mixed relay she did when it was introduced back in 2009. With over 50 career wins as a professional triathlete, Sarah is one of the most decorated short course professionals from the US. She talks about the pressures that athletes face, especially at an Olympic Games, and how we can shift our mindset to see success outside of just winning a gold medal. Sarah had a prolific career as a short course racer in the US on the LifeTime circuit and other national race series. She talks about her decision to stick closer to home to race these draft legal events, especially after having children, and how she was able to carve her own path to success outside of the traditional ITU schedule.

Sika Henry is a HOKA ONE ONE sponsored triathlete, 2X marathon champion, 2019 IRONMAN World Championship finisher and was named Athlete of the Year as part of the 2020 Outspoken Women in Triathlon Awards for her advocacy in the triathlon space. On May 2, 2021, Sika made history becoming the first United States Black triathlete with a professional card. Through the Challenge Cancun event, she qualified for her USA Triathlon Elite license and this stemmed from not giving up even after facing a huge hurdle in April 2019 where she went through a horrific bike crash during a race. Despite being sidelines for two years, she committed herself to making this vision come into full fruition.By day, she is a corporate analyst for Ferguson Enterprises that manages to do two a day workouts to train for a host of events. She is a graduate from Tufts University with her degree in economics. While pursuing her studies, she became a NCAA All American in Track and Field as a collegiate high jumper. Soaking in all of these accomplishments can make a person have a strong sense of pride and mental fatigue.On this episode, Sika Henry and Latoya Shauntay Snell talk about the joys of being acknowledged for your accolades while setting healthy boundaries on yourself and others while thriving in the public eye. Sika and Latoya explore conversations on impromptu breaks at the height of a career, self inflicted pressures of representing marginalized communities and absorbing in your accolades while it's still happening. Henry and Snell discuss the lack of diverse representation in the triathlon world, how they handle pushback when challenged from hecklers and what Sika loves to do during her downtime. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/runningfatchef)

This week on the IronWomen Podcast, Haley and Alyssa are chatting with cyclist and former collegiate swimmer Emily Cameron. Emily just finished bike packing the Tour Divide, a 2700 mile route that follows the Great Divide Trail along the continental divide from the USA/Canada border all the way south to the Mexican border. Emily had a decorated career as a collegiate swimmer at the University of Georgia, then transitioned into triathlon after college. After some early success in triathlon she decided to walk away from competitive sport. She talks through that decision, and why she has taken to ultra-endurance events as a way to explore and enjoy new places. Alyssa and Haley also pick Emily's brain for some of her Olympic picks in swimming, cycling and triathlon to get us all hyped for some Olympic fever!

This week on the show Haley and Alyssa chat with professional triathlete Brandi Swicegood. In 2018, Brandi left a 20-year career as a journalist to chase her dream of becoming a professional triathlete and set an example for her daughter. Brandi opens up about the financial and emotional stress of walking away from an established career and redefining her role as a mother and athlete. She qualified for her pro card in late 2019, and raced her first event as a pro at Ironman Cozumel at the end of that year. Like all of us, Brandi's 2020 race plans were derailed. She talks about how the pandemic affected the start of her pro career, and the challenges of being a parent and training full time during the last 18 months. This year, Brandi took to the trails and started racing Xterra off road triathlons. She tells us about how a date with her now husband got her started in mountain biking, and what she loves about the off-road format. Brandi also gives us some journalist's insight on how to tell a good story to promote yourself as an athlete.

On this week's episode of the IronWomen Podcast, Alyssa and Haley catch up with professional triathlete Lenny Ramsey. Lenny also raced at Ironman Coeur d'Alene last weekend, and battled her way to an impressive 8th place finish despite feeling sick on the bike and run. She tells us about her heat management strategy for the race, and how she managed to keep herself mentally and physically in the race in tough conditions. Lenny also recently raced at Ironman Tulsa, but had to pull out of the run due to swim induced pulmonary edema (SIPE). We hear about her experience with SIPE and how she managed the conditions while racing in Coeur d'Alene. Lenny tells us about her foray into Zwift racing over the last year, and how that helped her stay prepped and motivated to get back to triathlon. She also fills us in on the action packed race schedule for the rest of the year, and why she loves living and training in Arkansas.

Lynn Mattix is a wife, mom, USAF veteran, military spouse, age-grouper in triathlon, and the founder of Fund Her Tri. Fund Her Tri is a nonprofit that pursues equality in triathlon, breaks down the financial barrier & makes triathlon more accessible to women & girls. The Fund Her Tri team raises money to pay race registration fees for first-time, female triathletes. Lynn says, "In an effort to grow the participation of women in the sport of triathlon, I wanted to start an organization that provides financial resources to first-timers. My professional background is in aviation so starting a nonprofit is outside my comfort zone, but if triathlon has taught me anything, it's that I'm capable of far more than I ever dreamed possible. I have been doing triathlons for 10 years and I hope to continue doing it forever. The sport has changed my life in the best way."

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley chat with rookie professional triathlete Clarice Lorenzini. Clarice qualified for her pro card at Ironman Florida in 2020 and raced her first race as a professional at Ironman Tulsa this spring. After a not-so-perfect start to the race, she tells us how she dug deep to get through the tough bike course and run her way through the field to an impressive 11th place finish. Clarice identifies as Filipino-American, and is just the second ever female professional that is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI). She speaks about how her upbringing influenced her training and pursuit of professional triathlon, and tells us why it is important to her to use her platform to be a role model for young girls in the AIPI community. Clarice also gives suggestions on how we can be better allies to support the AAPI community, both in sport and in our broader communities. Clarice lives in Virginia Beach, and will be racing Rev 3 Williamsburg this coming weekend. She gives us her local scoop on not just the race course, but also her favorite spots to visit, shop, and grab a sandwich in Williamsburg. Haley and Alyssa will both be racing Ironman Coeur D'Alene this Sunday!

Coach Chris talks with Dr. Lisa Ingarfield  about diversity, equity and inclusion in endurance sports. She's a fellow USA Triathlon Coach and spoke at a recent triathlon conference on this topic. She co founded the Outspoken Women in Triathlon Summit. As a "day job," she does research and evaluation surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion. Hang on to your hat, be a little uncomfortable, set aside your emotions for a moment and listen up. We have a lot of work to do. She calls this a "marathon" and we can certainly work together on this one.Dr Ingarfield defines diversity and brings up many pieces of this complicated puzzle. She talks about the gender pronouns and what they mean. She also talks about the "invisibility of whiteness" and "invisibility of maleness." At the end of the day, the onus is on us to do the research instead of asking marginalized people.Some of her "homework" for us is to:-->Stop making assumptions like "all black people can't swim" or "all moms don't have time for sports" and ask some questions or do your research so you're not excluding people-->If you're in a leadership position, do a needs assessment and ask people about their experiences as well as to have a great starting point. Here's some books she suggested, although there are many out there to help: Lies My Teacher Told MeHow To Be AntiracistIf you want to continue to learn and get insights on this issues, check out her [un]phased Podcast with Dr. Shaunna Payne Gold, designed to help you grapple with the reality of racism, sexism, ableism and many other hard-to-discuss issues affecting triathlon, endurance sports, and our lives.

On this week’s episode Haley and Alyssa are chatting with rookie pro triathlete Ruth Astle. Ruth took her pro card last year after winning the amateur race at the 2019 Ironman World Championships. She jumped straight into the pro ranks, taking on her first race as a professional at Ironman Western Australia just a few weeks later. Ruth tells us about the lessons she took away from that race, and what she is continuing to learn as a new pro. Like the rest of the triathlon world, Ruth’s 2020 race plans were drastically changed, but she didn’t let that stop her. She tells us how she was able to readjust her plans to get to some start lines this year - which included an incredible 4-week build to prep for Ironman Florida, where she finished in an impressive 4th place, setting a new bike course record. Ruth also received an invitation to race at the PTO Championships this december in Daytona, and she tells us what it has been like training in Florida these past few weeks compared to her home in the UK. Alyssa and Haley recap some of the highlights from the Outspoken Women in Triathlon virtual awards ceremony, and dish on what 2020 fashion trends they are getting on board with. Follow Ruth on Instagram @rastle50 and send in your mailbag questions to ironwomenpodcast@gmail.com

On this week’s show, Haley and Alyssa are speaking with retired professional triathlete Chantell Widney. Chantell began her athletic career as a cross country runner, and found triathlon in her mid-twenties, winning the first race she entered and quickly making her way onto the ITU racing scene. Chantell tells us about the challenges of racing on the ITU circuit without the support of Triathlon Canada, and how this pushed her to move into the world of off-road racing. Despite her lack of experience on a mountain bike, Chantell dove head-on into this new discipline and found quick success. In 2013 she earned a third place finish at the Cross Triathlon World Championships, and rounded out the season with another handful of podium finishes. A serious injury in 2014 forced Chantell to retire from racing, and she talks us through the mental and emotional struggles that came with her unexpected exit from the sport. After her retirement, Chantell went on to study Indigenous Resilience Through Traditional Storytelling in Edmonton, Alberta, and she tells us how these studies are helping her to tell the stories of her ancestors from the Champagne Aishihik First Nation in the Yukon. Chantell also found the world of gravel cycling this year, and she gives us the scoop on all of the great riding around her home in Edmonton. We’re sending out a big congratulations to all of the Outspoken Women in Triathlon Awards nominees and finalists - and a special shoutout to Alyssa who is a finalist for the Athlete of the year award. Sign up to attend the virtual awards ceremony on Sunday November 15th at www.outspokensummit.com/awards.

Globally, it’s been a long year -- racial unrest, a seemingly uncontrollable pandemic, and even historic weather events. But for many Americans, it’s been a long four years. Running up to the finish line of the U.S. Presidential Election may feel exhausting, but it literally is just one phase of the long journey to personal, professional, financial, and political healing. The next phase is the aftermath -- or what we have labeled, “The After-mess”. The clean up may get worse before it gets better given the challenges of the election itself and beyond. Lawsuits will be filed for voter suppressions or recounts. Families, friends, and loved ones will need to determine if and how they can possibly heal family relationships. Some people are quickly sliding down a slippery financial slope due to a myriad of reasons. We are neck-deep in a mess that we must address as an entire country. As endurance athletes, it’s going to be tough to go on that ride with a buddy who -- given their political leanings -- now make you wonder whether your life truly matters. It may be frustrating to know that you are not in fact seen with your differences, but tolerated and treated with no consideration of how you add to the experience with your many identities. It is at this very time that we need to be sure that fellow athletes have each other’s backs. Yet, for anyone who has attempted to separate and compartmentalize identity differences from the endurance sport experience with a “Just shut up and race attitude”, this may be a necessarily uncomfortable time for you. This episode will challenge you to consider how you want to engage with anyone and everyone -- especially your fellow athletes. Are you making conscious choices of how/if you want to engage with someone? Consider if it’s worth the energy. How invested are you in your relationship with that person? Consider your own mental health and safety. How might you be creating work for yourself? Taking the time to explain your experience if you are an oppressed person takes emotional labour.

Bishop Richard Gilmour was already affronted when Irish community members formed organizations without a religious purpose and without the leadership of priests. He was further exercised when those leaders and organizations began to push more aggressively for Irish nationhood. But the conflicts between Bishop Gilmour and some Irish community leaders reached a new level of antagonism when a bold group of women got involved in promoting Irish nationhood. Calling them unwomanly and "brawling politicians" whose place should have been in the home, Gilmour excommunicated the women who persisted in participating in the Ladies Land League. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week Haley chats with Outspoken Women in Triathlon Summit co-founder Dr. Lisa Ingarfield about the Outspoken Women in Triathlon Awards. In 2019 Lisa and her summit co-founder Dr. Sara Gross, created the Outspoken Women in Triathlon awards as a way to acknowledge women who are doing incredible work in our sport. Although the Outspoken Summit has been cancelled for this year, Lisa explains why they decided that it was still as important as ever to recognize the women making an impact on the sport of triathlon, and to elevate women’s voices through these challenging times. The Outspoken Women in Triathlon Summit will be hosting a virtual awards ceremony on November 15th, but first they need your help! Visit the nomination page at www.outspokensummit.com to submit a nomination for a woman you know who is making a difference in triathlon. Nominations close at midnight on August 31st and the award recipients will be announced at the virtual awards ceremony in November.

In this week's episode we talk to the Voice of Ironman: Mike Reilly. No, Mike doesn't say his famous phrase ('you are an Ironman') for us—he says that phrase is sacred—but he does reflect back on some of the amazing moments he's seen at the finish lines over the years and that he shared in his book. Plus, how he picks which races to go to, if he ever runs out of things to say, and why he thinks the Ironman midnight cut-off is something unique and special to triathlon. What is it about Ironman, crossing that finish, and hearing those words that can change people's lives? And why hasn't Mike ever done an Ironman himself? First, though, you have a chance to nominate women doing great things in the sport. Sara Gross comes on to tell us about the Outspoken Women in Triathlon awards; nominate a woman in one of nine categories by Aug. 31: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrYxxnfR2DJq6offMgUA0tL5FNTg28uATxy5iXva_2bwnRDQ/viewform

Haley Chura is a certified badass. After turning pro in triathlon several years ago she has won races at the full and half Ironman distances. In 2015, she was sidelined from doing running workouts for a year and a half after a devastating crash on her bike three weeks before the Ironman World Championships. This year she decided to make a run at the Olympic Trials marathon qualifying standard after the September World Championships. In this episode, Haley details this amazing journey and her feelings after breaking 2:45 at the California international Marathon last weekend. Haley is also a strong advocate for women in sport and was recently the MC at the Outspoken: Women in Triathlon Summit.

I have a couple few friends in my neighborhood who I have been training and racing with for more than a decade. Two in particular, Todd Stockford and Tom Beal. I never have to remind myself to look up the All American rankings, because the moment that the All American list is announced, I get a group text with my neighbor's standings and scores.   When my friends and I carpool to races, we talk about the scores and which races someone qualified for Nationals. We'll talk about where Nationals or Worlds is going to be this year or the next. It gives our racing context and purpose. But there have been things that have been a bit of a mystery to me. Things like how did USAT come up with the decimal score they assigned me during a race? I've generally understood that the people that show up to a race can influence the score that I get, but how? I have an athlete, Amy Miller, who has qualified for Nationals and is very much in capable of achieving All American and Team USA, and I wanted to get the facts for her. So I thought let's get the experts on the show and help all our listeners. Welcome back. Our post interview discussion is sponsored by Halo Neuroscience. The Halo Sport from Halo Neuroscience will help you learn the technique and form to get faster. 20 minutes of neural priming with the Halo Headset gives you an hour of neural plasticity to work and lock in the muscle movement that leads to strength, power and endurance.

Topics: USAT Ranking System Converting a race time into decimal format:   From Nick - we change participants’ times into minutes using a mathematical formula Example 1: a time of 00:49:30.0 would change to 49.5) Example 2: a time of 02:11:08.0 would change to 131.133 – 2x60(hours into minutes) + 11 minutes + 8/60(seconds into minutes) Any time over one hour will take the number of hours and turn that into minutes. Two hours equates to 120 and three hours will equate to 180. This is why the above example has a decimal time of 131.133. 2 hours into minutes - 120 + the 11 additional minutes. and then changing seconds into minutes as well. How are Race Scores Calculated? Our ranking system uses pacesetters to determine a par time for each race. Every race has a unique par time, depending on who has competed. It is important to understand the basic concept behind the ranking scores: scores are calculated as a comparison between an athlete’s race time and the projected time of the best age group athlete in the country (par time). For example, if the par time of a sprint race is 60 minutes, someone who completed the race in 72 minutes would be 20% slower than the best age group athlete, calculated as 1.2 times the par time. However, we do not know who the best age group athlete in the country is – so we estimate his/her performance by creating a Par Time. It would have been possible to give out ranking scores based on these numbers, where the lowest score is best; a score of 1.0 being the best score and all other scores going up from there. This way, it would be easy to see how each athlete’s times compare to the times of others. However, in most sports the higher scores reflect a better performance. It was decided to take the inverse of this number (1/1.2 for this example giving .833333) to achieve this goal. Fractions of “1” are not sufficient, so this number is multiplied by 100 (giving our example athlete a score of 83.3333).   There are six steps used to determine race scores:   Find all possible pacesetters: Determine which participants received an overall score in the previous year. These participants are considered “pacesetters” in this event. (Note: pacesetters are not athletes who competed in the race the previous year as well as this year. Pacesetters are any athlete who received an overall score based on any three on-road triathlons (2 or more races of any other sport) from the previous year. An overall score tells us what type of performances the athlete generally puts in.     Convert minutes into decimal format: We change participants’ times into minutes so they can work in the mathematical formula (example: a time of 00:49:30.0 would change to 49.5) (example: a time of 02:11:08.0 would change to 131.133 – 2x60(hours into minutes) + 11 minutes + 8/60(seconds into minutes)   Find each pacesetter’s calculated time: This is done by multiplying each participant’s time in minutes by their pacesetter score (final score from previous year) then dividing that by 100 (this removes a certain percentage of their time). This tells us how quickly an athlete that is ranked at a 100 could have completed the course.   Remove top and bottom 20% of calculated times: Drop the top 20% & bottom 20% of calculated times. This removes any extraordinarily great performances (a pacesetter significantly outperforms their previous year pacesetter ranking) and extraordinarily poor performances (causes could be a flat tire or dehydration for example).   Determine Par Time: Average the remaining 60% of calculated times to come up with the “par time.” We are interested in the “par time” as this is what all of the participants’ times will be compared to when calculating their individual rankings. Competitors are actually racing against the “par time” as far as scoring is concerned.   Determine each participant’s race score: Divide each participant’s (decimal) finish time by the par time, invert and multiply by 100. (For example: assume a participant had a finish time of 49.5 and Par Time was set at 45 minutes Original Score: 49.5/45 = 1.1 Inverted Score: 1/1.1 = .909090 Race Score: .909090*100 = 90.9090   Races with 2, 3, and 4 pacesetters, do not have any pacesetters removed from the par time calculation. It is not until you reach 5 pacesetters that we will begin to remove the top and bottom 20%. We do not want to remove pacesetters when there are too few and we can't get a grasp on their performances by removing them.    8.For women, they then get a gender graded adjustment of 10%.   Triathlon Trivia - qualifying for ITU Worlds and Team USA What percentile to you need to rank in a:s Local - 15% State - 25% Region - 35% True or False: You don't have to compete at AG Nationals to qualify for Worlds and Team USA The first ___ of the top ___ All American in each AG can earn a spot to Worlds and Team USA True or False: A collegiate athlete can qualify for AG Nationals at NCAA or Club Nationals  News https://303cycling.com/colorado-classic-to-feature-only-women-pro-cyclists-in-2019/ http://303triathlon.com/blind-colorado-athlete-sets-ironman-record/   YouTube Video of the Week is sponsored by Rudy Project.

In 2007, three partners came together to take bike fitting to another level. Cliff Simms was a medical device engineer who had come up with a prototype of the 3-D bike fit system and Todd Carver was a bike racer and bike fit expert who knew how to apply the technology to help cyclists get the most out of their body and bike performance. Franko Vatterott was the third partner who was selling high altitude tents at the time, but knew how to market and sell the ground breaking 3-D fit technology. Their business plan intended to bring the system to market, make it the most in-demand and respected bike fitting system, and then eventually sell it to a major bicycle company. In September of 2012, the trio sold RETUL to Specialized and now Todd Carver is the Head of Human Performance at Specialized and Cliff Simms is the Head of the RETUL division. Franko Vatterott is the Founder of The Human Interest Group, agency for developing brands and partnerships like RETUL, Sansego and others. Welcome back.

A Case for Zone 1 - by Laura Marcoux https://d3multisport.com/d3-university/article/a-case-for-zone-1   Based on article in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance   Purpose: To describe training loads during an Ironman training program based on intensity zones and observe training–performance relationships. Methods: Nine triathletes completed a program with the same periodization model aiming at participation in the same Ironman event. Before and during the study, subjects performed ramp-protocol tests, running, and cycling to determine aerobic (AeT) and anaerobic thresholds (AnT) through gas-exchange analysis. For swimming, subjects performed a graded lactate test to determine AeT and AnT. Training was subsequently controlled by heart rate (HR) during each training session over 18 wk. Training and the competition were both quantified based on the cumulative time spent in 3 intensity zones: zone 1 (low intensity; AnT). Results: Most of training time was spent in zone 1 (68% ± 14%), whereas the Ironman competition was primarily performed in zone 2 (59% ± 22%). Significant inverse correlations were found between both total training time and training time in zone 1 vs performance time in competition (r = –.69 and –.92, respectively). In contrast, there was a moderate positive correlation between total training time in zone 2 and performance time in competition (r = .53) and a strong positive correlation between percentage of total training time in zone 2 and performance time in competition (r = .94). Conclusions: While athletes perform with HR mainly in zone 2, better performances are associated with more training time spent in zone 1. A high amount of cycling training in zone 2 may contribute to poorer overall performance.   If the Bike Fits: RETUL bike fits measure angle and motion distance within the accuracy of A) Centimeter; B) Millimeter; C) Micrometer RETUL fits include digital measurements for A) Bike; B) Saddle; C) Foot beds; D) Helmets; E) All Above; F) A-C True or False, RETUL Match captures your measurements with sub-millimeter accuracy for capturing foot size, arch height, and different body segment lengths   A Case for Zone 1: The article "A Case for Zone One and it's foundational article in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance is based on A) 3 training zones; B) 5 training zones, or C) 7 training zones? True or False - Training below Aerobic Threshold (AeT) is most effective when paired with minimal training above Anaerobic Threshold (AnT)? Doing the majority of your training below Aerobic Threshold showed a statistically significant improvement for subject athletes competing Ironman at A) Below Aerobic Threshold; B) Above AeT, but below AnT; C) Above AnT   YouTube Video of the Week is sponsored by Rudy Project.

Liza-Jayne (LJ) has almost three decades of experience helping organisations, causes, and individuals successfully grow their profiles and accentuate their positive. She has worked at the highest levels of media, government and business as a journalist and trusted adviser. It was her closer friendship with fellow Journalist Tracy Spicer that also set her on the path with NOW Australia and Outspoken Women. After Tracy shared a tweet in October of 2017 and received an overwhelming response in light of the #metoo movement it was a realisation that it was time to add to this conversation. NOW has been founded by a diverse group of women with extensive experience across research, education and advocacy. Their work is focused on making workplaces safe for everyone. LJ shares her personal drive to make the most of her life and how to look at and navigate the inevitability of mistakes. One of the things I loved about this conversation was how real and honest LJ was in sharing the imposter syndrome that she still feels at times that prompted her year of yes. She also encourages people to just find something that starts a spark in you - whatever that thing is. It is my hope that this conversation will spark something in you.

We discuss: ½ of women experience pregnancy discrimination in the workplace Your job is to be prepared by finding out the state and federal legislation and creating a strategy The gender pay gap Tracey didn’t ask for a pay rise for 14 years Now she says to always ask for more than you think you’re worth The gender pay gap in her own household Do your research and keep notes Know when the best time to ask for a pay rise is Keep a detailed diary of positive feedback, so provide proof of your performance Know what the share price is, and what other people received as bonses Figure out a way to make sure everyone can benefit – it’s not a zero sum game How we can change expectations in childhood, which may lead to different outcomes in the gender pay gap Having difficult conversations with your partner “long term resentment is a huge risk to a relationship” The 30% tipping point for sexual harassment, where it peaks and then drops off Quotas, targets and the inexistence of any true meritocracy There’s no such thing as work-life balance Let’s change the conversation so MEN are being asked how they manage it all Legislative changes that could be put in place to better support families An invitation from Tracey: Sit down and write out the amount of time it takes you to do your hair, makeup, buy your work wardrobe, and do all the things that come with society’s pressure on women to look a certain way Write down how much all of these things cost you financially Consider what else you can do with that money and time, and be deliberate about whether you want to keep spending it on meeting society’s unreasonable expectations of women’s looks Have a think about these cultural expectation If you want, then slowly start to pare it back. See if you don’t start to feel more authentic and truly yourself Resources We mention some resources throughout the conversation, here is where you can find links to them all!
