Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"   In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg is joined by the current Ironman World Champion - Chelsea Sodaro. Eight days ago Chelsea took the world by storm. She was 'under the radar', but as the race progressed Chelsea started to come to the forefront. And by the time the marathon started her name started rising to the top.   But no one wins on debut, right? Wrong! On her 2nd ever Ironman, she came to Kona and demonstrated a performance with no weaknesses and showed weapons across the board, especially her run. To win in a time of 8.33 (2nd fastest of all time) and a 2.51 marathon off a 4.42 bike and 54 min swim, is incredible. Add to this the fact she gave birth to her daughter 18 months ago and it makes this story even more remarkable.   She's one of our favorite experts on the AnyQuestion app and in her short career, Chelsea Sodaro has quickly ascended to the top of levels of elite triathlon.   Chelsea Sodaro grew up in Davis, California — Bike City, USA. She swam, biked, danced, and played competitive soccer as a young kid. In high school, Chelsea discovered an affinity for running and began competing in cross country and track. After a successful high school track campaign, she was recruited by several top Division 1 programs and decided to take her talents to UC Berkeley. During her senior year she became a Four Time All-American. She was the captain of the cross country team and helped lead the Golden Bears to their first appearance at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in thirty years.   In only her 4th 70.3, Chelsea placed 4th and as the top American at the 2019 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Nice, France and is considered one of the biggest up-and-comers in the sport.   Links Be sure and check out bennettendurance.com Find Greg on social media: Twitter Greg Bennett Show Instagram The Greg Bennett Show   Find Chelsea Sodaro on social media Instagram: instagram.com/chelseasodaro/ twitter: https://twitter.com/chelseasodaro website: chelseasodaro.com   Timestamps 3:06 - Interview with Chelsea Sodaro begins 8:34 - Chelsea and Greg discuss her decison behind changing coaches only 2 years ago and working with Dan Plews (previous guest) and how they plotted and planned her journey to Kona. 18:52 - The path to Kona not only included a coach change, Chelsea & Steve (her husband) became parents 18 months ago. Skye was born in March of 2021. Chelsea opens up and discusses her tough journey through the pregnancy and return to training. I wasn't handing the training that well 26:08 - Chelsea came second in her debut Ironman in Hamburg and she explains how that helped pave her confidence pathway into Kona. After a swim session with Paul Newsome, Chelsea made some changes to her technique and was able to apply it to her swim in Hamburg. She breaks down the race and how she was measuring her times throughout the race. 30:35 - It was after Hamburg that Dan and Chelsea realised she had something special going on. However the up's and downs post childbirth were well and truly still challenging. Chelsea explains how she was questioning herself, but was pulled back into focus on Kona. I was a hot disaster 34:32 - After Hamburg, and after the Collins Club Chelsea got sick and was hitting a low point. She discusses how she was feeling prior to her committment to get to a training camp in Hawaii. "The only reason I got on the plane was because Steve told me if my training didn't come around, I could at least have a Hawaiian vacation on my own." 37:46 - Steve (Chelsea's husband) is a firefighter in Reno, so they have a challenging rhythm of life between Chelsea's pro career and Steve's career. Chelsea discusses how her schedule looks day to day while also managing her motherhood duties for Skye. It's been really really hard and I have wanted to quit so many times 40:37 - Moving onto the pre-race week in Kona, Chelsea explains how 'flying under the radar' was a real help to her preparation. Having no media committments will change for next years event though! 43:18 - Chelsea breaksdown her race morning feelings and how things didn't work out to the plan. However as soon as she got in the water, she was at peace and ready. 47:23 - Breaking down the race, Chelsea and Greg discuss her Swim - Bike - Run. From her transitions to her mantra's, to her stats and nutrition. "I'm just sticking to my plan, riding my power, taking care of myself - I didn't play anyone elses game." It's just about putting the pieces together at the right time 54:15 - Jumping off the bike, Chelsea explains how she didn't stick to the plan at the start of her run, and how she settled into her 10k pace. "You know you're having a good day when you're telling yourself to slow down." Chelsea explains her technique for staying cool and how the media was critisizing her performance. 57:52 - Chelsea explains her mantra's to keep her mind focussed during the run and the moment when she finally allowed herself to feel that she might have it in her to finish on the podium. 1:00:37 - Having spent so much of the race not alowing herself get emotional, Chelsea explains the last few moments of her race prior to crossing the finish line - how she took it all in ... then received the "best hug of her life". 1:07:24 - Interview ends.

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"   In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg chats to Dr. Dan Plews. Dan is one of the most requested guests. Elite coach Dr. Dan Plews.   Just days after coaching Chelsea Sodaro to her debut Kona in 8:33, Dr Dan joins Greg to dissect the process of how Chelsea went from having a baby 18 months ago, to winning Kona this past weekend. Dan discusses the training prep, nutrition, and heat adaptations, plus the mental prep that he and Chelsea went through prior to her amazing debut.   Dan Plews is an Applied Sports Scientist, Researcher and coach. As a Sports Scientist (specialising in the area of Physiology) Dan has worked closely with athletes who have won more than 25 world and Olympic titles in the sports of rowing, kayak and triathlon. Athletes include Mahe Drysdale, Lisa Carrington, Eric Murray and Hamish Bond.   As a researcher, Dan completed his PhD in the area of applied heart rate variability (HRV). This work focused on implementing and validating methods regarding the application of HRV to track training adaptation in elite athletes.   Since then, Dan has gone onto having more than 21 peer-reviewed publications in the area of applied sports science.   Dan is seriously passionate about endurance sport, particularly Ironman triathlon, where he has coached 3 athletes under the 8-hour barrier. He lives and breathes it, and is a competitive Ironman athlete himself. In 2018 he broke the amateur course record at Ironman New Zealand by more than 10 minutes in a time of 8 hr 35 min.   Dan thrives on continuous learning and being on the cutting edge of applied sports science. He often throws himself into the depths of new science, measurements and self-quantification to find out first hand the effects that they have on training adaptation.   He's one of the world's greatest minds in endurance sports. He has the practical and personal experience, and he has the science. Check out his website - https://www.endureiq.com/   Timestamps 2:28 - Interview starts 5:36 - It's been a challenging year for one of Dan's star athletes - Javier Gomez. Dan describes his perspective on the 'highs & lows' of professional sport for a coach. 8:08 - Dan holds the course record in Kona @ 8:24. Greg and Dan discuss how fast the race is getting. 14:52 - Dan and Greg discuss at what point in the race he felt Chelsea was going to win. 19:17 - These types of wins are lifechanging for an athlete. Dan explains how he feels Chelsea can go on and win further within the sport plus also to be able to grow and deal with the success at this level. Success breeds Success 23:26 - Dan and Chelsea met only2 years ago ... right before she had her baby. The story from that interview is extraordinary. 28:50 - Chelsea was the first athlete Dan has coached through pregnancy. So he applied his sports science knowledge and got to work on studying what he need to do coach Chelsea back to racing form. 32:46 - Chelsea chose to only take 6 weeks off from training after giving birth. Her frist goal was to get to The Collins Cup. Dan explains her training program and the path to Kona. Chelsea's dedication to race in The Collins Cup is an inspiring story. 36:33 - Chelsea's swimming power was holding her back so they called in Paul Newsome to help and guide her. 42:33 - Dan explains the point at which he and Chelsea decided to focus on Kona. 44:48 - Greg probes Dan on his heat-adaption process for Chelsea and Kona. But do we get the full details? usually Dan is so open in sharing his wisdom. 46:51 - One of the hot topics in endurance sports nutrition at the moment is ‘carbohydrate periodization'. Dan explains his view on training to improve Chelsea's ability to make use of fat as a fuel source during exercise. 52:21 - Greg asks Dan on his views on hydration in race mode. We know that better performance can come from those who lose more body fat lose over the course of a marathon. 55:49 - On race day, what did Dan advise Chelsea in terms of keeping cool? 57:49 - Dan and Greg discuss the mental and emotional preparation for Chelsea prior to the race. Is what I'm doing now, positively affecting the last part of my race 01:09:35 - Interview concludes

More and more of us are undertaking amazing challenges in life – such as an Ironman triathlon, marathon, climbing Everest or for me very recently, swimming 20km in the ocean to Rottnest Island. These are amazing, life affirming feats that require a lot of time, focus and energy. There is a wealth of information relating to leading up to and during the event, but there's been very little focus on what happens afterwards and the journey post event. In this very honest conversation, I talk and reflect with Perth swim coach Paul Newsome about this very ‘live' issue for me and his experience both as a competitor and coach of many others who have undertaken such feats.

Paul Newsome from SwimSmooth.com joins us this week for a special edition aimed at helping you improve your swim stroke. Paul is one of the World's most experienced swim coaches and stroke analysts, having been coaching swimming professionally for over 20 years. The swim smooth method has been adopted by British Triathlon and the ITU for their triathlon coaching courses, and their ‘swim types' system is great at helping you quickly identify what kind of swimmer you are, and how to rapidly improve.In this episode we cover:The background that led to the formation of SwimSmoothThe Swim Types system, consisting of the following six swim types:ArnieBambinoKicktasticOvergliderSwingerSmoothStroke Rate - how to measure where you're at, how to find the correct range for your swim type and body size, and how to test what stroke rate will work best for your body and swim stroke.The Finis Tempo Trainer Pro , and why it's such a useful tool.Paul's thoughts from having coached Joe Skipper. We also cover the lessons that we can all apply to our own swimming from him having watched Joe's improvements, and how they've translated into his open water racing.Links from this show:Swimsmooth.comhttps://www.swimtypes.com/https://www.swimsmooth.guru/home/Sponsorsprecisionfuelandhydration.comThis show is brought to you by Precision Fuel & Hydration, who have a range of tools and products to help you personalise your fuelling and hydration strategy so that you can perform at your best.

If you are interested in improving your stroke at all, then I can highly recommend Swim Smooth as being able to assist (although you won't have to travel to Perth to do so, I promise).

Today we dive into sweat and hydration - two essential but often overlooked aspects to any athlete’s training - with Andy Blow, the Co-Founder and CEO of Precision Hydration.Andy is a Sports Scientist with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Bath, UK. He’s an expert in sweat (swexpert?), dehydration, and cramping, and previously worked as the Team Sports Scientist for the Benetton and Renault Formula 1 teams. In his younger days, he was an elite level triathlete and finished in the Top 10 of Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races. He even won an XTERRA Triathlon World Title!We discussed a variety of topics including salty sweaters, hydration for endurance training sessions and races, dehydration and hyponatremia (over hydrating), the effects of having a beer before/after a race, and so much more.This was a really fascinating and fun chat with Andy. You’ll definitely learn a few things about hydration, and his tips will hopefully help you on your next swim, bike, run, walk, hike, workout, etc.I found it pretty cool that in addition to endurance athletes, Precision Hydration has also worked with the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL.

Well, we did it! This one's been about 3 or 4 weeks in the making! True to the worldwide collaborative efforts we're currently seeing around the globe with corporations coming together in a siege-like mentality and utilising technologies like Zoom and Slack to build a stronger team, so too have we compiled our resources to bring you something very special today. At Swim Smooth, we've spent the last 10 years creating an amazing team of specialist coaches around the world who've become certified in our methodology to the extent that they run their own Swim Smooth Squads and training programs in their locale. We're super tight-knit as a team and that's allowed us to leverage the skills of our individual coaches to be able to bring you products and training tips that are both diligently structured and stand the test of time. Coach Jana Oosthuizen from Johannesburg, South Africa, first contacted us in 2013 as a physiotherapist seeking to extend her knowledge and skills as a swim coach after researching our keen eye for video analysis and the use of the latest technologies to really enhance our effectiveness as coaches. She was also prompted by our regular discussion and diagnosis of swimming-related injuries which has come (in the most part) from the shared knowledge between Head Coach, Paul Newsome, and his wife Michelle (also a physiotherapist, specialising in shoulder issues). Michelle actually wrote many of the shoulder health related passages within the Swim Smooth Book and was a regular attendee in the early day Swim Smooth Clinics around the world back as far as 2004/5. Jana came to Paul with the idea of producing a collaborative dry-land cord and injury prevention training routine between herself, Paul and Michelle to help swimmers around the world deal with being out of the pool during this period, and what you'll hear today is the result of that work which we're super pumped to finally get across the line! Whilst many have quickly pushed a variety of dry-land cord work and exercises out into cyber-space, I think you'll understand when you listen to the podcast just how much more considered this program is, and how we'd like to inspire you to maintain aspects of this routine even when you return to the pool. So yes, it's taken us a few weeks to get it out there, but it's been worth it! You can check out some sneaky peaks on our YouTube Channel and for the full program of 54 exercises (all filmed in glorious HD) and split out over 8 unique sets with accompanying downloadable PDF, check it out on the Swim Smooth Guru for just $1.99/mo. Thanks for listening and supporting us and our coaches during this very difficult time. Stay safe and well everyone!

Hey there listeners, Hope you're managing to navigate the mess that we're in right now with COVID-19. It's certainly a very bizarre, scary and somewhat overwhelming time. Today's podcast will be a little different - essentially some unfiltered musings from Swim Smooth's Head Coach, Paul Newsome, recorded between a car park and bathroom (no less!) as he attempts to give some strategies that have helped him in the last fortnight with the closures of the local pool, dropping to a zero revenue state for the first time in his coaching career, but how he's trying to apply his coaching, planning and forecasting skills as a swim coach to navigate this financial side of this crisis. We are hoping you can do the same. As Paul points out, he's far from being a financial advisor and anything stated here is designed purely for rumination and then action on how you can best use your own planning skills as an athlete to work through your own situation. If it prompts nothing more than for you to seek help and advice from a trusted accountant or financial advisor at this time, then please take action. Given the nature of the "off the cuff" recording, there's a fair bit of repetition within this 57 minute recording, but hopefully the key messages come across well enough for you to take action as suggested and help to sooth at least a morsel of the anxiety you might be feeling right now if you've also lost your job. We'd love to hear what you think - is this a little too left-field for your liking? Was it helpful? Let us know at feedback@swimsmooth.com

We are back with an in-depth conversation today with Bec Johnson, a Type-1 diabetes ultramarathon swimmer coached by Paul Newsome here in Perth, Western Australia. Bec was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at the age of 17 and was determined not to let it ruin and control her active lifestyle, instead, she leaned into it and in 2015 set up the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre in Perth (https://www.type1familycentre.org.au) to inspire others to live a healthy and active life with this incurable disease. This year, Bec is taken on the huge goal of swimming the following 3 ultramarathon swimming events - and Swim Smooth Head Coach Paul Newsome will be with her along the way - coaching from the boat and occasionally keeping pace in the water alongside Bec (if he's not too afraid of the sharks that is!): 1. The Rottnest Channel Swim (19.7km) on 23rd February 2020 2. The Port-to-Pub Channel Swim (25km and the southern hemisphere's 2nd longest swim) on 21st March 2020 3. A 39.4km swim to Rottnest Island and back again (some time in April when the conditions look good!) She is charting her progress through her fund-raising campaign: https://www.lifewithoutlimits.com.au and also on https://www.facebook.com/lifewithoutlimits2020/ and is aiming to raise $85,000 for the Type-1 Diabetes Family Centre (currently she's at $60,038 as of 7th March 2020). Bec is a wonderful ambassador, not just for Type-1 diabetes sufferers, but for everyone in all aspects of life, seeking to squeeze the last drops of fun, joy and adventure in everything she does. She has a super positive outlook filled with gratitude that comes across highly in the podcast and to everyone that she meets. When MP for Stirling Vince Connelly (who features at the start of the podcast) speaks of Bec Johnson and the wonderful work she is doing for diabetes treatment in the Australian Federal Parliament just a few days after the first swim, he calls her an "an absolute powerhouse!" and nothing could more true! This weekend in fact, she will feature on the front cover of the Sunday Times Magazine "STM" in honour of International Women's Day - amazing! She is also the only Australian to have been selected as one of the 100 Fellows of the global Facebook Community Leadership Program and has been nominated for one of the coveted 40 Under 40 awards for her work as co-founder and CEO of the Type-1 Diabetes Family Centre. Prepare to be wowed and inspired by someone who truly raises the benchmark to a whole new level! Oh yeah...and we talk about some swimming too and Bec's training regime in the Swim Smooth Perth Squad ;-) Enjoy! P.S we must apologise for the occasional "welp!" from Paul's pet dog, Sandy! Naughty Sandy!

Paul Newsome from SwimSmooth.com joins us this week for a special edition aimed at helping you improve your swim stroke. Paul is one of the World’s most experienced swim coaches and stroke analysts, having been coaching swimming professionally for over 20 years. The swim smooth method has been adopted by British Triathlon and the ITU for their triathlon coaching courses, and their ‘swim types’ system is great at helping you quickly identify what kind of swimmer you are, and how to rapidly improve.In this episode we cover:The background that led to the formation of SwimSmoothThe Swim Types system, consisting of the following six swim types:ArnieBambinoKicktasticOvergliderSwingerSmoothStroke Rate - how to measure where you’re at, how to find the correct range for your swim type and body size, and how to test what stroke rate will work best for your body and swim stroke.The Finis Tempo Trainer Pro , and why it’s such a useful tool.Paul’s thoughts from having coached Joe Skipper. We also cover the lessons that we can all apply to our own swimming from him having watched Joe’s improvements, and how they’ve translated into his open water racing.Links from this show:Swimsmooth.comhttps://www.swimtypes.com/https://www.swimsmooth.guru/home/Swimsmooth Certified Coach in the UK mentioned in the show- Emma Brunning at http://www.activeblu.co.uk/Show Sponsors:https://www.precisionhydration.com/ - Leaders in triathlete sweat testing and hydration, with multi-strength electrolytes that match how you sweat.

This week we welcome back WA Real’s first ever guest Paul Newsome, founder of Swimsmooth, who opens up on his recent experience and realisation of being a workaholic.  Paul, a very driven and competitive man, very candidly shares how the re-occurrence of a major back injury minutes before departing on a family holiday was the entry in a very dark period that has brought about some very significant revelations about the manner in which he has been living his life and the required changes that he’s beginning to make.We cover a variety of topics including the importance of sleep, how we carry stories from our childhood that shape how we live as adults, the nature of being very achievement focus and how we don’t necessarily listen to those closest to us.The beauty of this conversation is that it freshly captures a superb example of someone waking up to the control and impact of the events and stories that lie deep within us. It captures how if left unchecked these events and stories can such a grip on us that it takes something major to bring them to light and shake us out of it. What is clear by the end of the conversation is how this may just be the best thing to happen to Paul and his swim coaching despite being such a personally painful experience.

This week’s podcast guest, Charlotte, has taught 900 women to swim or coached them to be better swimmers, in the past 6 years. Listening to her think about her own swimming experiences, and how she draws on those to empathise with her clients, I wished I lived at Margaret River in Western Australia so she could coach me. As a young swimmer she explains that swimming is just what she did. She had no concept of feeling body conscious in her togs. She was, as she puts it ‘a selfish sprinter in a pool’ who had Olympic trials before being distracted by student life. But as an adult, when she entered her first open water event, she froze with terror. In another event she had to be rescued as the pace of the pack carried her along and she found she couldn’t breathe. It is these experiences she draws on, as much as her own highly competent understanding of technique, as it will be these things that will hold us back more. She understands how much trust her clients are putting in her. She knows how brave they are being. And that inspires her to face her fears and to push on. Her local group of wild swimmers, the Gnarabup Mermaids provides a local, friendly, welcoming, non-judgemental space where women can dip their toes into wild swimming. all abilities are welcomed and like every good outdoor swimming group, there is a local café for cake and chat afterwards. It is a fabulous thing to find your tribe. It seems to me to be even better if one of that tribe is a coach with a massive amount of empathy who is willing to help you reach your goals, whatever size they may be. I really do wish I lived in Margaret River!

Today we speak with Coach Matt Koorey about all things swim and triathlon coaching, starting with a deep-dive into the anxieties and phobias many of us have around swimming in the open water but are often too embarrassed to admit to and talk about. Recorded on Australia Day, this is the perfect discussion with the perfect Australian coach who was inspired by his own father, John Koorey - the first Australian male to swim across the English Channel in 1969 in a brilliant time of 10h32m - to follow his passion for sport. And let me tell you, there is no one more passionate about this sport of triathlon than Matt (please excuse the odd expletive - it's the passion bubbling to the surface!). Matt has completed both the 3-day Swim Smooth Coach Education Course (2013) and also spent 2 weeks in Perth with Head Coach, Paul Newsome (2015) completing our Certified Coaches program. Whilst not currently operating a swim squad or 1-2-1 sessions, Matt's philosophies and experience very much echo Paul's and the rest of the Swim Smooth coaching team, and to that end, they are very good mates. Matt spent several years being mentored by coach Brett Sutton (arguably the most decorated coach in triathlon history with athletes such as Chrissie Wellington, Nicola Spirig and Daniela Ryf to his coaching credentials). Matt's first for knowledge and improving himself as a coach, athlete, Dad and husband come pouring out of this interview, so we really hope you enjoy! From Matt's website: "Matt Koorey has thirty-five years’ experience as an elite level triathlete. Nineteen years as a professional triathlon coach. Dozens of IRONMAN 70.3 and IRONMAN age group victories to his name. Coach to pro triathlete’s Michael Fox (8h11m IRONMAN) and Alex Polizzi, plus multiple age-group Kona qualifiers. Triathlon isn’t just a sport for Matt. Triathlon coaching isn’t just a job. This is what he was born to do. He’s more passionate about this sport than anyone else on the planet. Working with Matt Koorey isn’t a quick fix, it’s about consistency and commitment for long-term gain. It won’t be easy. He demands focus. He demands excellence. There is no hand-holding. No sugar coating. He tells you what you need to hear because he is as invested in your success as you are. While you don’t need to be a rock-star triathlete with extensive experience, you do need to be dedicated, with a winner mindset, driven to achieve your new personal benchmarks. Matt Koorey’s triathlon coaching programs aren’t open to just anyone. Places are exceptionally limited and he takes on only those who are 100% committed to his philosophy and 100% committed to achieving success. If you’re ready to take your triathlon and/or IRONMAN training to the next level – and experience world class coaching – Matt Koorey is the secret weapon you’ve been looking for." We couldn't agree more! Find out more about Matt at https://www.mattkoorey.com

This raw, lengthy (2h45m!) and in-depth interview with Simon Lessing, 5-time ITU World Triathlon Champion - and Head Coach, Paul Newsome's former training partner - is over 18 years in the making and over a decade since he gave his last audio interview, so be ready for something really special as we dig into the following areas: Simon's background growing up in Apartheid South Africa - what he witnessed and experienced and how this shaped his early years His coaching role model, David McCarney, and his first experiences with swimming one of the world's most prestigious open water swims (the Midmar Mile) at the tender age of 9yrs old and how his stroke technique (which he also terms "Swinger" interestingly enough) really suited him well for open water swimming. We discuss the importance and relevance of this vs the commonly held view that many people are blinded by aesthetics when it comes to understanding what truly makes someone economical in the great outdoors Moving to Europe to race the prestigious French Grand Prix series but the reality and brutality of doing this on zero funds with very little support which Simon attributes positively to his approach to his "do or die" attitude to having to commit and do everything possible to make the best of his talents, hard work and opportunities A run-down of his 5 ITU World Triathlon titles starting in 1992, through 1995 (x2 - Standard and Long Course), 1996 and 1998. Simon also finished 2nd (and denied a 6th title) in a sprint with the Kazakhstan athlete, Dmitry Gaag, who was later banned for the use of EPO Arriving in the UK and how he wasn't universally accepted as being "British" especially up against his great rival, Spencer Smith, who between the two of them, won 8 world titles throughout the 1990s. Simon's mother is British and he is always proud to claim that he never raced for any other country, including his birth country of South Africa. It's easy to look at the 2009 to 2016 period in British triathlon history with the dominance of the Brownlee Brothers and say "that's when Britain really took off in triathlon!" but that would in fact be totally incorrect - Simon's supreme dominance in triathlon over every distance over a period of 20+ years is what truly paved the way and gave everyone in Britain the belief that we could be a true force on the world scene Moving to Bath University as part of the World Class Performance team as funded by the National Lottery in '98/'99 in the build-up to the 2000 Sydney Olympics Games. How effective was this move? How effective was the environment? Was it necessarily the best place for Simon to have been? How did various personalities and agendas play out in arguably the world's leading triathlon training facility at that point in time. Simon's raw and unfiltered look at this period is highly refreshing and gives Paul a wee kick up the bum to boot! Preparing and racing the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. What was the new draft-legal environment like? Did it suit Simon? What was the game plan? How did it unfold? History shows Simon's place of 9th overall was a huge disappointment for himself and everyone that supported him (including Paul Newsome on his couch in Bath with his student mates - including a young Leanda Cave - watching in eager anticipation in the wee hours) and Simon candidly digs into this whole period as we also reflect on the adjustment to Simon's training methodologies to prepare for what was essentially a brand new sport (draft legal) where everything was very new tactically Life after competing and what Simon brings these days to the athletes that are lucky enough to be coached by him You can read more about what Simon is up to these days at www.bouldercoaching.com It is with great appreciation that we thank Simon for this excellent interview!

What an amazing interview we have lined up for you today with the fastest ever female Ironman swimmer, Lucy Charles (UK) and her coach and partner, Reece Barclay (also a professional triathlete)! Interestingly enough, Swim Smooth’s Head Coach, Paul Newsome’s best mate and former swim training partner (Roy Shepherdson), was one of Lucy’s favourite swim coaches back when she was 14 / 15 years of age and Lucy credits Roy with him directing her away from sprint freestyle into distance freestyle and eventually out into the open water. So we thought it’d be pretty cool to bring Coach Roy in on this chat to give an exclusive never-before-heard account of Lucy’s development as a swimmer to being today one of the best swimmers the sport of triathlon has ever seen! How’s that for a coincidence “small world” scene setting scenario! In just the first 60 seconds of this podcast, Lucy’s thoughts and comments epitomise everything that Swim Smooth is all about. Listen to how she refutes the need to look pretty to be effective in the water as she very much embodies our “Swinger” Swim Type (www.swimtypes.com): “People would probably say that my stroke, looking at it from the outside, is a fairly messy stroke - I’ve got a very high turn-over (stroke rate) and I haven’t got much of a leg kick either, so most coaches I ever had would tell me off for not kicking my legs (which I always found quite funny) and no matter what I did - I tried to work on it - but because the front end of the stroke was moving so fast, I just didn’t have the coordination to do that with my legs as well. I think it seems to work pretty well for open water - it’s definitely served me well so far - the key thing is, it might look a little bit messy from above the water but everything under the water is doing what you’re supposed to do and is quite a strong, powerful pull. I think when I was more of a pool swimmer, it was probably a bit of a neater stroke, but I’ve adapted it without really realising it for the open water.” You can read / watch more about Lucy’s stroke here, including a full analysis by Paul Newsome of her stroke: Super-Fish Lucy Charles - The World's Fastest Female Triathlete In Water? (July 2016) We thought it would be even cooler to tag on a short 2 minute segment at the end with an interview between Paul Newsome and Britain’s best ever pool / open water swimmer, David Davies, who took a bronze in the 1500m freestyle in Athens (2004) and a silver in the 10km open water event in Beijing (2008) before famously failing to qualify for the London Olympic Games (2012) due to a new team of coaches who tried to make David look prettier in the water, only to see him do the one thing that his original coach (Dave Haller) said to never do: change what worked for him: “When I swam 1500m in Athens in 2004 (where he won an Olympic bronze medal) I would swim with 40 strokes per length and a stroke rate of 94spm and that was my optimum stroke rate. I could increase my stroke length and look better, but I could never sustain that. When I met Paul and we had this chat it was like “wow, someone understands me and my stroke”. The way I swam was a little different and I used to swim next to Grant Hackett one of the best freestylers of all time - I looked a little like a rag doll next to him but I came pretty close to him in Athens and that was the best way for me to swim. When I started swimming I had a very experienced coach (Dave Haller) but people used to say I had a spider stroke - a very high turn-over and my hips used to swing a bit - but my coach said don’t ever try and change your stroke - that’s the way you’re supposed to swim.” You can watch more about David’s stroke here: https://www.swimsmooth.guru/streamvideo/cLi/cyx/david-davies-on-his-swinger-stroke-style/ (February 2014) Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Tom Hickman is the founder of SE Asia's very first SwimRun event, taking place in Bali on the 5th to 9th December 2018. Head Coach, Paul Newsome, will be partaking in the event on the island of Nusa-Lembogan. In the show Paul and Adam discuss with Tom the issues of plastic wastage facing the oceans and waterways of the world, specifically in the Bali region. We discuss the event itself and how to train up for a SwimRun event including a brief discussion on equipment choices etc. The guys also discuss the charity aspect of the event and how Paul and teammate Brad Smith will be getting their hands dirty on the beaches with a plastics clean-up effort as well as visiting schools and local communities in the region in aid of the Bali Children's Foundation. To donate to this very worthy cause and give the boys a bit of support, please visit: https://balihopeswimrun2018.everydayhero.com/au/team-swim-smooth You might also like to watch this clip of Paul and Andy Blow from Precision Hydration discussing further details of SwimRun equipment choices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGXWEn3M5yk Thanks for listening! We'll be back shortly with an interview with Dean Jackson, the man behind HUUB Design wetsuits.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Swim Smooth Podcast - we are super excited to have 2018 Ironman World Age Group Champion and World Record Holder (8h24m if you don't mind with a 2h50m run off the bike!), Dan Plews, from www.plewsandprof.com joining us on the show to chew the fat about all things "endurance" and to of course divulge some of his wisdom, insight and training tactics and methodologies that resulted in a truly phenomenal result in Kona and 22nd place overall. Dan's amazing 2h50m run was the 5th fastest of the entire day and he gets stuck into telling us exactly how he approached that. His pacing was amazing at between 4:05 and 4:10/km for the full marathon after having split an average of 259w on the way out on the bike course and 261w on the way back - HUGE wattage in a controlled manner for this 74kg athlete! *SPECIAL BONUS MATERIAL* watch Head Coach, Paul Newsome's video analysis of Dan's stroke from September 2017 when Dan announced to Paul his intentions to try and win the overall Age Group award in Kona here: goo.gl/4rNxbT - as you'll discover in the interview, Dan is a huge fan of our www.swimsmooth.guru and used primarily our #RedMist endurance sessions to ready himself for his assault on Kona! Also check out the site www.hrv4training.com which Paul and Dan discuss to explain how Dan's insight into HRV (Heart Rate Variability) testing and monitoring has led to Dan monitoring his training health and recovery in a way that he can predict performance to a good degree of certainty and equally know when to take a day off (or not!). Paul and Adam also deliver their #2kswimeveryotherday challenge and discuss how using a single paddle in your training can really help maximise your stroke! It's a bumper first episode, so please let us know what you think and share far and wide so we can keep pumping out the kind of material that you've come to know and love on our 125,000+ blog subscribership www.feelforthewater.com - thanks!

The world's most passionate swimming coach, Paul Newsome shares his swim coaching journey and the story behind Swimsmooth – the most pre-eminent swim coaching brand. Listen as Paul talks openly about how he learnt to coach the individual rather than the technique, how he developed the Swimsmooth approach to swim coaching in the face of conventional wisdom and how he, together with his business partner, have built Swimsmooth into the company it is today, and the challenges that that success brings. Bryn and Paul also delve into why more and more people are drawn into undertaking big challenges like ironman and solo swims to Rottnest. 

Richard Stuverud was born in Seattle Wa. and began playing drums at very early age. As the punk rock movement was underway in the northwest, Richard found himself playing in various bands, one of which was The Fastbacks. A great initiation with all things rock n roll...(like under age partying while opening up for The Ramones!). In 1990, he signed his first record deal with Columbia recording artists War Babies. While the mid 90's unfolded, Richard went on to play with Jeff Ament to form the group Three Fish, which released 2 records on Sony's Epic label in 1996 and 1999. Staying in demand with session work and touring opportunities while working with various producers and songwriters, Richard has toured with artists Gary Allen in support of Rascal Flatts, (with an unknown taylor swift sharing the bill), as well as U.K. artists Paul Newsome and Proud Mary in support of the Police at the Isle of Wight festival. Richard toured with N.Y.C. band White Light Motorcade in support of the Yeah, Yeah,Yeahs at the Redding Festival, and in support of The Donna's across Europe in 2004. Richard has performed on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon with Tres Mts, which includes members of Pearl Jam and King's X. He also performed with another current band, RNDM on Jimmy Fallon as well as The Conan O'Brian Show, which includes artist extraordinaire Joseph Arthur.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code)   --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: ====================================== [contact-form 3 "AskBen"] ====================================== Andy asks: I trained 20 weeks for an Ironman and completed it last Aug, since then I have not been on my bike or swum at all, and have just started to pick up the running. As a 49 year old male, how much of the muscle mass and memory would I have lost? Jacob asks: I take prescription to help control anxiety/depression, any thoughts on supplements to assist these, and have you herd any science that would indicate that lots of workout volume would either help or hinder anxiety? Mike asks: Ben, now that the ' big four' are all approaching or past 50. Have there been any studies conducted on the long term health effects of ultra endurance training? Perhaps it will take a few more generations to determine the benefits or negative affect. My question pertains to the elites more so than we AG's. Jim asks: I'm looking for a good one a day vitamin to take. Knowing that I am an endurance athlete, what would you recommend? I am open to taking a liquid vitamin if better. Also, can you recommend a great vitamin for my kids (4 and 2)? In my response to Jim, I recommend the kid's multivitamin Kid's Calm (pictured right) Alex asks: I drink lots of water throughout the day to keep hydrated, although I work at an office. I also urinate a lot as a consequence. I heard this is not ideal but I'm not sure what to do. The water I drink comes straight form the water filter or cooler at the office and I use a BPA-free metal bottle. Any advice? ArmiLegge has a call-in question about whether hot exposure or cold exposure burns more calories. Andy asks: Hi Ben. Just listened to Inner Circle Podcast #6, and in it you mentioned the benefits of using a reverse osmosis water filter to remove fluoride from drinking water. However, isn't it true that such a filter would also remove all other potentially good and healthy minerals from the water? Would this loss of the "good" minerals outweigh the benefit of getting rid of the fluoride? And is this something to be concerned about? Alberto asks: I'm 5'5", around 145 lbs, and I look slender. What bothers me is that although I'm pretty much slim looking, I have a beer gut and my goal is to lose the gut and eventually get a 6 pack (I have never been ripped in my life). The problem is that I don't want to lose the the little muscle I have in my arms and legs and I just want to focus in getting rid of the gut, which seems impossible after doing vast amounts of triathlon based cardio and excersice. I would love any suggestions and advice, or maybe if I just follow your Dominator Package training program will do it. Kyle asks: What are your thoughts on the Phi Science products? Their products claim to influence the "zeta potential" of water to make it much easier absorbed by the body. Ron asks: What is your take on trigger point dry needling? Darrell Brown asks: What can you tell us about NADH. Mark asks: Hey Ben, I was reading a magazine (Mens Health 2/10) that cited an Australian study by Anne Barden. She said that taking flax supplement (9 grams every day) increased by 38% the markers of free radical F1-phytoprostane. The gist of the article was to stay away from flax for Omega 3's, and use fish oil. Whats your take on it? In my response to Mark, I mention EnerEFA. Call-in question about pain on the front top of the ankles and top of the foot arch. Chuck asks: I know we've debated post-workout nutrition before, but considering one REALLY is working out hard and doing enough to necessitate recovery nutrition, are the protcols for cardiovascular versus resistance training the same? Should both of these follow a 3-4:1 carbs to protein protocol? I was under this impression, but in meeting with my nutritionist the other day, she said that after weight lifting, your body really only needs the protein as the glycogen expenditure was not as intense as a hard cardio workout. What are your thoughts? -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
