The Long Munch - Nutrition for Runners, Cyclists & Triathletes
Supplements contaminated with banned substances are an athlete's worst nightmare. In this episode we'll understand how much risk there actually is of testing positive from nutrition supplement use. And if you're not an elite athlete and don't think this is relevant to you - think again.

We hear about the influence of data and science in sports every day. You can't watch an NFL game without hearing “the analytics say this is the right decision.” So it should come as no surprise that the world's best swimmers work with experts to find speed anywhere possible. Enter Nick Smith and the field of “movement science.” He's worked with Cam McEvoy in his ascent to the top of the sprinting world, as well as other Aussie swim stars like Ariarne Titmus and Shayna Jack to name a couple, with the objective of understanding how the body moves through water, where in the race there is room to improve, and helping craft that improvement. Nick Smith is an expert and is part of why Cam McEvoy told us in Episode #150 about his target time to 15m being a huge priority and how he was able to achieve it en route to his World Championship title in the 50m Freestyle. Check this one out to learn how Nicholas Smith, Queensland Academy of Sport and Team Australia are leveraging science to achieve results in the pool. Enjoy!

What would you do if your child got offered a sporting contract? How would you feel? It would be a pretty special moment. Well, imagine this. What if your child gets offered TWO sporting contracts, in TWO sports, in ONE weekend! It is EXACTLY what happened — at the end of last year — to our guest on the show today.In our conversation with sports mum Nicole Dennis, she talks us through this very situation, when her daughter Heidi got offered contracts with both Brisbane Roar Football Club and the Queensland Academy of Sport Reds Rugby Sevens program — at the same time.What's going to be best for her? How's it going to work being a dual-contracted athlete? Is it even possible? These are some of the many questions that were racing through Nicole's mind during what she describes at “the most exciting and mentally draining time”.You'll hear about Heidi's early years in sport, where she showed natural talent from a young age — and the one attribute that has really helped Heidi to stand out. Plus, how Nicole and her husband have sports parented all of their four kids, including how they've had to fine-tune her approach over the years.The episode start with THAT moment — the one they didn't see coming.HOSTS: John and Tiffany BonaseraPRODUCER: Tiffany BonaseraCONTACT US: tiffany@sportsparenthood.com.au
Lawyers “have an obligation to give back”, Paula Robinson argues. Not only it is incumbent upon practitioners to use their privilege for good, she says, but it also helps them better serve their clients and businesses. On this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Ailier principal Paula Robinson – who is also chair of the Queensland Academy of Sport Advisory Board, chair of Tennis Australia's National Gender Equality Task force, vice-president of Football Queensland and former vice-president of Tennis Queensland – to discuss why wearing numerous hats and garnering executive experience can be critical to one's success as a boutique firm leader. The pair delve into Ms Robinson's journey as a management executive prior to her legal career, how such experience served her in legal practice, how she balances wearing so many hats, the importance of giving back, and the practical steps that other firm owners can take to garner such executive experience.

Today's show features Dr. Chris Gaviglio. Chris is a current senior strength and conditioning coach for the Queensland Academy of Sport, working with Olympic-based sports and athletes. Chris has been involved with elite sport for over 15 years working across multiple Olympic sports and professional football in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Chris provides applied sports science projects for the athletes he works with, particularly in the areas of salivary hormones, passive heat maintenance, blood flow restriction training, warm-up strategies, and power/strength development. I don't often do shows that center around a piece of training technology, and the main reason for that is simply accessibility. If a training tool costs thousands of dollars, it isn't something a large proportion of the athletic, and even coaching population can rationalize having in their training arsenal. The nice thing about blood flow restriction training is that it is available at a relatively low price point, with common units starting around $300USD. Other setups using squat wraps, for example, can be done basically for free, but I would recommend using an automated system for the safety and precision of band tightness (see show notes regarding safety considerations and contraindications to BFR, such as concussions or deep vein thrombosis). Blood Flow restriction training has been a training tool that has been on my radar for a long time. After seeing the results that a high-level Olympic swimmer I worked with got from them, and then hearing some results from Nicolai Morris having a 1.5 second drop in the 100 freestyle of a swimmer as well, as well as several of my coaching colleagues using the method, I knew that there was absolutely something to BFR that I needed to get further into. In using the AirBands from Vald performance myself, I continued to realize how beneficial this training stimulus is to our physiological response. For today's show, Chris takes us into many topics of BFR, including its mechanisms and many benefits. As opposed to methods of mechanical stress (such as plyometrics, sprinting, heavy strength training methods) which tend to dominate this shows podcasts) BFR is a physiological stressor, and through this discussion, we can gain an appreciation for the contrast of physiological stress to more mechanical means. Chris finishes the show talking about how coaches and athletes can integrate BFR training, and gives many anecdotes and points of research, on how BFR can improve strength and speed recovery. Finally, our sponsor, Simplifaster is doing a Blood Flow Restiction cuff giveaway (Vald Airbands) so if you would like to get in on that, until November 11th, you can sign up for a chance to win a free pair of cuffs at bit.ly/freebfr .

Queensland Academy of Sport will launch the largest sporting talent search in Australia's history, partnering with schools and sporting codes to identify and develop 400 young athletes under a new high-performance strategy. Queenslanders aged 60 and older cannot yet access any vaccine other than AstraZeneca, despite ample supply of alternative jabs and other State's allowing choice. The performance of Queensland's emergency departments could be worse than officially reported with a damning new report revealing hospitals are “cleansing” data and misusing short stay units to fudge wait times. Broncos forwards Tom Flegler and Jordan Riki have been embroiled in a silly season bust-up in a fiery postscript to Brisbane's disappointing 2021 NRL campaign.

Today I'm talking to Katie McGibbon, a Performance Scientist in Swimming currently working in Australia. She shares with me one of the most important skills that should be developed by athletes and a little about her PhD research. Though Katie is originally from the UK she is currently staying in Australia for good reasons. She tells me that there's really no better place than the Queensland Academy of Sport to study high level swimmers like she does. It's a culture where everyone grows up swimming so the talent pool is deep - making for plenty of research subjects. One of her research projects she shares with me focuses on pacing profiles and she tells me about how people pace in competitions versus training. Though many of the identified strategies that could help swimmers be faster seem obvious on the surface, the culture and psychology holding people back is deeper than the data. Because the pool is inherently not a laboratory with precise measurements and instruments; Katie shares some ways on how she measures a person's pace. As well as a unique strategy being used by swimmers that results in better pacing profiles.

Dr. John Sullivan shares why “The Brain always Wins” on PHIT for a Queen The Brain is the Governor connected by the vagus nerve The brain hasn’t been viewed as cool because we don’t tell a good story about it. Why we should view mental health as brain health- “we don’t know what human consciousness is” Breath rate manages heart rate which also manages the brain. Shares how brain management starts with PROCESS- listen to find what those stand for When you can regulate heart rate and respiration rate you can regulate emotion. Leaving you to be able to “see and do” emotion regulation, pattern recognition. What if we viewed nutrition as the messages received to optimize brain health and function versus physical function? - “nutrition is neurotransmitters. “ Does our lack of social connection- eye to eye, hand to hand impact our brain health? http://www.thebrainalwayswins.com/home.html https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Always-Wins-Improving-Management/dp/1909273732 Some of the proceeds go back to the military where they can continue to study the brain and the impacts on war.

Today’s episode features Angus Ross, physiologist and strength coach at High Performance Sport New Zealand. Angus is making his second appearance on the podcast, and is following up on his initial chat on aspects of eccentric strength training with lots of practical knowledge in the realms of stiffness, fascia, and performance. Angus has worked with a number of sports at an elite level within the NZ system including sprint cycling and skeleton in recent years. Angus has a PhD in exercise physiology from the University of Queensland and has also worked within the Australian institute system with stints at both the Queensland Academy of Sport and the Australian Institute of Sport. He is also a Winter Olympian in his own right having competed at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Games. Angus is one of the most intelligent, and curious coaches I know, as well as incredibly pragmatic, seeking what works and delivers results. As with any training method, eccentric training is just one tool for the job, and learning about the means, and how it fits into the total training process also opens up the questions of usage of training such as maximal overcoming isometrics and plyometrics, as well as monitoring which athletes might respond optimally to one method or the other, or knowing which sequence these means should be presented in over the course of a training year. On today’s podcast, we will go in depth on double versus single leg stiffness, and what that means for team sport athletes versus track and field sprinters. We’ll also cover the benefits and use of plyometrics versus overloaded eccentric training, and how to look at using these methods in the course of a training year. Finally, Angus has some fantastic thoughts and ideas on muscular versus fascial driven athletes that resonate with many of my own thoughts and things seen in previous podcasts, such as our recent episode with Randy Huntingon. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: New happenings with Angus Ross Reactive strength and stiffness in sprinting Double versus single leg stiffness Maximal isometric or overcoming exercise versus plyometrics Ways Angus has been experimenting with a more frequent alteration of the training stimulus How fascial driven athletes can benefit from exercise that helps “fascial tightness” How muscle driven athletes can often PR after a few weeks of rest or almost complete rest Angus’ thoughts on velocity based training EMS and strength performance Quotes: “I’m sure stiffness from sprint data would show the same things as a single leg drop jump (athletes deficient in a single leg drop jump leak energy at maximal velocity)” “The plyos might really develop tendon stiffness, while the longer slower contractions (i.e. supramaximal type work) still might develop some stiffness, but may also develop compliance as well” “If I was going to periodize it, I might be doing some supramaximal eccentric work with some isometric work initially, because they marry well in addressing tendon properties, and you could do it with a small amount of plyos, and then morph until faster eccentric work, and towards plyos” “The great coaches have the intuition to change (the emphasis of the program) when needed” “When you got the motor patterns from 20 years of plyos in the system, they are there, if you makea change in the system, you will improve” “What I’ve been doing essentially is a 4 week block on repeat, with a different week each block… for some athletes it’s worked great, but other athletes don’t feel like they are getting enough time on a stimulus” “Changing the stimulus on a regular basis is a good thing…. some people it’s worked really well for” “Some people are more resilient towards maintaining their fiber populations than others,
