This week we are bringing you one of our favourite episodes from Season 2. An episode that Nicola and Di recorded at Hamilton Island Race Week where they interviewed a collection of world-class sailors. This week’s episode brings you all 4 of those inspiring chats. First up we talk to Alice Parker - a remarkable 30-year old navigator who’s raced in 4 Sydney to Hobarts, as the only female on an all-male crew, as well as several world championships that have taken her to many different countries. We hear about Alice’s best moment at sea, as well as the most frightening, which happened during one of her Sydney to Hobarts. Not only is Alice an incredible young sailor, she’s also a physiotherapist and is back studying at uni again to upskill in some maths and physics. You’ll want to hear Alice’s answer for who she wants to meet at the back fence because it’s truly beautiful. We then get the chance to chat with Mark Richards, the sailor and boat builder that many listeners would know as the long time skipper of Wild Oats, who has won the Sydney to Hobart a stunning 9 times! We hear the amazing story of how Mark got started in sailing and how he credits it to being adopted by the right people. Mark tells some great stories about his friendship with Bob Oatley, the comradery of the sailing community as well as his greatest achievements and most harrowing moments at sea. Our third conversation is with the dynamic sailor girl Nic Douglass. When you listen in to this chat you’ll hear just how much passion and enthusiasm Nic has for sailing. Having just returned from the Olympics where Nic was part of the team commentating for the crowds on-the-ground in Marseille, we hear how the work she does now and the media company she started actually came after she was at one of her low points when she didn’t qualify for the London Olympics in 2012. Nic is proof that sometimes it’s the low moments in our lives and careers that become turning points and lead to really great opportunities. Finally, we talk to the incredible Stacey Jackson who has sailed in a whopping 16 Sydney to Hobarts and is nowhere near stopping! Not only that but Stacey has also competed in a 9-month round-the-world race not once, but twice including conquering Cape Horn, which is known as the Mt Everest of the sailing world. We hear what it was like the first time Stacey sailed around the world and the most incredible story of how her crew survived after their mast broke shortly after they’d rounded Cape Horn on her second trip around the world. Stacey was also the skipper on Wild Oats when Julie Bishop famously jumped off the back of the boat after the start of the race in Sydney. This episode is full of so many great stories and wonderful personalities. It was so much fun recording on location up in Hamilton Island and we really hope you love tuning in to this one.

Challenge Roth liegt hinter uns – und wir sprechen über den unglaublichen Hype rund um das Rennen, Sam Laidlows Sticheleien gegen Christian Blummenfelt und unsere persönlichen Eindrücke von der Race Week. Außerdem diskutieren wir über die Hitzerennen in Frankfurt und Nizza, Daniels Gedanken zu einem möglichen Roth-Comeback und warum Sören das Lauftraining gerade gegen Tennis eingetauscht hat. Wie immer mit ehrlichen Rants, persönlichen Geschichten und einigen Abschweifungen, die am Ende doch irgendwie zum Triathlon dazugehören.RACE WEEK RADIO! In dieser Rubrik treffen sich Triathlet und Co-Host Daniel Jugan (12-facher Langdistanz Finisher) und Watt is los Host Sören jeden zweiten Sonntag zum Buddytalk, um sich nach Daniels Umzug von Berlin nach Köln weiterhin regelmäßig updaten zu können.

Vier Wochen nach dem Ironman in Hamburg steht der Challenge in Roth an und wir sind bereit. Also jedenfalls so bereit, wie man nach einer Hitzewelle sein kann.
We sit down with sports dietitian Hanah Mills to map out a practical fuelling plan for the Gold Coast Marathon and half marathon, from taper week to the finish line. We unpack gut issues, carb loading, hydration, caffeine, sodium, and what to do when race day logistics throw your usual routine out. • solo travel lessons and what Blue Zones get right about health and happiness • building a flexible mindset around food without sacrificing performance goals • learning from race-week stress and IBS symptoms during half marathon prep • separating IBS from common runner's gut and why the fix depends on the cause • using low FODMAP strategies for carb loading and pre-race meals • gut training basics and why you should stick with what you've practised • taper-week nutrition and why maintenance energy beats cutting calories • carb loading targets in grams per kilo and what “proper” looks like • hydration needs during the carb load and how to check urine colour • race morning carb top-ups and avoiding fibre fat and too much protein • caffeine dosing ranges timing and when caffeine gels make more sense • sodium marketing myths and when electrolytes may still help via thirst • cramp reality check neuromuscular fatigue pickle juice and mouth rinse tricks • post-race recovery carbs hydration protein and a note on magnesium research Be sure to check us out across all forms of social media and subscribe to this channel if you want to stay up to date to the latest episodes and any other anecdotes with which we might share across these video platforms.

Challenge Roth steht vor der Tür – und natürlich sprechen Daniel und ich über Race Week, Sam Laidlow, neue Technik und die besondere Atmosphäre rund um das Rennen. Gleichzeitig wird es überraschend persönlich: Warum fühlt sich die heutige Lauf- und Triathlon-Community manchmal exklusiver als früher? Außerdem geht es um Verletzungen, Motivation, Social Media, ehrliche Produktempfehlungen und die kleinen Geschichten, die den Sport erst richtig ausmachen – von Snoopy-Unterhosen bis Polizeiunfällen.

Endurance Nerd Talk – Über Ausdauersport und Triathlon: Training, Equipment, Ernährung, Szene
Race Week in Frankfurt – und Jan Stratmann ist zurück im Triathlon-Chat. Nach zwei Infekten, abgesagtem Kraichgau-Start und einer alles andere als ruhigen Vorbereitung spricht Jan mit Nick und Nils über seine letzten Wochen vor dem Ironman Frankfurt, den Formaufbau nach der Krankheit und warum der unfreiwillige Break vielleicht sogar genau richtig kam. Im Fokus steht natürlich die erwartete Hitzeschlacht: 37 Grad, heißer Asphalt, warmes Wasser und die Frage, wie man bei solchen Bedingungen überhaupt noch klug raced. Es geht um Kühlstrategien, Verpflegung, Stirnband vs. Cap, Special Needs, Hitzeanpassung in der Race Week – und warum Körpergefühl am Ende wichtiger sein kann als jede Pace-Vorgabe. Außerdem diskutieren die drei das starke Profi-Feld in Frankfurt, Kona-Slots, Renntaktik und Jans klare Haltung: Nicht einfach safe qualifizieren, sondern vorne mitracen. Dazu gibt's Stratis Schwimmphilosophie mit viel „stumpf ist Trumpf“, lange Serien, ehrliches Training und natürlich ein bisschen Race-Week-Chaos inklusive Kettenwachs-Odyssee.

Diese Woche haben wir eine ganz besondere Episode für euch: Wir senden quasi live aus der Race-Week! Daniela Bleymehl ist unser Gast und gibt uns exklusive Insights kurz vor ihrem großen Langdistanz-Comeback beim Ironman Südafrika. Außerdem blicken wir auf die bittere Realität des Profisports und verneigen uns vor den Frühjahrsklassikern im Radsport.Das steckt in dieser Episode:Danis Langdistanz-Comeback: Nach anderthalb Jahren Babypause steht Dani wieder an der Startlinie eines Ironman. Wir sprechen über ihre zu 99,9 % perfekte Vorbereitung , den extrem wichtigen 8-Stunden-Schlaf in der Rennwoche und warum sie den letzten Longrun ganz bewusst abgebrochen hat.Material-Nerd-Talk extrem: Wie ein gefährlich wackelnder Carbon-Rahmen das Training sabotierte und das Problem erst durch einen neuen steifen Sattel von Fred Funk und cleveren Modellbau-Kleber-Einsatz gelöst wurde.IM Südafrika Männer-Preview: Ist das Männerrennen auf dem Papier dieses Jahr wirklich die "leichteste" Kona-Quali?. Wir tippen das Podium und analysieren das erwartete Duell zwischen Matthew Marquardt und Lokalmatador Jamie Riddle.Wenn der Körper streikt: Wir sprechen über die bittere Absage von Fred Funk, der durch einen heftigen Magen-Darm-Infekt 8 Kilo verlor , und Magnus Ditlevs Ausfall durch Gürtelrose – ein klassisches Zeichen für ein völlig überreiztes Immunsystem auf absolutem Weltklasse-Niveau.Radsport-Ekstase pur: Absolute Fanboy-Momente zu Paris-Roubaix! Wir feiern den emotionalen Sieg von Wout van Aert und Nick erzählt, wie er das legendäre Rennen und den Reifenwechsel-Krimi von Mathieu van der Poel per Audio-Kommentar auf seinem eigenen Longrun verfolgt hat.Behind the Scenes: Nils berichtet von seiner absoluten Panik-Attacke als kurzzeitiger Babysitter für Danis Tochter Emy und einem überraschenden Aufeinandertreffen mit Ironman Head-Referee Jimmy Ricchitello.

It's RACE WEEK for the 2026 Australian Grand Prix. FINALLY, we have a race, but will we have a race at the Albert Park after all? Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah predict the outcomes from the 2026 Australian Grand Prix. Hold onto your helmets—Formula One is racing toward a future that's equal parts innovation, chaos, and caffeinated predictions. Imagine a sport where close overtakes, sneaky energy management, and “Flappy Wings” are the norm, not the punchline. 0:03 - Odyssey into the future of F1 – the Inside Line F1 pod vision for a sustainable, battery-enabled future. 0:28 - Dreaming up a new F1 – closer overtaking, budget cap, new manufacturers, and the question of it being good. 0:55 - The journey begins – is this new era good, who sets the pace, how many cars finish first? 1:16 - Drinking-game framing – first: modes, Flappy Wings, and energy talk as a playful premise for the episode. 2:12 - Key terms introduced – overtaking mode, boost mode, straight mode; why these matter and the energy conversation that follows. 3:00 - Energy harvesting context – Melbourne vs. Monza, four-megajoule storage, eight-and-a-half-megajoules per lap regen, and what changes in 2026. 3:34 - Fuel homologation discussion – what's homologated and the questions around first-race winners. 4:02 - First predictions – who wins the first race; Mercedes fuel homologation considerations. 4:56 - Podium predictions – two Mercedes–powered cars on the podium, with speculation on McLaren/others. 6:13 - Fan comments and realism – how viewers like Sadhana and Sarika weigh in on predictions. 7:12 - Finishing expectations – a spirited debate on how many cars will finish (DNFs vs finishers). 9:00 - Melbourne energy-regeneration deep dive – circuit characteristics, braking opportunities, and how regen shapes strategy. 10:52 - Battery dynamics explained – energy storage, harvesting per lap, and the concept of regen-driven performance. 12:21 - The frontier of energy management – why this topic matters and how it could redefine racing narratives. 14:07 - Overtakes and braking discipline – how many drivers will lock up; the evolving definition of a genuine overtake. 15:26 - Russell's win narrative and pole talk – pole favorites and the evolving lookout for race Winners. 16:23 - Leclerc/Russell statistics and overtake dynamics – how specs, grip, and battery affect racing reality. 18:45 - Overtake counts – bold predictions: 30 vs 60+ overtakes; chaos vs merit-driven moves. 22:29 - Grid-start drama – Bottas' start, grid penalties, Cadillac/Audi implications, and what the open grid could imply. 24:20 - McLaren and midfield chatter – Norris vs Piastri; where McLaren stands in the new era. 28:34 - Teammates and competitiveness – Verstappen vs Russell-era dynamics, gap analyses, and team strategies. 32:03 - Car lights and signaling – post-harvest indicators; what the lights tell us about energy deployment on track. 34:20 - Qualifying predictions – pole contenders, gaps, and the contested under/over one-lap pace in a resource-constrained era. 41:24 - Ex-racer watch – ex-driver-to-watch picks and the role of new racers like Arvid in 2026. 42:59 - Broadcast graphics and on-track SM boards – visualization of straight modes vs overtakes, and the new cadence of racing graphics. 46:38 - Upgrades and the Aston Martin case – who brings upgrades and what the Macarena wing debate hints at for Australia. 49:09 - Concorde-like commitments and Aston Martin – regulatory/operational imperatives and the potential penalties. 50:36 - Final wrap – what we want to leave Melbourne GP feeling like; closing notes and race-weekend expectations. 52:29 - Closing – post-Australia reflections and wrap-up cues. #F1 #F12026 Learn more about your ad choices.

Rob is in Florida this week with Dallas kicking off his 2026 racing season at Auburndale Speedway in Winter Haven. It's a five-day national Legends tournament — practice, qualifying, and racing every single day — with Dallas running the Semi-Pro class in the white #13. The goal this season is simple: run the biggest Legends events possible, graduate up and out of the class, and take the next step forward in his racing career. While that action unfolds in real time, we're setting the stage for Daytona week the best way we know how. To celebrate the Daytona 500, we're revisiting our full review of Days of Thunder — still the greatest racing movie ever made. Yes, it's “Top Gun in a stock car,” and that's exactly why it works. We break down the racing roots of Cole Trickle, the Harry Hogge mentorship arc, the real NASCAR influences behind the film, and why quotes like “Rubbin', son, is racin'” still live rent-free in every race fan's brain. Released in 1990, directed by Tony Scott, and starring Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall, Nicole Kidman, and Michael Rooker, the film earned nearly $158 million worldwide and remains a cornerstone of modern racing pop culture. If it's Daytona week, it's time for Days of Thunder. The post K&F Show #356: Dallas Race Week, Florida Speed, and Daytona Fever // NASCAR Movie Review + Days of Thunder first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

Alberga, Hahn and Meaney keep up with all the hot teams in the Atlantic Division and find ways to tap into the Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens.

Jensen joins the show for this week's fantasy waiver wire pickups, including some intriguing names for deep leagues like Marat Khusnutdinov, Alex Laferriere, Kasperi Kapanen and K'Andre Miller and other advanced stats standouts. Then, in "On the Money," presented by Bet365.ca, the guys have their favorite sides and props for the week ahead, including the "Hughes Bowl" between the Devils and Minnesota Wild on Monday.

Alberga, Hahn and Meaney take fan mailbag questions on players from around the NHL, including whether to sell high on red-hot Minnesota Wild rookie goalie Jesper Wallstedt. The guys discuss mid-week waiver wire pickups like Washington Capitals rookie forward Ryan Leonard and Buffalo Sabres' No. 1 center Josh Norris, who's back from injury, as well as replacement options for injured Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin. Then, in "On the Money," presented by Bet365.ca, the guys are joined by Tim Kalinowski from Snapback Sports to dive into some betting trends, from NHL Awards races to division title contenders and prop angles for upcoming games.
Episode 114 takes us to Cape Town as Corrine gives a full UTCT race recap, reflecting on why she returned to the Deep South, the big-volume training block leading in, and the challenges of racing after travel sickness and time zone chaos. We talk pacing through the first 50 kilometers, fueling decisions, and what makes a night start feel uniquely disorienting. The conversation touches on heat training, mental reframing, and the honest emotional landscape of managing expectations when things out of your control land in your lap during race week. We also round up an exceptionally fast weekend of racing across the globe including standout results from the JFK 50 Mile, the competitive UTCT podium battles, and record-breaking runs at the Quad Dipsea. Wrapping with recovery plans, what is coming next, and a Society Slam covering ultralight waterproof jacket recommendations and the wide range of pregnancy running experiences, this episode brings together community, science, and the real-life messiness of training and performing.

Learn why you taper, what a smart taper actually looks like, and why “carb-loading” isn't a one-size solution. Coaches Caroline and Valerie break down race-week intensity vs. volume, practical taper templates, real fueling rules you should test in training, and step-by-step actions to arrive at the start line fresh, confident, and race-ready.✅ Key takeaways✅ Taper purpose: reduce fatigue while preserving the fitness you earned — not to “rust” you into race day.✅ Pull intensity more than you pull volume — keep short, familiar runs so legs stay springy.✅ Two-hour long runs (or time-based training) beat arbitrary 20-mile checks for most recreational runners.✅ Test nutrition in training — gels, real food, and carb strategies are highly individual; don't experiment on race day.✅ Split volume (two shorter runs a day or back-to-back long-ish days) builds time-on-feet safely when you can't do a single multi-hour block.✅ Strength & drills during taper week: short, low-intensity strength and hop/drill work preserves neuromuscular readiness without adding fatigue.✅ Practical race-week checklist (sleep, hydration, kit, warm-up, pacing plan) beats myths like one-time “mega” carb dumps.Suggested episode chapters (no timestamps)Welcome & why tapering scares runnersWhat a taper is — physiology & recovery principlesRace-week strategy: intensity vs. volume (what to cut and what to keep)Two-hour rule and time-based training vs. mile-based thinkingCarb-loading: what it helps, what it doesn't, and how to test fueling in trainingPractical week-by-week taper templates (example approaches)Race-week checklist & pacing adviceFinal coaching tips & where to get helpActionables you can do this weekReplace one long weekend run with two shorter runs (AM + PM) to experiment with split volume.Do 3×30s ball-of-foot hops after warmup to preserve elasticity without fatigue.Run a practice fueling session: test the exact gel/real food and timing you'll use on race day.
We chocolatized our life before this amazing episode! The main topic was a new study on elite marathoners measuring responses to different carb intakes, finding a 2.6% lower oxygen cost at 120 grams per hour compared to 60 grams per hour. It showed massive carb oxidation rates at high outputs. In 10 years, we might look back on this study as a game-changing moment in the science of endurance performance. And this one had so many cool topics! Other topics: Megan's biggest uphill treadmill threshold workout, David's Zwift racing, the strange connection between energy intake and iron deficiency, how hydration could influence stress responses, the predictive power of smiling in pre-race photos, Anne Flower's 50 mile world record, other records at Tunnel Hill, whether to walk onto the track team, offseason layoffs, race week nutrition, and AI messaging.Stick around for a beautiful affirming Listener Corner message!
