Be smaller. Be lighter. For our entire lives those messages have been drilled into us from every angle, including very often from those in our sports. We hear we need to be at “race weight.” We're shown “idealized” images of what female athletes “should” look like. It's all incredibly damaging, especially as we hit menopause and midlife and our bodies start to change. It's also based on BS. Women with cellulite and extra body fat win races. Women who are well-fueled outperform those who are not. There is no one magic number on the scale or body fat percentage that makes us a success. All the destructive messages that make us hate our bodies feed the diet culture machine. This week we sat down with coach and sports dietitian Marni Sumbal to dismantle that machine and help us find body peace, so we don't spend the next chapters of our lives in an endless war with ourselves. Marni Sumbal MS, RD, CSSD, LD/N is the owner of Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition, a coaching and nutrition company based in Greenville, South Carolina, which she runs with her husband and RETUL bike fit expert, Karel Sumbal. Marni is a 3x author, board certified sports dietitian and holds a master of science in exercise physiology. She is a 19x Ironman finisher, 2x XTRI finisher, and 6x Ironman World Championship finisher. You can learn more about her and her services at trimarnicoach.com.

At this point, you may have been doing your sport for a decade, maybe two…or more. It's easy to fall into a rut or lose your spark. The hormonal changes that come with the menopause transition also can make training more challenging and put a dent in your motivation. Trying a new challenge and/or working with a new coach can help you find your why and feel fired up again. This week, we pull back the curtain and talk about what that coaching process looks like as host Selene Yeager sits down with triathlon coach Marni Sumbal to talk through how they got Selene Ironman 70.3 ready after a 15-year hiatus from triathlon. Marni Sumbal is co-owner of Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition, a coaching and nutrition company based in Greenville, South Carolina, which she runs with her husband and RETUL bike fit expert, Karel Sumbal.

Jason Williams is the Senior Sports Scientist in the Human Performance division at Specialized and a bike fitter at Retul, a Specialized brand that's focused on delivering technically advanced bike fitting and product matching technology. Retul works with top level athletes and uses collected data to help inform product design, notably the Specialized Body Geometry line. In this episode we ask: Is bike fitting today different than it was 10 or 20 years ago? Have bike fits always been so data-driven? Has bike fit data traditionally been fed back into bike design? How are current trends in mountain bike frame geometry like steeper seat tube angles and longer reach affecting bike fit? Is there tension between a good bike fit, and the idea of a “normal-looking” bike setup? How do ride dynamics play into bike fitting? Are you able to optimize a rider's weight distribution on the mountain bike? Is there an easy way to tell if you are running the proper bar width for your body? What are the considerations for sizing up or down? Are there riders who could benefit from shorter or longer crank lengths? Are ergonomics a part of bike fitting, for example brake lever and shifter setup? Do customizable electronic controls help? What are some of the interesting things Retul has learned fitting professional and amateur riders alike?

How is your riding position? On paper, a bike fit is an applied science. In practice, a proper bike fit is an art. In a space where a few millimeters here and a few degrees there make all the difference, it's no wonder that many triathletes will travel far and wide to find a fitter that knows his or her craft. Joining us for today's show, to teach us everything triathletes need to know about bike fits, is master fitter Craig Faulk. Listen in as Craig details what goes into finding your best position for the optimal mix of comfort, power, and aerodynamics!

Pat Casey is a USA Triathlon Level 2 Coach, CSCS, Team USA Age Group Coach, and Retul certified bike fit expert. His background as an elite road cyclist stemmed into his consulting and coaching career, which allows him to combine his love of cycling and triathlon with his devotion to helping people improve their quality of life, and realize their athletic potential through endurance sports. Pat grew up in St. Louis, Missouri where he spent the months he wasn't playing ice hockey riding his mountain bike. He was introduced to cross country racing and joined the St. Louis-based cycling team when he was 15. At this time, Pat also got a job as an aspiring bike mechanic, and to this day, still wears his “mechanic hat” after 13 years in bike shops. During summer of 2012, Pat rode his bike from San Francisco, CA to Boston, MA in support of Partners in Health, a Global Health organization that had largely inspired his move to Alabama after graduation. Getting back to racing in Alabama, Pat found himself on the podium and moved up in Category quickly with help from his coach at the time, Heather. Instead of continuing on his path towards graduate school, Pat wanted to see where his dream of professional bike racing would take him. In 2014, Pat and Heather loaded up and moved their lives to Park City, Utah and Pat joined the Canyon Bicycles-Shimano Domestic Elite Cycling Team. He spent the following spring and summer months (2015 and 2016) traveling the US on the domestic PRT (Professional Road Tour) Circuit, followed by a year with the New Orleans-based team, Palmer Cycling who would help get him to a myriad of PRT events in the role of Rider and Director for the small squad. In this role, Pat found himself more useful as a team leader and coach than as a rider. In 2018, racing has become an outlet for competition, but Pat's passion for coaching and devotion to his athletes has outdistanced his desire to spend as much time on the road. He still races as a Cat 1 in Utah, and you can find him at Tuesday Night Worlds races at RMR, and the occasional weekend criterium. https://www.peakstatefit.com pat@peakstatefit.com

Pat grew up in St. Louis, Missouri where he spent the months he wasn't playing ice hockey riding his mountain bike. Pat and Heather moved to Utah in 2014 to pursue living and working in one of the world's finest locations for endurance athletes - Salt Lake City!

This deaf-blind Paralympian was told to navigate Tokyo alone. So she quit Team USA. TIMONIUM, Md. — Five years ago, Becca Meyers was on the floor of her room in the Olympic Village at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, balled up and sobbing, frustrated and terrified. She had stopped eating because she couldn't find the athletes' dining area. Even after her parents rescued her and pumped her full of calories and confidence in time for her to win three gold medals and a silver for Team USA, she made a promise to herself: She would never put herself through such a nightmare again. On Sunday evening, roughly five weeks before the start of the Tokyo Paralympics, Meyers, a deaf-blind swimmer with a chance to medal in four events, pulled the plug on her Olympic dream — most likely forever. With a click, she sent an email informing U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee officials of her decision to withdraw from Team USA. Gwen Jorgensen is Leaving Bowerman Track Club After four years at the Nike-sponsored club coached by Jerry Schumacher, Gwen Jorgensen announced today that she's leaving Bowerman Track Club to be coached by Bobby McGee, who she has worked with in the past. In a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Jorgensen explained that a mix of career and family goals led to this decision. “I've had two marathons that just haven't proven I can do it,” she said. “I want to just have a marathon, that's like, OK, I can run this.” She and her husband, Patrick Lemieux, are also looking for a new place to live and are considering having more children. Jorgensen won the Olympic gold at the Rio Games in 2016 in triathlon, and announced a year later she would shift to running, with a focus on medaling in the marathon. Due to extended recovery after heel surgery to repair Haglund's deformity in May 2019, she didn't end up competing in the Olympic marathon trials last year—in early 2020, she decided to focus on the track. “My goals in the marathon aren't changing. My timeline is,” she said at the time. What's New in the 303: REMEMBERING MIKE GREER – A PIONEER, INNOVATOR AND FRIEND An athlete, race director, official, volunteer, author and speaker. A coach and a mentor. An inspiration and an innovator. A pioneer of the sport and a titan of the community. Mike Greer, who dedicated his life to triathlon and the multisport community, passed away at 82 on July 21. His service to the sport spanned nearly four decades and encompassed every facet of the industry. The Funeral service is planned for Monday, July 26 at 1 p.m. CT in Lubbock, Texas at the Sanders Funeral Home. Mike competed in over 400 triathlons across every distance and continued to excel as an age-group athlete into his 80s, created and served as the race director of Buffalo Springs Lake 70.3 at Lubbock, Texas, for the past 30-plus years, held the position of both Interim Executive Director and President of the Board of Directors of USA Triathlon, and created the swim-bike discipline of aquabike, among other accomplishments and contributions. Mike was one of the forerunners of the sport who guided triathlon through its formative years to bring it stability, authenticity and solvency, and laid the foundation for the current success of both the sport and the National Governing Body. “All of us stand on the shoulders of Mike – what he did for our sport and USA Triathlon cannot be overstated,” said Rocky Harris, USA Triathlon CEO. “He taught all of us so much about both triathlon and life, and his legacy will have a lasting impact in every corner of our industry and community.” Ride/Race Mt.

This deaf-blind Paralympian was told to navigate Tokyo alone. So she quit Team USA. TIMONIUM, Md. — Five years ago, Becca Meyers was on the floor of her room in the Olympic Village at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, balled up and sobbing, frustrated and terrified. She had stopped eating because she couldn't find the athletes' dining area. Even after her parents rescued her and pumped her full of calories and confidence in time for her to win three gold medals and a silver for Team USA, she made a promise to herself: She would never put herself through such a nightmare again. On Sunday evening, roughly five weeks before the start of the Tokyo Paralympics, Meyers, a deaf-blind swimmer with a chance to medal in four events, pulled the plug on her Olympic dream — most likely forever. With a click, she sent an email informing U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee officials of her decision to withdraw from Team USA. Gwen Jorgensen is Leaving Bowerman Track Club After four years at the Nike-sponsored club coached by Jerry Schumacher, Gwen Jorgensen announced today that she's leaving Bowerman Track Club to be coached by Bobby McGee, who she has worked with in the past. In a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Jorgensen explained that a mix of career and family goals led to this decision. “I've had two marathons that just haven't proven I can do it,” she said. “I want to just have a marathon, that's like, OK, I can run this.” She and her husband, Patrick Lemieux, are also looking for a new place to live and are considering having more children. Jorgensen won the Olympic gold at the Rio Games in 2016 in triathlon, and announced a year later she would shift to running, with a focus on medaling in the marathon. Due to extended recovery after heel surgery to repair Haglund's deformity in May 2019, she didn't end up competing in the Olympic marathon trials last year—in early 2020, she decided to focus on the track. “My goals in the marathon aren't changing. My timeline is,” she said at the time. What's New in the 303: REMEMBERING MIKE GREER – A PIONEER, INNOVATOR AND FRIEND An athlete, race director, official, volunteer, author and speaker. A coach and a mentor. An inspiration and an innovator. A pioneer of the sport and a titan of the community. Mike Greer, who dedicated his life to triathlon and the multisport community, passed away at 82 on July 21. His service to the sport spanned nearly four decades and encompassed every facet of the industry. The Funeral service is planned for Monday, July 26 at 1 p.m. CT in Lubbock, Texas at the Sanders Funeral Home. Mike competed in over 400 triathlons across every distance and continued to excel as an age-group athlete into his 80s, created and served as the race director of Buffalo Springs Lake 70.3 at Lubbock, Texas, for the past 30-plus years, held the position of both Interim Executive Director and President of the Board of Directors of USA Triathlon, and created the swim-bike discipline of aquabike, among other accomplishments and contributions. Mike was one of the forerunners of the sport who guided triathlon through its formative years to bring it stability, authenticity and solvency, and laid the foundation for the current success of both the sport and the National Governing Body. “All of us stand on the shoulders of Mike – what he did for our sport and USA Triathlon cannot be overstated,” said Rocky Harris, USA Triathlon CEO. “He taught all of us so much about both triathlon and life, and his legacy will have a lasting impact in every corner of our industry and community.” Ride/Race Mt.

Today Glen and I are joined by Jesse Jarjour of MyVeloFit, the recently publicized “ World’s First AI Powered Online Bike Fit.” I tried the MyVeloFit system to test my own fit…..I learned a ton, and you should do the same. It is an amazing bit of technology. www.myvelofit.com Jesse and his team designed the MyVeloFit system to mirror the process you would experience during a professional bike fit. This starts with assessing your mobility, then analyzing your on-bike position, making adjustments to that position, assessing the changes, and repeating this process until you find a fit that works for you. Jesse Jarjour has been fitting bicycles to people for over a decade. He holds certifications from Retul, Trek Precision Fit, and has a level 2 certification from the International Bike Fitting Institute. Jesse has fit over 3000 individuals of many different athletic backgrounds. Jesse embraces technology in bike fitting. His Studio in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is one of the most technologically advanced fit studios in Canada. He uses the MyVeloFit technology alongside technology from industry leaders such as Gebiomized, Retul, and Dartfish. He uses MyVeloFit to to take a baseline of his clients and give them visual reports of how the measurements work while they are in the studio and as a “pre fit” tool to ensure the clients are in a relatively sound position before coming in.

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. If you are looking for a premium gift for your endurance athlete for the holidays, this is that item. Use code MHE150 to save $150. 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%.

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.

The Tour de France began as a marketing gimmick by Henri Desgrange who was editor of a sports newspaper called L'Auto which was targeted to French auto racing enthusiasts. He started to cover cycling and in 1902 an employee suggested a stage bicycle race around France. The first tour was 2400 kilometers to be covered in six stages. It was less intended as an athletic contest as it was an experiment in human endurance limits. Desgrenge promised the steepest mountains, the darkest nights, the most violent winds, the most difficult routes. In that inaugural year, 60 riders started the Tour and 21 finished. Origin of the name Haute Route, (or the High Route or Mountaineers' Route) is the name given to a route (with several variations) undertaken on foot or by ski touring between Chamonix in France and Zermatt in Switzerland. The Haute Route’s objective is to deliver an unparalleled 'professional' experience for amateur cyclists. This means not only delivering first class hospitality and event management, but all the key ingredients that make up the culture and experience of professional road racing. Hundreds of riders every year from all over the world take part in the Haute Route events, and take on the most mythical passes and roads in all of cycling. The attraction of these legendary cols, such as the Ventoux, Alpe d’Huez, Galibier, Tourmalet, Stelvio and Independence Pass cannot be underestimated, but beyond the sporting challenge is another story, a human story that for many is life changing. What is the Haute Route exactly? The basic facts can be easily stated – the Haute Route cycling events are the world’s most prestigious multi-day cycling events for amateur riders, run over seven or three days, timed and ranked, across the most iconic mountain passes and valleys. We are fortunate to have the Chairman of Haute Route NA, Alain Lambert join us this week. Let's get into the interview right now. Welcome back.

America. The Comeback: Greg LeMond (born June 26, 1961) is an American former professional road racing cyclist who won the Road Race World Championship twice and the Tour de France three times (1986, 1989 and 1990). He is considered by many to be the greatest American cyclist of all time. He is also an entrepreneur and anti-doping advocate. In the book The Comeback, written by Daniel De Vise, there are some incredible things about Greg LeMond, his childhood, his career and the stories of his epic races against riders like Frenchman Laurent Fignon. was born in Lakewood, California,[3] and raised in ranch country on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, near Reno. He was a victim of sexual abuse from a male neighbor and friend of the family. In the middle of his cycling career, he was nearly mortally injured in a hunting accident. Page 155 highlights.

This week we have Olympian, Ironman and Advocate, Sarah True as our guest this week. We got a chance to talk to her in Kona where she rocked up and sealed a 4th place to Daniella Ryf, Lucy Charles and Ann Hauge. We are going to get to inside scoop on how that race went down plus much, much more. Today's show is supported by iKOR Labs. iKOR is a clean, natural source of recovery enhancing CBD hemp extract that protects your body from the stresses of training, improves recovery from intense efforts and helps you maintain a positive mental state.

Pro triathlete proven and endorsed, most durable elastic bungee lace system available and they come in the MHE logo package. The regular price for the custom set is $19.98.

We met Sarah in Kona and enjoyed her energy and spirit. We saw her come out of the swim with the first group of female pros. Later we saw her come into T2 with the first few riders. Later still we saw her run her way up to 3rd place going into the energy lab. We were stoked thinking we were going to have an American on the podium this year. All due respect to Switzerland, UK, and Germany - love you guys - USA is due. On the media stand we got the news that Ann Haug had pulled into 3rd place. Sarah held onto 4th. We had all sorts of questions. Did she go out on the run too fast? How was her nutrition? How was the heat affecting her? About two weeks ago, an article came out from USAT about Sarah "Breaking the Stigma about Mental Health". We read the article, but we had a ton of questions. What is her experience in her own words? How common is depression and anxiety? How do athlete's experience it? What are it's causes? How do women and men deal with it? What are Sarah's recommendations for those dealing with depression? We want to ask all of these things of our guest. Finally, we teased a video mid-week of Sarah at the 2012 London Olympics. Note that she had not yet married Ben True at this point, so she was racing under her maiden name Sarah Groff. If you watched the video, you know she came out of T2 in 7th place and battled her way up to running shoulder to shoulder with the other race leaders. It was an epic and gutsy performance. If you haven't seen it, make sure you either find the post on our social media handles or it will be here in the show notes. What was going on in Sarah's head during the race? How deep was she going to catch the group? Was she speeding up or were they slowing down? Here to answer all of these questions and more is our new show friend, Sarah True! Welcome back.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in any given year, an estimated 16.2 million adults in the U.S. experience a major depressive episode. And an estimated 40 million adults live with anxiety disorders. Sarah True’s tips for dealing with depression as an athlete Seek professional help: People who love you, they want to help, but they don’t have the skills to do so. That is too much pressure on my husband (professional runner Ben True). Talk to a therapist. Back off the training: If you’re physically exhausted from overtraining, your capacity to absorb stressors is limited. Adjust your race and training schedule. But, staying active is important: Because of the hormonal and chemical response to enhance your mood. Find that balance. Communicate with your coach: A good coach will never judge you or use your mental health against you. Reach out for help: I let people close to me know how bad my depression was. This was incredibly hard to verbalize, but once I did, talking about it started to help. Give yourself time: I knew because I’d been through periods in the past, that it was just a matter of time. I knew that it would end. That with some help, I could get through it. Ironman Arizona: Khem and Rich will be recording next week's episode from Tempe AZ….

Thanks to last week's guest, Coach Jim Vance on how he uses Today'sPlan and data to build athlete performance and confidence. Author of Triathlete Science, Triathlon 2.0 and Running with Power. Coach of athletes such as Ben Kanute with great success. If you haven't heard the interview, go back and listen to episode #145. Listener question: Janyne Kizer wrote in: What would be really cool is if the software imported the weather for the time/location of our workout. That way both athlete and coach could see that it was 1000% humidity and that's why the heart rate was so high, etc. In the interview Jim had explained that you can enable the calendar view to display the weather for the day on the calendar where the athlete trains. It actually uses the lat/long of the gps files that are being uploaded. On the calendar it shows the day's high, low and humidity I confirmed with Jayne that she was asking for the temperature and humidity at the time of the workout. We took that question to Benji Marshall of Today'sPlan and he wrote back: We show the temperature at the time of the activity in the bottom left when you open the activity. You can also add the avg, min and max temp in various areas of the platform that you can configure. This is the temperature that is recorded by the head unit at the time of the activity so is prone to being a little off as the head units can record some erroneous data in this regards but generally is quite good. See some screenshots below. As for humidity I have put in a ticket to have this included as a field in the field select areas of the platform so it too can be added to the view by the user. Thanks Jim for the interview. Thank you Jayne for the question. Thanks Benji for the response. Our interview is sponsored by Riplaces.

Jim Vance Debrief: One of the Today'sPlan features that Jim Vance described are the RPE of the workout and Subjective Wellness ratings the athlete can provide on a daily basis. As a coach we can look at all the power files, paces and heart rate levels in a workout and not have insight into how the athlete experienced their workout, their day, and what might be going on that contributed to the power, heart rate and pace. At a glance, looking at the workout in the calendar I can see the RPE. With one click, I can see the Session Rating recorded by the athlete, the duration rating by the athlete and the intensity. This is a great way for a coach to know the athletes perception and perspective of the session objective, duration and intensity as it relates to the athlete's goals. If there's a mis-communication about how the sessions are designed to help the athlete achieve their goals, this is a great way to make that mis-communication visible and get the conversation started if it hasn't happened already. The other insights that can be collected are wellness attributes that can be customized by the coach in terms of what the athlete sees and responds to. The athlete can complete include: Diet Mood Stress Muscle soreness Sleep quality Fatigue (waking) Fatigue (before) Fatigue (activity) Satisfaction Performance The coach can also select to make the wellness ratings on the day in the calendar view. With that feature enabled to be visible, a small yellow star appears and by simply hovering over the star, the coach can see the athlete's perspective on all of those attributes on a daily basis. When I have my weekly Skype call with my athletes, I ask them about subjective wellness items including stress, fatigue, injury or niggles. I ask how the workouts are going from their perspective, do they make sense given the goals, etc. But just like Jim Vance pointed out, athletes tend to forget what they felt like 6 days prior. Having it recorded daily gives the athlete and the coach data, recorded on the day, of the athlete's subjective sense of what they are experiencing. http://303triathlon.com/kona-must-dos-by-khem/ Video of the week: Family affair at Ironman Augusta 70.3 Double win In the News is sponsored by Rudy Project.

Our interview this week is with Coach Matt Fitzgerald is co-author of 80/20 Triathlon with David Warden. This book packages what professional endurance athletes and their coaches have been practicing for years. You've heard this concept in dozens of interviews on this podcast starting as far back as former Olympic Nordic Skier Jim Galanes, Dr. Inigo San Milan, and many more. Welcome to Episode #144 of the Mile High Endurance podcast. Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals. We're your hosts coaches Rich Soares and Khem Suthiwan and 303 Chief Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.

Andrew gave us the rare perspective of top pro cyclist who has a top 10 GC finish in the Tour de France and now competing as a professional triathlete at the 70.3 and 140.6 distance. Andrew has a ton of respect for the pros he competes against and he is slowly earning respect as he has been climbing up the result ladder. He will be competing at Ironman Louisville in a few short weeks and we are eager to see how he performs there and in 2019. We hope to see him at the Ironman World Championship in 2019. If you haven't heard the interview, go back and listen to episode #143. Speaking of previous guests. We want to put out a "heal fast" wish to Benji Marshall from Today's Plan. Benji had a fall on his bike earlier this week and broke his collar bone. His boss, Ben Bowley sent me an email. Ben really appreciate the follow up and hope Benji heals up quick. Our interview is sponsored by Riplaces. Riplaces are the no tie laces with custom tension for the perfect fit. Pro triathlete proven and endorsed, most durable elastic bungee lace system available and they come in the super cool MHE logo package for $19.98 https://www.riplaces.com/collections/mile-high-endurance Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called “moderate-intensity rut,” spending almost half of their time training too hard–harder than the pros. Training harder isn’t smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results. In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance–Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman–to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results. Welcome back. Our post interview discussion is sponsored by Halo Sport.

You need to be a little careful with swim speed zones. If you have drastically different speeds without pull buoy, with pull buoy and with paddles, you may throw off your training pace classifications when you use those devices. Set your Speed Zones TrainingPeaks - go into your Account Settings/Zones/Speed-Pace. Scroll to Swim Speed/Pace and skip the Auto Calculation. Go to Add Zone and keep adding your Zones 1, 2, X, 3, Y, 4, and 5 Today's Plan - go to your Account Settings/Thresholds/Zones. Garmin Connect is stumping me Targeting 80/20 with Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, Today's Plan Garmin Connect provides lap by lap pace, but no report that breaks down the percent by pace, power or heart rate zones TrainingPeaks has an activity chart titled "Time In Zone - Speeds" for swimming and it'll pick up your custom zones. My last swim workout was 48% in zones 1-2 (goal for warmup, 6 x 200) 7% in zone x 13% in zone 3 (pull buoy) 14% in zone y (pull buoy with paddles) 12% in zone 4 7% in zone 5 (12 x 25 yrds) Bringing Crazy Back to Triathlon - Khem's Post Are there that many races that are providing unique and creative experiences?

We remarked on this incredible story in recent weeks and figured the timing is perfect to share it with you this week. This Sunday is Ironman Wisconsin - Beth James and her daughter Liza will be racing as a team. Beth James and her daughter Liza are on a journey together to compete at Ironman Wisconsin September 9th. Liza suffered from a traumatic brain injury in a car accident fourteen years ago. Taking inspiration from Rick and Dick Hoyt, Beth and Liza found joy through riding and running outdoors. This is an inspiring interview and story of adversity, love and discovery. Talansky competed in cross-country running at high school in Florida before taking up competitive cycling at age 17. After success in local amateur races, he moved to Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina, winning the collegiate national championship race in his freshman year. He left college after one year to join the Amore & Vita team in Italy in 2009, but found the conditions unsatisfactory and returned to the US that spring.[4] He raced in the US in 2009 without team support. After a strong ride at the Tour of the Gila race, he joined Garmin for the 2010 season, moving up to the professional team for 2011, where he made the top ten at the 2011 Tour de Romandie. In 2012, Talansky scored his first professional victory in Europe at the Tour de l'Ain, and was named Garmin's lead rider for the 2012 Vuelta a España,[5] finishing seventh on the general classification. In 2013, he came second in Paris-Nice, having led the race for two days, and was selected for the Tour de France for the first time, again making the top ten overall. He won the 2014 Critérium du Dauphiné, joining a high quality breakaway group on the final stage to overcome a 39-second deficit to overnight race leader Alberto Contador. He retired from the 2014 Tour de France after a very uncomfortable day on his bike, due to multiple crashes. The broom wagon was following him at the end of the stage. In September 2017 Talansky announced his retirement from competition via an Instagram post. However, the following month he indicated that he was now "un-retired" and would take up competing in triathlon Teasers for topics: 303Merge - Bill Donkey Run Practice - Khem TO and losing the pink helmet AG World Champs in Gold Coast; Stacia and Kevie - https://goldcoast.triathlon.org/2018_itu_world_triathlon_grand_final/ Use of anti-biotics and training or racing - https://runnersconnect.net/antibiotics-and-running-performance/ Ironman Title Sponsor Amazon - http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/world-championship.aspx#/axzz5QwfJtuZ5 Video of the week: Tim and Rinny Show I lost the Pink helmet bet Make a donation at their Ironman Foundation site of $20 and be entered in a draw Talks about how the ride up to Hawi last year surprised him with 330 watts and he's preparing for that effort in his training Keep watching and there's a video of Tim getting out of his high altitude tent Upcoming Interviews: Coach Matt Fitzgerald - author of The Endurance Diet, 80/20 Running and now 80/20 Triathlon with David Warden Jim Vance - will join us soon to take the discussion of Today's Plan to the practical application as a coach or athlete and talk in greater detail about how it can make you more effective and efficient as a coach Todd Carver, Cliff Simms and Franko Vaterott- co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.

If you geek out on well-designed software like I do, then you'll really like taking Today's Plan for a spin.

I'm running with TrainingPeaks and Today's Plan in parallel as I'm not quite ready to let go of the branch that I've been swinging on for over a decade. They both have great features. You have to figure out what works best for you and your needs. Today's Plan is definitely designed with the coaches needs in mind.

We have a good old fashion coaching tips interview this week with Sansego coach Matt Smith. Matt was on the deck at the Boulder camp during our pool sets this spring. He gave tips from his observations on deck and also did some video analysis observations and recommendations. I picked up a few tips from Matt that I incorporated into my training and believe those changes were part of what led to a 1.2 mile PR at Boulder 70.3 a few weeks ago. We wanted to get him on the show and share his expertise with you and see if we can get you to your new swim PR.

Thanks to last week's guest, Richard Rozok - a repeat top 10 Norseman Xtreme Triathlon finisher. If you didn't hear what makes Norseman so Xtreme and Richard's extreme Czechoslovakian accent, go back and check out Episode #139. Side note that I have some corrections to some information I've shared about iKOR to share in the post interview discussion. Coach Matt Smith lives in Boulder with his wife Molly, who by the way are very nearly new parents. Early congrats to them both. As you'll hear, he and the Sansego team believe in helping athletes find their full potential. Coaching Philosophy: Mission: To partner with goal oriented athletes to help them accomplish their goals by setting a realistic training plan that integrates with their life vs. dominating it. Philosophical Statements: Coaching is a co-active relationship between coach and the athlete, we know more together. Matt will work with the athlete to develop a race schedule and training plan that fits with their lifestyle and progresses with their ability level. Matt sees his role is to show an athlete they can do more than they think they can. I will provide support and motivation to get them to stretch their limits, yet set realistic goals and benchmarks in the process. Matt will strive to keep an athlete injury free. Plans are built with proper rest and recovery included. I listen to how athletes are feeling physically and mentally and adapt accordingly. Direct communication is key. Matt will always respond to athletes in an honest, consistent, timely manner. Multisport is a lifestyle. Matt models a healthy lifestyle and encourage athletes to think about training as a life long endeavor vs. a short term goal. The sport should be hard work, but fun at the same time. Matt and Sansego Partnership with Max Testa Training in Park City Utah next spring; Colorado Classic Quick recap of route and profile The 303 Project, the team and Director Nicholas Graeff; driver Albert and mechanic Carson Anatomy of the caravan 303Cycling Facebook Live (Austin Stephens, Ken Gart, Lookout, Red Rocks) Race and Team Communications - there are two radios in the car. One is Race Radio, which is the Race Director communication to the Team Directors. Race Radio is the first car behind the peloton and they communicate rider calls for water bottles, mechanicals and crashes. The other radio is the Team Radio set to a different frequency. All the riders and both cars have radios set to that frequency. This is for the Team Director primarily to communicate to the riders. If there's a split in the group, both cars talk to the riders in the group that they are covering. The riders can also call to the cars. Here's a quick 30 second sound bite. The first thing you'll here is Race Radio talking about the upcoming Feed Zone. The next you'll hear is some words of encouragement from Nicholas Graeff to a rider, and in another case to go to the medical car for assistance. You'll also hear our car, Car 2 calling to Car 1. Khem and Bill's coverage of Stage 2 Rich on Stage 3 Leadville 100 Bill and the Todd Lytle team Quick update on iKOR Recommended dose is 5 pumps twice per day Generally CBD must have less than 3/10 of one percent THC; iKOR's standard is better and there's no detectable level Ordered a bottle for my mom for her birthday and she's just starting to take it this weekend.

This episode continues our coverage of some of the most epic races on the planet. This week we have repeat top 10 Norseman Xtreme Triathlon finisher Richard Rozok. Many of you will know what makes Norseman an "extreme" triathlon. For those who don't or have never heard of Norseman, you are about to hear a story of an incredibly challenging iron distance race. Norseman is a one of seven Xtri World Tour Xtreme triathlons. At the Sansego Camp this past May, Crowie asked all of the athletes to introduce themselves, their racing experience and race goals for the year. Most of us were referring to 70.3 this and IM that - no big surprises. There was one guy, with a great accent, who casually mentioned that he was planning to race Norseman. There were a handful of us in the room that had audible reactions, including Crowie, Matt Smith and Franko Vatterott. Today's interview is iKOR Labs. iKOR is a clean, natural source of recovery enhancing CBD that protects your body from the stresses of training, improves recovery from intense efforts and helps you maintain a positive mental state. The most bio-available CBD product on the market, iKOR is a highly protective anti-oxidant, an effective anti-inflammatory and a powerful mood booster. WADA and USADA legal.

Thanks to last week's guest, Don Reichelt who put his stamp in Badwater 135 history, finishing 3rd overall. We had a great chat about his training, strategy and how the race unfolded. Badwater 135 sounds brutal with temperatures as high as 127 degrees. If you missed it, go back and check out Episode #138. Norseman - The start is 150km from Bergen and 322km from Oslo Airport in the Eidfjord. While the finish is 367km from Bergen and 230km from Oslo at the top of Mt. Gaustatoppen at 1850m. Total elevation gain during the 140.6 miles is 5235m (17175 ft). Richard Rozok is a working age-grouper in Norway who competes at the elite level. Having trained with him at the Sansego Boulder camp this past May, I can attest first hand to Richard's strength and speed at all disciplines. I'm pleased to present…Richard Rozok.

Badwater 135 Ultra-marathon is billed as the "toughest foot race on the planet". With air temperatures reaching a high of 127 degrees and pavement temperatures in the 150s, it's no wonder that only 68 of the 99 racers this year finished. What was not well known until this year's race was Don Reichelt's name. You, however, heard him back in March on the show talk about his selection for Badwater and his plans for training for this ultra tough event. Guess what, this badass got a podium of 3rd place, surprising previous record holders, podium placers, organizers and teams. Were we surprised - hell no! Today's interview is sponsored by Riplaces - the no tie laces with custom tension for the perfect fit. Pro triathlete proven and endorsed, most durable elastic bungee lace system available and they come in the super cool MHE logo package for $19.98 https://www.riplaces.com/collections/mile-high-endurance Thanks to last week's guest, professional mountain bike expert Ryan Petry for sharing his Haute Route recap and Leadville MTB preparation.

Don has spent more than 7 years of my life planning and executing events, coaching endurance athletes, and running ultra distances at an elite level. He started in the event industry with as a field marketer and events manager for a major shoe company, before moving on as a one man show directing 11 different races including road running, trail running, biking, and triathlons. He also contracts out event services with numerous events from 5K to ultra distances. He has coached multiple athletes to finishes at races from 5K to 100 miles and everything in-between. I specialize in working with athletes who want to get into ultrarunning, or who want to take their ultra running to the next level. Don is a multiple time Ironman finisher and have competed in countless ultramarathons including 5 races of 100 miles or more with a 100 mile PR of 16:27. We can now add a 3rd place at Badwater 135 in a time of 27 hours and 8 minutes and 30 seconds. Let's get into the interview.

Listen up mountain bikers! Our interview this week is with the professional mountain biker, Ryan Petry. Ryan recently placed a close second at Haute Route Rockies and is racing next weekend at the Leadville 100 MTB race. Thanks to last week's guest, Mark Fleming of iKOR Labs who helped us sort through all of the information about hemp extract, CBD and the benefits that endurance athletes are experiencing. This turned out to be a pretty engaging topic and prompted a couple of good posts, which we'll read out here in a bit. Ryan Petry as you will hear is an axe on the MTB. In 2016, he finished 7th overall at the Leadville 100 MTB with a time of 06:48:54. We are going to talk about his Haute Route Rockies result and much more. Let's get into the interview. Discussion topics: Ryan Petry, Haute Route and Leadville 100 MTB Khem's Donkey DNF and Ranger CBD Discussion Barry Siff - Been using iKOR for about four months now and getting incredible results. CBD (a hemp extract) is not banned by WADA or USADA, and reduces inflammation (noticeably!), thus helping recovery, plus other benefits. Excellent listen here with the Founder, Mark Fleming. Thanks Rich ... and, congrats on the metabolic results with Bob Seebohar! Mitchell Kusick - Thank you for conducting such an informative interview elucidating the benefits (and legality) of CBD in endurance sports! This was one of my favorite episodes as of late as I feel that there are a lot of people interested in this topic... That being said, given that there is a dearth of in-vivo studies supporting the strong anecdotal evidence, would you allow your daughter, as a younger athlete (like myself), to take CBD oil daily as an ergogenic aid? 303 Updates from Bill IM Boulder 70.3 Coverage Upcoming interviews: Don Reichelt and Badwater 135 3rd place. Andrew Talansky and IM Whistler result - fastest bike split, 7th overall Matt Smith on swim workouts designed for specific training goals, swim form, common issues, etc. Cliff Simms - co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.

Our interview this week is with the Co-founder of iKOR Labs, Mark Fleming. We are going to get your questions answered about CBD. Why are endurance athletes using it? How are they using it? Is it legal? What benefits does it provide? Who's using it? How to take it? Thanks to last week's guests, professional triathlete Timothy O'Donnell. I'm very excited to bring you Mark Fleming and iKOR. When I first discovered iKOR, it was 2017 under the pre 2018 WADA and USADA rules and I honestly decided to not pursue this as a topic for the podcast. I researched the WADA and USADA sites. I researched the USAT position and at that time there was not a clear distinction between THC and CBD. In January of 2018, CBD was removed from the WADA and USADA banned substance list. I got reconnected with Mark Fleming and Craig Sweeney at the Sansego camp here in Boulder. As we talked more and I tried it for myself, I have noticed an incredible difference in my recovery and reduced inflammation most of all. We'll talk more about the resources that we'll make available in the show notes, plus a letter from USADA to a recent athlete who uses iKOR, was on the podium, was tested and the letter from USADA addresses his disclosure of CBD usage and the results of his test declaring him clean from banned substances. Let's get into the interview and talk more after. More resources on CBD, USADA and WADA information, letter from USADA and more https://www.usada.org/substances/prohibited-list/athlete-guide-2018-prohibited-list/ https://www.usada.org/2018-prohibited-list-summary-of-major-changes/ https://www.usada.org/wp-content/uploads/General-Information-on-IV-Infusions.pdf - just ask Brian Lockte, suspended for 14 months Letter from USADA YouTube Channel has new content and videos The Fave Product segment this week is going to be a YouTube video on the Mile High Endurance Channel eNRG Metabolic test is a video on the MHE Channel Ironman TV on FB Live and IM Lake Placid and the Heather Jackson show Breaking down the training and nutrition for Boulder 70.3 2800 Open water swim at Grant Ranch at race pace plus 70+ miles on Saturday; Sweat rate of 36.9 oz/hr; consumption of 29.1 oz/hr; IF of .74; temp of 92 (note 83 degrees and IF of .91, sweat rate is 42.4 Kept up at 40 oz/hr for the first 2.5 hours, but then dropped to 20 oz/hr for the final 2 I started dehydrated at a SG of 1.020 and regressed to 1.030; the specific density of water would be 1.000. Ideally, urine specific gravity results will fall between 1.002 and 1.030 if your kidneys are functioning normally. Specific gravity results above 1.010 can indicate mild dehydration. The higher the number, the more dehydrated you may be. Bob Seebohar and eNRG Metabolic test; before and after data comparison; information on carbohydrate calorie in common products Key dates: test 1 June 6; test 2 July 26 (7 weeks) Metabolic exchange rate - the rate (running pace in this case) at which the runner starts burning more carbohydrate than fat Test 1 - 9:23 pace & HR of 151 Test 2 - 8:27 pace & HR of 158 Percent Carb/Fat Test 1 - 10:20 48/52; 9:50 49/51; 9:23 50/50 Test 2 - 10:20 37/63; 9:50 40/60; 9:23 41/59 Carb Calories per Hour Test 1 - 9:23 pace = 480; 8:34 pace = 591 Test 2 - 9:23 pace = 352; 8:34 pace = 455 Note that this was done over a 7 week period. If you are thinking that this is only something you can address in the off season, think again! If you have an A race in September or October, there's still time to learn more about your metabolic rates and do something about them. Anyone going to Kona and want to give themselves the ability to go faster on fewer carbs? Give Bob Seebohar a call. Seriously, go to eNRGperformance.com to learn more. I'll have the report on the site.

Our interview this week is with Tim O'Donnell. We have a lot of questions for T.O. about how the prep for Kona is going this year, what it's like balancing the roles of a professional triathlete, husband and relatively new father, we'll talk about the Tim and Rinny You Tube Channel is going, and how his and Rinny's races have gone this year. Thanks to last week's guests, Simone Cordrey-Cotter to talk about Rudy Project's "Podium One" and Alison Freeman of D3 Multisport who talked about how to train for and race in hot conditions. If you missed it, go back and listen to episode #134. Hopefully you are fast enough to win a Boost 01 helmet, but if you're not get a Boost 01 like me and you'll be faster. Being fast on the bike might not be enough in hot conditions. We had lots of great tips on how to be ready for your next hot race. Announcement: Last Friday was Bill's birthday and we did not give him a birthday shout out. Bill, this is your belated birthday shout out! Not that you care because you are having a blast in Canada Salmon fishing! Last week we gave a shout out to Kim Miller. There is no "Kim" Miller. There is however an "Amy" Miller. I have no good explanation for how that happened. It was in the show notes incorrectly despite having previously connected with Amy on Facebook and Instagram. She sent me a very nice message last Monday bringing the error to my attention and immediately I had a flashback to the thought occurring to me on Saturday night. It's funny how the subconscious knew there was something wrong when it hadn't occurred to me consciously. Interview: Timothy O’Donnell is one of the world’s most successful and experienced American long-course triathletes. As a professional, he has earned 50+ podium finishes including over 22 wins at major events throughout the world. Among the wins are nine Ironman 70.3 victories, three 140.6 wins, and six Armed Forces National Championships. At the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, Timothy finished 6th in 2016, 3rd in 2015, and 5th in 2013, finishing as top American in 2013 & 2015. In 2013, he tied the existing American IRONMAN record with an 8:01:32 victory at IRONMAN Brazil. In 2015 at IRONMAN Brazil, he completed his fastest IRONMAN to date at 7:55:56. He was the IRONMAN 70.3 US Pro Champion in 2012 and the IRONMAN US Pro Champion in 2011. O’Donnell’s sporting career began when he joined his first swim team at the age of five in Roseville, CA. He began to shine in the pool during his high school years while attending Wyoming Seminary Prep (SEM) in Kingston, Pennsylvania. At SEM O’Donnell was captain of the varsity swim team, set multiple school records and earned repeated district championships and all-state honors. O’Donnell then attended the United States Naval Academy (BS Naval Architecture, 2003) where he swam on the Varsity team for two seasons before fully committing to the sport of triathlon. As a triathlete, O’Donnell led the Naval Academy Men’s Team to two US National Triathlon Championship titles.

A lot of triathletes (pro and age groupers) are using cbd to help with inflammation and recovery. WADA and USADA removed CBD from the banned substances list. If you are using a CBD product from a reliable source like iKOR labs, you don't have to worry about being testing positive for a banned or illegal substance. Hemp (which CBD is extracted from) has less than .3% 3/10s of 1 percent THC. Ryan Petry - 2nd overall at Haute Route Rockies. We'll be talking to him about he trained for the race and his race strategy. Cliff Simms - co-founder of Retul and now working with Specialized.

Today Pete and I have Michael Brown from Specialized Australia on the Fat Black Podcast talking all about Specialized's Body Geometry system and how since acquiring Retul they have successfully combined the two systems to quantify a better fitting solution for you. In today’s episode, we discuss: Michael’s background with Specialized. Recapping the Body Geometry methodology. How bike fitting is evolving. The advantages of BG Fit and RETUL coming together. The value in computer analysis and biomechanical assessments. The true role of a (great) bike fitter. Understanding marketing VS true R&D process when choosing saddles. Equipment bias. The most important aspect of female specific fitting. How bike shoes can affect performance (and comfort).

Victor Plata, a 2004 triathlon Olympian for the United States, is the guest in the first half of this episode. Victor retired in 2011 and we look back at his career, catch up with his post-triathlon life, and he provides wisdom for all triathletes. Todd Carver of Retul and Scott Holtz of Specialized are the guests for the second half of the show. Todd, also the guest on episode 10, is an expert bike fitter and founder of the bike fitting company Retul. Scott is a former bike fitter and works for Specialized as the head of the Specialized Bicycle Component University and Dealer Education. Specialized has been operating their own wind tunnel for a year, and we discuss some of the bike fit lessons that Scott and Todd have learned both in the tunnel and from many years of expertise in the field.
Subscribe via iTunes Mat Steinmetz In 2012 Inside Triathlon named him as one of triathlon's most influential people. Boulder based coach Mat Steinmetz has worked with several top athletes as a coach, consultant, and/or bike fitter. Those athletes include Ironman Hawaii winner Craig Alexander and Liz Blatchford. This year he performed the bike fits for the top 3 women at Ironman Hawaii. Mat got his masters degree in exercise physiology from Ball State, and in 2009 he began working for bike fit company Retul in Boulder. He no longer works for Retul but he continues to perform bike fits and coach athletes. In this interview we talk about his work with Craig Alexander, Liz Blatchford, Ironman strategy, crank length, cadence, and more.

Subscribe via iTunes In this episode Todd Carver of Retul discusses common bike fit issues and trends in bike fits and equipment. I also discuss cramping and VO2 Max cycling intervals VO2 Max Bike Intervals A good workout for 8-10 weeks before your goal race done 2-3 times. Long warmup, then 6-10X1 mile fast, 3-4 minute recovery. Do this on flat ground on a course you can repeat - the recovery is a ride back to the start, so you’ll be doing the same course every time. If your time drops by more than 6% (11 seconds at 3:00 pace, and 7 seconds at 2:00 pace), quit the workout. It takes some pacing practice, but the main goal is to just go hard. Stick with the lower range of intervals unless you are experienced with a large base. This is a stressful workout and a good recovery (nutrition and sleep) is imperative. Cramping The cause of cramping is difficult to pinpoint and often misunderstood in general literature. Long and intense efforts are a common cause. I quote this New York Times article in the podcast: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/14/health/nutrition/14BEST.html?_r=0 I had a segment about pickle juice alleviating cramps, but removed the segment when some articles questioned the vailidy of the research. http://trailandultrarunning.com/does-pickle-juice-prevent-or-alleviate-muscle-cramps/ Joe Friel has two good articles on cramping: http://www.joefrielsblog.com/2010/05/muscle-cramp-theory.html http://www.joefrielsblog.com/2010/05/muscle-cramps-and-mythology.html Todd Carver & Retul Todd Carver is the co-founder of Retul, retul.com, and he is one of the world’s leading experts in bike fitting. Retul offers bike fits using their 3D motion capture software at their headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. They also manufacture and sell bike fitting hardware and software, plus offer educational services, to nearly 500 bike fit shops across the world. Retul has done bike fits for top teams including Garmin & Team Sky, while several other pro teams are fit via Retul equipment. When To Get a Bike Fit The biggest reason to get fit would be a problem such as knee pain or other pain/injury, but many athletes come in to make sure they are optimized for the best bike fit. Most Common Bike Fit Changes Raising the saddle and lowering the bars. Crank Length A shorter crank length among triathletes is a trend that started sometime around 2010. While stating that there is no solid evidence a shorter crank will be a significant benefit, Todd recommends triathletes, especially long course triathletes, use a crank length of 165mm-170mm. There is conclusive evidence that shortening the crank length doesn’t negatively affect power, but a shorter crank can positively impact aerodynamics and comfort. It can reduce drag because a shorter crank allows a more open hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke. This allows a lower back position compared to a larger crank, which reduces wind resistance. Anecdotal evidence from cyclists suggest that a closed hip angle (as compared to a standard road position without aerobars) results in lower output. Shorter cranks help alleviate this feeling. Top cycling time trialists are sticking with longer cranks. Bike Saddles Aftermarket saddles designed for triathlon are better than most OEM saddles. For aggressive positions use an anatomical saddle that lets you roll forward such as a Bontrager Hilo or ISM Adamo. For less aggressive positions in which you are weighting the back of the saddle it’s important to get good sitbone support. The Specialized Body Geometry saddle meets this need. Some cyclists break down one side of the saddle over the other which could lead to injury. Replace a broken down saddle. Make sure your saddle is straight (obvious, but not everyone has their saddle pointed straight forward). Bike Cleats High volume cyclist they should change them once per month. Most serious triathletes should change cleats 2-3 times per year.
