Podcasts about Taylor Knibb

This week on Talking Triathlon we go deep on one of the most unforgettable races in recent memory, the Women's Ironman World Championship in Kona. With Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb both blowing up in the brutal heat, Solveig Løvseth storming to victory, and Kat Matthews mounting an incredible late charge, this race had everything. We unpack all the drama, tactics, and turning points, and ask the question everyone's thinking: was this the greatest Ironman World Championship ever?

Support us on DiscourseAs Gareth mentioned, Discourse is our "sponsorship", our sole source of income. But it's way more than that - it's a community of experts and enthusiasts who share knowledge on everything sports science related. To become part of that, become a Patron of the site and join the conversationShow notesThis week on Spotlight, we dive DEEP into the world of physiology, pacing, fatigue and the brain. Using some enthralling races from Kona and Chicago at the weekend, and your Discourse questions and comments, we explore how pacing 'errors' happens, and the physiological consequences of those mistakes. We kick off of with our Discourse Digest segment (00:00) and news that Femke Bol will take a swing at the 800m next year. An exciting development, but what will it involve in terms of training and tactics, and what can we expect from the Dutch star?We then move on to the Chicago Marathon (15:56), won by Jacob Kiplimo, emerging as a real star of the Marathon. His success contained a very specific type of "failure" though, as he was on course to break the World Record right up to 35km, and then...physiology hit. Ross explains how fragile pacing is for elite marathoners, and why physiology collected on its 'loan' for Kiplimo. Another physiological "failure" happened in the Kona Ironman (29:26) where Lucy Charles-Barclay and Taylor Knibb raced so aggressively that they first rode and then ran each other to the point of proverbial physiological destruction. We explore how pacing in the context of a warm day caused those dramatic scenes.In Centre Stage (44:57), it's all about the carbs. Tim Noakes has a paper arguing that you need only 10g/h of glucose during exercise. He uses his "Central Governor" model to explain how the brain is monitoring and regulating blood glucose level to protect the brain, such that the 90g per hour or more being consumed by elites is wasteful and unnecessary, part of an 'old model'. We don't see it the same way, and Ross explains concepts of regulation of performance by the brain, a subject he did his PhD thesis on. We discuss heat, altitude, and fuel, to unpack how the truth behind fatigue, performance and pacing regulation, unlocking more insight on those pacing implosions in Chicago and Kona.In Ross Replies (1:06:59), listener Ian asks a great question about using data from a specific test where you lie down then stand up, and use HR to tell you how recovered you are. Ross explains why that test exists, its limitations, and offers tips for how to make more of data, while avoiding some traps.And Finally (1:21:31), we see again that cycling is allergic to the truth, Gareth learns the truth about NZ Rugby Representation, and we tip our hats to Natalie Grabow.LinksA race report from that dramatic Kona women's raceThe full Taylor Knibb statementThe Noakes TweetRoss' PhD thesis on Anticipatory RegulationArticle on orthostatic testing for HR and HRVThe Six who Sat podcast that Gareth mentioned on the show Hosted on Acast.

This week on Talking Triathlon we keep things focused with two big topics. First, we break down the Supertri Toulouse Grand Final, where Jeanne Lehair continued her incredible season with another dominant win and Csongor Lehmann came out on top in a thrilling men's race. Then we turn our attention to the Ironman World Championship in Kona, previewing the women's race and all the major contenders. We go through favourites like Lucy Charles-Barclay, Kat Matthews, Laura Philipp and Taylor Knibb, sharing our predictions, how we think the race will unfold, and what each of the big names needs to do to take the title.   To support the podcast please head to: patreon.com/talkingtriathlon To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://bit.ly/3vzSss2  Or check us out on Social Media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingtriathlon You can follow James at https://www.instagram.com/bale.james85 You can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14

On Day 4 of the Kona Daily Pods, we sit down with two of the sport's greatest champions — Daniela Ryf and Mirinda Carfrae — joined by host Jenny Fletcher to talk through the mental side of winning in Kona, how Lucy Charles finally broke through, and who they believe will rise as the next Ironman World Champion.The conversation dives deep into:

In this episode of the IRONMAN Insider, host Matt Lieto is joined by two top contenders for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona: Taylor Knibb and Lisa Perterer.First, Taylor Knibb offers a candid look into her race week mindset, emphasizing her need for quiet and solitude to conserve her high energy for race day. She reveals her love for reading as a key distraction, sharing that her current non-fiction pick is Mastery. Taylor reflects on the “naivety” that helped her in her first Kona race and discusses how a humbling experience at IRONMAN Texas has given her a “healthy dose of fear and respect” for the distance. While she remains focused on her own process, she shares a key tactical insight learned from Daniela Ryf's 2018 course record: the race can be won on the challenging return from Hawi.Next, first-time Kona competitor Lisa Perterer shares her excitement about finally experiencing the legendary race atmosphere. The Austrian powerhouse, who thrives in hot and humid conditions, is hoping for a challenging day. Lisa reflects on a tough past year and how she has rediscovered the joy in racing, an attitude that was on full display when she received a penalty at IRONMAN Lake Placid but continued to smile and wave to the crowd. While she still has goals of a top-five or even a podium finish, her primary focus is on having a “solid day” to defend her third-place position in the IRONMAN Pro Series standings.

Day 1 of the daily podcasts leading into the Ironman World Championships is here and we are lucky enough to be joined by Taylor Knibb to discuss the race. The boys give us their top 5 people with most to lose at Kona this year list, they discuss who the big names are that can actually win the race as well as having some strong debate on why some women can't win the race that might surprise you.

This week we dive into a packed show, starting with a look at the Kona “wild cards,” the women outside the obvious favourites who could still make a big impact on race day. We then turn to Jan Frodeno, who swapped triathlon for trail and did something special at the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB, winning his age group over the 55 km course in his debut appearance. In race results we cover Ironman Chattanooga, the XTERRA World Championships, and Ironman Wales before recapping WTCS Weihai where Max Studer and Beth Potter took the wins. Finally, we look ahead to Supertri Toulouse and ask the big questions: can anyone stop Jeanne Lehair, and is Vasco Vilaça on track to win the entire series?

Jan Frodeno was meant to race UTMB but had not qualified, and the wildcard entry he received has seen him cop a wave of online criticism. We talk through why the reaction came so hard and what it says about the way the trail scene handles elite entries. From there we look at one of the wildest endurance feats of the year, South African runner Sibusiso Kubheka covering 100km in 5:59:20 at the Adidas “Chasing 100” event. It will not go down as an official world record, but breaking the six hour barrier is a landmark moment for ultra running and we discuss why it matters. Supertri Chicago brought more drama, with Jeanne Lehair and Alberto Gonzalez Garcia taking the wins, Tyler Mislawchuk running brilliantly, and Georgia Taylor Brown showing strong form in the women's race. WTCS Fréjus sets up a massive showdown as Alex Yee and Hayden Wilde line up against each other again, while at T100 French Riviera Hayden backs up to race alongside Morgan Pearson, Jelle Geens and Jess Learmonth.

From Scott Derue   Dear Triathlon `Ohana,         Over the past year, the question I have been asked the most has been about the future of the IRONMAN World Championship.  For the first time in its history, the IRONMAN World Championship moved to split locations in 2023 for two reasons.  Significant numbers of deferrals from cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic required two days of racing, and a 2-day, single-location format was tried in 2022 and found to be unsustainable for the local community in Kona, Hawai`i.  With a deep commitment to and care for the Kona community, combined with the rich triathlon history and iconic sporting legacy of Nice, France, the decision was made to hold the men and women's races in different locations.   In addition, aligned with IRONMAN's goal of growing the sport of triathlon, it was expected that split locations for men and women's racing would lead to greater exposure for all and more women participating in the sport of triathlon.  Since first announcing that format change, we have been meticulous in monitoring and reviewing athlete behavior, collecting feedback, and conducting extensive research.  Putting the needs and preferences of our athletes first – and thinking about the long-term growth of triathlon – we are excited to announce that, beginning in 2026, the IRONMAN World Championship will return to its roots of Hawai'i, with Kona hosting a reimagined single day of racing, bringing women and men together for the IRONMAN World Championship.  Upcoming Programming - Our March focus will be on running.   May 10 - Athlete Highlight with Paul Hunziker May 13 - Webinar Boulder 70.3 Race Recon May 17 - Podcast Boulder 70.3 Race Recon May 24 - Swim Camp Highlights and interviews May 31 - Bike Camp Highlights and interviews   G2G Spring Training Camp May 17-18 - Swim Focus in C.Springs and Chatfield May 24-25 - Bike Focus - Chatfield/Chatfield May 31-June 1 Run Focus - Boulder/Boulder We are 70% of capacity   https://grit2greatnessendurance.com/training-camp   So whether you're processing the big Kona news or locking in your training calendar for our spring camp season, one thing's for sure—there's no shortage of exciting movement in our sport. Speaking of support for that movement, it's time to fuel your curiosity and your performance. Let's roll into today's Ask a Coach segment, brought to you by a sponsor who knows a thing or two about steady energy and smart fueling…   Ask A Coach Sponsor: G2G Endurance You're putting in the work—now let's make it count.

Big changes are shaking up the world of triathlon and cycling! Georgia Taylor-Brown is making a major move to cycling—what does this mean for her career and the sport? Meanwhile, watching these events just got a lot more expensive, with Eurosport shutting down in the UK and Ireland and its coverage moving to another channel at a significantly higher price.

And in the world of T100 racing, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Jelle Geens are the last two contracted athletes to be confirmed. But with Taylor Knibb dominating, we have to ask—do the female contracts even matter if no one can beat her?   To support the podcast please head to: patreon.com/talkingtriathlon To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://bit.ly/3vzSss2  Or check us out on Social Media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingtriathlon You can follow James at https://www.instagram.com/bale.james85 You can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14
