Podcasts about thanyapura

James and I were very fortunate enough to spend 5 days at the world class sports and health resort Thanyapura in Phuket a few weeks ago.  We planned our diaries so we could work a ‘peak' week into our training calendar to make the most of the facilities and use the resort to its full potential.  In this episode we give you a low down of what its like to be surrounded by elite athletes & lots of Olympic ring tattoos, what our training week looked like and what sessions we ran and the classes we did and how we found the overall experience of our first camp. Hopefully this won't be our last camp either!  We hope you enjoy this episiode and the podcast in general.  Social Media LinksFollow us on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheRunningHubCommunity/ Follow us on instagram - @therunninghubcommunity @run_with_coachkatie @jamesdown1986 Join The Running Hub Community - www.therunninghub.co.uk/the-running-hub Follow us on YouTube - The Running Hub Community    121 Online Coaching Enquiries or Collaborationskatie@therunninghub.co.uk james@therunninghub.co.uk

Vart går gränsen mellan ansträngning och smärta? Hur ont får egentligen ”ont” göra? Är ansträngning värt smärta och framför allt, är det egentligen nyttigt för oss?  Och hur tänker man runt smärtan? Handlar det bara om Rocky Balboa-mentalitet eller finns det andra tricks? Avsnittet är inspelat på Apollo Sports anläggning Thanyapura i Thailand, helt i anslutning till den intensiva träningsvecka som avslutades med en intensiv och syresmäktande aquathlon som fick deltagarna att kippa efter andan. Dessutom berättar Jonas om de pikanta detaljerna bakom den tredje pungkulan och hur det känns att cykla 18 mil i badbyxor. Allt detta och mycket mer i 37;e avsnittet av podden Coltings Nakna Sanning! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I avsnitt 36 av Coltings Nakna Sanning pratar vi om varför triathlon är den perfekta barn- och ungdomsidrotten! Vi pratar om varför barn och ungdomar ska träna mycket och ofta. Vi pratar om varför det är viktigt för barn att tävla och mäta sig och hur dumt det är att försöka eliminera alla moment av motgångar och svårigheter. Samtidigt tar vi en kraftfull ställning mot tidig elitsatsning och utslagning. Men att träna mycket och ofta är INTE nödvändigtvis att elitsatsa! Podden är inspelad på Thanyapura i Thailand och doftar den här veckan av kokos, solvarm hud och havsvatten. Don´t miss out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Macca & Azza go over all the latest in the triathlon world and do an interview with x-pro surfer Clint Kimmins who tells his amazing story of how he went from making hundreds of thousands of dollars to travel the world and surf/party to being a top age group athalete and now coach at Thanyapura in Phuket aiming to get his pro card.    Also how to blend the right type of training sessions to build your own triathlon training plan by Chris "Macca" McCormack. 

I sat down with Tim Ford for a chat around all things triathlon, weight loss, healthy lifestyle, goals and the future. Tim's journey has many similarities with myself and I am totally inspired by what he is achieving in the sport. The quote on his webpage sums Tim up best I think, My Extraordinary, Ordinary Life. He just gets about chasing his goals and along the way inspires others to get up and have a go at a goal they have in mind. He now coaches athletes towards their goals along with studying law full time and travelling up to Thailand to his second home of Thanyapura as often as he can. www.thanyapura.com. You can contact and follow Tim on Instagram @tford14 and please follow his blog at his website www.oztriathlete.com. There's some awesome articles up there particularly for those at the beginning of their triathlon, running or multisport journey. Remember Temple Nutrition?

Är det farligt att skära ned på kolhydraterna? Är ”energibrist” ett stort problem bland svenska idrottare? Och är då lösningen på nämnda energibrist att äta mer kolhydrater i en fettskrämd idrottsvärld? Podden har pratat om det här ämnet många gånger tidigare men temat är ännu en gång aktuellt efter ett helt absurt inslag i Vinterstudion föregående helg. Coltings Nakna Sanning tar en kraftfull ställning i frågan och lyfter återigen den stora skillnaden mellan tillfällig fitness och långsiktig hälsa. Dessutom har veckans podd en air av sololja och kokos då avsnittet är inspelat på Apollos fantastiska anläggning i Thailand; Thanyapura! Till yttermera vissa pratas det en del om efterskalven till köttavsnitten och annat tumultariskt prat. Avsnitt 35 av podden är ren dynamit! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It is a true honor to present my second all english episode – an interview with one of the most influential and successful triathletes: Chris “Macca” McCormack. He has won the ITU World Champion title five times, he has broken the 8-hour barrier over the Ironman distance 4 times – the only man to break the barrier more than twice. Hailed by ESPN as the “world’s fittest athlete”, he has won more than 220 races during his career as a professional triathlete, with a stunning 76 per cent win rate in his race career events. Together with swedish tour operator Apollo I got the chance to meet up with Macca at the fantastic sport hotel Thanyapura, in Phuket Thailand, where he now is the Executive Chairman. We talk about his childhood, about the first time he saw the Kona Ironman on TV together with his mother, about discovering the world through triathlon. About being an outsider in the triathlon world, about the “mind game” and about being inspired by Muhammad Ali. And remember: a goal is a dream with a plan.

Precis i början av september fick jag följa med Apollo Sverige på en intensiv träningsresa till den helt otroliga träningsanläggningen Thanyapura på Phuket i Thailand. Thanyapura ligger mitt på ön, lugnt placerad bort från hotellkomplexen vid kusten. I centrum ligger en stor olympisk bassäng, alldeles bredvid en fin restaurang och ytterligare en bit bort en 500-metersbana. På anläggningen finns även två gym, ett flertal salar för yoga och stretch, ett rum för Muay Thai, en stor tennisarena och en fotbollsplan.

Show Notes: THE PROS Macca as we know is not racing due to glandular fever. MG and Macca sit down and talk all things Kona – who are their picks? How will the race pan out at the big dance? Both agree Pete Jacobs is looking in great form having decimated the field in Sunshine Coast 70.3 including swimming with and over Clayton Fettell. A lot will depend on the bike. The benefit of riding in the front pack on the bike has been calculated by Aaron Hersh as 4.30mins Can the 2.40 marathon be beaten – maybe Pete Jacobs or Crowie both capable. The guys talked about how Pete Jacobs will cope in a less than perfect race and will Crowie miss his old nemesis, Macca? THE GIRLS Excited – two years since Chrissie Wellington retired. Leanda Cave won last year and is everything CW was. Now it's time to stand up to win. Rachel Joyce – hard to beat – hasn't raced a lot this year Caroline Steffen – amazing form – fell apart last year scared to win Yvonne Van Vlerken – also up there for third Mirinda Carfrae – for third The talk on the island is always about the weather and of course it will be hot and windy! Prepare for the worst ride 808's. MG and Macca discuss how so many people are out training in the heat – it's in the bank, don't bother. Macca will be attending the TGINR party hosted by Bob Babbitt. MG – talked about the race management at Kona – no support provided for the pro's – or not enough. What difference would it make? The sport hasn't evolved enough. Rules need to progress. HOW SHOULD THE AGE GROUPER APPROACH THE RACE? Heart rate can be deceiving due to the heat. You need a plan particularly a marathon plan. Run lower tyre pressure. Get it into your head – it's going to be uncomfortable. EMBRACE THE SUCK Drink water not the Gatorade on the course – salt tabs for electrolytes. Gatorade makes you thirsty. 1L per hour. Be flexible in your nutrition during the race. Roll with the punches during the run. Great book – Waterlogged by Tim Noakes   MG and Macca talked about Thanyapura in Thailand and what a great training facility especially for Kona prep. QUESTION TIME • When will Challenge run a World Championship? • St George Bank Series - how to run it – build a festival and they will come • How to keep weight on during training? • One piece of advice for your A race? Interesting fact – 1 in 5 do not qualify for Kona – such as celebrities… Twitter tags: @petejjacobs, @timdeboom, @CrowieAlexander, @claytonfettell, @Andy_Potts, @raelertbrothers, @BinkMarino, @TriathleteTech, @MarkAllenOnline, @DaveScott6x, @zcoaching, @reid6peter, @normans, @SebastianKienle, @lukemckenzie, @rappstar, @JimmyRiccitello, @bevanjdocherty, @enekollanos, @Terenzo1, @Faris_Al_Sultan, @TOinTri, @Bob_Babbitt, @chrissiesmiles, @leandacave, @RJoyce09, @Mirindacarfrae, @Caroline_Xena, @yvonnevlerken, @steve_mona, @dirkbockel, @ronnieschildknecht, @bartaernouts, @rebekahkeat, @jodieswallow, @VesterbyTri, @marybethellis, @IronmanTri, @LucVanLierde, @ProfTimNoakes, @David_Dellow, @GordonRamsay, @onedirection

Alan welcomes all participants and gives an overview of what the retreat will entail as well as some information on Thanyapura. After meditation Alan talks about motivations for the retreat and values of cultivating different kinds of intelligence. > Conative Intelligence is the ability to recognize which of our desires are meaningful. > Attentional Intelligence is choosing where to put our attention. > Cognitive Intelligence is the clarity of mind engaging with reality as it is. > Emotional Intelligence shows whether our emotional responses are balanced as compared to over-reactive. The practice of Shamatha enhances these four forms of intelligence and leads to a shift in our priorities. Note: Several sections concerning logistical issues have been removed from the recording. The meditation begins at 02:50
