Most of us are familiar with the idea that you need to take 10 thousand steps per day to stay healthy but getting to this magic number is not that easy. The 10,000-step target first became popular in Japan in the 1960s. A clockmaker capitalising on people's new interest in fitness following the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games made a pedometer with a name that, when written in Japanese characters, resembled a walking man and coincidentally translated as “10,000-steps metre.” A study of over 78,000 people in the UK between 2013 and 2015 using wearable trackers was published in the journals JAMA Internal Medicine and JAMA Neurology. Where did we get the number 10 thousand from? Does that mean that we do not need to take 10 steps? So how many steps should I be aiming for per day? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In 2021 Shane Wiskus represented team USA at the Tokyo Olympic Games, helping the men's gymnastics team finish 5th. Shane finished 9th individually on floor just missing the out on the Olympic final and 23rd in the All around but suffered from the two per country rule in the sport. He competed for the University of Minnesota throughout his NCAA college career up until the program was controversially disbanded in 2021. Shane has won a total of five Pan American championships medals and multiple National titles to date. At the 2024 US Olympic trials Shane placed third in the All around after an incredible performance but was only named to the team as the travelling reserve. Shane is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and is now based in Florida as part of the very successful EVO gymnastics team. And this is his story. 

In this deep and unfiltered conversation, Kanoa Igarashi joins The Lineup fresh off the Western Margaret River Pro—ranked fourth in the world and hungrier for the World Title than ever. We kick things off with Kanoa's take on The Box, one of the heaviest slabs to return to the tour since 2019, where it's either twos or tens, and every drop could be your ticket to glory—or a slam on the reef. He breaks down the difference between his Main Break and Box quivers, gets into the nuance of board design with JS, and reflects on how his surfing instincts have sharpened through the years. Kanoa opens up about the evolution of his mindset—what it was like competing against one of his surfing idols in Julian Wilson, how his 2022 Top 5 finish left him feeling like he had more to prove, and why he believes his real title window is just beginning. He gets candid about overcoming imposter syndrome, dialing in every 1% of his game, and finally feeling like he's built the complete package. We dive into the Olympic effect—from the pressure cooker of the build up and competing at Tokyo Olympic Games to the emotional release of finally holding that medal. Kanoa compares notes with fellow Olympians like Noah Lyles, shares how surfing changed his life on and off the world stage, and reflects on the balance between fame, authenticity, and his roots in the Quiksilver Young Guns program. He discusses how people like Stephen ‘Belly' Bell helped shape his outlook as a growing professional surfer, talks partnerships, the importance of supportive brands throughout his career, and walks us through his decision to sign with Neutrogena as one of their first surf ambassadors. We wrap with a look ahead to Trestles and the huge change to the 2026 Tour Schedule and format. Kanoa touches on training, strategy, and the importance of feeling at home during comps.  Learn more about Kanoa here and Follow him here. Relive the Western Australia Margaret River Pro.

As opposed to removal work like throwing out trash, cutting bamboo, and organizing storage, my brother and I have finally completed our first tangible contribution to the property: a French drain. Below, I've listed the Japanese “netron” pipe product we used for the drain, which is quite unique from the typical perforated pipe you'd find in the United States. Unfortunately, I haven't found a supplier of netron pipes for you in the US.The other major task that we completed this month was the removal of an estimated 400 small bales of straw from the attic. With one bale averaging 10 pounds, we removed roughly 2 tons of straw! Bale by bale, we piled them up in the backyard. We wore long sleeves to keep our skin relatively clean, plus we wore heavy-duty respirators. The back-breaking work in the humid attic forced me to enter a mental state of detachment, repeating in my head, “Just one at a time. Just one at a time.” I'm glad it's over.As someone with a soft spot for traditional architecture, I've been flirting with the idea of re-thatching the old roof. I hesitated to expose the straw to the elements in the backyard because that amount of straw would be enough to thatch most, if not all, of the roof. However, the current priority for me is to reduce the weight of the building in preparation for the foundation retrofit. As a consolation, I have contacted kusa-kanmuri, an incredible thatch roof company in Kobe, to try to donate the straw. I hope it can go to good use.Having spent over a week in the attic, I have become more familiar with the construction of traditional Japanese roof framing. This makes today's book all the more timely. The Art Of Japanese Joinery by Kiyoshi Seike has helped me to examine the various wooden joints around the house with a more trained eye. While it is not a strict how-to manual, the book's photographs and diagrams helped move me from a pure novice of Japanese joinery to an educated amateur. While I can rely on my brother (a trained carpenter) for detailed woodwork, I will certainly reference Seike's book for guidance when we start restoring the wood framing.Kiyoshi Seike was one of the most influential architects of Japan's post-war era. His long list of architectural works includes residential homes, university buildings, and structures for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The house he built for himself in Toyko, simply titled “My House” (watashi no ie), is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. In fact, you can schedule a visit using this Japanese website if you are interested.In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the history of Japanese joinery from Seike's point of view. We learn about the origins of kiwari, Japan's human-centered measuring and proportioning system. We learn about how to best implement joinery (namely that you ought to reinforce wooden joints with adhesives, nails, or metal braces). We also get a taste of Seike's comprehensive and technical list of types of tsugite joints and shiguchi joints. Please enjoy.Local Japan Podcast is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome back to the Paris Pod, where Travis Mewhirter and now Kyle Friend break down and analyze the Paris Olympic Beach Volleyball. It has been a wild few days, with the standout storylines being: Cuba, Jorge Alayo and Noslen Diaz, absolutely charging, upsetting Andy Benesh and Miles Partain, then George Wanderley and Andre Loyola, to take the top spot in pool Sweden's David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, coming off 10 straight finals and 18 consecutive victories, dropping a pair of pool play matches Qatar's Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan, bronze medalists from the Tokyo Olympic Games, going 3-0 in pool and winning the match of the tournament, a stunner over Sweden Andy Benesh and Miles Partain finally getting their mojo back after a listless first two matches And much, much more.

Leading up to the Canadian Women's Olympic opening game against New Zealand in the 2024 Paris Olympics, fans and players alike were focused on one thing - defending their gold medal won in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Unfortunately, a fast-developing investigation into Canada Soccer's use of a drone to spy on opponents' closed practices, and the punishment that has come with it, has diverted all attention from the games and even put the validity of the gold they are defending into question. James Sharman joins the show today to talk about it and to share his perspective on the matter to start the week of podcasting with Bob and John.

In part II of our Olympics special, we meet more of the Olympic entourage supporting Luxembourg's athletes in Paris this summer, plus more sport experts. - Raymond Conzemius - Chef de mission of Team Lëtzebuerg for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, Technical Sports Director at COSL - Christophe Ley - Associate Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Luxembourg - Aude Aguilaniu - Physiotherapist, ex elite athlete (Ski Cross) - Max Englaro - Strength & Conditioning, & Rehab Coach U23 FC Augsburg - Frank Muller - Sport Psychologist - Nina Goedert - Physiotherapist Raymond Conzemius, Chef de Mission of Team Lëtzebuerg for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 joins me with some of the Olympic Team's entourage including sport psychologist Frank Müller and physiotherapist Nina Goedert. Christophe Ley discusses the increasing use of statistics in sport science and many accompanied sports ventures. Strength & Conditioning, & Rehab Coach for U23 FC Augsburg, Max Englaro, uses such metrics to work with his footballers. And Aude Aguilaniu, now a physiotherapist, previously an Olympic level athlete for Ski Cross talks about the absolute need to build resilience after career-shattering injuries. Raymond is a former international athlete in high jump, and still holds the national record with 2.22m. Unfortunately he didn't have the chance to participate in the Olympic Games or World Championships but has happily found a career supporting others to attain that dream.   Conzemius is the Founder and Former director of Sportlycée, the sport secondary school in Luxembourg, and highlights the importance of an integrated approach to sports development in Luxembourg. Max Englaro is a Strength & Conditioning, and Rehab Coach for FC Augsburg U23. Prior to this, he was Head of Performance in the Vienna Football Academy. Max observes how young children or adolescents are talent spotted and then developed into sports stars with the help of targeted training, nutrition, medication and sleep, to name but a few of the metrics. With increasing emphasis on sport sciences the measurements and data around elite performance can enhance results. Christophe Ley, Associate Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Luxembourg, President of the Luxembourg Statistical Society, President of ECAS (European Center for Advanced Statistics Courses) and leader of the international network S-TRAINING (bridging sports science and data science) is, in fact, the catalyst of these two week's of Olympic conversations. Christophe and Yves Dominicy (from last week's show) have written books on statistics in sport. Through chosen measurements it is possible to use maths to predict outcomes of matches. The accuracy of such predictions naturally depends on many factors. For instance, handball will give you about 81% accuracy compared to football where, apparently, more luck is involved in scoring and there are generally fewer scores. So with football the outcome of positive prediction stands at about 65%. Sport medicine and metrics is a fast growing industry, even for non-professional athletes, with the possibility of wearables and nutrition information available to us all. However, data science and AI is also vital to help prevent injury. Christophe will be organising the international MathSport Conference next year in Luxembourg, June 2025. https://math.uni.lu/midas/events/mathsports2025/ Aude Aguilaniu is now a physiotherapist and researcher, having previously been a world-class skier. Aude actually qualified for the Sotchi Winter Olympics in 2014 but was seriously injured just a few months before and so couldn't participate. She talks about resilience building, injury prevention and her latest research project on injury prevention: Healthy Active. Frank Müller is a former competitive basketball player and now a sport psychologist at the Sportlycée in Luxembourg. He is also an external expert for the LIHPS (Luxembourg Institute for High Performance in Sports) and the COSL (National Olympic Committee), providing psychological support to elite athletes and coaches. Frank talks about his different responsibilities and how he coaches the minds of elite athletes for all possible eventualities. He also works with the group around that athlete which includes coaches, physios and parents. As with so many things, being an elite athlete means that you sit in the centre of a team of experts. Nina Goedert, a sports physiotherapist, reiterates the absolute importance of communication in a cross-disciplinary collaboration. Nina Goedert works with athletes of all ages and levels, those dealing with injury and those working on prevention strategies. She has participated in multiple national and international sports events in her role as a sports physio, including the Tokyo Olympic Games 2021, World Games 2022, European Games 2019 & 2023, Games of the Small States of Europe 2019 & 2023, and several European Championships in Karate, etc.). Nina will be part of the team supporting the athletes in Paris this summer. We wish all of the athletes the very best of luck this summer in the Olympic Games, and the supporting entourage too! https://teamletzebuerg.lu/ https://www.fcaugsburg.de/games/?team=u23 www.sportlycee.lu https://math.uni.lu/midas/events/mathsports2025/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/raymond-conzemius-328a9147/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophe-ley-b71607166/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/aude-aguilaniu-24a05343/

Most of us are familiar with the idea that you need to take 10 thousand steps per day to stay healthy but getting to this magic number is not that easy. The 10,000-step target first became popular in Japan in the 1960s. A clockmaker capitalising on people's new interest in fitness following the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games made a pedometer with a name that, when written in Japanese characters, resembled a walking man and coincidentally translated as “10,000-steps metre.” A study of over 78,000 people in the UK between 2013 and 2015 using wearable trackers was published in the journals JAMA Internal Medicine and JAMA Neurology.

In July 2021, Naomi Osaka—world number 1 women's tennis player—lit the Olympic Cauldron at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The half-Japanese, half-American, Black athlete was a symbol of a more complicated, more multiethnic Japan—and of the global nature of high-level sports. Osaka is now about to start her comeback, after taking some time off following the birth of her child. She's not just an athlete: She's a media entrepreneur, venture investor, and mental health advocate—with that latter label coming with difficult conversations about the wellbeing of high-performance athletes, and their obligations to the media. Just in time for her comeback tour, tennis writer Ben Rothenberg is here with a new biography of the tennis star: Naomi Osaka: Her Journey to Finding Her Power and Her Voice (Dutton, 2024). Ben Rothenberg is a sportswriter from Washington, D.C. who has covered Naomi Osaka around the world since she emerged onto the WTA Tour in 2014, both in print for The New York Times—for which he covered tennis from 2011-2022—and on his podcast, No Challenges Remaining.

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"   In this episode of One Moment Longer with Greg Bennett, I am joined by Simon Whitfield, Jan Frodeno, Hamish Carter & Alistair Brownlee. I wanted to re-share this epic episode from July 23, 2021 (episode #82)   If you're like me, you've loved the Olympics since you can remember. I've always enjoyed watching the best in the world battle it out on the big stage ... none more so than the sport of Triathlon. I've always wondered what it takes to win on that special day, and what it must feel like crossing that finish line knowing that you are the Olympic champion, and how does that heavy medal affect the rest of your life?   In this episode I have all of Triathlons men's gold medalists on the show. Five Gold and one Silver between the four of them. Simon Whitfield, Hamish Carter, Jan Frodeno, and Alistair Brownlee.   Men that I have raced and trained with, men that have conquered the world, and have been heroes to their respective countries. All of them I admire and would call mates, the best men you could ever share a beer with ... all-around top blokes.   They've all been on the show at least once. You can find their past episodes on your podcast app of choice. But never have they all been together on the one show. I'm feeling very honored that they have all agreed to come on, and amazed that we were able to coordinate times from all corners of the world.   In this episode, each of the Olympic Champions shares their stories, what they were thinking the days leading into the race? What was going through their head at the pivotal moment of the race? When did they feel like they had it won and what was the initial feeling they each had as they crossed the line knowing they were the Olympic Champion. Jan Frodeno's answer will make you laugh. They each describe how the Gold medal has affected their lives. Their answers may surprise you.   This has to be one of the greatest podcast episodes ever. What a thrill it was for me to chat with all of these champions.   Timestamps 13:09 - What were the emotions and feelings for each of these professional athletes 10 days out from their own Olympics campaign? You need to calm down and trust the work you've done 18:43 - Jan Frodeno describes his pre Olympic campaign and how he was thinking 10 days prior to racing. Dreams do come true. Letting go, and letting the race happen 22:51 - Alistair competed in London and The Rio Olympics and describes how he approached both start-lines. Alistair went into London as the key favourite, with an enormous amount of pressure and self belief. 27:39 - Simon Whitfield describes his pre-race prep for the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the emotion of running down Macquarie Street towards the finish line. I wasn't there to win, I was there to perform 29:41 - The 4 lads explain the final sprints and how they each found something deeper towards the finish line. The simple fact, they all trained heavily for a sprint finish and were prepared. This was the moment that I trained for 48:23 - How did winning a gold medal at an Olympics affect each of their lives? You don't know how to feel 1:06:04 - As this is a repeat episode we finish with the lads predictions for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Remembering that these were held in the middle of the COVID pandemic with no crowds. In hindsight, were the boys close in each of their predictions? If it comes down to a sprint, don't go too early, and don't go too late 1:22:18 - Interview concludes.   Links Be sure and check out bennettendurance.com Find Greg on social media: Twitter @GregBennett1 Instagram @GregBennettWorld   And follow the lads: Simon Whitfield: website: https://www.simonwhitfield.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/simonwhitfield LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-whitfield Alistair Brownlee: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alistair.brownlee/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/AliBrownleetri Jan Frodeno: AnyQuestion: https://www.anyquestion.com/triathlon/profile/jan-frodeno~3exp995862 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janfrodeno/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/janfrodeno?lang=en

Jill Moffatt and Jenny Casson didn't dream of becoming Canadian Olympic rowers. In fact, neither actually started the sport until they were a little older, but discovered quickly they both had an innate talent for the sport. This talent, coupled with their chemistry and work ethic, landed them a spot at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games and they're currently in the process of trying to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It all seems like a fairy tale, right? Start a sport later in life and still land at the Olympics?! Amazing? Yes. Fairy tale? Not always.Today, Sara, Jenny, and Jill have a wide-reaching and powerful conversation about the pros and cons of being a high-level athlete, including:How they complement each other as a pair Dealing with the pressure that their spot in the boat is never guaranteedApproaching mandatory weigh-ins during race season Tracking their cycles for performanceHandling their inevitable personality differences on and off the waterJenny and Jill also candidly address the toxic culture and predatory behavior that existed just a few years ago on their team, along with the organization that was complicit in this behavior. The personal damage and erosion of trust were and are devastating for both, but Jenny and Jill remain vocal advocates for providing support, education, and advice on spotting, addressing, and changing predatory behavior. No doubt, this is a duo we look forward to watching in Paris. Best of luck to Jenny and Jill!

"To go out on top — there are so few athletes that can say that, and that really wasn't my plan! I just wanted to know when it would be over so that I could put everything that I had into each throw." Kara Winger had long planned for 2022 to be her final javelin season. And what a final season it was! The four-time Olympian capped off her 18-year international career by winning her first global medal (silver, at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, OR), and becoming the first U.S. woman to medal in the javelin at a world championships event. She set a new American record. She took the win at the Wanda Diamond League final. And, after 12 years, she finally broke her own personal record. In this conversation, Kara reflects on her career and on what it means to go out on top. She talks about the support she has felt in the track and field community, and about when she made the decision to retire. She talks about being chosen to be the Team USA flag bearer at last summer's Tokyo Olympic Games, and talks about the struggles she's faced with injuries (two ACL tears and a labrum tear in her left shoulder) and setbacks. Now, the Tracksmith-sponsored athlete will begin the next chapter of her career as the senior director for Parity, an organization dedicated to closing the gender pay gap in sports.

With more than 70 Olympians and 30 medals to his name, there aren't many coaches as prolific as Stu McMillan.  But did you know he'd had 38 jobs by the time he was 37 (including one as a “baked potato boy”)?  How about that he didn't start working in elite track & field until his 40's? This week, we had the chance to sit down (in person!) with Stu and discuss topics and questions he seldom addresses: The ONE thing every coach needs to learn and take more seriously  His unique definition of effective leadership and how he implements it daily Where he draws the line on sharing personal and business information with his staff Why more coaches should start sharing their work publicly Stu McMillan is the co-owner and CEO of ALTIS. He has been a professional S&C and Sprints Coach for over 28 years, and has worked with professional and amateur athletes in a variety of sports - with the focus being on power and speed development. Stu has personally coached over 70 Olympians at 7 Olympic Games; over 30 of whom have won Olympic medals. Most recently, he coached British sprinter Jodie Williams to a sixth-place finish in the 400m at the Tokyo Olympic Games. If you want to learn more about Stu's work at Altis, you can visit Altis.world.
