The government has announced an independent inquiry into repeated failings in maternity services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Earlier this year, a BBC investigation revealed that the deaths of at least 56 babies and two mothers over the past five years at the Trust could perhaps have been avoided. BBC correspondent Divya Talwar joins Nuala McGovern, alongside Lauren Caulfield and Amarjit Kaur Matharoo, who both tragically lost their babies while receiving care at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. This month, the Ironman World Championships were held in Kona, Hawaii, where Britain's Kat Matthews won silver. The men's and women's championships, previously held simultaneously, were split into separate events in 2023. However, they are set to reunite next year. Questions have been raised about the impact this change may have on female competitors. To discuss the championships and celebrate Kat's achievement, Nuala is joined by Kat Matthews and Jordan Blanco, a contributor to Triathlete magazine who attended the event. A new report reveals that progress towards gender equity in the architecture profession still remains too slow. Inequalities remain deeply rooted — with pay disparities, toxic and exclusionary workplace cultures, and half of female respondents surveyed said they had been bullied, and a third had experienced sexual harassment at work. Nuala hears from Valerie Vaughan-Dick, Chief Executive of Royal Institute of British Architects, and Helen Lee who was the project architect on a social housing development in London for the elderly which has just won this year's Stirling Prize for Architecture. The Essex witch trials represent one of the darkest chapters in British history. A new Sky History series, Witches of Essex, revisits the real lives of women accused of witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries, drawing on newly examined court records and the latest historical research. Historian Dr Eleanor Janega joins Nuala to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

Is your wearable helping or hindering your performance? In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Shona Halson – globally respected expert in sleep, recovery and athletic performance – to unpack what the science actually says about popular wearables like Whoop bands and Oura rings. With more age group triathletes collecting 24/7 data, it’s easy to get lost in numbers and miss what truly matters. Shona shares her evidence-based insights to help you cut through the hype and use wearables wisely to improve sleep, training and recovery. In this episode, we cover: How wearables like Whoop and Oura stack up for accuracy What sleep metrics you can actually trust (and which are fluff) Understanding HRV and recovery scores – are they useful? Napping 101: what duration is ideal for triathletes? The sneaky impact of caffeine and alcohol on sleep Morning vs overnight data: what’s better for training decisions? Sleep across the menstrual cycle – what the latest research shows Top 3 tips to get the most from your wearable (without losing your mind) Which device is best: Whoop, Oura or something else? Whether you're already wearing one or considering jumping on board, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you stop obsessing over your data and start using it for smarter recovery and race-day performance.

Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 3 - Recognizing Your Controllables & Uncontrollables In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In sports, as in life, there are always things that you cannot control. The list is seemingly endless. But, what you can control is how you respond, If it's hot and humid on race day, how will you respond? If you get a flat tire on the bike, how will you respond? If you get hit on the head in the swim, how will you respond? In this episode, Coach Tim walks you through how to identify what you can control and what you can't control. He then discusses strategies on how to subjectively respond to the uncontrollable conditions and also the importance of objectively evaluating performance based on those uncontrollable conditions.

How does an Olympic medalist take 19 seconds off her 800 meter time and nearly beat Katie Ledecky? In this episode, I'm joined by Jaimie Fuller from EO Labs, the creators of the Swim Better Handsets, a company I've worked closely with since their early days to share how this breakthrough tech is transforming performance from helping Paige Madden make that jaw dropping improvement to giving triathletes a way to measure swim power in Watts, sync with training peaks, and use AI to pinpoint exactly where they're losing speed. EO is changing the way we understand the swim leg from Olympic podiums to your local pool.

Jennifer Comfort is a USAT-certified triathlon coach, Ironman triathlete, and open water swim observer whose approach to performance blends endurance, mindfulness, and a deep respect for inner stillness.Jennifer didn't start her journey as a seasoned pro. In fact, during her first triathlon 20 years ago, she basically dog paddled through the swim, terrified to put her face in the water. Today, she's a multiple-time Ironman and 70.3 finisher, a Boston Marathon qualifier, and a respected coach guiding adult athletes at all levels. She leads open water swim workouts on the Columbia River and supports world-class endurance swims as an official observer.What sets Jennifer apart, though, is how she's embraced silence as part of her champion's mindset. In a surprising turn, Jennifer shares how a 7-day silent meditation retreat completely changed her life—sharpening her focus, helping her manage anxiety and depression, and giving her a deeper edge as both a coach and an athlete.Looking for a new challenge? Try silence. Whether you're a Masters swimmer, a returning triathlete, or simply someone looking to reconnect with purpose and grit, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and practical advice.In this episode, you'll hear:How Jennifer went from dog paddling her first triathlon to completing full Ironman races and coaching elite athletesWhat it means to be an open water swim observer, and why that role is vital in endurance swimmingWhy her weekly “Open Water Wednesday” swims are creating a strong local swim communityWhat it's really like to go completely silent for seven days—and the breakthroughs that can come from itHer advice for first-time triathletes, including mindset, gear, and how to start without feeling overwhelmedPractical tips for using breathwork, mindfulness, and internal awareness to enhance training and racingHow to balance parenting, training, and business with grace and mental strengthNotable Quote: "We're with ourselves 24/7… so we might as well learn to like ourselves a little bit." – Jennifer ComfortThis episode is for you if you:Are a swimmer curious about trying your first triathlon—or returning to the sportWant to bring more mindfulness and presence into your athletic routineAre intrigued by the idea of a silent retreat and what it might unlock in your lifeAppreciate hearing from women who lead, coach, compete, and rise through challengeJennifer's story reminds us that becoming a champion doesn't always start with winning.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Coach Max Gering discuss how the midpoint of any racing season is more than just a milestone—it's a vital opportunity to pause, assess, and intentionally adjust one's course. Dixon talks about the power of midseason reflection and how to leverage it for sustained high performance. Racing reveals more than just physical fitness—it reflects your mindset, habits, preparation, and resilience. This episode explores how athletes can utilize these insights to either stay the course or make informed, targeted adjustments that lead to breakthrough results in the second half of the season.
