It's our Paris Olympics recap show! I'm joined by pilates queen and athletics fan Alice Baquie. Together, we chat all things Olympics: the highs including Jess Hull's silver medal in the women's 1500m, to the lows of athletes being trolled online. I share an on-the-ground perspective from the men's 1500m final where I was trackside, while Alice tells us about her riotous marathon watch party where gin shots may have been consumed. Alice Baquie has worked as a physiotherapist for 14 years in a hospital setting, in private practice clinic and on sporting team bodies, ranging from the Singaporean gymnastics to hockey teams to Victorian Institute of Sport athletics. Recently, Alice found her niche in the Pilates for runners space, where the focus is on injury prevention. Alice took a pivot into the tech industry during the pandemic and founded an app which she works passionately on daily, in addition to community-based physiotherapy and Pilates.  As a former elite gymnast and having competed at a national level for distance running in cross country, Alice possesses a profound understanding of athletes' unique needs and feels they can be applied to every active person for better health outcomes. Her influence is far-reaching, hosting a multitude of classes with a dedicated following, including 25 Australian, German, American, British and South African Olympians. -- Intro and outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

Ever wondered who's behind the scenes supporting our athletes to peak for the biggest races of their lives? This week we get a back-office perspective of high performance sport with sports scientist Avish Sharma.  Avish dials in from an altitude training camp in St Moritz, Switzerland where he's been supporting our Australian athletes in their preparations for Paris. We talk about how hills, heat and altitude help optimise performance, but also the soft skills required for creating a positive training environment. In other words, it's all about a holistic approach. As an example, Jess Hull has spoken about numerous factors that have led to her breaking the 2000m World Record (5:19.70) and becoming 5th fastest woman of all-time over 1500m (3:50.83). Avish Sharma is a Performance Scientist (Physiology) at the Victorian Institute of Sport in Australia, working in the Athletics program. Prior to this, he was physiology and research lead at Triathlon Australia (2018 to 2021). He completed his PhD in altitude training (training prescription and periodisation at altitude in elite runners) at the Australian Institute of Sport and University of Canberra, whilst also supporting the Athletics and Swimming programs based there. His interests include endurance physiology (particularly optimising training prescription), holistic success factors for world class athletes, developmental pathways for sport scientists, being a mediocre surfer, and eating noodles. -- Follow Run With It on Instagram @runwithit.pod Intro and outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

In 2005, Dr Bennet Omalu would publish a report in the United States on the autopsy brain findings of a former professional footballer from the NFL. His conclusion was the former athlete suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE); a disease caused by repeated brain injuries most likely due to sport. The response was swift and severe claiming that the findings were incorrect, the conclusions erroneous, and a retraction of this report was demanded. Surprisingly, this was not the first time medical literature has noted the link between sport, repeated head injuries and brain damage. The first publication was written in 1928 by Dr Harrison Martland who was the Chief Medical Examiner of Essex County in New Jersey. Harrison performed hundreds of autopsies on people with head injuries including boxers. He noted twenty-three examples of boxers with permanent brain damage that he called ‘punch drunk'. Other researchers found this was not limited to boxing but other contact sports such as football. Later, this condition became known as ‘Dementia pugilistica'. This disease has surged into the spotlight in the last decade due to a number of high-profile athletes who have been diagnosed with CTE. Unfortunately, both professional and amateur athletes are at risk. This condition also greatly impacts the family and friends of those who suffer from it. However, a great deal of misinformation also exists about the risks and causes of this disease. These two episodes (of which this is part 1) are designed to explain what we know, what we don't, and what can be done about this debilitating condition. This is the story of CTE, part 1. ** Please note: General Practitioners in Australia, will be able to claim 2.25 CPD points after listening to this episode and part 2. Full details and registration on our GP CPD Points page. Our special guests: Renee Tuck – sister of Shane Tuck who was a professional footballer in the Australian Football League (AFL) playing 173 games and a brief career as a boxer. Later in Shane's career, he suffered from mental health issues and in July 2020 took his own life. Shane was diagnosed with a severe form of CTE. He was only 38 years old. Associate Professor Michael Buckland – Head of the Neuropathology department at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, founder and director of the Australian Sports Brain Bank (ASBB), co-director of the Multiple Sclerosis Australian Brain Bank, and Head of the Molecular Neuropathology Program at the Brain & Mind Centre. Associate Professor Linda Iles – Head of the Forensic Pathology Services at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine (VIFM).

What she discovers in these exams is extraordinary, and telling to the life that person lead.  More recently, CTE has been something she's on the look out for.  Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a progressive degenerative brain disease typically found in individuals with a history of repetitive brain trauma, such as athletes involved in contact sports like AFL, NRL, soccer and martial arts.  Understand how someone is diagnosed post-mortem, and the intricate details of brain examinations with host Kathryn Fox; as she chats with Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine's Dr Linda Iles.  For more information on CTE or if anyone you know is showing symptoms and you need support, visit the following resources:  https://www.concussionfoundation.com.au/helpline  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sandy Jamieson has been a PGA professional for more than 30 years, over the course of his career he has coached both elite amateurs through the auspices of the Victorian Institute of Sport and has travelled the world tending to the coaching requirements of players such as Robert Allenby, Jarrod Lyle and major winner Y.E. Yang. Family life would intervene and Sandy was ultimately drawn back to his hometown of Melbourne, where he took up the head professional position at Commenwealth Golf Club. Over the next number of years Sandy noticed golf was changing - many of the high profile courses in Melbourne no longer had waiting lists or indeed full membership compliments and playing numbers at the public access facilities were nose diving. A man of action, he resolved to do something that many others in his position might not have. He wanted to create an additional pathway to the game of golf that would be fun, affordable, accessible and inclusive - one that wouldn't compete with existing pathways but support and augment the efforts of his PGA brethern. Sandy left his head pro position - created the 1Club Golf program and brought it initially to the Oakleigh Public Golf Course. The program has gone from strength to strength since its launch - this is Sandy's story - a complimentary model towards the further growth of the game. We hope you enjoy the conversation! www.1club.golf Special Guest: Sandy Jamieson.

“On some level I felt like there is a part of me that is in a new location, a new scene, a new set of lines but it's life, it's not fantasy.I feel like this is where I'm meant to be.  I've always felt like I'm on a journey to somewhere but I don't think I've felt as at home anywhere else I've been than where I am now.  It just makes sense.”  - Harriet SpaldingHarriet Spalding has had an amazing life and admits that was largely due to the lottery of being raised by extraordinary parents.Her mother, Barbara did her final school exams in a sanatorium, suspected of having TB in the early 1950's, and came top of the state.  She went on to run the Victorian Council of Social Services (VCOSS), The Victorian Institute of Secondary Education (VISE), multiple State and Federal philanthropical organizations and culminated her career by working for the World Health Organization. She was awarded an Order of Australia in 2018 at the age of 80.Her father, after completing 2 degrees simultaneously at Melbourne University, hitchhiked around Australia in the late 50s and then travelled again in the early 60's to every single Aboriginal mission. One of the few people to ever have made the journey. He returned to Melbourne and quietly dedicated the remainder of his life advocating for the importance of acknowledging the 'true' condition of Aboriginal Australians and the misrepresentation of their history in educational texts. His expansive experiences on the road in Australian Aboriginal communities and his subsequent involvement in the Overseas Service Bureau aka Community Aid Abroad meant Harriet and her sisters were exposed to a diverse community of his ‘ friends' during their formative years.Harriet studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney, then went to the US, Mexico and Canada to work as an assistant director on international film and television productions.  She then worked with the formidable Australian Producer, Andrew Mason (The Matrix Trilogies and The Crow) to assist on International co-productions in locations such as Romania and France.She lived in Aspen Colorado for over 20 years and started to teach yoga there.  She still teaches one or two classes a day.  She was asked to teach yoga in Arles in the south of France, which is where she now lives.She talks about her love for the cultural and historical richness that exists in Arles and on life en Camargue, where she rides horses with the Guardians and the people trying to hold on to their deep love of traditions and customs unique to this region of the world.Harriet is the creator of  “La Belle Vie Project”, a hospitality program for people who need time and space to work creatively:  https://labellevieresetretraite.mystrikingly.com/#gallery_4-8On 27 April, I am running a free webinar called "Women Empowering Women" - a group of women helping each other to the next level in their career.  I'd love it if you could sign up:  https://mailchi.mp/ac893611d578/gu7xgku6p7I would love to hear any comments you might have on this episode and respond to any questions.  You can find me on the Brave New World Facebook page, on Linkedin or on my websiteCecilia PoullainFounder of Brave New WomenCoach - Empowering Women to Find their Voicehttps://ceciliapoullain.comMusic:  Stephen Marquis https://songsta.com.auEditing: Talal BourokiCecilia PoullainFounder of Brave New WomenCoach - Empowering Women to Find their Voice

The Politics of Being America's Professional Diplomats (0:28)Guest: Paul Richter, Former State Department Correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, Author of “The Ambassadors: America's Diplomats on the Front Lines”Some of the most damaging testimony against President Trump in the impeachment inquiry has come from people who've made their careers working as diplomats for the US government. They're not political appointees, so they often stay on the job even when they disagree with the President. Rarely do those differences burst into the spotlight as dramatically as they are right now. Let's take a closer look at the politics of America's Foreign Service. This Guy Trains People to Escape from Kidnappers and Avoid Capture (40:03)Guest: Kevin Reeve, Founder, onPoint Tactical Tracking SchoolUnless you're a foreign correspondent, aid worker or defense contractor, the chances that you'll be kidnapped for ransom or forced on the run trying to evade capture are very slim. But apparently a fair number of ordinary folks fantasize about escaping a hostage situation like one of those tough characters Liam Neeson plays in movies. Kevin Reeve is their guy. He does kidnap and evasion simulations and teaches participants things like how to manipulate your captor and break free of duct tape or zip ties. Reeve has also consulted on movies and with the military.   How Corporations Avoid Paying Federal Income Tax (51:12)Guest: Matthew Gardner, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Taxation and Economic PolicyYou've maybe heard that some of America's biggest corporations managed to pay nothing in federal income taxes last year. Netflix, Amazon, Chevron, Delta Airlines, Eli Lilly, General Motors, IBM, US Steel–that's a partial list. And these companies were profitable in 2018. So the fact that they paid no income tax sounds like cheating. They're very touchy about being called tax cheats. When the New York Times did a front-page story on FedEx's zero taxes for 2018 a few weeks ago, the CEO of FedEx called it an “outrageous distortion” and challenged the publisher of the New York Times to a duel. Okay, not a duel. A debate about taxes. But it had a sort of Hamilton/Burr feel to it. So, what's going on here? How do profitable companies pay no income tax on those profits? Humanitarian Forensic Scientists Identify the Dead after Disasters (1:06:21)Guest: Stephen Cordner, Professor of Forensic Pathology at Monash University and Head of the International Programmes at Victorian Institute of Forensic MedicineIn any humanitarian response –whether it's for a natural disaster or a war –the focus is primarily on the survivors. Unfortunately, there are usually also the dead to attend to. Fifteen years ago, the International Committee of the Red Cross recognized the need to formalize that part of the humanitarian response and created something known as “humanitarian forensics.” Humans Drank Milk 6,000 Years Ago (1:19:52)Guest: Sophy Charlton, Researcher of Biomolecular Archaeology at the University of YorkTheaverage American consumes more than 600 pounds of dairy products per year. But it definitely didn't used to be that way –humans couldn't always drink milk. Ancient adults were lactose intolerant, and it's still a mystery why so many humans aren't anymore.That's why it was a big surprise when researchers from the University of York examined teeth from people who lived 6,000 years ago and discovered that they consumed dairy.
