The Endurance Specific Podcast

Pete and I have been talking recently about ways we have sabotaged ourselves, our fitness, our health and our triathlon results and we see athletes making some of these mistakes repeatedly. Now we don’t cover everything because much of it we have covered in previous podcasts with ourselves and other guest experts and pro athletes + many topics are covered in our Bottlenecks project. This one is pretty short and sweet but will give you a number of things to think about and maybe change.

Enjoy!

• Reverting to sub-optimal habits in race week or on race day.
• Big mistakes when it comes to your bike.
• The details.
• Paying attention (or not) to the internal dashboard.
• Learning.

Today we have our good buddy Craig Percival on the Fat Black Podcast for the second time (he was on way back in FB23 talking all about swimming). This time we go into his next and biggest ultra challenge to date which is 8in8in8. That is 8 iron distances, in 8 days, crossing Australia’s 8 states and territories. Now with Australia being the land mass it is… It makes it a bit of a logistical nightmare and some relatively quick times to make next flights. Get inspired to be #allergictoaverage with Craig. Enjoy.

• The Why
• How the SBR will be the Easy part
• The importance of the team
• The crazy logistics
• The training involved
• Preparing for the mental challenges
• His fuelling ... Not our way ;)
• His thoughts on how the finish will go.

Today we have Dr Kevin Maggs of Running Reform on The Fat Black podcast. Kevin has studied Kinesiology and Chiropractic and was brought on by Rev3 triathlon to be their ART (Active Release Technique director). Kevin created one of/if not the best video education on prescribing running shoes (link below) and started Running Reform after continually hearing the same thing over and over from both pro and age group athletes. Their pain goes away with rest but always comes back with re-introduction of training and this will always be the case when biomechanics aren’t addressed. Today we address that topic and many others.

• What is the right shoe for you?
• What is relevant when choosing shoes.
• The factors that go into injuries.
• What can influence your technique.
• Gait re-education.
• The 3 aspects of biomechanics.
• How to change your cadence.
• Fatigue and biomechanics.
• Questions you need to be asking your practitioner.
• Respecting your injury.
• The problem with orthotics.
• Barefoot running.

Today we have Bill Chaffey on the Fat Black to talk about how that accident has shaped his life, and the what it really takes to turn tragedy into triumph. Last year he took out first place in his Cat @ the ITU Worlds in Chicago - which Pete go to watch live - and for the past 7 years or so has been dominating the Olympic distance with multiple WC wins, and came 2nd in Kona in 2013…..

Bill is an exceptional athlete no doubt, but he has an inspiring story to share….

In 2005, just 5 days before his first IM, Bill was in a serious accident, resulting in spinal damage, a broken pelvis, broken elbows and serious internal injuries. Today we get to see what makes Bill tick and how he goes about preparing to get the nod to race in Rio.

• When you really know what you want.

• The value of structure and constant communication.

• Embracing challenges.

• What motivates Bill.

• The ONLY person you should never let down.

• The little things VS the big picture.

• Bill’s biggest mistake.

• Preparing for realistic goals.
