This week we have a brilliant special edition of the Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast with Dr Anton Krige, discussing the FIVE PERFORMANCE KILLERS that affect endurance athletes, how to identify them and what to do about them. .He gives a fascinating insight into the biggest, often unknown & unrecognised factors that affect athlete performance and health. .You'll hear:. Why sleep is just as, if not more important a focus as nutrition & diet. How poor quality and / or low quantity of sleep affects everything from blood sugar levels to cortisol production to reducing your body's adaption to training that day (i.e. negating the benefits of your training). How simple behavioural changes (such as tracking sleep and getting 15 minutes of sunlight exposure per day) can have a HUGE impact on your health and athletic performance. The scientific conscensus regarding a healthy diet, even though everybody's biochemistry is different, and the risks of cherry picked, often contradictory nutrition & dietary information available (which has been in the spotlight due to various high profile documentaries recently). Why athletes need a greater intake of protein (1.5-2g per kg of bodyweight per day), why the timing and how spread out this is throughout the day is crucial.The difference in how we absorb vitamins & minerals from animal products vs plants, and the importance of focusing on absorption rather than consumption. The importance of Vitamin B12 and the risk of permanent, irreversible nerve damage as a result of long-term deficiencies (and why B12 supplements in tablet form are virtually useless). Why Vitamin D requires activation from sunlight to be effective; the evidence that indicates higher levels of vitamin D amongst endurance athletes helps reduce infections over winter; and the need to combine Vitamin D with Vitamin K2.. Why addressing the symptoms of issues such as low testosterone levels is the wrong approach, and why identifying the root cause (often one of more of the 5 performance killers) is required.. How this affected Coach Rob and impacted his health You can find out more about Dr. Krige at his website: https://www.bestyou-functionalhealthclinic.co.uk/about.html Disclaimer: Dr Krige has stated that nothing said in the podcast should be construed as personal medical advice and is just for general information.

On this week’s episode, Coach Rob and Coach Chris answer the questions you’ve sent in over the last three weeks regarding how to improve you swim for Ironman. The questions they cover include: My swim times aren’t getting any faster - how do I deal with plateaus in my performance? I see my swim times improving in the pool but can’t translate that into faster open water times. Help! How do I best use technology (such as a Garmin watch) during a swim set? How should I use Pull buoys? When should I move to swimming in Open Water vs pool swimming Do I need to do lots of kicking drills? Should I use Fins? Should I swim with 3 stroke breathing? I had a lesson and the teacher said I should be aiming for 5 or 7 stroke breathing. Should I make my swim endurance intervals longer than 100m? My ankles are really stiff and mean I can’t do kick drills - I literally go backwards ! What shall I do? How do I overcome the fear of swimming in open water?

How do you train to improve your swimming for Ironman triathlon? In this episode, you’ll hear: Why learning to be calm and efficient is more important that getting fast Why runners and cyclists often struggle to translate aerobic fitness into swim speed - and what to do about it Breathing techniques and practices to help you stay calm and relaxed in the water Why you should learn to breathe bilaterally The importance of breathing out, fully, into the water Why a strong push-and-glide off the wall can be really helpful in learning to breathe more effectively The kind of swim progression that you can expect to have in a six month, one year and three year time frame. The difference between ‘training to be faster’ and ‘training to be more efficient.’ Sponsors Like what you heard in this interview?

This week we interview Ian Smith, who recently completed Ironman New Zealand - knocking over an hour off his previous Ironman best, despite now being, in his words, ‘the other side of 50.’ Ian has dedicated himself to his training over the last two years with Team Oxygenaddict, but has also paid a lot of attention to his family-work-training-life balance. Having moved to Australia for a more outdoor life, he’s embraced early morning training to beat the heat of the day, and has learned to love open water swimming, despite his encounters with sharks!

How and when to incorporate brick runs into your training - it’s not what you might think!

Sam Laidlow lead for most of the race at his Kona debut, eventually finishing 2nd to Gustav Iden. He surprised many by obliterating the Kona bike course record and splitting the Norwegian favourites of Iden & Blummenfelt on the day.

The race strategy & tactics at the front of the race in Kona... His power numbers during the bike leg and why he thought he'd gone too hard too soon... Why he plans to exit the water with a several minute lead at the next World Champs... The innovations and equipment decisions that helped him to his Kona result... The importance of building a personal brand as a professional athlete and why it's not all about race results... Why he'd prefer people to hate him than be indifferent about him...

Chris McCormack is a man who moved seamlessly between his life as a professional triathlete (2x Kona Champion, multiple World Champion) and his new business career. As the man behind SuperLeague Triathlon, he has been pivotal in helping ‘professionalise’ the sport of triathlon, giving athletes chance to race (and make money) from short course racing outside of a traditional governing body route. It’s a series that turned triathlon into a more spectator friendly format and made short racing exciting for the general public. As one of the founders of the Pho3nix Foundation, he’s helping fund hundreds of children and young athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds to be able to achieve their potential in Olympic sport. More than that, Macca is one of the biggest fans of triathlon, and one of it’s big thinkers, and we hear his views on where he sees triathlon going next, we review the 2022 triathlon year, and talk about who will be the names to watch in 2023.

Dr. Karim Hammad recently competed at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St. George. A busy doctor, he’s had to learn to balance his desire to train against the realities of his job: 12 hour on-call shifts, night shifts and the challenges of unpredictable work load and lack of routine. His story involves a lot of acceptance of needing to train around ‘the way things are’ rather than ‘the way we would ideally like things to be’, and his success qualifying for the World Championships underlines the importance for all of us of putting recovery, and health, first.

From the Archives: Dave Scott Dave Scott is already well known for his achievements - 6 time winner of Ironman Hawaii between 1980 and 1987, successful coach to champion athletes like Chrissie Wellington, Craig Alexander, Tim Don and Julie Dibens. What is less well known is his ongoing battle with depression that has, at times, left him unable to get off the couch. Dave is open and honest about the challenges he’s faced - how, despite the World regarding him as ‘The Man’, and his countless race successes, striving for perfection and falling short often left him feeling worthless. And he also shares about how, with time, he’s come to see things differently, how his children have helped him, and how, in turn, he’s managed to help other highly driven and obsessive athletes find a little more balance - as well as World Championship victories. We also hear Dave’s thoughts on the efforts of the PTO and their aim of making the sport more professional.

Age Group Story: Laura Wilson tells us about her first Iron distance event at the Lakesman. She smashed her goal of 13.30 by nearly an hour and a half, winning her age group and finishing 7th woman overall, but that only tells part of the story. She kept herself process focused and ‘in the moment’ through the whole event, and is a great example of how focusing on ‘what matters right now’ can really help you create a performance better than you ever imagined was possible.

Ever wondered what it takes to go from not being able to swim at all - to qualifying for Kona ? This week’s interview with Chris Palfreyman will help you understand the reality. We met Chris on our recent French training camp and immediately loved the guy. He has a great story that I think will resonate with so many of our listeners - what does it take to get to Kona, starting from zero? Chris did the work and managed to qualify - but as in so many stories, it was what he learned along the way that was the real reward, rather than actually getting to race in Kona. We’ve invited Chris to join the coaching team at Team Oxygenaddict where he’ll be running our new High Performance Program. If you’re interested, and like what you hear, get in touch!
