    Ep 174: Cold Plunges: Chilly Recovery or Just a Trend? Transitions: The Secret to Racing Like a Pro

    In this episode: Transitions in triathlon aren't just a necessary evil; they’re like the secret sauce that can make or break your race day. Seriously, it takes zero special talent to nail a transition—just a sprinkle of practice and a dash of planning, and voila! You're gliding through T1 and T2 like a pro while the rest of the field is still fumbling with their gear. In this episode, we dive deep into the art of transitions—how to streamline the process, avoid the dreaded brain freeze that hits right after you exit the water, and ultimately save precious seconds that could mean the difference between podium glory and just another race day. We’ll also toss in some gems about goal setting and the importance of communication between you and your coach, because let’s face it, we all need a little guidance when navigating the wild world of multisport. So, grab your gear, and let’s get ready to make those transitions as smooth as butter! Let’s dive into cold plunges, shall we? I mean, who doesn't want to jump into a tub of ice water after a grueling workout, right? But hold your horses, because we’re about to break down what the science really says about these chilly dips. With the resurgence of cold plunge popularity, thanks to social media influencers and pro athletes who swear by it, we take a critical look at whether jumping into icy water actually does anything for recovery. Spoiler alert: it might not be the miracle cure you think it is. We go over some recent articles that suggest cold plunges might even hinder your recovery by reducing blood flow to your muscles. Yup, you heard that right! We’ll dissect the evidence, weigh the pros and cons, and maybe even question why we ever thought freezing our butts off was a good idea in the first place. So if you’re curious about whether you should take the plunge or just stick to hot showers, stick around because we’re unraveling the cold hard facts right here!

    Ep. 173 Life Lessons from the Edge: How to Fill Your Days with Epic Memories

    In this episode: In the MMB we spotlight the increasing dangers cyclists face on the road today, a topic that weighs heavily on the minds of many. With statistics showing a shocking rise in cyclist fatalities, Jeff and Juliet dig into the science behind these incidents and share their own experiences of fear and frustration. It’s not all doom and gloom, though! They offer practical advice on how to stay safe while cycling, including the importance of visibility and the benefits of riding in groups. Through their banter, we also get a glimpse of the community aspect of cycling—the camaraderie, the shared struggles, and the collective push to make our roads safer. Because let’s face it, if we can’t enjoy our rides, what’s the point? Then we dive into the life of Joe Lavelle that reveals a world where adventure and athleticism collide in the most delightful ways. Imagine scaling the heights of Colorado’s famous 14ers, racing crits, and then swapping tales of daring escapades over a podcast microphone. That’s Joe for you! In this episode, we explore his journey from a skinny kid with a desire to bulk up to a seasoned athlete who embraces the challenges of aging with grace and humor. Joe’s tales are rich with the kind of wisdom that only comes from years of pushing boundaries—whether it’s deciding to tackle the Matterhorn or simply choosing to get off the couch and onto a bike. We laugh, we reflect, and we nod in agreement when he emphasizes the importance of filling life with powerful memories. Because really, who doesn’t want to look back and say, “Heck yeah, I did that!”? Segments: [07:40]- Medical Mailbag: Cyclist deaths on the rise [34:56]- Interview: Joe Lavelle Links Joe's Website

    Ep. 168: Lactate Sensors: The Science of Sweat or Just a Fancy Gadget? And, Older, Wiser, and Vaulting Higher: The Age-Defying Story of David Bonham

    In this episode: This episode features a Medical Mailbag segment that tackles the latest in sports technology, specifically lactate sensors. Are they the holy grail of performance metrics or just another shiny gadget? Jeff and Juliet break it down with their usual wit and sarcasm, dissecting whether these sensors provide meaningful insights for age-group athletes or if they’re just fancy toys to make us feel better about our training. Spoiler alert: the answer isn’t as clear-cut as you might hope. Then, the podcast dives into an unexpected yet fascinating realm of sports: pole vaulting, as seen through the eyes of David Bonham, a former high school pole vaulter turned masters athlete. It’s wild to think that after years away from the sport, an impromptu return was spurred on by his daughter’s passion for vaulting. David’s journey is not just about jumping over a bar; it’s a rollercoaster of life experiences, including a near-fatal heart attack and a major knee injury that would make anyone else reconsider their athletic aspirations. But not David. Oh no, he saw that heart attack as a wake-up call—an invitation to reclaim his athletic past and, quite literally, jump back into the fray. In this episode, we get a front-row seat to David’s world of pole vaulting, where he humorously recounts the absurdity of being the 'old guy' among teenagers at practice. His story is sprinkled with moments of irony, especially when he mentions how he was once self-taught, only to find himself once again under the watchful eye of coaches who actually know what they’re doing. It’s an inspiring tale of resilience; after a year of recovery from a devastating ACL tear, David not only returns to pole vaulting but also competes at a master's level, proving that age is just a number when you’re having this much fun. Trust me, you’ll want to hear how he navigates the perils of high school competition and the joy of setting personal records in his mid-fifties—it's a story about passion, persistence, and the occasional ridiculousness that comes with chasing your dreams at any age.
