    IM Frankfurt Race Review. Dr Peter Sterling.

    We review the racing from the IRONMAN Frankfurt European Championships and Supertri Boston at the weekend. Peter Sterling PhD is an American anatomist, physiologist, neuroscientist and Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He is the author of What Is Health? Allostasis and the Evolution of Human Design (2020), and with Simon Laughlin, is an author of Principles of Neural Design. In this podcast episode we discuss the concept of allostasis and its implications on health. Dr Sterling shares his journey from studying homeostasis in the 1970s to coining the term allostasis, highlighting how stress and anticipatory regulation affect the body's physiological processes. We look at the impact of social and psychological stressors on overall health, the role of predictive regulation and the limitations of current healthcare systems, especially in the context of the United States. Dr Sterling emphasises the need for a balanced approach to managing stress and maintaining health, pointing out the dangers of polypharmacy and the importance of societal well-being.

    Carbon Monoxide. T100 Race Review.

    Bev calls in from London and we review the racing from the T100 in London.  Carbon monoxide inhalation is a tool used for testing an athlete’s VO2. Are some athletes now abusing it and using it to enhance their performance? We share an excerpt from the Science of Sport podcast. Kristian Blummenfelt’s team announce his plans to move to cycling after the Olympics.  There’ve been some interesting coaching changes for pro triathletes in the last few weeks. We discuss why these changes might have been made. Taupo New Zealand loses its December based IRONMAN 70.3 – what this means for NZ based pro triathletes going forward.
