Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast

"Just make sure you are here next week” - How to win an Olympic Gold medal with Jess Learmonth

Since starting the podcast in 2017, I've been fortunate to speak with quite a few Olympic Gold medallists. It’s even more fun when you have known them since before that victory and observed their progress.

 

Today’s guest is Leeds-based triathlete, Jess Learmonth. I've known Jess for quite sometime, and I'm so pleased to be chatting with her today! About 8 or 9 years ago she started swimming with our Masters group at the Survival Saturday session. 2 hours of pain overseen by our enthusiastic coach, Alan Hutchinson. Jess went right into the top lane and then carried on. As you’ll hear in the show she was getting back into the pool after a 6 year absence. She’d started to dabble in triathlon and, because of the huge engine she built as a younger swimmer, she progressed very quickly. It wasn't long before she was selected for British Triathlon funding and a pathway through to the elite squad.

 

Arguably the strongest swimmer in the sport, Jess often emerged first from the water, and as one of the best cyclists, she then set the tone on the bike, hammering away at the front. As you’ll hear, running was a struggle for Jess. The ‘floppy ankles & feet’ required to be a good swimmer definitely do not help with running. In the conversation there’s a great message from Jess’ run coach Malcolm Brown about the value of consistency in training. Please listen out for that one.

Jess and I also chat about:

 

• The brutality of swimming squads for young athletes and why it “drained the life" out of Jess
• Why triathlon swimming seems so easy in comparison
• Having patience and building resilience
• Floppy ankles and not being a natural runner
• The hot, surreal experience of winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021
• Pregnancy, motherhood and why there are more important things in life than triathlon

Triathlon Together: Over 25 years of racing with Duncan & Claire Shea-Simonds

Age group athletes are the lifeblood of triathlon They are the ones who pay to enter races, and they make up 99% of the start list. Back in the day when I began in triathlon, the athletes were lifers. I can name a dozen or more who did their first event in the late 80's/early 90's who're still doing triathlons today. But in more recent years, triathlon seems to have become transient, with athletes coming into the sport for a few short years and then moving onto another sport.

 

Two of those who've stuck with the sport are my guests today, Duncan & Claire Shea-Simonds. Duncan started out in triathlon not long after me (1989) although he was significantly younger. Claire started her journey in 1997. In fact, I still have some results from back in the day which contain both their names.

 

Since those beginnings they have been regular participants in popular UK races, as well as international events like Ironman. Both have raced at the Ironman World championships in Hawaii, and both have also represented GB at various age group championships. Race results and fitness are important to them but as you will hear, they also have a simple life and pay a lot of attention to nutrition, strength training and hobbies outside of training. Especially Claire who, according to Duncan, has 101 different hobbies and a craft cupboard full of bits and pieces. They’ve been doing this together for over 25 years, so clearly they have a great relationship as well. 

As with all of my guests we cover a lot of topics including:

 

• Duncan talks about how to maintain enthusiasm after 35 consecutive years of racing
• How as a couple they manage their racing calendar and supporting each other at events
• Claire talks about training pitfalls when working from home
• Duncan talks about the benefits of using the daily commute for training
• Avoiding comparison with their younger self as performances decline with age
• Household chores and who does the cooking - turns out that they both like to do their stuff in the kitchen

Racing Performance: Is Being Lighter Truly an Advantage? Lexi Kelson

"Simon, I’d like to lose some weight before my next Ironman event. I’m going keto!”

 

Believe it or not, I hear this on a regular basis and it makes me anxious for the individual. Keto diets have been very successful in helping individuals lose weight although that's mostly due to the body needing to store less water from the reduced carbohydrate intake. True keto is also very restrictive and difficult to sustain for more than a few weeks. It is also stressful on the body. Training for an Ironman is also stressful on the body, which is why attempting both at the same time has the potential for disaster. Having said that, I’m sure there are folks who have done this successfully and if you are one of them, I’d love to hear your story.

 

The truth is that there are much healthier options for losing weight, if indeed you really need to lose any at all. My guest today is Registered Dietitian, Lexi Kelson, who's making her fourth appearance on the show. She has a  Master’s degree in Applied Nutrition with a focus on fueling for sports performance and is the perfect person to help us to understand the best approaches for endurance athletes to lose weight.

 

In the world of social media there is a lot of noise, and it is difficult to work out what is nonsense and what to believe. So, if you are interested in getting to your race weight in a health and sustainable way for next season, by the end of this episode you will have a step by step process to help you do exactly that. We talk about:

• Do you really need to lose weight, and if so, why?
• Confounding factors which influence performance and weight
• Balancing health and performance goals
• How to track and monitor weight loss
• Strategies for sustained weight loss
• Influences of behaviour and culture
• Some considerations for aging athletes
• Balancing training and nutrition
• Guidance for peri & menopausal females regarding weight gain/weight loss
• Are meal replacements (such as Huel) a suitable alternative to real food?

Triathlete and explorer, Chris Brown, makes history by becoming the first person to reach Point Nemo, the remotest location on Earth.

In last week's email I briefly mentioned my adventurous spirit and pursuit of ’triathlon tourism’.

Today’s podcast guest, Chris Brown, shares a similar and maybe even more enthusiastic approach to life.

 

Chris is a  triathlete, racing driver, entrepreneur, Guinness World Record Holder and explorer. I’ve known Chris for about 20 years. We first met through our local triathlon club, Leeds/Bradford, and Chris and his son Mika swam in my session every Wednesday.  For as long as I have known Chris he has always pushed the boundaries be it in business, with his fitness, or with the challenges he takes on. While triathlon has taken a back seat in recent years, I think it’s fair to say that regular swim, bike and run sessions help him to maintain the fitness levels required to take on all of these adventures. In this conversation we talk about:

• A passion for exploring and trying out new things
• Why exploring requires physical fitness, problem solving skills and lots of planning
• His trips to the Centre of Africa, Antarctica, and the middle of the Pacific locating poles of inaccessibility
• Chris’ early involvement with the ill-fated Titan submarine and why he pulled out
• Setting a Guinness world record

 

You’ll no doubt agree that Chris is a man who gets a lot done. I really enjoyed finding out what makes him tick! In fact there was a lot that I didn't manage to ask him, so maybe I’ll have to persuade him back for another chat.

When I asked Chris for his book recommendation he said, “Any Atlas of the World. When you hear about a place on the news, be it in Ukraine, Gaza, North Korea or anywhere, why not look up where it actually is and what's close?"

Tackling the TransContinentalRace - Cycling 4200km through Europe with Matt Spooner

My guest today is Matt Spooner, who recently completed the Trans Continental Race - a 4200km non-stop bike ride from Roubaix in France, down to Istanbul in Turkey. Apart from the start & finish, there are 5 checkpoints and several compulsory sections known as parcours. There are also some roads which are banned, generally because they are unsafe for the riders. After that the route is completely open to the choices made by the riders. This event isn’t just about cycling for many days. It’s also a logistical challenge and a heaven for any one who likes planning.

 

This is a podcast that was recorded in 2 parts. In the first half you’ll hear me having a short (30-minute) conversation with Matt while he is actually riding his bike through Greece, about 3/4 of the way to his destination. We chat about:

• Route selection and how that's working out
• Some of the problems he has encountered along the way
• Equipment choices 
• Daily nutrition on the road.

In the second half, Matt and I are speaking a few days after he has finished the event. We then reflect on his overall performance and also:

• Whether executing the plan is more satisfying than the time and position
• His decisions to stop and sleep in a hotel each night versus camping by the side of the road
• Why finishing an event like this is more about being able to eat as much as you can than having a high FTP
• More about equipment choices 
• Mindset for tackling TCR

Sleep smart - maximising health and performance * Dr. Luke Gupta

As we all start to consider the ways in which we can improve our performances after 2024, I think it is really useful to consider the role that sleep plays. More and harder training is often the first resort for many athletes seeking improvements in fitness. What if you were to do similar training to the previous season, but explored ways in which you could make that training more productive? Like a rising tide that lifts all boats, more or better quality sleep improves everything. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I don't believe there is any circumstance where more sleep has a negative impact.

 

In today’s show I’m joined by Sport Sleep Specialist Dr. Luke Gupta who practices with the Better Sleep Clinic. He has over a decade of experience working within high performance sport, including premier league football teams, England rugby, The Lionesses, and Formula 1, to name a few.

In this conversation Luke and I chat about:

• The 2 way relationship between sleep and performance
• Individual sleep needs are unique and should be determined through trial and error
• How to get better sleep when travelling
• Limitations of sleep tracking devices
• The 3 top fundamentals of good sleep

Is this the world's hardest triathlon? Paul Robinson is about to find out.

What do you think is the toughest triathlon in the world? Ironman Lanzarote, Norseman, ICON Livigno? They are all tough and have a legitimate claim, but what about this one?

 

Enduroman, also known as Arch to Arc. The athletes attempting this will run 87 miles from London to Dover, then swim at least 21 miles from Dover to France (distance could be more depending on currents/tides), and finally bike 181 miles from Calais to Paris. There have only ever been 59 finishers!

 

The latest to attempt this is Yorkshireman Paul Robinson. Paul is a seasoned triathlete and has been involved in the sport for over 30 years. He has completed several ultra distance events, as well as 3 Channel swims, so he has no illusions about what he is attempting. He is taking on Enduroman to raise money for charity, after being inspired by Nottingham triathlete Sam Perkins who now suffers from MND. Sam has set up his own charity Stand Against MND.

 

This is Part 1 of a 2 part episode, and in this conversation we’ll talk about:

• Specific logistical challenges for Enduroman
• How do you train for an event like this?
• Body fat for warmth vs weight loss for running 
• How and what Paul eats/drinks while running, swimming and riding
• Mental strategies for staying focussed
• The impact of the great British weather

How to age well and be a better athlete with 5 simple moves * Tim Anderson

"If you want to run faster, move better." That's the advice of several top running coaches I have spoken with. It’s particularly important for us older athletes, because as you might already know (and be experiencing) lack of mobility is part of the aging process.

Fortunately, today's guest Tim Anderson from Original Strength has a solution to the mobility loss, he calls it 'Pressing Reset’. As humans we are designed and born to be strong and healthy throughout our entire lives, and in our conversation Tim will explain how 5 simple movements that we all learn as babies literally builds our brain and ties our nervous system together. The cool thing about those movements that we're born with is that we keep them forever. We don't lose them!

 

In the conversation Tim explains how, with just 10 minutes of easy movement every day, you can tap back into those original movements, no matter what age you are, and rediscover your original strength. We talk about a lot of concepts that we have discussed in previous podcasts, such as:

• Nose breathing at rest and during exercise
• Head and eye control and how it impacts posture
• Rocking, rolling and crawling - The basis of simple movement
• The secret to aging well
• Born to Run, going barefoot and how to walk well
• How to Press Reset as part of your daily routine

Professional Gravel Bike Racer Danni Shrosbree

Gravel biking is growing really fast, and as much as I like being on my road bike, I find gravel riding much more fun. I discovered gravel riding during the pandemic, which is also what happened to this week's podcast guest. She is professional gravel racer Danni Shrosbree, and she races globally for the Felt UN1TD racing team.  She was UK National Gravel Champion in 2022, runner-up in 2023, and has finished 4th in the world famous Unbound Gravel race in Kansas.

What makes this conversation even more enjoyable is that Danni is the first child of a previous guest, Bernie Shrosbree, who was on the show in 2019. Danni and I chat about:

 

• Athletic influences from Mum and Dad
• How a diverse athletic childhood helped shape her current career
• Doing the OtillO swim/run event with Bernie
• Gravel racing and how to prepare for it
• Focussing on sleep and nutrition for the best recovery

How ultra-runner Kay Bretz improved his PB by 22% in 18 months

Kay Bretz is an ultra-runner and corporate leader from Australia. Kay has a passion for inspiring the magic, and shares his life lessons in his book Turning Right.

 

Kay thrives on embarking on quests which appear impossible. He was already accomplished in the corporate world, before going on to seek personal growth by entering the world of ultra-running where he learned to master the inner game. He began a challenging journey of emotional development where he learned to let go of his limiting beliefs. This resulted in him lifting his performance by 22% in 18 months, and in the process becoming the fastest-ever Australian at the 24-hour world championships in 2019. His insights go beyond what it takes to achieve world-class results, and have helped him since to be a more effective corporate leader.

He believes that anyone can step into their greatness  – all we need is the courage to walk new paths in the midst of chaos, and making the choice to "turn right".

 

Some of the topics we cover in the conversation are:

• Talent vs hard work
• Having a growth mindset and being agile
• The  ‘mystery run’ and getting out of your comfort zone
• Daily meditation
• Being the happiest person on the start line
