Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast

Pull ups and powder skiing at 73 - A "silverback" tells us how it's done * Matt Pendola and Michael Stoker

Who says you can’t get stronger as you get older?

Today, Strength and RunForm Coach Matt Pendola is back and this time he’s accompanied by one of his clients, Michael ’Stoke’ Stoker, one member of a small group who Matt affectionately refers to as 'The Silverbacks’.

 

73 year old Stoke joins us to speak about how his 20 years of work with Matt has enabled him to continue powder skiing well into his 70’s, and build his strength up to the point where he can now do 7 full pull ups using the gymnastic rings (having been unable to do just 1 when he was 60).

 

Matt walks us through his approach to working with older athletes, and some of the very specific exercises he includes as well as others which he avoids. If you're looking for inspiration both in your strength training and from a 73 years young ‘silverback’ athlete, please pay attention as we also discuss:

 

• Building grip and core strength to improve pull up strength
• Why plyometrics and mobility work are hugely important for older athletes
• Older athletes need better force production
• Let your body tell you how much recovery it needs
• The benefits of kettlebell training for female athletes
• Fitness aging and longevity: It’s all about lifestyle choices

How strength training can help you be a faster cyclist * Menachem Brodie

Our podcast guest this week is Menachem Brodie, the National Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Israel National Track Cycling Team. He has his own consultancy business, Human Vortex Training, and has also written two books, Strength Training for Cycling Performance, and Lift Heavy Shit (links for both are below).

 

We've heard from numerous swim and run coaches recently about how technique can make a real difference to performance in their respective disciplines. Now it’s time to adjust the balance and hear from someone who specialises in helping cyclists to get stronger . . not on the road, but in the gym.

 

You may wonder if there's actually a direct correlation between how strong you are and how fast you can ride, but once you've heard from Menachem I think you’ll appreciate how some subtle changes to your gym work will help you be a better cyclist.

 

• Why the McGill BIG 3 should be your core training focus
• Why you should strength train on recovery days
• Vital importance of strength training for older cyclists and triathletes
• Aging, strength training, and bone health
• Why strength training will help you recover better and improve consistency

At 52, can I go sub-9 for Ironman? with Matt Spooner

You may have wondered about my choice of the phrase High Performance Human. It doesn’t relate to athletes who perform at the top of their age group.

The concept of high performance can be described as a measurable state where an individual consistently performs at a higher level of operational success compared with most of their peers within the same environment at a particular time. High performance is not absolute, but relative. 

 

Thus, a high performance human is someone who optimises their performance in many areas of their life - career, relationships, health, fitness etc. Many of you reading this will fall into that category even if you haven’t realised it.

 

Today's podcast guest is Matt Spooner and he definitely is a High Performance Human. At 51 he is still getting faster as a long distance triathlete. If you are a regular on some of the triathlon pages on Facebook I’m sure you have come across Matt’s posts as he shares his experiences of training and racing with the aim of helping other athletes. In this conversation we chat about:

 

• living in Switzerland and finding the perfect environment to live and train
• making a conscious decision to prioritise training and not get sucked into the corporate work trap of long working hours
• building consistency into his training 
• learning from elite athletes
• the challenge of completing IM Wales 3 weeks after completing the 4000km Transcontinental Bike race.
• How to balance training around business travel

 

Buckle up and get your note books ready because there’s a lot of great stuff in this conversation!

Women are not small men - Dr Stacy Sims

LISTENER: There were some pre production audio issues. Apologies for this. Please stick with the podcast as the sound quality improves during the conversation.

 

The name Dr Stacy Sims is probably familiar to many of you, especially if you are a female. She's written two very popular books. Her first was ROAR in 2016 (recently updated and revised). Her second book, Next Level, is about kicking ass and crushing goals through menopause, and was published in 2022. As a result of these two books and her public speaking, Stacy has become associated with phrases such as "women are not small men”, and "lift heavy shit". Thanks to those of you who sent in questions for Stacy. 

 

Much of today's conversation is based around those, and the show is broken down into 4 key areas:

 

• Exercise - specifically zone 2 and HIT for females
• Nutrition - fasting, some interesting guidance around protein, and following the same diets as male partners
• Strength training - developing the right technique so you can lift heavy shit, plyometrics
• Menopause - weight gain, HRT

 

Dr Sims has a lot of great ideas for you, so please listen carefully and do take notes. If you don’t already follow Dr Stacy Sims, these are the best places to keep up to date:

Facebook - drstacysims

LinkedIn

This is a TEDx Talk that Stacy gave on the topic of Women are NOT small men. It’s definitely worth a listen. In the show we discussed RED-S (Relative Energy in Sport). 

 

 

Stacy also recommended the following books:

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires (a kids book but the messaging is oh so good!)
Wild by Cheryl Strayed: From Lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail
Inferior by Angela Saini: The true power of women and the science that shows it
The StoryTeller by Dave Grohl

 

We also chatted about this book:

Margaret Sills - A true pioneer of UK Triathlon

Today's guest is Margaret Sills. I met Margaret about 20 years ago when she asked me to coach her. During the time we worked together she represented GB triathlon as an age grouper and also qualified for Kona twice. I can still remember waiting at the finish line for her to complete her first Kona (which she mentions in the conversation). She had some struggles on the day but she made it and as she crossed the line I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.

 

The reason I invited Margaret on to the show this week is to talk about her 40 years as a triathlete. In 2023 she finished her final event, almost exactly 40 years to the day from her first event in 1983. This, by the way, makes her a pioneer of triathlon in the UK, as the event she completed in Northampton all those years ago was one of the very first UK triathlons. I enjoyed the reminiscing, and I hope you do too!

• Northampton - That first triathlon in 1983  
• Emotional - The final triathlon in 2023 
• 40 years in triathlon and never injured
• Fitting training around life
• Dealing with life’s challenges - menopause, heart problems
• A lifetime of adventures - Race across America (twice),  LEJOG, mountain biking in the Himalayas
• Standing on the podium as a GB age group team member

The high altitude life of Rick Peters: Pilot, swimmer, high performance human

This podcast is called the High Performance Human podcast for a reason. It gives me the opportunity to showcase individuals who excel in their chosen sport, but also in many other areas of their life, while still focussing on basics such as sleep and nutrition.

 

Next time you take a flight, think about what you would like to know about your pilot - skills at their job (obviously) but also that they prioritise health and fitness, turn up each day having slept well and eaten the right foods to help them concentrate throughout the full duration of your flight.

Today’s guest, Rick Peters, is an elite swimmer, airline pilot, and high performance human.

 

He was introduced to me by long time client Toby Baxendale when he and Rick met at the Barbados Open Water swim festival, last November.

Rick finished 7th overall in the 5k swim (non wetsuit) in a very impressive time of 1hr 13 (an average pace of 1:28/100m), made even more impressive by the fact that Rick is 60 years old.

 

Rick still regularly captains long haul flights for Air Canada, and in today's conversation we talk about his daily fitness routine, his love for swimming, and how he stays so fit and healthy. Then we add in the complications of air travel, the impact of time zone changes, and some of the strategies Rick uses to mitigate these. Needless to say, I would be very confident to have Rick Peters as the Captain on my next flight! Some other topics we discuss include:

• Earthing - to help the body rebalance after crossing time zones
• Drinking hydrogen water to limit the impact of flying at altitude
• Finding time to workout when travelling
• The microbiome and how keeping your gut healthy has a major impact on brain health, sleep and general fitness

 

Rick doesn't use social media but if you have any questions for him, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind me forwarding them on. He did recommend some resources and books.

 

Books

“YOUNGER NEXT YEAR” (Live strong, fit, sexy and smart – until you’re 80 and beyond) by Chris Crowley & Henry Lodge.

The Psychology of Winning” (Ten qualities of a total winner) by Dr. Denis Waitley.

 

Video

Light as Medicine by Dr. Roger Seheult MD of MedCram who gives a very detailed description of how mitochondria produce ATP and what infrared light can do to optimize your health and immunity.

Coaching triathletes over 50 * Jo Lewis

You might have noticed a theme with some recent podcasts, as I've been searching out inspirational older athletes to share with you just what the future might hold if you have the enthusiasm and adjust your approach in the right way for you. I've struggled to find other coaches who specialise in working with older athletes, but that's corrected today as I speak with Jo Lewis.

 

Jo is a female triathlete in the 65-69 age group. As you will hear in the conversation, 14 years ago, Jo started a coaching group to cater for over 50’s triathletes. As one herself, she realised that no one was catering to the older age groups. Fast forward to 2024, both Jo and her group are still going strong. In the next hour we chat about her own triathlon journey, as well as:

 

• A proactive approach to aging, staying fit, healthy and competitive
• Coaching strategies for over-50's triathletes
• HIT training - how much, how often
• Specific strength work
• Paying attention to rest and recovery

 

Once agin, if you are an older athlete looking to stay at the top of your game, you’ll find some great information coming up!

 

To find out more about Jo please visit the following social media channels

Website - www.tri50.co.uk

Facebook “Tri50 - Specialised Triathlon and Swim Training for Mature Athletes”.

Instagram:  Tri50coaching

 

Jo specifically recommended these two books as being very helpful personally, and for her older athletes:

The Coaching Manual by Julie Starr 

The Complete Guide To Stretching by Christopher M. Norris

 

Finally, Jo requested that I include a link to “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel - she said, "This is ME from start to finish, gets me going every time, and is a funeral request of mine."

How to go sub-8 for an Ironman - Saying NO, time management, and strength training * Dr Dan Plews

Today’s podcast guest is Dr Dan Plews. Dan is one of our most frequent and popular guests. He and ‘The Prof' Paul Laursen have an on going competition to be at the top of the list with most appearances on the show.

It’s been a while since I chatted with Dan and since the last conversation he’s made a welcome and very successful return to racing, having crossed the line first overall at the 2022 IM New Zealand, and then getting a personal best of 8:18 at Challenge Roth despite a troublesome Achilles.

 

Our chat today is centred around Dan’s successful goal to race a ‘fast’ Ironman. At Ironman California in October last year he again crossed the line first and posted a 7:56.

 

Dan has a lot going on in his life - a young family, research projects, coaching a group of elite Ironman triathletes, working with the New Zealand Olympic kayak team, and his EndureIQ online education programme. There's a lot to unpick when it comes to how he made this sub-8 happen, including:

 

• Finding balance, and why commitment to a goal means saying NO
• Back to back training for time management
• How you can always find marginal gains 
• The role of carbs in triathlon performance and why the LCHF approach works for him
• A huge surprise as Dan declares his new found love for strength training

 

Dan is right up there with some of the smartest (and down to earth) people I know so I hope you enjoy the show!

 

To find out more about Dan please visit these social media channels

Dan’s personal Instagram - theplews

Dan’s business Instagram - endure_iq

 

Please check out the new Endure_IQ course on strength & power training for triathletes - 

 

In the podcast, Dan talks about fuelling his Ironman races on just 50g of carbs/hour and why he doesn’t believe that 120g/hr makes sense.

He explains more in this blog post:

120g/hour - deciphering the carbolution craze

 

Also in the conversation Dan mentioned that his goal to race a ‘fast’ Ironman was inspired by reading this book:

Die with Zero - Bill Perkins

Riding the bike is the easy part (even though it's 3,500k and 55,000m climbing)! James Risley part 2

This week we're back with James Risley as we continue the conversation about riding Le Loop - 3,500km of riding with 55,000m (yes, FIFTY FIVE HUNDRED METRES) of climbing, including some of the toughest climbs in France and Spain. Last week we talked about the preparation for the event and navigating life challenges - work, relationships, sleep - in order to get enough miles on the clock.

 

In today’s episode we talk about the event itself and James outlines a few issues he never even considered prior to Le Loop - like what happens when 100 riders are in a line waiting to get coffee at 6am and there is only ONE slow coffee machine.

 

In this episode you’ll get a real idea of how, even when things are way less than perfect, the human body can still get things done, as long as you let the mind do its thing.

 

• Feet, hands, and butt might be more important than fitness on a multi day ride
• Processed carbs and a lack of protein
• It's like riding in the 90’s - no Garmin, just arrows to follow
• Why it’s important to choose roommates carefully
• Beware the post-event depression
• What next?

 

The best place to find out more about James and to contact him if you have questions about Le Loop is on LinkedIn.

James also recommended the following book: Training Essentials for Ultrarunning by Jason Koop.

 

James was on a previous podcast talking about his High Performance Human lifestyle. You can listen to that episode HERE.

Get me to the start line healthy! * Dr James Risley

Have you ever thought about attempting a multi-day bike tour? Maybe the Raid Pyrenees (4-5 days) or Land's End-John o'Groats (8-10 days)?

Those are both big challenges, but how far would you push it? What about the full Tour de France route including rest days? 3,500km of riding, 55,000m of climbing in 22 days. There is actually an event called Le Loop which does exactly that, including a finish in the centre of Paris (although you don't ride all 8 laps).

 

Today's podcast guest is Dr James Risley, who I've been working with for well over 10 years. In November 2022, James decided to enter the full Le Loop event and take on the biggest challenge of his life. In this 2 part podcast we'll chat about everything from his training and equipment choices to logistical challenges and finally the day to day of the event and what happened afterwards. Hint, it wasn't all champagne and celebrations, and you can hear about this bit in part 2, next week.

 

Today we talk about how to prepare for an event like this, while also managing a new job role and the inevitable impacts on sleep, stress levels and relationships.

 

• Managing nutrition while living in a hotel
• I’m just an average athlete!
• Can you ever get enough miles in?
• My FTP is ONLY . . will that be enough?
• Proper bike fit is essential, and for this event it's for comfort, not aerodynamics
• Mobility and strength work is critical
